A Crook?

Lin Chenluo froze for a moment, then, without hesitation, handed over Blizzard's key!

"No problem! A bet is a bet! You really are amazing! The extraction code is 7777."

Lin Chenluo's eyes gleamed as though he were a miser who had spotted treasure. He stared fixedly at Ronan, his face full of pleading. "Young Master Ronan! I apologize! My attitude earlier was indeed a little wrong, but I really, really love racing... Can you teach me?"

Ronan weighed Blizzard's key in his hand and glanced at Lin Chenluo.

The guy's face no longer bore even a trace of his former arrogance, leaving only hunger and fervor.

He really was a car fanatic.

Though he had picked up quite a few obnoxious noble habits, this gesture still changed Ronan's opinion of him considerably. At the very least, he was not as childish as Su Jie. When faced with a true expert, he could immediately adjust his mindset, lower his head, and abandon his pointless pride.

That was what was truly rare.

With that thought, Ronan hesitated for a moment before finally saying:

"There's no secret to racing... The only thing I can tell you is to train your reflexes."

The next second, he ignored Lin Chenluo and walked alone toward the five supercars.

Everyone else let out a long breath.

They had originally thought Lin Chenluo and Ronan would clash. They had not expected the Young Master Lin, this car fanatic, to see a true master and immediately change his arrogant attitude, even going so far as to ask Ronan for guidance.

But Ronan's answer... was truly infuriating.

What did he mean by "train your reflexes"?!

Could reflexes really be trained so casually?

Everyone could not help mocking him inwardly.

Lin Chenluo, however, wore a thoughtful expression.

Yet in the few minutes he spent thinking, everyone watched Ronan climb into one supercar after another, then remove every single Primal Stone!

His actions left everyone dumbfounded!

What was Young Master Ronan trying to do now?

Before anyone could react, Ronan, already holding five S-rank Primal Stones, called out to the group of five nobles, including Lin Chenluo:

"Hey!"

Lin Chenluo froze for a moment, then immediately went over. The other four exchanged looks, smiled bitterly, and followed him.

What exactly was this guy planning?

The spectators were all intensely curious. He had directly removed the Primal Stones—was he trying to humiliate these noble heirs? Even if you were from Yi Lin Manor and could drive well, you could not treat people like this!

Who would have thought that Ronan would speak unhurriedly the next moment?

"Actually, I'm not that interested in your cars either."

"You guys probably don't look too good after losing your cars, right?"

"So... how much are you planning to pay to buy these cars back?"

The moment those words were spoken, the entire place fell silent!

Even Wei Wei and Wang Xiaoman revealed looks of disbelief!

Hey! Did he have no shame at all?! He had already removed their Primal Stones, and he still wanted to sell the supercars back to them? High-quality Primal Stones alone accounted for nearly one-third of a supercar's value!

"This Young Master Ronan not only drives incredibly well... he's also a crooked businessman!"

One of the noble heirs watching could not help muttering.

This was difficult.

The nobles who had lost their cars truly had no face left. If they could buy their cars back, that would naturally be an acceptable outcome. But the problem was that Ronan had removed the Primal Stones, then done this. To outsiders, it carried a hint of humiliation.

Only Ronan himself had not realized that.

He had come purely for the Primal Stones. As for the five supercars, he had no channels to deal with them. After thinking it over, he decided it would be better to sell them back to their original owners.

As for the price, he had no idea, which was why he had said what he did.

But after he finished speaking and carefully examined everyone's expressions—especially Wei Wei's and Wang Xiaoman's—Ronan instantly understood something and felt a little embarrassed.

Still, he really was short on money, so he could only swallow his pride and look at Lin Chenluo and the others.

The other four frowned deeply. In their eyes, this was already a grave insult.

What value did a supercar have without its Primal Stone?

Was this Young Master Ronan simply toying with them?

One of them could not contain his anger and was just about to say something when the previously silent Lin Chenluo suddenly spread his hands.

"At the original price!"

"I, Lin Chenluo, will buy back all five supercars myself, at their original price."

Pfft!

This time, some of the spectators who were drinking water choked on the spot, their faces looking as though they had seen a ghost!

—What kind of plot was this?

A crooked businessman from Yi Lin Manor? A sucker disguised as the Young Master Lin?

Only those who knew Lin Chenluo understood what he was thinking at that moment.

A trace of surprise appeared in Wei Wei's eyes. Lin Chenluo really is a car fanatic. He's actually willing to pay such a price just to please Ronan.

Just as everyone thought the deal was about to go through, Ronan suddenly shook his head.

"No."

"That's too expensive. It's not appropriate."

Lin Chenluo's face broke into a smile. "It's fine, it's fine. As long as you teach me one or two more racing tricks."

Ronan said seriously, "I can't let you lose out."

Lin Chenluo waved his hand generously. "It's fine. I can afford this little bit of money."

Ronan remained insistent. "I've already taken all the Primal Stones. The original price definitely won't do. You should name a fair price instead. As for driving, I'm not actually that skilled."

Lin Chenluo remained equally insistent. "It's fine! I've already decided. From today onward, you're my master!"

"Consider the price difference my tuition fee."

Ronan shook his head. "It's not appropriate."

Lin Chenluo said solemnly, "It's perfectly appropriate!"

Everyone on the lawn was completely speechless.

They could not understand tonight's events no matter how they looked at them.

Everything had originally been normal, but once Ronan drove that Mini Dragon to the mountaintop, everything began to change course. First, Wei Wei's public confession caused an uproar. Then Ronan displayed shocking racing skills and broke Azure Dragon Car God's record. And now, this exchange between Ronan and the Young Master Lin was even more exasperating.

The seller thought the price was too high, while the buyer thought it was not high at all. The two kept arguing, unable to close the deal no matter what.

There was actually such a thing in this world?

Perhaps only a monster like Ronan and a car fanatic like Lin Chenluo could put on such a scene when paired together!

Ronan thought it was too expensive, while Lin Chenluo thought it was not expensive. If Wei Wei had not stepped in, this tug-of-war might have continued indefinitely.

In the end, the little witch grew impatient from watching and directly named a relatively fair market price, settling the matter once and for all.

After thinking it over, Ronan decided to accept.

Selling five supercars that had lost their Primal Stones for one million Eagle Horn was probably fairly reasonable.

Lin Chenluo did not insist further, and the two sides completed the transaction on the spot.

Under Lin Chenluo's relentless pestering, Ronan felt too embarrassed to refuse and could only give him his phone number.

Being pestered by a man for his phone number made Ronan feel rather strange.

At the same time, the organizer of the underground racing event, the guy named Crow, also gave Ronan a business card.

This sharp-nosed fellow seemed to have noticed that Ronan was somewhat short on money. Though he could not understand why a young master from Yi Lin Manor would care so much about money, he had a keen eye. Ronan was definitely an unfathomable monster. As long as Ronan still needed money, this business card would sooner or later come in handy.

As for Ronan, earning five S-rank Primal Stones and one million Eagle Horn tonight was already an enormous surprise to him. It was also the first fortune he had earned in this world.

Of course, he had absolutely no interest in becoming Lin Chenluo's master. Wei Wei's confession was also giving him a massive headache.

So after completing the transaction, he hurriedly left with Wei Wei and Wang Xiaoman.

By the time they returned to Bo Ning Academy, it was already late at night.

The three of them rode in Wang Xiaoman's Mini Dragon. As for the Rose Sword, Lin Chenluo would send someone to drive it over and return it to Wei Wei, so there was no need to worry about that.

No one spoke during the ride.

Neither Ronan nor Wang Xiaoman was good with words, while Wei Wei, the only one with a decent tongue, had fallen unusually silent.

Ronan did not know what she was plotting, but this was exactly the situation he wanted.

After sending the two noble ladies back to their dormitory, Ronan finally felt liberated and hurried back to his own room.

His roommate seemed to have fallen asleep long ago, but Ronan did not mind.

He closed the door and activated Noah again.

"Five S-rank Primal Stones. What kind of surprise can you bring me?"

Ronan narrowed his eyes slightly. On the pale green screen projected by the Pocket Watch, complex three-dimensional structures and obscure blueprints appeared one after another.

Noah's smug voice came through:

"Yo? Did you rob a bank? You made quite a haul in one night..."

"Hurry up and give me that energy!"

"I can finally operate normally for a while!"

Everyone can guess what the blueprints are! Today's update was a little late, but don't forget to vote with your recommendations!
