There was a generation gap between him and kids these days. He had no idea what they were thinking.“Hey, hold up. Did I say you could leave?” Melody put her hands on her hips and pointed at Philip with a huff.Philip had barely turned when a few young men and women poured out of the mansion. They were all dressed to the nines and clearly came from wealthy backgrounds. When they saw Melody, all of them beamed and waved at her. “Hey, Melody! We were waiting for you. Where did you go? You said you went to pick up a friend, right? Where are they? Introduce them to us.”“Anyone the great Miss Zander calls a friend must be impressive indeed.”“He’s not your boyfriend, is he? That would break poor Master Finn’s heart.”They spoke over each other, their arms over each other’s shoulders as they joked and laughed. They were the very picture of youthful energy.Melody glared at the boy with the baseball cap and blonde close crop. She berated him, “Frederick Kelly, could you lay off it al
However, she waited forever without a result.Wynn frowned and keyed in the PIN again, but nothing changed.She could not do anything, so she called the security guard over and found out that the ATM was out of service and currently under maintenance. “Thank you,” Wynn told the guard politely and then walked toward the counter.Just then, however, a familiar voice called out to Wynn from behind her.“Wynn Johnston? Why are you here too?” Yolanda just happened to walk through the bank door at exactly that moment, and the first thing she saw was that familiar figure.It was Wynn Johnston, huh?The two of them exchanged a polite smile when they met, behaving exceptionally passionate with each other.“Yolanda, right?” Wynn said with a smile, her gaze saying she only wished she could have reunited with her old friend sooner. Back in college, Yolanda was her classmate and best friend.After they graduated, though, the two of them fell out of touch.It was not because Yolanda was
Just then, the man in the white shirt, Finn suddenly pulled a large bouquet of red roses out of his trunk. In front of everyone else, he fell onto one knee before Melody, saying passionately, “Mel, I really like you. Will you be my girlfriend?”The crowd went wild. Melody and her friends were not the only ones there, after all. This was a professional track, and there were at least a hundred people here, all of whom had rich parents.“Say yes, say yes!”Finn had clearly coordinated the chanting in advance.Frederick and the others were especially fired up. In comparison, Philip had long since been left by the wayside.That was perfectly fine by him, of course. He just wanted these dang kids to get their party over with and send him home.Once he got back, he had to complain to Theo about the latter’s daughter. She needed a good re-education.However, things did not turn out as planned.Melody gave Finn a cold look and rejected him outright. “Sorry, Finn. I know you like me, but
Philip’s gaze fell upon the red Ferrari behind Finn!If he gave that car to Wynn, she would not have to take public transport to work anymore. That would save her so much effort.With that thought in mind, Philip smiled with certainty.However, the people around him looked at him as though he was a fool.Did the guy hit his head on something?“What did he just say? He wants to race Master Finn? And if he wins, he wants Master Finn to apologize and give him the car?”“Well, damn! The guy’s got balls. Doesn’t he know who Master Finn is?”“The provincial three-time champion!”Many onlookers broke out laughing, jeering at Philip and feeling sorry for him.The pauper really thought he could beat the prince.Finn was scoffing heartlessly as well. He did not expect the friend Melody brought to be so unaware of his own capabilities. The man wanted a race with Finn?That was suicidal!“Haha, friend, I think you messed up there. If you’d just apologized like a good boy, I might have
It was quite the spectacle!That was why Riverdale was especially busy that day.The streets were filled with luxury cars, race cars, modified cars. They all surged down the roads, heading toward Dragonstone Mountain from all directions.“Mommy, why are there so many fancy cars? Where are they going?”Many children on the street were quite curious to see so many luxury cars driving past them.The adults were even more lost. What was up with the streets today?Was it a fancy car parade?In the end, even the transport department got involved, going down to the streets to maintain the order.There were simply too many luxury cars, each of them worth at least a million. There were even some that were worth tens of millions, like Aston Martins and Bugatti Veyrons!They could not afford any incidents!The streets were jampacked!All of these rich sons and daughters were stuck on the streets, slamming their steering wheels and cursing their heads off.The owners of normal cars all
The entire crowd nearly fell over from exasperation!Philip Clarke really was here as a f*cking prank, right? He had to be!Did he even know how to drive?Melody’s expression dropped a few more degrees. She was going to be utterly humiliated today.Everyone snorted at the screen, feeling utterly exasperated with Philip.“Go!”On the track, the sexy racecar model brought down the red flag she was waving!Finn’s Ferrari was the first to roar to life. It zoomed right ahead, leaving Philip in its dust.On the track, Philip’s AE86 was still parked in its original position. No one knew what he was up to.“What are you doing, Philip? Get moving!” Melody was beside herself with anxiety, so she grabbed the commentator’s mic and roared at him.Philip shrugged helplessly. “Sorry, I mistook the brake for the accelerator.”Pfft!The audience burst into laughter!Melody felt dizzy. She threw down the mic and sat back in her chair, pouting angrily and ignoring the happenings from now on.
Chase raised his eyes to look at the screen, his excitement spilling into his expression. “That wheelie has the world record for the fastest launch, and only one person ever used it. The inventor of that move was the F1 champion for four terms running. They say he’s the best racer the world has seen thus far, and some call him the international racing god. He set countless records in the racing scene that no one has managed to break to this day.”Shock washed over the audience’s expression in waves as Chase explained.In the end, they were almost numb to it all.“Do you mean that mysterious international racing god, Uncle Chase? No way.”Frederick stood in the crowd, voicing his extreme doubts.That had to be a lie!Frederick was not the only one. Many others shared his suspicions.That was insane.Chase frowned deeply. He looked at the image on the screen, his eyes filled with confusion. “I don’t know either. That mysterious racing god vanished seven years ago and was never se
On the screen, the black 86 had its tires in the gutter by the side. The car slanted, the tires rapidly spinning against the road. The friction resulted in plumes of white smoke, and the tires began to shriek as well!It took him slightly over two seconds!The car did not slow down at all!It simply lurched forth and left Finn’s Ferrari far behind!The whole action was quick and elegant!The cheers were abruptly silenced!Everyone was stunned speechless!Even the racecar girls who did not understand such things were clapping their hands to their mouths and gasping out loud!What was that just now?They had not even seen it clearly!Was that still racing?Finn was completely floored. He had been overtaken!In fact, he could not even tell how Philip did it!F*ck!In his fury, Finn slammed the accelerator, trying his best to catch up!However, after Finn personally witnessed how Philip traversed the next four hairpins, there was nothing but shock left in his heart!He had
