Chapter 72: Three Times the Price

Michael was left speechless for a moment. He looked at the young man, wondering, was this guy crazy or something?

Just because he had purchased a car that was a worldwide limited edition, did that imply that he had to know how to race?

Even if he did know how to race, did he have to sell his car just because of this? If that was so, then why did he even bother to buy the car?

Looking at the expression on Michael’s face, the young man cleared his throat and said, “How about this, I am willing to offer double the price for that car. Are you willing to part with it?”

“Double the price, huh?” Michael almost laughed out loud when he heard that.

Double the price, did this guy even know what he was saying? If it was money, then no problem, Michael believed that the guy could offer the money.

But, could he really offer 44 SP to him? That was an impossibility, considering that Michael did not believe that this guy had a system.

As for the money, Michael did not really care about it. After all, he could not use the money to purchase another car from the system.

As for the SP, the only method of gaining them was through obtaining skills. But, obtaining the skills was quite time-consuming, and Michael was not willing to waste the SP like this.

Upon seeing the expression on Michael’s face, the young man seemed to think that Michael did not feel like the price was right.

“Alright, I admit that your car is quite rare. With only 85 units ever produced, I will accept that it is not something that can be easily bought.

How about this, I will offer triple the price. No matter how much you spent on it, I will offer you the price three times.” The young man thought for a moment before he spoke.

From his words, Michael could clearly tell that this guy knew about his car. For him to be able to precisely point out that 85 units were produced worldwide, it was clear that he had done his research before.

And from his behavior, and asking him if he could race with him, it seemed that he was some kind of car enthusiast.

Regardless, Michael simply shook his head, not willing to sell the car.

“What? You are not willing even at such a high price?” The young man seemed to not have anticipated Michael rejecting him.

There was a shocked expression on his face, but at the same time, his frustration could be seen.

From the looks of it, this guy seemed to be one that would expose his emotions, not the kind that liked scheming.

This gave Michael a good impression of him, but it was just a tiny bit. And this bit was not enough for him to sell the car that he had just obtained for less than 2 hours.

Seeing that Michael was still unwilling, the young man gritted his teeth and said, “How about this, I am willing to offer three times the price, and my own car. Is that enough?”

Michael was a little bit dumbfounded this time. Was this guy really going all out just to acquire the car?

But in actual sense, it kind of made sense that it was kind of difficult to be able to obtain the Koenigsegg Regera. But, why did it feel like this guy was offering a very high price for it?

Michael was pretty sure that if this guy went and found one of the 85 buyers, as long as he offered the same conditions that he was currently offering, he would be able to acquire the car.

But unfortunately, Michael was not the least bit tempted. After all, those other cars were second hand, having already been driven for several years now.

As for his own, he had only been driving it for less than 2 hours, which might be said to be a test drive. So, he could sell it as a brand new car, as the mileage had not really moved that much.

“Sorry, but I’m not willing to sell the car.” Michael politely rejected.

But it seemed that the young man was not convinced. The frustrated expression on his face became a little exaggerated, as though the guy wanted to snatch the car away from Michael.

“Hey, bro, I know that your car is a limited edition car. But no matter what, it is still a second hand vehicle. I am already offering a sky high price to acquire it.

And the reason why I am interested in this car of yours is because I can see that its condition is quite good. It is also this reason that is pushing me to offer such a high price for it.

Out of the 85 cars produced, yours is definitely one of the most well maintained cars.” The young man said, as though he was haggling to purchase some vegetables in the market.

Michael could only let out a helpless sigh before he said, “I think that your information is kind of outdated and inaccurate. Why don’t you look online again? See how many cars were produced?”

“Huh? Are you trying to tell me that Koenigsegg produced another batch of cars? If that is the case, then why should I bother purchasing yours if I can acquire a new one from the manufacturer? Though, why is it that I have not gotten any info on that?” The young man was slightly startled, before he responded.

Without hesitation, he took out his phone, before he accessed the Koenigsegg’s official platform. He searched for the Koenigsegg Regera, with anticipation in his eyes.

But, his expression that was previously one of anticipation turned into disappointment, before turning into shock.

As for why that was so, it was because he saw that the previous 85 units produced info, had been changed to 86. And looking at the date of the update of the information, it was exactly on this day, just about over an hour ago.

The young man blinked his eyes continuously, as he tried refreshing the page, to see if the information loaded would be different.

But no matter how many times he refreshed the page, he realized that the information was still the same.

86 units produced! Previously, there were 85. Did that not imply that there was one more that had been produced?

And from the way that this guy was speaking, was the extra one unit the one that he was currently driving?

But how was that even possible? After all, Koenigsegg had only just updated their data on this car model, and this guy was already having it?

Could it be that he had acquired it first, before Koenigsegg updated it on their platform? Or could it be that this guy had some special connections, which allowed him to be able to order the car in advance?

And after it was delivered to him, Koenigsegg finally updated it on their platform?

As his mind was still running wildly, trying to understand the situation, Michael did not bother with him.

At this point, the traffic lights had already turned green, and Michael stepped on the accelerator, driving away. He did not want to continue wasting time here.

The young man, who was still in stupor, suddenly came back to his senses when he heard the sound of the car engine departing.

“Hey! Wait for a moment!” And as he shouted, he also began driving, chasing after Michael.

Considering that Michael was not driving the car at full speed, the young man was able to easily catch up to him after a few seconds.

Looking over at Michael, he shouted, “Could you stop for a moment? Let’s talk business. Give me the conditions, and as long as I can fulfill them, I will do it, as long as I can acquire that car.”

Michael was once again left speechless by the persistence of this guy. Was he really that desperate to get the car?

“Hey, what’s the deal with you with this car? Do you have to go all out in order to acquire it?” Michael shouted back, puzzled.

“Bro, you don’t know. This is big news! As long as I can acquire this car, I can boast around in our circle. Previously, just owning this car, in such a good condition, would be something to boast about.

But, if I can acquire the new car that has just been recently manufactured, how awesome would that be? So, I’m willing to offer a high price to acquire it.” The guy responded, not hiding anything from Michael.

This once again let Michael speechless. Just who the heck was this guy? For him to be able to afford the McLaren P1, his background was definitely not simple.

From his understanding of those top families, a person with such a personality, they definitely could not inherit the position of the family head.

So, was it possible that this was just a wastrel of one of those families?

Shaking his head slightly, Michael decided to park the car on the side of the road, to give the guy a chance of convincing him. At the same time, he was quite curious about this guy.

As soon as he parked the car, the guy also did the same. And, he quickly got out of his car, before rushing towards Michael’s.

“Hey bro, let me introduce myself officially. My name is Alex Walter. Nice to meet you.” The young man said as he extended his hand through the car window, to shake Michael’s.
