Chapter 204: A faceslap
Noah decided to arrive at Ethan’s school before dismissal time, wanting to surprise his cousin without any advance warning. The element of surprise would make the gesture more meaningful, and honestly, Noah was curious to see how his cousin was adjusting to his new confidence after their mall encounter.
Let’s see how the "Young Master" is doing at school.
He made his way to the garage where his GT-R waited, the sleek Japanese machine gleaming under the overhead lights. The Nissan GT-R represented the perfect balance of performance and presence on the roads.
A car that warranted respect without being ostentatious.
Time to make an impression.
The drive to Ethan’s school took twenty minutes through moderate traffic, giving Noah time to consider his approach. He’d park somewhere visible, wait for dismissal, and see how the students reacted to his cousin being picked up in a demi-supercar.
He wasn’t doing it out of arrogance, certainly not. He just wanted to play around with Ethan, because he knew the young man would be flustered from the other kids’ reaction.
Secondly, he also wanted to help Ethan gain some fame points in school. Noah knew very well how important these things are.
Ethan’s high school appeared. It was an average school in the district; nothing stood out at all. Just a decently large building and space for students to study.
Noah pulled into the visitor parking area, standing directly in front of the main exit where students would flood out in five minutes. The GT-R’s distinctive silhouette immediately drew attention from passing people and early-release students.
He cut the engine and stepped out, the car’s presence already creating ripples of interest among the small groups of teenagers waiting for their friends to finish. Whispered conversations and pointed stares followed his movement as he leaned casually against the driver’s door.
"Who does that car belong to? Is that someone’s dad? I’ve never seen it before, but that student sure is rich."
