Chapter 142 - 142: Young Master Liu

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Zhou Chao saw a stylish sports car zooming towards him. The speed of the sports car was impressive, heading directly to the parking area without slowing down. Then, it executed a fantastic power slide, skillfully parking the car in the open space.

“Wow, that’s incredible!” exclaimed a group of internet-famous beauties as they watched the sports car in amazement.

Qin Fen, looking at this scene, couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise in his eyes, though it quickly vanished.

“Quite showy,” Zhou Chao muttered to himself, shaking his head in silent disapproval.

To ordinary onlookers, the maneuvers of the sports car seemed graceful and fluid, but to Zhou Chao, who possessed the skills of a racing god, it was merely a show of flair to attract attention. Furthermore, in his eyes, the execution of the stunt wasn’t flawless.

Of course, from the perspective of most people, the performance was already quite impressive. Zhou Chao assessed that the driver’s skills had surpassed the level of an amateur, reaching that of a professional, though just barely.

Nevertheless, the car itself was quite impressive. It was a black Koenigsegg CCXR.

Although the Koenigsegg CCXR couldn’t compare to his Hennessy Venom GT in Zhou Chao’s eyes, it was still considered a world-class top-tier supercar.

The Koenigsegg CCXR was powered by a supercharged LS9 6.2L V8 engine from the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. Despite its lightweight construction at only 1,180 kilograms, it could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in under 2.9 seconds and had a top speed exceeding 4.00 kilometers per hour, though it still fell short of his Hennessy Venom GT’s speed.

The Koenigsegg CCXR was not a cheap car, with a price close to 50 million yuan, and it was a limited production vehicle with only 66 units sold worldwide.

The car door opened, and a young man in a white windbreaker stepped out of the Koenigsegg. He exuded an air of arrogance from head to toe as if he looked down on everyone.

“Pretentious,” muttered Qin Fen quietly next to Zhou Chao. Zhou Chao couldn’t help but raise the corner of his mouth at his words.

Qin Lang and his group, upon witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but roll their eyes.

At the same time, the young man from the other side also noticed Qin Fen’s group and looked in their direction. His gaze shifted to the Hennessy Venom GT parked behind them, and his eyes gleamed with a hint of greed like a hunter locking onto prey.

The young man’s gaze made Zhou Chao slightly uncomfortable, causing his brows to furrow.

“Young Master Qin, sorry for the delay. I got caught in traffic!” Qin Fen looked at the young man, who was smiling mischievously, with a slight smirk on his lips.

“Oh, 1 thought maybe Mr. Liu got lost on the way, so it was due to traffic.”

“Qin Fen, is this car behind you yours? It doesn’t look like it!”

“What’s the matter, jealous? Stop the nonsense. What’s your intention here? If it’s racing you’re after, let’s race. I didn’t come here to watch you, Young Master Liu, show off.” Qin Fen didn’t give him a friendly look, and he wasn’t being insincere.

“It’s nothing. I just thought it’s quite rare to see this car in China. Is this the only Hennessy Venom GT in the country? And who is this gentleman, your friend? Don’t you want to introduce him?” Young Master Liu turned his gaze towards Zhou Chao, and they stared at each other.

Qin Fen knew Young Master Liu quite well and could guess what he was thinking. However, he also knew that Zhou Chao wasn’t afraid of Young Master Liu, even if Young Master Liu’s father were to show up. Zhou Chao could face him with confidence.

“Mr. Liu, it’s wise to maintain a low profile when you’re out and about. If you unintentionally offend someone you shouldn’t, it can lead to trouble, even for someone like your father.” Qin Fen’s advice seemed to have caught Young Master Liu’s attention, and there was a hint of unease in his gaze as he glanced at Zhou Chao.

He had complete confidence in Qin Fen’s words. After all, their social status was well-known, and there was no reason for anyone to fabricate stories to intimidate others. Such actions would only be seen as ridiculous, especially within their social circle, where reputation held significant value.

Though he and Qin Fen held similar positions in their circle, nobody wanted to needlessly offend others.

In their social circle, there was an unwritten rule that disputes among the younger generation should be resolved by themselves without their families’ interference. Most of them knew each other, and even if they had conflicts, they were usually minor and didn’t escalate into major confrontations.

“Hello, Liu Xu,” Zhou Chao greeted him without intentionally embarrassing him.

“Hello, Zhou Chao.” Upon hearing Zhou Chao’s name, he pondered over which wealthy family he belonged to, quickly recalling various names in his mind but finding no match.

“So, you’re Young Master Zhou. You appear a bit unfamiliar to me. I’m curious about your family background…” Liu Xu expressed his curiosity, especially noting Zhou Chao’s prominent position at the front of the group, along with Qin Fen’s demeanor, which hinted at Zhou Chao’s significance.

“Me? My family is just an ordinary one. I run a small company myself.”

However, Zhou Chao’s words left everyone present incredulous. Could an ordinary family afford a Hennessy Venom GT? No one would believe it no matter who said it.

“Hehe, I didn’t expect Young Master Zhou to be quite humorous!” Seeing that he didn’t get the answer he wanted, Liu Xu wasn’t upset and maintained a cheerful expression.

“By the way, I wonder if Young Master Zhou has any intention to part with this Hennessy Venom GT. I’ve always enjoyed collecting various supercars, and it’s a rare sight to see a limited edition like this. 1 really like it. Would Young Master Zhou consider selling it? I’m willing to offer 60 million yuan. If you think the price is low, you can name your own!”

Liu Xuxu was known in their circle for his passion for collecting supercars. However, top-tier supercars weren’t easy to come by, especially limited editions like this one, with only ten units worldwide.

Although his Koenigsegg CCXR was priced similarly to Zhou Chao’s Hennessy Venom GT, the key difference was that Zhou Chao’s was limited to only 10 units worldwide, whereas his Koenigsegg was one of 66 units produced. This distinction was quite significant.

“I apologize, Young Master Liu, but 1 must disappoint you. This car is a personal custom build and unique among its kind. Furthermore, 1 have no intention of selling it. 1 have a deep passion for these supercars, and this one holds a special place in my heart. Additionally, I’m not in need of money, so I hope you understand,” Zhou Chao replied while shaking his head.

His Hennessy Venom GT was custom-made, and its price exceeded the original by a considerable margin. He hadn’t even had the chance to experience the thrill of racing on a track yet. Unless he suddenly lost his mind, there was no way he would part with it.

Liu Xu didn’t press the matter further and instead shifted his gaze to Qin Fen.

“Qin Fen, where is your guy? You’re not going to compete with me personally, are you?” Liu Xu looked at Qin Fen with a playful expression. He knew that his racing skills far exceeded Qin Fen’s.

“Hehe, you might be in for a surprise. I’m not the one racing against you; it’s him!” Qin Fen glanced at Zhou Chao beside him and revealed his plan.

“Does Zhou Chao have impressive racing skills too? I’m getting quite excited now!” Liu Xu’s eyes sparkled as if he had an idea.

“Alright, it’s getting late. Let’s begin!” Zhou Chao didn’t waste any time and was ready to start the race.

“Wait!”
