Clinton couldn't hold back his thrill when he heard the term of their bet.
His car was the 540 model while Charlie's was the 520. The loser could not possibly win even if he tried. 1
He was impressed by Charlie's audacity to make such a big bet with him!
His car would be a total waste when the three-meter fireworks were ignited in his car. Everything-the interior, seats, and dashboard-would be ruined in an instant. 4
Charlie was digging his own grave, so he might as well give him a good push!
Clinton nodded without hesitation and shouted, "Guys, you'll be our witnesses! We’ll race to see whose car is faster. Whoever loses, put the fireworks inside his car and ignite it!" 4
Then, he added, "If anyone dares to violate the bet, his whole family will die!" i
The guys standing at the side of the road cheered loudly. The rest of the classmates who were inside the restaurant rushed out after hearing what was going o n. About twenty to thirty people gathered around the door, waiting for the race to start.
Everyone thought Charlie was such a fool. How dare h
e challenge his 520 with Clinton's 540? It was a straight road and didn’t have anything to do with skills to win the race-rather, it depended entirely on the performance and engine power of the car. 1
Even if Schumacher drove the 520, it was impossible for him to overtake the 540!
Unfortunately for Charlie, his brand new BMW 520 would soon be declared total loss! 1
Claire tried to stop Charlie as well. "Charlie, he did it o n purpose. Don't be agitated by him, let's not race." 1
Charlie plastered a warm smile on his face. "Don't worry, my dear, your husband will never lose.” 1
Clinton laughed out loud. "Oh wow, Charlie, I admire your courage! Hahaha! Let's stop the crap and just start our race already!” 1
"Okay.” Charlie nodded. "How do you want to start?”
Clinton pointed to the intersection at the end of the road and said in a cocky voice, "We'll start at the same time, go towards the end of the road then turn around. Whoever crosses the line first wins. What do you say?"
Charlie smiled confidently. "No problem!"
"Alright!" Clinton shrieked excitedly, "Guys, be our witness! Let the race begin!"
He got into his BMW 540 and drove onto the road.
