Since he had decided to leave this country, Eric would prefer to act earlier than later, but before he did so he needed to have a look at the direction, and his path.

Okinawa was found on a big island as the whole Country was nothing but a cluster of islands, so there were two paths for him to leave.

By the air, or by the sea!

By the air would be the easiest, simplest, and shortest way to leave. That, if he wasn\'t already a national criminal that everyone was trying to catch.

Even now, roaming through the place was extremely dangerous for Eric, because if he came across some expert that recognized him, he would have to either fight him to death or escape as soon as possible.

So the only way out of this country for him was through the sea. While that would be much more difficult, tiresome, and long he didn\'t have much of a choice.

It wasn\'t like he didn\'t think of using a fake identity to pass the border, but he didn\'t know any good passport forgers, and even less some high positioned people capable of helping him.

Not to mention that instead of getting what he wanted, he might even fall into some kind of trap, that would put him in even more difficulties.

But he didn\'t worry much either, as he saw this journey as a way to test, and train his physical prowess, and at the same time challenge his limits.

Certainly, he wasn\'t that stupid as to make the whole way swimming though, as he had intentions of buying a boat that would send him until the water borders between the two countries.

With those thoughts in mind, Eric finally arrived at a small harbor in the outskirts of Okinawa and started looking around the place.

He was looking mostly at the people around, and the boats berthed on the piers. There were all kinds of boats, and people going through the place.

Each of them having their own discussions, and things to deal with. Even though it was late at night there were still a lot of people roaming around.

Eric already had a bit of experience with boats after his trip to Africa, so he didn\'t need a guide, but he needed a good boat that was for sure.

He didn\'t need to look for long, as he finally found an average boat with the \'For Sale\' tag upon it, and he quickly made his way forward.

As he arrived at the boat, he found a middle-aged guy who was slowly tying the rope after having berthed the boat, clearly in a terrible mood.

Eric didn\'t know what he had and didn\'t care, he approached with a natural step, and said to the middle-aged guy with a clear voice,

"How much does this boat cost? Do you still sell it?"

The middle-aged man turned his head around at this point and threw a look at Eric who was wearing normal everyday clothes, immediately a look of loathing and anger appeared on his face.

"Buzz off kid! I have no more patience to deal with jokers today! It has been enough, I am extremely tired!"

"Huh!?"

Eric couldn\'t help but have a look at himself at the moment, as he found out that he couldn\'t exactly blame the guy.

He was extremely young and wearing some really cheap clothes, so he didn\'t exactly make the cut.

If someone like him took a lot of money from his bag at this moment, he would be extremely suspicious, and all his planes would surely get ruined.

Thinking like that, he quickly managed to regain himself, as he said,

"Mister, you have misunderstood me, it\'s not me who wants to buy this boat but my employer! Since he was extremely busy he sent me, an intern to look around and make some inquires."

The middle-aged guy threw him another look, seeming still unconvinced, as he said,

"150.000 dollars!"

The fishing boat wasn\'t that big, only about 15 meters long, having only one small room below, and the deck above. Not to mention that it was second-hand, the price stated was far from a good price.

Scratching his head a bit embarrassingly, Eric looked towards the middle-aged guy and said,

"Mister, despite being an intern, I have a really deep passion for boats and cars. That was one of the biggest reasons my employer sent me here to look for a boat for him.

Even though I haven\'t seen the parameters, by what I know this boat can only sell for 70.000 dollars, and that is when it\'s brand new. Surely you won\'t tell me that it came from the factory yesterday, right?"

The middle-aged man seemed extremely surprised at Eric\'s words, as despite not looking like a boat person, he clearly knew how to play the role and had the necessary knowledge.

Certainly, the middle-aged guy would never believe it to be acting because Eric truly had some knowledge about boats, he had already made his research.

Now that he had heard all this, there was no way that he could keep going with his attitude, as he seemed to have changed radically in a short amount of time, as he said,

"Good kid! You seem to know quite a lot about boats! It\'s no surprise that they have sent someone like you!

I am sorry for the way I treated you earlier, it\'s just that there have been a lot of people asking and only taking a ride, so I was a bit irritated.

The real price is 45.000 dollars. Despite not looking much on the outside, the motor on the inside is new, and everything works without a glitch!

If it weren\'t that I needed the money, I would have never sold it!"

Eric had already checked this boat with his spirit sense so he could say that the man was telling the truth, but he still continued to play his role as he said,

"Can I have a look at the motor, I don\'t need a ride or anything!"

It was only at that point that the middle-aged man truly thought that Eric was interested in his boats and knew about them.

Just like when buying a car, even when buying a boat, one who was truly interested in the vehicle would look at the inside, and not the feeling on the road.

Certainly, the test drive was important as well, but if the inside wasn\'t as it should be, then the ride was useless.

With this newfound appreciation, the middle-aged man said,

"Follow me!"

In not a long time, they finally arrived at the destination, as Eric started looking around, and spelling some useless information about the motor, or some pieces that he had read online.

Finally, after more than 10 minutes, he looked at the middle-aged man, and said in a deep voice,

"I can see that you have treated this baby like it\'s your own child. I truly wonder why you are selling it now?"

Hearing those words the middle-aged man seemed to get a bit emotional, and age a few years in a short time, as he finally sighed and said,

"Sigh~! I have to sell it for my sister! Her husband is a scumbag that managed to cheat her good feelings for him and trapped her into marrying him.

The first few years they were extremely good to each other, but then he started gambling, drinking, and drugs. Becoming a total waste.

Recently he gambled a lot and entered into a big debt with some people from out of town. Those guys threatened him, and my sister, that if he doesn\'t pay then they would use her body to pay the debt.

Even though she has already left the family nest, I can\'t allow her to suffer so I have no other choice but to sell this boat to make a part of the debt.

But even this won\'t be enough!"

Looking at the middle-aged man Eric felt a bit emotional as well, he perfectly knew the pains of being poor, and especially when someone in the house leeches off on the back of someone else.

For almost his whole previous life, Tina and Michael had leeched of him. He would always suffer in order to make them live a better life.

The only thing he had learned through all that though, was that those people never change. Since this was the first time hearing about someone suffering the same thing he became a bit emotional.

Thinking deeply for a moment, he then said,

"Mister, I don\'t know you, but looking at the conditions of this boat I can say that there is some fate amidst us.

I know that many people have already told you to advise your sister to stay away from that man, and I know that it\'s fruitless and useless, so I won\'t say the same.

What I can say, is that I am not an intern for my employer, I am the boss. The only reason I came dressed like this is because I don\'t want people to judge me by my outfit.

I can pay that guy\'s debt for you in return for something so precious but that wouldn\'t be a solution, as the next time that guy will create even bigger trouble for you, and I am not a good person either.

So, this is my offer for you, I will deal with that guy, his debt, and whatever comes with it, but in exchange, I want to have a shot at your sister!"
