Chapter 87: A Bit Too Nice
The revving sound of the engine echoed through the streets, instantly drawing attention. Heads turned, conversations paused, and all eyes followed the sleek red car as it raced by. There were mixed reactions, some pointed at the vehicle in awe, others rolled their eyes or scoffed. Whether positive or negative, one thing was certain, it was impossible to ignore.
"Did you see that just now?" Joe asked, standing just outside the gym, waiting for Steven to lift the gate.
"Yeah. Damn rich people," Steven grumbled. "Always looking to show off. Is there really a need to drive something so flashy and rub it in everyone’s face?"
"You’re not wrong," Joe replied. "But I still wish I was one of them someday. Better than ending up broke like you."
"I’d rather be broke than a bully," Steven muttered as he stepped inside the gym.
Mancur City was a coastal city, located right by the sea. Strangely enough, there were no beaches, but instead, it had several well-developed port areas. The city itself was shaped like a crescent, which made it possible to live in multiple neighborhoods and still have a view of the ocean from nearly anywhere.
Because of this, each district had its own local high street and shopping area. However, the luxury shopping malls, the ones that catered to the rich, were located in a particular area known as Shindon, right along the sea front. And while Mancur City had no beaches, oddly enough, it still drew in large numbers of tourists every year thanks to its scenery, atmosphere, and high-end attractions.
So the shopping mall didn’t just house luxury brands, it also had popular retail stores, making it appealing to a wide range of clientele. Which meant that even when Aron and Max pulled into the underground car park, they were still turning heads.
People had seen their fair share of BBWs, Bercedez Benzes, and Borches... but a car like this? That was rare.
"Hey, you think it’s some kind of celebrity?" one of the younger guys whispered.
"Nah," another replied. "Celebs don’t come to places like this. They usually go to those private boutiques, you know?"
