Richard had been bullying Johnson and Emma for a long time, so it was time for Thomas to help his father-in-law and wife to take back some “interest”.
Richard said, “The invitation fee of $10,000,000 will all be yours. I will also pay you another $10,000,000.”
“And?”
“And? You can get $20,000,000 from a race. What else do you still feel unhappy about?”
Thomas smiled. “Although $20,000,000 is a lot, it’s just some ‘dead money’, and it’ll be used up someday.”
Richard’s expression changed. He knew what Thomas wanted. He hesitated for a while.
Then, favonovel.com nodded. “Okay. As long as you can win in the race, I’ll give 5% of the main company’s shares to Emma. As long as the Hill family still exists, all of you won’t starve.”
Everyone was stunned.
Five percent of the Hill family’s shares was definitely an incredible promise. Emma had been suppressed because favonovel.com never had the right to speak With 5% of the shares, favonovel.com had the power to voice favonovel.com opinions at least.
Right then, Thomas happily said, “Okay! Please call Cobra. We’ll meet at Hairpin Road on Long Mountain at 8.00 pm tonight.”
Richard was stunned.
“Huh, 8.00 pm? Won’t that be too late?”
Thomas flashed a smile. “There are fewer cars at night, so it’ll be safer. Otherwise, why did I take such a long nap?”
Richard asked again, “But the location is not suitable. Hairpin Road has too many winding lanes. It’s extremely dangerous. Do you have the confidence? Why don’t you choose a flatter road?”
Thomas chuckled. “Grandpa, you do know that the opponent is a professional racecar driver, right? Their cars are specially customized. On a straight road, our car won’t be on par with theirs because our car doesn’t have enough horsepower. So, we won’t be able to win even after we step on the accelerator. If we want to win, we have to rely on the hairpins. The biggest weakness of professional racecar drivers is that they put too much strength into turning the car on a winding road. So, that’s the only way to defeat them.”
Richard looked at the rest, and everyone else did not have much response.
The people in the house knew nothing about car racing. They could only listen to whatever Thomas said.
“All right, we’ll follow your plan. Harvard, make the call!”
Harvard immediately called Cobra and confirmed the time as well as the venue.
Everything was ready. The time passed by quickly, and the sky soon became dark very.
***
8.00 pm, Hairpin Road.
On the road, a big group of teens, who were fashionably dressed, were surrounded and watched. At the same time, many media reporters arrived.
The gimmick of the race between the people’s Race Legend and the ace driver was attractive.
A silvery-white GTR slowly made its way there. As soon as it showed up, a large group of fans screamed. Cobra, the legendary racecar driver who had never lost since favonovel.com debuted, was the only “Race Legend” to his fans!
A while later, a Porsche slowly arrived at the venue, and it made another bunch of fans scream. These were the fans of the Race Legend who did not understand what was going on.
Cobra looked at the Porsche that was approaching, and favonovel.com sneered. Even professional racecar drivers were not his opponent, so Why would favonovel.com lose to such a normal sedan?
A group of people got out of the Porsche, and Thomas was one of them.
At this time, everyone walked separately, and Harvard walked to Cobra. He extended his arm and said, “Hello, Mr. Cobra.”
Cobra shook hands with him. “Race Legend, let me see your incredible car racing skills tonight.”
Harvard shook his head. “I’m sorry, I’m not the person who will be racing you tonight. It’s…”
He turned and pointed at Thomas. “It’s him. He’ll be competing with you!”
