After eviscerating Renly, Piers dropped down onto a leather chair, muttering to himself, “These Kerseys…There was that kid’s pa, and now this kid turned out to be a chip off the old block. Can’t believe he dragged the Soroys into this to rub this in my face! As if disrespecting me wasn’t enough, he had to use this as an excuse to bind them into an alliance! God. Schemer Jr. is what he is!”He picked up his phone. Without needing to scroll through his contact list, he punched a series of numbers onto the screen. A few moments later, Zephiel’s voice came through the phone. “From one senior citizen to another: Do you mind not waking me if you can’t sleep?”“Bah, you weren’t sleeping at all, fox. You must be feeling all swell and smug after all of this! Hell, I bet I interrupted your victory dance!” Piers snarled.There was no sound coming from the other side for a long beat. It was long enough that it piqued Piers’ curiosity. What could that guy be up to? Why the silence?His question
Mei’s insistence to refer to Javier as Master stumped him into saying nothing more. He understood Mei’s good intentions, and since he himself was not the type to be fixated on forms and formalities, he let it slide.Mei’s ascension to her new position went swimmingly. With the Kerseys backing her and the defeat of Xion and his faction, even those who were bitter and resentful of the change dared not object. It was as Javier had told them—they were welcome to begrudge the change and be embittered, but they better not show it unless they wanted to die.He was obviously threatening them. He was also gleefully humiliating them, forcing these people to stomach their fury as though they were little more than a group of milquetoasts. Despite being brazenly humiliated by Javier, they could only answer affirmatively and obey him.It was intimidation at its finest. The fact that the Whites had not retaliated against the Kerseys, who had moved against them, was not lost on the dissenters. If a
It had been one year. One full year had passed.One year ago, Javier had still been a poor, pathetic man who used to deliver takeout, but one year later, on his birthday alone, countless car company bosses had come to congratulate him.Javier felt bad. “Folks, this is too much for me. I’ve done nothing, but all of you busy bosses have taken time out to celebrate the birthday of a junior like me. I’m more than flattered!”Javier genuinely felt bad, but those who were there had come with a sincere heart.“Mr. Kersey, you deserve it. You’ve united the local car manufacturers and selflessly shared the hydrogen propulsion system with all of us. This is a great contribution, and for this alone, we ought to come and celebrate you!”“Exactly. Mr. Kersey, the FIA could have cared less about us previously. They treated us as if we were nobodies, but we’re different now. With the brand Chinean and the hydrogen propulsion system, they have to look up to us instead. We’ve never experienced suc
When the car cover was flipped, Quinna was shocked.“Is this like a local Hummer?”It looked exactly like the car model mentioned, but it was about five meters long. It was crazy. The angular sides and the strong, masculine shape of the car were fiercer than the Hummer’s. It was a tough guy’s car, and one look at it made one shudder from the pain of one’s bottom being jolted.Upon opening the car door, however, it was revealed that there was ample space inside the car, which felt absolutely luxurious. When one’s bottom actually sat down in it, it was indescribable. The entire seat was as comfortable as it could get.The noise was minimal when the push start button was pressed. If the vibration feedback had not been present, one would not even have felt the engine working.After asking Quinna to get in, Javier took the car for a ride.Lo and behold, it was unbelievably amazing. The car did fine on any road or terrain. There were only places one could not imagine, but nowhere this
Quinna did not accompany Javier on his birthday night, as she could sense Jade’s feelings for him. They ran deep, so she was willing to let him go no matter how reluctant she was.Quinna was well aware that she could not compare to Jade in this aspect, so she did not have any intention of being with Javier tonight.Tonight, Javier belonged to Jade. As for her…she belonged to her bed back home.Jade left the next day. She was the vice general manager of Reivaj Group, after all, so there were a lot of things to handle.Javier returned to Heisenberg Group after putting Jade on a flight. While he had no position in the company now, he was more familiar with the workers than many of their superiors, so he could at least enter just by flashing his face.Driving the SUV named Chinean Soul, Javier reached the office building. A few of the company executives were flummoxed, not comprehending where this Chinean car had been manufactured, as it already had a registration plate.A vice manag
As a racer, Sven frequently participated in rally races. Rally races were races that were not recognized by any official parties, but they were slightly higher in class than the money bet on underground racing. They acted as selection races where only the winners qualified to join legitimate races, and those who lost would not qualify.Although official races were open-registration events, the insider terms were actually…Basically, race teams only qualified for official races after winning rally races. As for small-time race teams who had no money or sponsors and wanted to win a race based on their skill, they could forget about it. It would only remain a fantasy without a decent car!It was due to these factors that the race teams one would see in official races were always a handful of familiar ones.A lot of people cheered when Sven appeared. After all, he was a true ace skill-wise and he was much stronger than those who won by throwing in money.When Javier appeared after S
It was not just John. Sven, who was in the exclusive car, felt like he was going crazy. The moment he stepped on the accelerator after switching to sports mode, he felt like he was floating.It was not an exaggeration. If the seatbelt had not been there to tie him down on the car seat, he really felt like he would have floated away.It was very aggressive. The car was as fast as a flash of lightning. His eyes could not even keep up, so he dared not glance at things on the side. He would get dizzy if he did.Before he snapped out of this daze, the car had reached the finish line. When he turned back to look at John’s Veryon, he was actually 600-700 meters away…“Is this still a f*cking car? Did they modify an aircraft engine and put it in this car? Its power is lethal!”Sven was a professional racer, yet his legs began buckling when he got out of the car. He dared not imagine the potential of this car. That burst of speed made a shudder run through him as he recalled it.Yes, a sh
Aside from Chinea’s Heisenberg Group, other Chinean car brands within the country had also gotten introduced into the market. Thus, while the country’s automobile industry was working together, they decided in unison to launch their products overseas instead of fighting with one another in their own country’s market. Their overseas market swiftly opened up thanks to their reputation of having good-quality cars. However, many of the foreign netizens expressed their anger about Chinea’s cars being about three times more expensive than their own local cars, which had similar specifications. In fact, they were beginning to cost as much as a Mercedes G63, something that had been absolutely impossible to imagine in the past. This was especially true for the Chinean cars that had recently entered their country. Foreign netizens all thought that Chinea was going on a “suicide” campaign and ruining the entire market’s economy. There were many automobile-related social platforms that p
