After Finn Lewis landed, a car was already waiting for him below. After getting into the car, he was transported directly to another helicopter. Once aboard, a lieutenant colonel asked Finn where the warehouse was so they could dispatch a delivery team. The warehouse was actually a place that Finn Lewis had just rented not too long ago; it was not a secret place at all.
Previously, there was nothing stored in the warehouse, but now it was filled with relevant materials. Twenty minutes later, the helicopter carrying Finn Lewis landed at the storage area. However, no transportation vehicles were dispatched from the other side – instead, a heavy-duty transport helicopter was dispatched.
Once he got into Jim Lewis’ car, Olivia Thatcher’s voice rang out, “Mister, a guy named Norton James has just started to investigate you.”
“Oh?” Finn Lewis raised an eyebrow, “Any other movements?”
“Not for now, but judging from the tone of the person Norton James ordered to investigate you, he probably won’t stop harassing you. Should we start gathering evidence in advance? He likely has done many illegal things,” Olivia said decisively.
“You handle it. He’d better not court his own death; otherwise, I don’t mind playing along,” Finn Lewis responded, nodding his head.
“Understood; Harris Yoder’s phone call.” Olivia said before reminding Finn Lewis.
“Harris Yoder.” Finn picked up Cindy Yoder’s phone call.
“Mr. Lewis, we’ve got what we came for, many thanks,” Cindy Yoder said immediately.
“No need for formalities. These are just materials, and you guys are buyers. It’s a normal transaction,” Finn Lewis responded with a smile.
“Never mind. These materials are nothing to us,” Finn Lewis shook his head.
After coming home, Finn Lewis called Jay Sommer to find out about the progress of another matter. Coincidentally, his grandfather’s birthday just happened to coincide with the time that Finn Lewis had set for testing the performance of the Xuanyuan Sword series cars. So, Finn Lewis had to give up attending this test meeting. Anyway, at the beginning, Finn Lewis didn’t say he would attend, so there was no question of any broken promise.
But the number of attendees this time was overwhelming. Besides the media journalists, more than a hundred showed up. This was even after Finn Lewis had limited their number. Otherwise, there would have been more journalists. When the news of the performance of the Xuanyuan Sword series cars came out, it had stirred great interest worldwide.
As far as these journalists were concerned, a supercar like this naturally attracted their attention. There are many wealthy people in this world, and a supercar like this naturally attracted the attention of many of these wealthy people. Especially considering such a vehicle’s shape, let alone its amazing performance, would be hard for any wealthy person to ignore. For these people, money isn’t the issue; it’s the feeling of safety they lack.
Indeed, there are countless cases of kidnappings targeting these kinds of wealthy people.
The gap between the two sides is significant. But for the wealthy who were invited to this test meeting, the performance of the car can only be described as sci-fi. It was akin to throwing a modern car into a time a hundred years ago, making people feel frightened. But for these wealthy people, money is not an issue. The key is the car’s almost perfect protective performance.
It demolished no fewer than 18 cars today, from the cheapest to the most expensive, from several hundred thousand to several million, each hit once. The result was always the same: it remained intact, while the other cars were almost all reduced to scraps of metal. And these collisions were at ultra high speeds.
After the test concluded, seven of the people there signed contracts and made appointments. Seven cars, each one for 1.2 billion in federal coin. One car brought 120,000 points to Finn Lewis; seven cars equated to an enormous 840,000 points. The points Finn Lewis had on hand for the first time amounted to 2 million! But Finn Lewis didn’t use these points for now, instead leaving them in hand as a lot more points would be needed in the future.
And these early signees were only those who concluded purchase contracts with intent. There were also many people who had signed contracts of intent. However, it was hard to tell how many of these would be converted into final orders.
The following morning, as soon as Finn Lewis woke up, domestic and foreign media released an explosive piece of news collectively. This news was regarding the supercar under Finn Lewis’ name. The media were allowed to record some videos during the day. As these videos were being played, pretty much all the world’s media gave the Xuanyuan Sword series cars this title: the world’s most expensive, most luxurious supercar – made in Flame Nation!
Although Finn Lewis had purchased a foreign manufacturer previously, the brand was HyperCraft under the Flying Horse, but HyperCraft was just a luxury car brand. Like Quadriga Phantom, it held a substantial history and was considered luxurious. However, it was just an ordinary car that couldn’t be compared to the Xuanyuan Sword series. If we say that brands like Quadriga Phantom are sold at a premium due to their history and luxury, then the Xuanyuan Sword series cars are sold based on performance.
Its robust performance naturally attracted many tycoons. Moreover, the Xuanyuan Sword auto styles are distinctively different. Each car style is customized, and each has a unique serial number. All parts are like this. With the price set so high, its after-sales service had to follow suit.
Seven cars amounted to a staggering 84 billion federal coins. Such an expensive car has probably never appeared in the world before. As for its cost, probably no one knows. But undoubtedly, it is essentially daylight robbery.
While the news was making a stir, Norton James smashed things in his room. The news had nothing to do with Norton James, but for some reason, upon seeing the news, a raging fire ignited inside him, almost burning up his sanity. Even though his father had explicitly told him not to cause trouble during this time, Norton James could not swallow his anger.
Watching the photo of the young man on his computer monitor, Norton James felt a wave of anger that wouldn’t dissipate until it found a way out. “Damn it, I can’t deal with you, but I won’t let you live comfortably,” he muttered, gritting his teeth. Norton James seemed to have made up his mind as he pulled out his phone and dialed a number.
Half an hour later, Norton James met this individual in his office. A refined man in his thirties, wearing glasses, stood before him. “Finn King, I have a job for you,” said Norton James, his face shrouded in gloom.
Seeing the look on Norton James’ face, Finn King knew someone was in hot water. He just didn’t know who it was. But anyway, he was just Norton James’ right-hand man. He bites whoever Norton James tells him to bite. Finn King knew this well. And with Norton James’ backing, as long as he does not give enemies chances to grab his weak point, he doesn’t have to fear anyone.
