Zayn tipped his chin upwards confidently. There was a saying that no girl could refuse diamonds as a gift. He had used all his allowance saved up for months to buy this necklace.Last night he had deliberately walked away and left Katie in that embarrassing place, that had been a lesson to her so she would realize who was the better man between them.Some women just needed a little taste of hardship, and their loyalty would immediately take a shift when they couldn't take the hardship anymore.Zayn believed that Katie ought to have learned her lesson after last night, so he made a timely appearance this morning.He was sure she would be swept away by his thoughtful and romantic gesture, she definitely wouldn't want to refuse him.For months he'd been showing his interest in her but she'd never given him a straightforward reply, now that she must have realized her mistake, it was the perfect moment to make his big move.Zayn clapped his hands and the men holding roses all marched forw
Peter continued with his daily schedule at school without paying attention to the students whispering and talking about him everywhere he went.Later that day as he was headed to the school cafeteria, he suddenly received a text."Hey Peter, wanna hang out today?" Peter suddenly recalled he'd met Walter Heed when he'd purchased his cars.The star racer of ACR wanted to hang out with him, of course he wouldn't refuse.Racing was Peter's favorite sport and he always got excited about it even though he mostly never had time to watch the racing games before because he was always busy working, but at least now he had time to get to hang out with the star racer he used to watch.Peter immediately typed a reply. "Sure, where do you wanna meet up?" A reply came immediately back, "I wanna show you one of my latest customized cars, I'm sure you'll like them. Let's meet at the official ACR track."Peter had never been there before, however he knew where it was located. Since he no longer had an
Walter was about to start the car and turn around when Peter suddenly gripped his arms stopping him."Why are we leaving? Those guys are clearly blocking the tracks deliberately, I'll go talk to them and they'll allow us pass through."Walter was about to stop Peter from doing that but he had already stepped down from the car before Walter could stop him.Peter walked up to the three who sized him up contemptuously.The lady among them clinging to the guy with red hair. "Brother Jason, who is that guy riding in Heed's car? He doesn't look like a racer."The guy with red hair scoffed, "Che! It seems Heed got himself a little friend. Bringing an ordinary guy who's not a racer to the tracks, this loser must have a lot of guts.""Excuse me, we were just having a fun ride on the tracks, can you guys move your cars aside so we can pass through?" Peter asked politely as he walked up to them.The red haired guy exchanged a glance with the shorter guy as if seeing the same joke in each other'
Walter quickly grabbed Peter stopping him from entering the passenger's seat of his car."Why did you do that Peter? The automotive city is all I have, and I'm going to lose it to these guys if I take that race.""Don't worry Walter, those guys are just street racers, you were a professional number one racer of ACR, for three good years you held a straight winning streak, no one could defeat you." Peter patted his shoulder reassuringly, "I'm sure you can still do this."Walter looked unconvinced, "That was in the past, I could defeat other racers but not these guys. Please let's just get out of here and renege the bet you placed, I can't afford to lose everything." Peter glanced at him in bewilderment, "What happened back then Walter?"He seemed to still be afraid of something that had happened before in the past.Walter's expression changed, he seemed to have recalled something frightening, his face turned pale and he gripped his key card tightly."Yo loser! Get your ass here!" Jaso
"I already told you Peter, I'm not as good as I used to be." Walter muttered in a low voice with his eyes looking downcast.Leo and Jason jumped out of their cars with a celebratory whoop they high-fived before setting their eyes on Walter's car.Walter glanced at his car's interior hesitantly, "Since I have to give my automotive city to them too, perhaps this is the last time I'll get to sit in a nice sport's car." Regardless, Walter shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Thank you for believing in me Peter, I guess now I've proven to myself that those guys are undefeatable and I'm not as good at racing as I had once thought.""No need to look so guilty, it was my lack of abilities that caused this loss. I'll take my loss as a means to reflect and grow myself better in the future, I love racing, it's my passion, but I was never the best, and maybe, I never will be."Saying that Walter stepped down from his car and began to approach the guys.Jason crossed his arms smugly waiting for W
Walter swung his head towards Peter, his eyes bulging.Peter's eyes were narrowed and fixed onto the road, he seemed to have become one with the car.Leo and Jason who had already driven ahead were soon shocked to see the bright yellow car suddenly zoom past them far up in the front.Jason's jaw dropped, his smug eyes staring at the car that disappeared in a daze."Fuck!" He cursed and stepped on the accelerator. His Ferrari seemed to gain up, the whole tracks were filled with the harsh sounds of racing engines.Jason smirked as he was about to take over Peter, however in a perfectly skilled maneuver, Peter made the tires swirl, Jason had no choice but to shift aside, that one move almost made him get pushed off the tracks.He had to slow down.When he looked up, the yellow Lamborghini had already left him behind. He couldn't believe what just happened. How could someone be able to make such a skilled move in a few seconds and still be able to surpass him that fast.The yellow car s
Walter felt like he had been dunked in boiling water one second then dunked into a bucket of ice in the next. His face was pale as he stared up at Peter."You...you..." Words seemed to have eluded him.Peter jumped out of the car to walk up to the Ferrari he had just raced against. As for Leo he had never even stood a chance in this race.Jason had only gotten a chance due to his second engine which was usually his trump card In very difficult racing games.He would never have expected himself to lose to someone he saw as a rookie.Getting out of his car his eyes were red as he scowled, "Heed you bastard! You set me up, I should have known you would find an expert racer to make friends with." Jason felt so angry he wanted to stomp his feet against the floor. But seeing the firm look in Peter's eyes all his anger seemed to have remained stuck in his throat."Jason did you see what he did just now? He not only knew speed and control, but he was also able to control a perfect bend. This
After Peter received the invitation to the city's underground racing spot from Leo and Jason, he left with Walter.He stopped when he noticed Walter staring at him strangely."What is it?"Walter suddenly did a small bow, "Master, your skills are incomparable, please take me as your student." Peter was taken back, he stood still for a few seconds unable to speak.Walter still remained in a bowing position, Peter smiled and shook his head. "I'm no master, I'm just slightly good with cars."Walter swung his head up with eyes widened, "Slightly?" He gaped, "I have never seen anyone drive like that!" Peter lowered his head.It was all the system's doing, it was capable of giving him incomparable skills.Peter looked down at his own hands.Did this mean there was a lot more he could do?He could still be capable of doing so many great things? "Please teach me! I promise I'll be a very obedient student." Walter suddenly asked making Peter almost choke on his saliva.But he also wasn't a
