Lucas immediately got into the car, started the engine, and drove to the repair shop recommended by Lora according to her directions. They finally arrived at the repair shop.Lucas glanced at Lora. Lora understood the man's gaze and nodded her head. "Just get in."Lucas drove the car into the large workshop. There were three people there who were mechanics. At first, the three 30-year-old men frowned at the car's arrival, but their faces instantly changed when they saw the woman inside."Lora." One of the men called out Lora's name excitedly, followed by the other two men, who seemed to welcome her."Wait!" Barley, the workshop owner, raised both hands when he saw Lora open the door.The man in the blue jumpsuit rushed to one corner of the room and picked up a large plastic bowl, then threw small pieces of paper at Lora as she got out of the car as if she was sprinkling flowers on a princess who had just gotten off a carriage."Welcome back here, Princess Lora. The belle of the ball."
Lucas was already inside the center of the game. He saw that there were many games available there. Lora again pulled his hand towards one of the arcade game machines."Come on, let's play this." Lora reached into her pocket and took out a card like a credit card specializing in game zones. "Thankfully, I always carry this card wherever I go." She smiled happily, then swiped the card into the arcade machine. "You can play this, right?"Lora raised one eyebrow with a challenging look, then pressed the start button on the machine. Suddenly, it made him immediately get ready with the navigation and buttons on the Dingdong machine. Lucas looked at Lora, who gave the code to start the game immediately. Feeling a little challenged, Lucas immediately played the game with Lora on the same machine.Both of them excitedly pressed the machine's buttons. They fight each other with the heroes in the game until finally, the game ends with Lucas coming out as the winner."Ow, good. You beat me, but
They both looked at the newly arrived man, and it was Rudolf. He was one of their friends in college. However, Lucas doesn't recognise him at all and ignores the man. He wasn't even bothered in the slightest despite being pushed by Rudolf. Lucas simply brushed Rudolf's hand away from him.Rudolf looked at the hand that had just been swatted away. He smiled a little, showing his arrogant face, which looked annoying and made Lora feel sick of meeting that man."Bully," Lora muttered, rolling her eyes lazily. She held Lucas' hand, intending to take him away from there.However, Rudolf seemed to know Lora's intentions. The man smiled, grabbed Lora's hand, and let her down from Lucas's hand, making the three of them look at each other with uncomfortable looks."Where are you going?" Rudolf looked at Lora with a faint grin. "Just a moment, I want to talk to you." He stood in front of Lucas haughtily as he took in the face of the man before him and rubbed his chin. "Ah, aren't you the one wh
"Wow, you scored 960 points, almost perfect." Lora looked at Lucas in awe."Wow, really?" One of the patrons playing on the dance machine immediately glanced at Lucas and got off the dance machine, peering at the score on the boxing machine board. "Wow, that's right. He reached 960 points."Of course, Lora was even more amazed. The woman's eyes even lit up, looking at the point scoreboard. "I didn't expect you to reach such high points." Lora opened her mouth, showing her admiration. "So far, no one has ever reached more than 800 points. Wow, that's amazing."Some of the other visitors were amazed, staring at Lucas in disbelief. They were all shocked, whispering about Lucas. The teenagers who frequented the store gathered at once, abandoning the games they were playing to satisfy their curiosity about seeing the boxing machine scoreboard."Wow, that's a lot of points." One of the teenagers clapped his hands with his mouth open in admiration. "The last one who played the boxing machine
Rudolf chuckled at Lucas' words. He raised his hand. "You're so insolent." He clucked in annoyance. "I've given you my heart, but you say things like that." Rudolf raised his eyebrows. "You know what? This watch is a Lorex watch. It was costly, over twenty thousand dollars. How could you ask me for my watch for a stupid bet like this? Of course, it's not worth it, you idiot!"Rudolf grumbled unhappily at Lucas' request. He thought Lucas was deliberately using him for more money and watched in this luxury. He felt that Lucas might sell it at a high price for his benefit, knowing that it was costly, and of course, he wouldn't want to do that to show how strong he was in front of Lora. This felt utterly unequal."Ah, I see." Rudolf ruffled his waist with his head raised haughtily. "You're brilliant, huh, especially good at taking chances. You wanted my fancy watch because you couldn't afford it, right? So you took advantage of this situation to get it. What a cunning mind you have, Lucas
Lucas approached the boxing machine, standing beside Rudolf but not too close to the man. Meanwhile, Lora could only exhale and join behind them to watch the bet.Rudolf grinned at Lucas. He proudly and confidently held the punching bag. "I warned you that you'd be on your own."Lucas still looked calm, not bothered by what Rudolf said. He was only focused on strengthening his fists for when it was his turn after Rudolf.Rudolf was feeling cocky and was very confident that he would win this bet. He glanced at Lora. "You're the witness, huh."Lora snorted in annoyance as she turned her face away, looking disgusted. She was not excited about this bet because if Rudolf managed to win the bet, Lucas would be in trouble.Lora folded her arms in front of her chest. "Let's not talk too much and start immediately if that's what you want."Rudolf chuckled at the woman's words. "Ah, you seem to be looking forward to the outcome of this bet, huh?" He raised one eyebrow, looking at Lora eagerly.
Rudolf came out of the game center, grumbling in annoyance. He kicked the wind to express his frustration at Lucas. "Damn it. I have to find a way to get away from this." He squeezed his hands tightly. "He could have told the voice recording to someone else. Damn it, I can't let that happen."Rudolf rubbed his face roughly, wondering how he could do it because he didn't want to be Lucas' slave. In his head, he kept spinning images of his friends mocking him, and didn't want that to happen in his life.He looked very uneasy thinking about it. Beautiful, he breathed and tried to calm down, thinking first.Rudolf exhaled slowly through his mouth while raising and lowering his hands, regulating his breathing and regaining control of his brain calmly.His eyes opened wide. "Ah, yes, I should retrieve the footage." Rudolf rubbed his chin as he thought of something in his head. "Just take a look." He raised one eyebrow with a slight smirk. "I won't let you win, Lucas."Rudolf devised a plan
"Wh-what?" Barley stuttered as he heard Lucas' words.The curly-haired man wondered how Lucas could ask him to tell him the original price of the car repair when Lora had just told him to give a lower price and for him, $1,000 was already the cheapest repair price.However, Barley had initially thought that Lucas was shameless for asking for a discount on the car repair price, which was much cheaper than the earlier price."Ah, Lucas." Lora approached Lucas with a puzzled face. "Why are you saying that? Didn't he say that the repair price was 1000 dollars? And... that's the real price. It's probably much cheaper than that."Barley immediately shot a sharp glance at Lora, which the woman returned even sharper. Now, they were looking at each other sharply as if communicating through gaze. Lora cursed Barley in her heart, as did the curly-haired man, who was annoyed that 1000 dollars was more than enough to bring down the high price of repairs."Yes, he's right." Barley pointed at Lora.
