Sebastian stepped on the accelerator forcefully as soon as Nathan's car drove out of the car park.
His car came crashing with Nathan's Hongqi with a clang!
Nathan's car was an official state car specifically made for chief officers. It was a bulletproof car that could stand up to the bombardment of artillery and landmines.
The front bumper of Sebastian's Porsche squashed after it came into collision with Nathan's car.
In no time, all four of them — Nathan, Penny, Sebastian and Freya stepped out of their cars.
"Hey, dude! Do you know how to drive properly?" Sebastian was playing the victim.
"Penny Smith, does your husband know how to drive a car? I bet he's drunk... Drunk driving! You better take full responsibility for the accident!" Freya followed suit in making accusations.
Nathan narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "I need to clarify two things. Firstly, I didn't consume any alcohol during the meal. Secondly, your car is at fault for crashing into our way."
"We're all friends here. There's no need to have a row on this." Since they were all acquaintances, Penny tried to introduce a note of levity and suggested, "I will pay for your car repair. What do you think?"
Sebastian sneered, "My car is a Porsche, and the repairs are expensive. A million! Give me a million, and I'll let you off."
"But your Porsche 718 only costs a few hundred thousand, doesn't it?" Penny widened her eyes, feeling perplexed.
"I've done a lot of modifications to my car. Its value definitely far exceeds one million." Sebastian snorted and continued, "This car is ruined, so I need to buy a new one. Don't you think it's a shame for someone of my status to drive a car that has been involved in an accident?"
Sebastian and Freya had made a bad impression on Nathan since they had first met. Now that Penny had made a small concession, those two were still trying to take her for a ride.
Nathan's face turned dark, and he said coldly, "Honey, this is not our responsibility. We will only compensate for the losses we have caused. Not a penny more, not a penny less."
"Fine! I'll call the police then. I hope you won't regret it." Sebastian flashed a cold smile.
Sebastian then made a call to Larry Hamilton, the director of the police traffic department. "Director Hamilton, someone has crashed into my car, and they're unwilling to pay for the damages. I need you to come over and help me settle this.”
