Gripping the finest steering wheel he has ever touched, Liam smiled, with the system in hand, he has the option to get a better life, and he will have to be a little shameless to complete this mission.
"I might be able to get my revenge too, but that can wait."
Thinking of the lucrative rewards he would get from the system, Liam smiled, then realized this car was keyless and the two keys he had were smart keys, just by having them with you is enough to start the car. Liam pressed the start button.
The 510 HP V8 engine roared in the neighborhood, and after two seconds, it went silent. Liam raised an eyebrow, he was really impressed by the engineering of this car. It was very muscular in a cool way.
"I can barely hear anything from outside now, and this car’s exhaust is very quiet."
When he glanced at the side view mirror, Liam understood this car was very long, so he had to be careful with it while taking turns, it took him a few minutes just to understand the basics of this car.
First of all, the gear knob that came out of the console panel won’t twist, he had to press the brakes to get it on to ’Drive Mode,’ and then there are tens of buttons for many things on the steering and dashboard.
"Well, I have to get used to it, it’s a luxurious car, and I plan on keeping it."
*VRRM*
Liam liked the challenges that come with this big, heavy car, he slowly rotated the steering wheel and stepped on the gas. Because he lacked the skill to navigate such a long car, he had to do a multipoint turn on this narrow street, but it felt satisfying once the car was properly aligned, facing the bigger road.
"Now, where the fuck did she go?"
Liam fastened his seat belt as he was about to enter the main street that connects to the Santa Monica Freeway, it was a major connecting road, so he didn’t want to get a ticket on his first day driving in this new life.
*BRRRR*
As he stepped on the gas, the debris of the cracked street flew out first, then the car moved forward. The massive sunroof was giving him a view of the sky while he looked around like an ostrich to check the blind spot as the car stepped onto the major road.
"There"
Liam was actively searching for Clara and soon found her, she was standing in a bus stop, using her phone, and barely in the shade. Before she could see him, Liam turned the indicator on and parked the car just ahead of the bus stop.
"Clara"
He got down from the car and called her name loud, and when she looked up from her phone, Liam saw her eyes looked somewhat swollen. His legs didn’t stop, but his mind paused for a second. A weird thought crossed his mind: she was an absolutely gorgeous girl, and what if she was crying for him?
Batshit, a girl crying over me? Must be something else had happened.
"What do you want?"
Clara, seeing Liam coming over her way, sniffed her nose, wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, and asked angrily, she looked heartbroken, and for some reason Liam was not sure if he wanted to have a conversation with her at this moment.
Damn it, System, I need to control myself as well. Can’t think with a dick, Liam, not this time.
Gritting his teeth in anger, Liam took a deep breath and walked ahead like the friend he was for her, he convinced himself mentally to be a friend now, not a simp, just a friend who would offer his friend a ride back home.
Yes, one last ride with her to get rewards.
"I am sorry, I shouldn’t have talked in that tone earlier. It was my bad."
Liam smiled as he approached her, Clara just sniffed and looked away from him. She was clearly pretending to ignore him, although she wore bold clothes, but she was emotionally a very fragile teenager at the end of the day.
"Hello? Hey, I said I am sorry.
"You like Amanda, right?"
Clara turned around and questioned Liam out of nowhere. Liam squinted his eyes with confusion, he just got here today, and this name doesn’t ring any bells for him.
"Amanda, who?"
"Amanda, the one who you wanted to ask to prom."
Shit, high school drama, I don’t even remember who the fuck that is. I must have told her to make her jealous or something so she will want me more. I was such a child.
"N... No, I don’t like her."
Liam was not certain how he should break it to her, he would look bad no matter what he tried to explain, and her sitting in his car was very necessary to him, it would give him the next main mission.
"You don’t?"
Clara suddenly was very attentive to what Liam said, he parked the car before meeting her, so she didn’t see the car he drove here, but she would glance at it from time to time as it looked brand new and very eye-catching.
"I don’t, I don’t even remember her face. I thought it was obvious, I’ve really liked you for a long time now and lied to you to get your attention. I am really sorry about that, but hey, I am over you..."
"Is that so?"
Clara cut him off mid-sentence, her crying stopped, and her body turned towards Liam instead of glancing past him to the Range Rover, she was now looking him in the eyes.
"Y... Yeah, I genuinely don’t remember who Amanda is."
"Got it, so you...are over me?"
"Yes, I am over you, but I feel really guilty speaking with you so rudely back there, so let me give you a ride back home."
Clara narrowed her eyes when she heard he was over her, but when she heard he would send her back, she smiled. Liam also smiled, this was his chance to get the rewards and fulfill this weird mission.
"Sure, where’s your ride?"
Liam was a little shocked when he saw her agreeing so fast, but he couldn’t care less, if she sits in his car, that’s all he needs.
"That’s my ride, wait here."
Liam pointed at the Range Rover, and before she could react, he turned around and was already on his way to his car. The door opened as soon as he pulled the door handle, a side step got deployed automatically for him to get on.
*BRRM*
The Range Rover jumped forward as soon as Liam pressed the accelerator, and with a swift movement, he parked it in front of her. Clara looked very confused but slowly walked to the passenger side and hopped on.
"Whose car is this?"
"Mine"
"For real?"
Liam smiled, didn’t explain himself, and fastened his seatbelt first, then gestured for Clara to do the same. Clara buckled the seatbelt but was still looking at Liam’s way for an answer.
Liam clicked on a button to open the upper glove box, apparently this car has two glove boxes. The compartment gently opened. There was a file inside it. Liam pulled it out and gave it to Clara, then drove towards the Santa Monica Highway entrance.
Clara was pinned into the leather seat as Liam sped up fast, the road was getting uphill. This was a major road that connects with the highway, and you can’t be very slow here, you have to match the road speed rhythm. Liam knew where she lived because he has a history with her neighborhood.
"Wow, this really is your car. Damn! Did you win a lottery? Is this why you don’t like me anymore?"
Clara looked at Liam with a shocked face, she had seen his name on the papers of this car, then gently placed the folder where it was and kept looking at Liam for an answer.
*GROWL* x2
"Want to grab some pizza before we enter your neighborhood?"
Both Liam’s and Clara’s stomachs growled together, it didn’t take long for him to exit the highway. She lives twenty minutes away from his house in a neighborhood where many gangs operate, so before entering the area, he wanted to eat some pizza relaxedly.
