The nosy guys cheered delightfully and hopped into the car, but since they only had two cars there, the rest had to take a taxi to Hyatt Hotel. 4
Charlie got into the BMW 760. Claire sat in the front passenger seat while Mrs. Lewis, Stephanie, and Harvey sat in the back. 5
Charlie said after starting the car, "Guys, sit tight.
Later when I reach the straight road ahead, I can win the race with just a step on the accelerator."
Then, he looked at Mrs. Lewis and said, "Mrs. Lewis, please hold on to the handrails. Once I accelerate, I will win a Mercedes-Benz for the orphanage! You can sell it for three hundred thousand dollars, then use the money to buy toys and books for the children!" 9
Mrs. Lewis nodded with a gentle smile. "I thank you o n behalf of our children!" 2
Meanwhile, five people were inside Max's car, all of whom were his lackeys. 6
Max drove and stopped beside Charlie's car, wound down the window, and said with a smirk, "Hey, buddy, whenever you're ready, man! I’ll give you a three-second head-start.”
Charlie said humbly, "Oh, please don't, we're friends. I don't need a head-start, let’s go together.”
"Haha!" The five people in the Mercedes-Benz laughed out loud. Max said, "Charlie, you are very interesting, d o you know that? If so, on my mark, okay?”
Charlie nodded. "Alright, go ahead."
Max laughed and said, "On my mark, one, two, three, g o!"
Max stomped on the accelerator and sped off.
Charlie intentionally went a second later than him, then, he too stepped on the accelerator, and his BMW 760 sped off like an arrow shooting from a bow. It only took him a second to overtake Max and leave him far behind.
