Chapter 1937
Chapter 1937: Can We Be Friends?”
“They definitely asked about Lord Charles. I thought if they were genuinely friends, they ought to know how to get in touch with him and shouldn’t have to find him by asking us. I have a feeling they are in fact looking to make trouble for him,” said Renzo.
“Then what happened?” asked Chas Cretan excitedly.
“I don’t know Lord Charles’ whereabouts either, but I told them he might be attending the off-road race at Mount XX tomorrow. If they went over, they might be able to see him there. They also asked me where the Cretan residence was. I told them about it, and also reminded them it was not easy to enter. I was worried they might drop dead before they managed to find Lord Charles and make trouble for him,” said Renzo. “I really hope they steer clear of trouble and find Lord Charles and do whatever it is they want to do to him.”
The location of the family compound was no secret. Since plenty of people knew where it was, there was no sense in keeping it a secret. Even if they told them about it, they might not be able to get in.
He really hoped that they could find Charles Cretan to kill him and get rid of him since he was a major obstacle for Chas Cretan.
“Great. Well done.” Chas Cretan felt even happier. He had a feeling that Charles Cretan would participate in the off-road race as well. He genuinely hoped that he would show up there.
Judging from the incidents that transpired tonight, the man and woman were incredible fighters. If they had a vendetta against Charles Cretan, Chas Cretan really hoped they would succeed.
Most people might feel he was too cruel to wish death upon his own brother. Chas and Charles Cretan were certainly brothers, but they were half-brothers. They were not close and even bore grudges against each other.
Firstly, Charles Cretan’s mother had something to do with the death of Chas Cretan’s mother. Even though his stepmother did not directly kill his mother, she was the reason his mother got into a fight with his father and left home and ended up getting into a traffic accident.
Secondly, Charles Cretan never treated Chas Cretan as his older brother. Instead, he treated Chas Cretan like his mortal enemy and could not wait for him to die. He often went about sabotaging Chas Cretan in secret. However, despite Chas Cretan falling for his traps, Charles Cretan failed to gain anything in the process and often ended up worse.
Their father wanted Charles Cretan to become the next family head, but their grandfather wanted Chas Cretan as the leader, so they recently got into a lot of conflicts because of this.
Both of them wanted the other dead, but were incapable of doing it themselves. If word got out that they were involved in fratricide, they would lose the right to inherit the family.
However, it was a completely different matter if an outsider killed them. They were from the underworld, so they had a lot of enemies.
Now that someone wanted to seek revenge on Charles Cretan, Chas Cretan ecstatic!
…
The next day after breakfast, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting headed to Mount XX to see the race.
Since the race was organized by a racetrack, marketing was done online. After Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting checked into the hotel last night, they went online and did some research.
Mount XX was located in the suburbs and the race was to take place on a winding mountain path. The circuit was built in between two mountain peaks especially for racing, so both the starting and ending lines were at the foot of the mountain and there were no other paths on the circuit.
The circuit was roughly 9.8 kilometers long and consisted of 79 turns. Of which, nine turns were particularly dangerous. Accidents could happen anytime and many racers had gotten stuck there.
Although Mount XX was not very high, the circuit was a thrilling drive. It was one of the top five most dangerous mountain circuits in the country.
A lot of racers visited Mount XX to try the circuit. They hailed from City Wei and even abroad.
Most race tracks had similar policies. Before any racers could use the circuit, they had to sign an indemnity agreement. If any accidents occurred on the circuit, the racetrack could not be held liable unless it was under their purview.
This meant if something went wrong with the roads, railings, or if objects fell from the mountain, the racetrack wouldn’t be held accountable if the racers got into an accident.
The race was scheduled for 10:00 am and it was a one hour ride from the city, so Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting left the hotel at 8:20 am and arrived at Mount XX at around 9:20 am.
Even though it was still 40 minutes before the race started, over 500 people had gathered at the foot of the mountain. Also, more people were bound to arrive before the race started.
The large car park was filled with over a hundred posh race cars and the sight was simply grand.
Anyone who had a race car came from a rich family since an average race car started at tens of millions of Euros. The race cars used for this magnificent event were even more expensive.
The car park was split into two zones. The first zone was intended for the parking of regular cars while the second area was saved for race cars participating in the race.
Although there were not as many private cars as there were race cars, it was a decent number. Not everyone who came was there to race. Many of them just came to check it out.
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting rented a car from the hotel. Even though it was their first time to City Wei, thanks to technology, they used the GPS to find their way there without getting lost.
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting changed their appearance and were not as beautiful or handsome, however, they still remained relatively good-looking.
Also, a lot of people looked at them when they arrived at the parking lot because they were Asians.
Gu Ning was mature, cool, and seductive, while Leng Shaoting looked mature, worldly-wise, and manly.
Both of them were considered good-looking by Country Y standards, so a lot of guys looked at Gu Ning in admiration while the women looked at her in envy.
Even though the men did not look at Leng Shaoting in envy, a lot of women came looking at him.
Foreigners were more open and bold than Asians, so people came to hit on Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting before long. They did not even stop to ask whether they were dating. Even if they were dating, it did not matter.
Not everyone came to talk to them with bad intentions, but most of the people who did admittedly harbored them. Otherwise, they would not bother to talk to them!
“Hey, gorgeous! Can we be friends?” A handsome-looking guy made a pass at Gu Ning with complete disregard for Leng Shaoting.
Leng Shaoting looked annoyed when someone attempted to hit on his fiancé. However, he said nothing. He was not so petty that he would attempt to drive the guy away. In any case, Gu Ning wouldn’t talk to him.
