Chapter 485: Michael is fuming
"A load of bullshit?" Harry asked incredulously. "You clearly don’t know the real value of this automobile."
Uncle Jack walked forward and knocked on the automobile, as if testing its durability. "Hmph...this thing is clearly not practical. It’s made out of metal, so it’ll move way too slow."
Princess Elizabeth scoffed. "You don’t even know what you’re talking about!"
"I don’t have to," Uncle Jack snidely remarked. "I already know that whatever they’re saying that this automobile can do, is nothing but a big fat lie."
"And what makes you say that?" Bart asked defensively, unable to hold on his anger any longer.
"It’s because you are Vanderbilts, that’s why! Everyone knows that your family is on the brink of collapse. Your businesses failed.
Elizabeth, Harry, doesn’t it make you wonder how they were even able to build something like this when they’re struggling to even keep their mansion? There’s no way that they could have funded the research and development needed to create this miraculous automobile that can replace carriages and horses. It just doesn’t make sense!
So the only explanation is that this is a scam—a scam that is specifically meant to target us, the royal family, who have unlimited funding. And I’ve got to give them credit for it. You guys were gullible enough to believe their lies.
Right now, the automobile works just fine. But that’s probably because of some magic that they installed inside.
But when it comes time to sell it to the public, it’s gonna be nothing but dead weight, a scrap of metal. It won’t matter to these Vanderbilts once they get the money to reclaim their lands.
Is this what the legacy of the great Yze Vanderbilt has left? If so, then their reign as the wealthiest family in the world will soon come to an end once he dies off."
