Volume 7 Chapter 48 - Doing Business With Dragons (1/2)
The tenth Frestech City Magic Car Race had just ended and the results were as expected, it was a Frestech Chamber of Commerce car that took first place.
However, what they didn’t expect was that there were two drivers in these cars and with the power of the Frestech Team, since they were racing in Frestech City this time, they should have taken the first two places. But only one of them received the championship and as for the other……they were in last place.
This last place wasn’t because of an accident that happened, but rather it had been in last place the entire time.
When everyone saw this result, they all felt that it was unbelievable.
This was the newest Magic Race Car developed by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, so how could it get last place?
This was just too strange!
Because of this surprising result, there were many people who suffered losses with their bets during this race. No one had thought that a driver from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would get last place which was unbelievable.
However, no matter how disappointed people were, they couldn’t compare to the person who drove…..oh, no, the dragon who drove this car……
“Xu Yi, you didn’t give me the best car at all, did you?” Cassandra angrily looked at Xu Yi with eyes that almost popped out.
If she wasn’t in human form, Xu Yi didn’t doubt that she would be spitting out flames.
“How could that be?” Xu Yi quickly raised his hand to show his innocence, “We prepared the best cars for our team and they were specially maintained just so they would be in the best condition for the race.”
“Then why did I get last place?” Cassandra was still angry.
“This……” Xu Yi blinked in a daze. He couldn’t just say that her driving was so bad that it was natural that she would get last place.
It was a good thing that Cassandra just thought that it was embarrassing getting last place and was only venting herself. Actually, she knew that her driving skills weren’t that good and she had been shown that in the competition.”
“Xu Yi, other than the Magic Illusion Projector, also give me a Magic Race Car.” Cassandra paused before saying, “Of course, I don’t mean for you to give it for free. I guarantee that I will help your company’s people as much as possible.”
“Oh?” Xu Yi’s eyes lit up as his heart filled with joy.
Getting a promise from a dragon wasn’t easy. If he could get a promise from Cassandra with some illusion films and a Magic Race Car, that was considered too cheap.
“Alright.” Xu Yi quickly agreed. After thinking for a bit, he deliberately knitted his brows, “But there’s a problem. Cassandra, you’ve used the Magic Car from some time, so you should know that they have a chance to break and you need to maintain them and service them when they break. So even if I give you a Magic Sedan, you won’t be able to use it for that long.”
“Is that so?” Cassandra knitted those two red brows that were like tiny swords above her head, “What do I do?”
“There’s two ways to solve this. Once is when something happens to the Magic Car, you can bring it to our place to repair it.”
“That is too troublesome.” The place I live is over ten thousand kilometers away, it would take ten days even if I flew at full speed.” Cassandra immediately shook her head to reject this idea.
“Then we can only use the second method. Our company can open a Magic Car repair shop at your place that will maintain this Magic Race Car in the future.”
“Alright, then it’s this.”
“But Cassandra…..do you know how much we would need to invest to cross ten thousand kilometers of seas and go over to your place to open a Magic Car repair shop?” Xu Yi looked at Cassandra with a strange look.
Cassandra pursed her lips, “You humans like you go around in circles. I understand what you mean, you just want money. How about this, I’ve been alive for this long, so I have some treasures that are considered valuable to you humans. I’ll take some out to pay you with, that will work, right?”
“Un……I can’t deny that you have the finances, but Cassandra, for our company, just running over there to build a magic repair shop for you alone isn’t worth it.” Xu Yi shook his head.
Seeing that Xu Yi rejected him, Cassandra couldn’t help getting angry.
“I say, Xu Yi, why are you humans so troublesome? I just want you to give me a Magic Race Car and you bring out all these things? You can just not give me one if you want, do you think that our dragon race craves your human products that much?”
“No, no, no, I didn’t have this meaning at all.” Xu Yi waved his hand, “It’s just that compared to this, I have a better proposition. It can solve the problem of giving you a Magic Race Car, while also bringing plenty of profit to our company.”
“Oh? You have a good idea?”
“Cassandra, do you like illusion films very much?”
“Nonsense.”
“Then do the other dragons of your dragon race like watching them as well?”
“I don’t know about the other clansmen, but the clansmen on Fire Rock Island all seem to like it.”
