Leah Tyson looked stupefiedly at Finn Lewis. To be frank, she greatly admired his ability to forcefully reject such an enticing offer. Although her intention to irritate him had failed, she had to admit that Finn was incredibly decisive when it came to his choices.
“However,” Finn gave Leah a skeptical look and said, “You’re not teasing me, are you?”

“What, regretting your decision to pass up the opportunity to mingle with the higher-ups? No one else heard this conversation, so if you want to change your mind, feel free. It’s not too late,” Leah responded with a playful grin.
Finn firmly shook his head before he began, “It strikes me as odd that you would know about this. Even if Director White approached me, he wouldn’t spill such details to you, would he? If word got out, the rumor mill wouldn’t just be confined to our country; it would send shock waves internationally.”
“How I know this is none of your concern. Do you regret your choice or not? As she mentioned, you lost more than just an opportunity; you also lost the chance to meet an influential person who would inevitably have remembered
you.”
Finn chuckled slightly before replying, “He would have crossed paths with me, sooner or later.” Finn appeared overly confident with his statement, perhaps to the point of arrogance, at least in the eyes of Leah and Sarah Wood, resulting in an expression of speechlessness from Sarah.
Just how conceited must one be to make such an audacious claim? According to your logic, he’s bound to reach out to you, right? Sarah didn’t know whether she should label Finn as arrogant or just confident. She shook her head, unable to decipher it. At this point, even if Finn claimed the moon was square, Kay Lee would believe him – her best friend was completely infatuated with him.
Once again, the sound of a siren swept through, and a traffic police patrol car stopped by the roadside accident. Finn shrugged nonchalantly and said, “Officer Tyson, looks like your cue has arrived.”
“What does this have to do with me? You created this mess – you deal with it.”
“I’ve already handled it.” Finn decisively shook his head. Seeing the traffic policemen arrive caused the owners of the damaged cars to unearth themselves. Finn had already compensated them completely and had demonstrated more than enough strength to make sure no one would dare to disturb him further.
The traffic police, seeing the looks on the drivers’ faces, decided not to trouble themselves with the matter. No one was injured, and the problem was apparently resolved. Besides, any person who could afford to damage such luxury vehicles and cover damages was no ordinary individual.
“Alright, but I meant what I said earlier. Are you sure you want to reject the offer? That’s not really leaving us much face,” Leah replied, standing up from her chair.

“Well, outrightly refusing doesn’t seem to be the best approach, but there’s no way I’m budging on the car order. However, I could design a line of cars specifically for middle-aged customers…guaranteed to be just as high-performing,” Finn considered before adding.
Sarah rolled her eyes, but Finn’s words did provide the other party with a convenient way out. When it comes to middle-aged people, no one is too concerned about which car they drive—performance is the key. For these state leaders, using your car is a favour to you. If they choose not to use your car, no matter how desperately you try, they might still refuse.
“Alright. You decide on this. Someone will likely contact you about this matter, so handle it accordingly. I need to be going. Also, thank you for what you did last time,” Leah said, standing up to leave.
“No need for thanks. I did what was necessary. Just don’t involve me next time,” Finn replied, waving her away casually.
Leah hesitated for a moment, shook her head, and left without saying a word. After Leah left, Sarah curiously asked, “Sounds like there’s quite a story between you two?”
“There’s really no big story there, ” Finn replied, shaking his head dismissively.
“There must be something, or you wouldn’t have kept us in the dark. Don’t forget, Kay Lee is still here. You’ve got to explain,” Leah interrogated.
Finn glanced at Kay Lee subconsciously. She’d snapped out of her daydream and was looking a bit embarrassed having heard Sarah’s question. She kicked Sarah under the table and hesitantly asked, wanting to know the answer herself.
“Do tell… we’re quite interested in your history with the grand Officer Tyson. She’s not someone everyone gets a chance to meet,” Sarah encouraged with a teasing grin.
“Seems like you’re pretty familiar with her?” Finn questioned, raising an eyebrow.
“Somewhat. To be honest, there aren’t many in our circle who don’t know Officer Tyson. You, on the other hand, are the strange one. I never heard your name once around Celeston City,” Sarah said, evaluating Finn suspiciously.

“That makes sense. I was a regular guy just less than two months ago,” Finn replied, grinning.
“Who would believe that?” Sarah retorted, rolling her eyes. A regular guy, who within two months, was able to casuallv throw awav three hundred million
Flame Nation coins? Who was able to purchase both brands, HyperCraft and Dura, and even produce a car like the Goddess of Light? Who also bought WY?
“Believe it or not, it’s up to you,” Finn responded, shrugging.
“Well alright. We’re getting off track… let’s get back to how you got to know Officer Tyson,” Sarah demanded, ensuring the topic didn’t stray. Finn was left speechless. After giving it some thought, he decided to spill the beans, narrating their humorous first meeting and the eventful second encounter.
After hearing his story, Sarah’s face was a cocktail of shock, disbelief and amusement. “No way! Are you saying your car resisted two shots without suffering any damage? Even the windshield was spared?”
“Why would I lie to you?” Finn shrugged, unfazed. He could manufacture these materials synthetically in the lab, which weren’t unlike those in Zero’s information library. There was no harm in sharing the truth about his car’s capabilities — his car definitely boasted intelligence beyond compare..
