Hundred Times Income Multiplier System

Chapter 23 Well Deserved Title

?"Did you see that?"

"Do you think that I am blind?"

"I've fallen for him!"

"You? Even Sir Isaac Newton's law of universal gravity can't allow you to do so. How can you fall for him?"

"Anyway, he's crushing me!" (Alternate way of saying that Jack is his crush.)

"Get lost, you're daydreaming!"

"Hey, it's 7pm now, it's night, how can I daydream?"

"You ask yourself, after all, you're the one daydreaming, not me."

"This is a professional driver, a professional racer! Where was he hiding all this time?"

"Maybe he's from another city."

"Open your dog eyes and see the registration number of the Bentley Continental GT! It's from Inchoate city."

"You, open your dog brain. Do you think that if I buy a car in Crystal city I'll be a resident there?"

The commotion caused by Jack's driving skills wasn't small. As even those that were in charge of the racing competition were greatly impressed by his driving skills.

On the other hand, Steve frowned the moment that he saw that Jack's car didn't flip over at such a sharp bend. He was wondering what was going on when Brenda, who was seated in the co-driver's seat spoke.

"It seems that our li'l brother has been hiding all these years."

"What do you mean?" Steve asked with a frown as he turned his gaze back to the road. Since he had slowed down drastically, his speed was still accelerating. On the other hand, Jack's Bentley was catching up as it had only reduced its speed by a small amount at the corner.

"During the past three days, he's been going to the government building in charge of the stores found in the city. When we asked about it, we were told that he was purchasing a grocery store, a few of them to be precise." Brenda analyzed.

"On the first day that we met him here in Inchoate city, he was coming from a store. And now, that store has been turned into a grocery although it doesn't have the stock yet. He bought a Bentley Continental GT and he has the capital that can be used to start more than three grocery stores. Now, he's got good driving skills."

"I can guess where his money is coming from. Racing. He must have been participating in racing secretly without our knowledge. And now, he's won several prizes in that, he's accumulated quite a sum of money on him." Brenda concluded.

"Hiss! What a cunning little man. It seems that we've underestimated him, just like his mother." Steve spoke.

The car fell into momentary silence. The commotion was brought only when they heard the sound of a car engine approaching them. Looking at the side mirror, Steve could clearly see that currently, the gap between them had been reduced. Furthermore, Jack's Bentley was already closer to overtaking William's Porsche 911 that was currently in the second place.

He stepped on the gas as the car accelerated furthermore. Upon noticing this, Brenda frowned and said, "You better stop fooling around. There are several corners up ahead. If you keep up with this speed, there might be an accident!"

"Worry not. I know my limits." Even as he said that, he accelerated further, using the speed of the Lamborghini Huracan to the maximum, increasing the gap between him and Jack and William who were now at a tie.

George took a deep breath as he tried calming down. He had almost been frightened to death when the car almost flipped over. Looking at Jack's calm and indifferent expression, he couldn't help but wonder to himself, was it just a coincidence that the car didn't flip over or was this due to Jack's professional driving skills?

Jack didn't say a word as he continued accelerating. He wanted to win this race well. And winning it well meant that he'd have to give the second place a considerable gap. As for the record, he would of course break it.

Ding!

It was a sound that came from the car's dashboard. Jack glanced at it and found that the download of the map had been completed. He had decided to completely download the map of Inchoate city so that he could use the cars special navigation system.

Now that it was done, he pressed a button that zoomed the map. There, it showed his current position, speed as well as the road that he was on. So, he marked the finishing line as the end location and navigated from his current position.

In a short moment, a path was formed. This path that he could follow was one that the Bentley Continental GT would have no problem in using.

"You can tell me if the road that is shown on the map is the one that we're supposed to follow during the race," Jack stated simply to the flabbergasted George.

George nodded his head, still in a daze as he stared at the car's navigation system. As time moved, he could see that the map was becoming clear and clear, to the situation where it was almost looking like a satellite map.

He could see the car, although not clearly. The path that they were following was currently yellow as it wasn't clear yet. This Bentley's navigation system was quite digital, he thought to himself.

In the next moment, he was forced to come back to reality as he stared at the map. Unknowingly, they had already arrived before an S shaped bend. Although it wasn't a perfect S- shape.

The corners were quite sharp. So, at this time, William who was forced to reduce his speed was already disappearing from the corner. Just like before, Jack did a drift. Unlike the last time, Jack didn't reduce the speed of the car at all on this corner.

There were a total of four corners so far on the S- bend. And on all of these bends, Jack never slowed down. And, the car never showed any signs of flipping over as well.

The reason for this was obviously due to Jack's familiarity of the road through the car's navigation system. He could already tell what shape the road was going to take next. As a result, he was able to make ample preparations.

On the third corner, Jack passed Steve, who was forced to slow down due to the many corners. Otherwise, he would have ran off the tracks.

Jack didn't even spare their Lamborghini Huracan a glance as he overtook them. In the fourth corner, Steve could only see the Bentley Continental GT's taillights.

The racing track that was chosen was full of corners. After all, the show of a driver's skills was on these corners. There was absolutely no thrill in racing on a straight racing track.

After overcoming his fear, George began enjoying the way that Jack was driving. He also made sure to look at the way that Jack was switching gears. But, he was forced to give up as nothing that Jack did made sense to him.

So, he put his mind to enjoying the ride. Although he couldn't see what Jack was doing to be able to easily drift on the sharp corners, he made his mind to ask him after this.

"Just look at it go! This is what we call driving cars professionally."

"Yeah you're right. All the others are amateurs in front of him."

"Hahaha, I made the right bet. Now, I've earned big. The odds of the Bentley winning was 2.5. Too bad I didn't bet even more. Otherwise, I'd have earned bigger."

"Brother, remember that I was the one that told you to place the bet on him?"

"Yeah, I remember. But you should have placed a bet as well. Haven't you won too?"

"Well…you know, I betted on the Lamborghini."

"So, you were trying to make me lose money? And you're still shamelessly stretching over your claws to ask for money? Get lost you evil creature!"

Although the race was only halfway, for the first person of course, the spectators already knew who the winner of this race was. But, that didn't make them lose their interest in the race as they focused all of their attention on how Jack tackled the corners.

Currently, there was nobody who could see the Bentley Continental GT's taillight. Even so, Jack didn't slow down.

It seemed that the management had also seen that Jack was what all the spectators were interested in, even those that had lost their bets, although their hearts were bleeding, they could still endure it to watch the top-notch driving skills.

So, all the screens but two were showing the Bentley Continental GT. The other two showed the Lamborghini Huracan and William's Porsche 911. This was just to give them some face as they were in the second and third place.

Vrooom!

The sound of a roaring engine made the eyes of the spectators to shift from the screen towards the source. And upon seeing the Bentley Continental GT, the crowd was at first stunned before they began cheering wildly.

They had been staring intently on the screen in that they forgot that the finishing line was the same as the starting line. So, they had forgotten that the Bentley would still come to the starting point.

As the Bentley Continental GT crossed the finishing line, the crowd erupted in cheers. In total, there were about ten thousand people gathered here to watch the race. In such a way, thru loud cheers shook the night and travelled till they reached the city. This forced the people that were still outside to look towards Mount Bright. At the same time, those that were in their houses moved the curtains aside as they looked out of the window.

The cause of such an eruption wasn't just because Jack had won the race. It was because he'd broken the record that had been set five years ago. He'd taken far less time to finish the race. Now, the new record read, 00:24:39:98.

Jack had finished the race in twenty four minutes. This was mind blowing. He'd broken the record by about seven minutes. Minutes! Not seconds.

The crowd was cheering the name Jack crazily. The ladies, if not for the restrictions that prevented them from reaching the area where the participants were, they would have already rushed there to get his number.

"Driving Deity Jack!"

"Driving Deity Jack!"

"Driving Deity Jack!"

"Driving Deity Jack!"

That was the slogan that was being shouted when the second place, Steve arrived almost nine minutes later, followed by William who was ten minutes behind and finally Kelly who was just thirty seconds or so behind him.

When William alighted from the car, he couldn't help but stare at the calm and composed Jack. He the muttered to himself, he surely deserves this title, Driving Deity Jack.'

With a smile, he headed towards Jack to congratulate him. But, he was forced to stop when he saw that Steve and Brenda were ahead of him as they had already arrived before Jack.
