Mrs. Lewis hurriedly interjected, “Max, I can understand your kind intention, but we don’t have to go to such a high-end place just to celebrate my recovery. It’s too expensive!”She continued, “Besides, it’s just a meal. I can cook for you guys, let’s just eat in the orphanage. This way, you can save your money for other purposes. Don’t spend it on me, it’s not worth it…”She had been thrifty and frugal her entire life that she had never been to such a luxurious place before. Moreover, she would feel awkward and uneasy to dine at a place that would cost so much money.However, Max smiled and said, “Mrs. Lewis, please don’t say that. You literally brought us up, it’s about time for us to repay your favor. Besides, I’m not the only one to cover the bill, I’ll share it with them!”Seeing Mrs. Lewis’s hesitation, he persuaded, “Mrs. Lewis, don’t worry, it won’t be too expensive. The Hyatt Hotel is my company’s client, I can get some discounts on my visit, so it will cost them only a f
The BMW 5 Series and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Series were quite equivalent in their range, but Max knew very well that Charlie’s BMW 520 was the lowest model in the 5 Series, while his Merc E300L was closer to the most premium model in the E-Class Series. There were also the E260 and E200 models below him.In other words, Charlie’s BMW 520 was of the same grade as the Merc E200, while his E300L was more advanced than his car in terms of its performance.He grinned coyly and said, “Hey, Charlie, I don’t want to condemn you, but you are being so vain. Experts have said that you must never buy the cheapest and lowest model in the series. Why did you buy this lousy beggar version 520 instead of the better model with the higher-spec in the 3 Series? Are you trying to show off?”Some asked curiously, “Max, what is the beggar version?”Max answered with a smug smile, “The beggar version means the car with the lowest specs in the series, the entry-level, the basic of them all.”Everyone
“No can do!” Max shouted. When he saw Charlie start to back off, he jumped on him instead and said in a loud voice, “Guys, you heard him, right? You said it yourself, Charlie, ‘Hamilton can win because he is Hamilton, not because he has the best cars’. If so, let’s race and see if you really deserve the Schumacher nickname..”Charlie waved his hands timidly and said, “Hey, Max, just forget about the whole thing. We are not even at the same level, it’s not fair.”It truly wasn’t fair. A BMW 760 vs a Merc E300L was like sending a wolf after a Husky.Max assumed that Charlie was trying to talk him out of the race because he was scared, so he teased again, “Charlie, you were showing off just now, why have you become such a coward suddenly? Can't you man up in front of your wife?”Charlie replied, pretending to be annoyed, “Hey, Max, don’t say that. We’re childhood friends, why must you be so aggressive toward me? Yeah, you drive a great car, stop bragging about it! Do you think you can
Max said, “Mrs. Lewis, please stay out of it, this is between Charlie and me. Besides, no matter who wins or loses today, the orphanage is the biggest winner. The resale value of my car is about four hundred grand, Charlie’s car is slightly cheaper, around two or three hundred grand. You can use the money to improve the facilities and buy things for the children in the orphanage.”Charlie said with a warm smile, “Mrs. Lewis, don’t you worry about us, Max and I will handle it personally.”Mrs. Lewis was actually afraid that Charlie was at the losing end of the stick, however, looking at Charlie’s confident smile, she felt that it was not as simple as she thought.Frankly, while she was receiving treatment in Eastcliff, she noticed something strange and peculiar.Firstly, she noticed that the doctors in the hospital were very polite and respectful toward her, almost as though she was a VIP patient.When she was in the hospital, a famous celebrity had come to Fairview Hospital to see
The nosy guys cheered delightfully and hopped into the car, but since they only had two cars there, the rest had to take a taxi to Hyatt Hotel.Charlie got into the BMW 760. Claire sat in the front passenger seat while Mrs. Lewis, Stephanie, and Harvey sat in the back.Charlie said after starting the car, “Guys, sit tight. Later when I reach the straight road ahead, I can win the race with just a step on the accelerator.” Then, he looked at Mrs. Lewis and said, “Mrs. Lewis, please hold on to the handrails. Once I accelerate, I will win a Mercedes-Benz for the orphanage! You can sell it for three hundred thousand dollars, then use the money to buy toys and books for the children!”Mrs. Lewis nodded with a gentle smile. “I thank you on behalf of our children!”Meanwhile, five people were inside Max’s car, all of whom were his lackeys.Max drove and stopped beside Charlie’s car, wound down the window, and said with a smirk, “Hey, buddy, whenever you’re ready, man! I’ll give you a t
If he really went back on his words, he would be a laughingstock forever!However, he didn’t want to give away his brand new car to the orphanage!For an instant, he even thought that he would simply drive away, skip the dinner, and never interact with his orphanage friends again in the future!Something struck his mind again and he had a change of plans. He shifted to the right lane swiftly and tailgated the car in front of him!Max had the perfect plan laid out in his mind, and that was to stage a car accident! That way, the race would be forfeited due to unexpected circumstances, so he would not lose!Thus, he eyed the cars on the road, searching for a scapegoat.At this moment, the guy in the front passenger seat yelped in horror, “Max! Max! You’re going to hit the car! You’re going to hit it!”Max smirked and thought, ‘Yeah, I want to hit it!’However, as he got closer and closer, he realized that it was a black Porsche Cayenne. He stepped on the brakes immediately!A Por
Although the Porsche was a luxury car brand, an ordinary Cayenne was just over a million.German’s Volkwagen was considered a common car brand too, however, the Phaeton was a very rare and expensive model.The top-spec Phaeton was worth more than two million dollars which were equivalent to the top-spec Audi A8, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and BMW 7-Series.Earlier, Max was so taken aback by the Porsche Cayenne’s logo that he had instinctively tried to crash into a cheaper car. When he saw the Phaeton, he only recognized the Volkswagen logo and the car looked like a cheap Passat, so he ran into it swiftly.Never did he expect that it had turned out to be the underrated Phaeton…When he thought of the car’s price tag—2 freaking million dollars!—he was so depressed that he wished he could die right there and then.The parts-to-whole price ratio was an important element in a car that would reflect the auto maintenance cost in ordinary use. In other words, if the parts of a car were taken
The Four Great Guardians were well-known figures in Aurous Hill, and Jayden was the most famous of them all.His nickname in the underworld was Chief Jay.Max never expected that he would run into Jayden’s Phaeton in order to avoid a Porsche Cayenne.He regretted his decision very much. If he knew that it would end up like this, he would have crashed his car into the Porsche!No! If he knew it would be like this, he wouldn’t agree to race with Charlie! It was a trap!Yes, that’s right!Charlie was to blame for all of this! The b*stard had tricked him! His BMW 520 must be a modified car since it was surprisingly powerful.If Charlie hadn’t set up the trap, he wouldn’t have made such a decision!Max hated Charlie very much as he thought of it.Jayden snorted at Max’s pale and shaky face, and growled, “Hey, show me your driver’s license and ID!”Max nodded profusely, went into the car to retrieve all the cards, and handed them to Jayden respectfully. Jayden glanced at the cards
