Ben felt that there was something fishy here. After all, from the way that these guys were confident and the way that there was a sense of familiarity coming from Jack after he had watched the video, he began being skeptical about this race.
He wondered where their confidence was coming from. But, after a moment of thinking, he couldn't find a single clue about it. In the end, he could only bite the bullet as they had already signed the contract.
"Let's get going." He said to his flunkies after returning the phone to its owner. And with that, he headed towards the area where those that were participating in racing parked their cars.
Jack and the others had nothing to do at the office. So, they too headed towards the parking lot. The race would be a one on one. So, the preparations would be completed in at most ten minutes.
At this moment, a crowd had already formed at the spectators' stands.. These people had rushed here upon hearing that the young masters of Inchoate were going to race. So, there was a big crowd.
However, most of then were wondering if the driving deity Jack would be present on this day. They had watched the videos. Although they didn't show his face, just from the fact that he was with the young masters, it was obvious that they knew each other.
"Do you know who organized this race?"
"Yeah. I heard that this is a race between the younger generation of Blue city and Inchoate City."
"What? You mean that Ben is here again?"
"That bastard is always looking for a way to embarrass our young masters."
"Humph, you guys don't know a thing. This time, the one that is racing with him is not William and the others."
"Are you sure? If they're not going to race, then who's going to?"
"I think that you're new to racing competitions right? You haven't heard that our Inchoate City has an expert in driving?"
"Really? Why haven't I heard about him yet?"
"Maybe because you are deaf?"
"Hey, since when did I become deaf? If I were deaf, how would I be hearing you?"
"Maybe you don't understand what I'm trying to say?"
"Of course, how am I supposed to understand the rubbish that you're talking? You better get back to kindergarten so that you can learn how to speak well!"
"You, how dare you insult me?"
"When did I insult you? I'm saying the truth!"
"…."
Of course, Jack and the others didn't know what was going on among the crowd of spectators. But, even if they knew, they wouldn't care at all.
When they got to the parking lot, Ben's movements stiffened. He looked at the parked Bugatti Veyron with a frown on his face.
Previously, he had seen this Bugatti Veyron in the parking lot of the Glaze Hotel. Although he admired it, he thought that it belonged to some big shot in the banquet. At that time, he'd said that some old men had began having youthful tastes.
But, on seeing the Bugatti Veyron here, he could guess that the owner of this car wasn't an old man but a youngster. Now, he wondered what youngster owned this car.
According to his memories, there was no youngster from Blue city or inchoate city that could afford the car. So, he turned to one of his flunkies and said, go around and ask who the owner of this car is.
Even he was interested in such a car. He may make a request to drive it. He was sure that the owner of the cat wouldn't dare to deny him, right?
ραпdα Йᴏνê|(сòm) Just as he was expecting his flunky to rush out and ask about the owner of the car, he heard William's excited voice. "Jack, are you going to drive the Bugatti Veyron? Ain't that going to be an overkill?"
He frowned. This car belonged to Jack? At this moment, his heart skipped a beat. He knew that this car wasn't like those that were priced at ten million and below. This was a car of at least thirty million.
The price wasn't just for show. This car had a good engine, better acceleration, higher maximum speed and so on. If he could drive this car, he was sure the nobody would manage to beat him. But now, his opponent was the owner of this car.
But at the same time, he began being skeptical about Jack's background. Not only did he know Celine whose background was deep, but his own car was a customized version of Bugatti Veyron. According to what he could see, it should cost at least fifty million dollars.
Had he just said that he was giving out fifty million to Jack for charity? No wonder he said that the hundred million that he was asking for were to be used for maintaining the car. This implied that he was going to use this car in racing.
He sensed danger! So, before Jack could reply, he shouted, "That won't happen! If you use this car, that would be cheating. We have to use the same type of car so that we can compete on our driving skills!"
"Hahaha, look at you young master Ben. How's this cheating? This is Jack using his own money to get a good car for racing. He used his own abilities here. How can that be called cheating?" Luke laughed out.
"Young master Ben. I'm pretty sure that if this Bugatti Veyron was your car, you would have insisted on how right it was for you to use it in racing right?" William asked with a sly smile.
Ben almost wanted to nod. Not only did he wish that this car was his, but also thought that he was the only one with the right to own such a car. But at the last moment, he managed to reign in his impulse and snorted while looking at Jack.
"There's no need for you to stare at me like that. You can choose whatever car you want us to use in racing." Jack stated. His skills were good enough to deal with this amateur as long as the difference between the cars wasn't big.
Ben's expression lightened a little. He thought, 'If this was where you got your confidence from, now that it's out of the way, let me see what you'll do after I defeat you in the race.'
Ben decided that they would use Ferrari cars. There were three Mansory Ferrari Roma. These cars were worth at least two million dollars if the customization costs were added.
Ben took a red one and Jack took a blue one before driving to the starting line. They were going to wait for five minutes before the race began.
Upon seeing the cars, the crowd immediately began cheering. But of course, they mostly cheered for Inchoate City. The moment that they heard that the blue Ferrari Roma was the one that represented inchoate City, they cheered even louder.
In five minutes, the screen dropped as usual. The countdown began as the engines of the two cars began revving madly.
Jack was seated with William this time. Although he had been here before, he had yet to memorize the patterns of the road. So, he needed someone that could help him in the issue of guiding him on what bend came next.
If he had come with his Bentley Continental GT, he wouldn't have to go through all this trouble considering the fact that his Bentley Continental GT had a map.
William was ecstatic to have volunteered first. After all, he had seen the replay on how Jack drove the car. In turn, this time, he was going to experience it first hand. For the first time, he was glad that George wasn't present. Otherwise, he surely would have lost the chance.
The moment that the countdown ended, both vehicles rushed forward. Since there were only two cars racing this time, they had the same starting point.
The cars only differed when it came to customization. But, in terms of speed of acceleration, they were all the same. So, they began by matching each other.
Inside his car, Jack narrowed his eyes. Since this guy had insulted him, it was good for him to repay at this moment. So, he decided to make sure that he took the lead from the very start.
Although he couldn't remember the roads well, he had at least gotten familiar with the road here. So, he was going to maximize his driving skills here.
Switching the gears, his car began accelerating even faster than Ben's. Even William was stunned upon noticing this fact. Although the difference wasn't that big, the fact remained to be that, Jack's car was faster than Ben's.
Ben also noticed this. He floored the accelerator, trying to catch up. But in the end, he found that there was no difference at all. Jack's car was gaining distance and so was the gap between them. It had already began forming expanding.
When they reached a corner, Ben was expecting to overtake Jack here due to his good driving skills. In the end, Jack's car didn't reduce its speed at all, it made a drift and the tires on one side were lift off the ground by a few centimeters.
Compared to the previous time, Jack could be said to have made a better drift. After all, last time, the tires rose in such a way that it seemed that the car was about to be overturned.
Ben on the other hand was forced to reduce his speed by a lot to get past this sharp bend. By the time that he accelerated, he found that the gap between them had already been enlarged to over a hundred and fifty meters.
And, that was just the beginning. For the first time, Ben experienced what was called professional driving. As, just after a few corners, he couldn't see Jack's taillights at all.
With that, the pride that he'd been having all these years about being the best driver of the current younger generation was crushed into smithereens. His eyes lost light as he drove.
He had tried catching up but was forced to give up racing. Now, he was only going to complete the race, nothing else. On the other hand, he could already see the shares in his hands slipping away.
No, It wasn't slipping away. He had given it away with both hands! After all, by now, he already knew who Jack was. He had actually decided to compete with a person that was given a title in racing. He decided to compete with the Driving Deity Jack!
