Chapter 98 CHAPTER 98: FIONA LECROY
Davies's intended to hand over his watch to the cool Spanish guy when suddenly a hand stretched out at inhuman speed and grabbed the watch from his hand. Davies obviously saw the hand coming and could have avoided it but made no effort to do so as he sensed no threat from the newcomer and so his watch ended up in the stranger's hand.
"He's right.. this watch isn't worth ten million powerstone dollars," a beautiful-sounding voice said.
"It's worth more.. a whole lot more."
Davies took a look at the person that grabbed his watch and his eyes fell on a red-headed beauty that was holding onto his watch and inspecting it very thoroughly.
"The Spatek Phillipe Grandmaster Chime Ref. 6300A-010,"
"There are only a hundred of these watches available in the whole of Leivandage and its auction starting price is seventy million powerstone dollars," the beautiful red-head explained, causing gasps to flow like rain from the listening crowd and everyone began to gaze at Davies with a look of reverence, obviously differing from the looks of lust, scorn greed and other types of looks that he was receiving just a few seconds earlier.
"I never expected to be able to see one, much less touch one in my lifetime, but I guess it's only natural that someone like Mr. Lake can have one," the red-headed beauty said as she handed the watch back to Davies.
The crowd's opinion of Davies seemed to have risen even more after hearing that he was from the famed Lake family. The reputation that came with the Lake family was not one that Davies fancied but he was not going to go out of his way to tell the crowd that he and the Lake family were at loggerheads with one another.
"And who are you?" Davies collected the watch.
"Fiona Lecroy," the redhead introduced herself and put her hand out for a formal handshake, her neck length was being blown around slightly by the cool night wind.
"Oh.. the Lecroy family," Davies's eyebrow rose up in surprise, but he still went on to grasp her soft hand as he was quite thankful that she had saved him the trouble of explaining about his possessions like an encyclopedia to the people around him.
[She's the one]historical
'Hmm?'
[She was the one in the red Cerrari.. the one you stalked all the way here]
'Oh.. she's the one with the high fate value..' Davies immediately realized the situation.
'Also, don't make me sound like a creep,'
[Aye aye captain] Miya replied cheerily.
'But, since she's supposed to be one of the protagonist's future companions.. harem member is more likely,' he thought as he looked very well at her sexy figure that was perfect everywhere.
Her blazing red hair gleamed in the light that was shining from the lamps and headlights that lit up the place and her blood-red lips that were just as red as blood looked inviting enough for it to cause a war between two kings.. or a villain and a protagonist in her case.
Her delectable-looking body wasn't extremely full of "thicc", but her curves and the shape of her body were nothing short of perfect. They were not as big as one would see in hentai but they were sexy enough to give any straight guy a hard-on.
[Ahem] Miya cleared her throat to remind him of what was at hand.
*Cough.. sorry, anyway, as I was saying,' Davies came to from the distraction that was Fiona Lecroy's body.
'Since she is one of the future harem members of this idiot,' he thought while looking at the idiotic protagonist,
'...Then why did she take my side in this argument,' Davies was curious, but he made sure to not look distracted on the outside, though that was pretty easy with his naturally stoic face.
"Thank you for explaining matters, I prefer to not do something so distasteful and for that, you have my gratitude.. and my attention, he said as his apathetic look changed to a gave of a ravenous wolf staring her down at her as if she were nothing but mere prey.
His look sent shivers down the spine of the one on the receiving end of the look as well as all the other women that were looking at his face at the moment.
"And since you have both my gratitude and my attention, I will not take up the matter of you grabbing one of my possessions like it was a commodity you'd see at an everyday market," his gaze changed again to one of slight annoyance as he continued because he felt that this red-headed beauty, though beautiful and was quite helpful to him just a second ago, she was extremely cheeky as well.
Davies did not like cheeky people as to him they were no different from annoying people that he wouldn't mind squashing like a bug if they annoyed him too much. That was why he was pointing out her fault so she can curb her cheeky attitude.. around him at least.
"O-Of course, Mr. Lake," Fiona Lecroy stammered out a response. She had been heavily affected by his charm when he looked at her like she was nothing but a piece of meat that he wanted to devour and was already beginning to feel a little wet down there, but when his look changed to that of slight annoyance, she was thrown off balance by the feelings she had at that moment.
She was the main daughter of the Lecroy family and her family had been one of the first ones to find out that the genius of the century was back in Yorkshire city.
Her father had continuously stressed the fact that no one in the Lecroy family was to provoke him no matter the reason and to do their best to establish a relationship with him if the opportunity came up.
Fiona was not dumb enough to undermine someone like Davies especially when she was the most likely one to inherit the position of the head of the Lecroy family as she was the only daughter of her family, so when she met saw him in a mild dilemma due to some annoyingly proud guy that had just managed to defeat her cousin Jordan Lecroy, the previous racing king, she decided to step in and try to help out, but her cheeky nature and love for gleaming objects kicked in at full power when she saw the watch that Davies was going to hand over to Carlos, the Spanish dude that was organizing the race.
She leaped forward and grabbed the watch at the fastest speed she could muster and quickly began inspecting it. Imagine her surprise as she recognized the watch to be one of the most expensive watches in the whole of Leivandage. A watch that was so expensive and rare that even her father, the current head of the Lecroy family hadn't even seen one.
After realizing what she had just done, she quickly explained about the watch and handed it back to its owner while hoping that he wouldn't take offense at her behavior
He had first asked who she was to which she had gladly told him as it seemed that he had taken no offense from her actions earlier, but due to his impassive face, she couldn't tell what his thinking.
ραпdα---n?νa| сom She thought she was off the hook when suddenly his gaze at her turned dangerous, but instead of his look scaring her, it had instead made her aroused and very attracted to him, of course, his devilishly handsome face helped.
But when his look changed to one of slight annoyance, she was thrown off balance and could only stutter, hoping she hadn't blown it, but his next words put her at ease.
"Anyway, I'll talk to you later, let me take care of this annoyance first," Davies decided to deal with other matters after defeating Lee Jung and turned back to his own car after handing over the watch to Carlos, who grabbed the watch like his life depended on it for some reason.
Both Davies began to walk back to his car, ignoring the crowd around him, and got into the black Cesla where Tisha was there waiting for him with music playing from the speakers.
"Are we racing now?" Tisha asked with sparkly eyes. She had been inside the car with the windows up, so she could not hear anything going on outside.
"Yeah, we have a race to win," Davies answered her as his eyes turned over to the bag that had been placed inside the car by Daniel.
He quickly put the car into gear and drove out of the parking space where he was and began to drive towards where the starting line was. Lee Jung's car was already parked at the starting line while waiting for Davies's car to get there when he saw Davies's black Cesla moving towards his direction at high speed.
Davies purposely drove fast toward Lee Jung's blue Cesla, but immediately he entered a five-meter range of the Blue Cesla, he pulled hard on the handbrake and broke into a drift, beginning to drift around Lee Jung's blue Cesla.
Davies drifted around Lee Jung thrice in a show of well-practiced driving skills before stopping perfectly beside Lee Jung's blue Cesla, eliciting a wave of cheers from the crowd that had seen Davies display his drifting skills.
*WOOOOOOOO*
"Tch.. Showoff," Lee Jung muttered inside his car.
A race girl walked onto the track and stopped in the middle of the track with her hands raised,
"3, 2, 1.."
"Goooo!!!"
