Chapter 32 Jasper? A Tattooed Gangster?

Watching Eric leave, Eileen stood at the bus stop, still wearing the Petalburg High School uniform, distinguished by the knight riding and archery school badge on her chest. Anyone with a keen eye could easily identify her school affiliation.

Amidst the bustling street, Eileen’s bright appearance made her stand out, attracting both. friendly and potentially malicious attention.

Just then, three troublemakers approached Eileen.

It was still the year 2000, with no street cameras, and technology was not as advanced as it would be later. This made it challenging to gather evidence in case of any untoward incidents, leaving wrongdoers with a sense of impunity.

They then looked back at Eileen and the one holding the ID card asked, “Why are you out of school so early, girl? Why don’t you come and have some fun with us?”

As he spoke, he extended a hand toward Eileen…

Elsie moved closer and hooked her arm around Eric’s, intimately observing the scene not far away. She could not help but admit that Eileen was undeniably beautiful, which sparked a hint of jealousy within her.
