Chapter 268
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 stayed far, far away from the wealthy drivers, putting at least several tens of meters between them.
It was too worrying!
If they even bumped into those cars, the repairs might cost them their house!
“What the f*ck is happening here?” The captain of the transport team was stunned to hear that hundreds of fancy cars had taken to the streets too.
Meanwhile, Philip’s race against Finn was about to begin.
The entire track had been emptied out. Everyone stood at the stands, looking at the enormous digital screen.
The track was covered with cameras, and the giant screen played the footage live. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
On the track, Finn was done with his preparations. He wore a red racing suit, and before he got into his car, there was even a sexy racecar model who presented him with some champagne in lieu of an early celebration.
Finn gave Philip the finger, saying with contempt, “Hope you don’t lose too badly.”
With those words, he opened the car door and slipped inside.
On the other hand, Philip shrugged helplessly. He did not even have a car right now.
No one here was willing to lend him one. They were embarrassing him from the start.
“Damn, he challenged Master Finn when he doesn’t even have a car?”
“That’s so embarrassing! If I were him, I would have found a hole to hide in by now.”
“Who the f*ck is he? Does anyone know him? He’s so f*cking stupid.”
The jeers and laughter did not stop.
Philip looked at Melody in exasperation, and she said with great reluctance, “Fine, you can take my car. Do you know how to drive it? Don’t you dare crash it, because you definitely can’t afford the repairs!”
She was very unhappy with Philip right now. He just had to insist on racing Finn. What if he lost? Still, she had no choice. She was the one who brought Philip here, so it would be unfair of her not to help.
To everyone’s surprise, though, Philip shook his head and said, “Forget it, I can’t afford to drive your car. If I happen to crash it, I can’t afford to pay you either.”
His statement made the entire audience burst into laughter.
After that, Philip walked to the side and pointed at an AE86, asking the man next to it, “Could you lend me your car, mate?”
The man looked at Philip and shrugged. “Fine, I’ll be a good guy for once. But be careful with it, this is an AE86, you know. The racing god of Mount Akina.”
Philip gave him an OK sign and said with a laugh, “Sure thing. If I crash it, I’ll make sure to pay you back.”
Melody witnessed the whole thing, clenching her teeth. What the hell was wrong with Philip?
Was he saying that her Porsche 911 was no match for an AE86?
Soon, the race began!
Finn had long since been ready. He sat in his car, his eyes alight with flames of confidence. Looking out of the car window, he gave Philip next to him a look of contempt.
Hehe.
In the control room, there were a bunch of people gathered around the large screen and the pile of data everywhere.
These were all professional data analysts.
There were quite a few professional racing analysts gathered around as well, and they were paying rapt attention.
Of course, they were mostly occupied with Finn’s data, because he was going international later that year and joining the F1 circuit too.
The live feed from the track and the cars were being played here as well.
Finn Gerald was as dashing as ever, stealing the hearts of many female racers and racecar models.
The control room was filled with the cheers of lovestruck girls.
As for Philip, he was still getting used to the interior of his car. Looking here and there, he murmured to himself, “Clutch on the left, brakes on the right…”
