Chapter 960
The BMW 5 Series and the Mercedes-Benz E-ss Series were quite equivalent in their range, but
Max knew very well that Charlie''s BMW 520 was the lowest model in the 5 Series, while his Merc
E300L was closer to the most premium model in the E-ss Series.
There were also the E260 and E200 models below him. 3
In other words, Charlie''s BMW 520 was of the same grade as the Merc E200, while his E300L was
more advanced than his car in terms of its performance. 4
He grinned coyly and said, "Hey, Charlie, I don''t want t o condemn you, but you are being so vain.
Experts have said that you must never buy the cheapest and lowest model in the series. Why did
you buy this lousy beggar version 520 instead of the better model with the higher-spec in the 3
Series? Are you trying to show off?"
Some asked curiously, "Max, what is the beggar version?"
Max answered with a smug smile, "The beggar version means the car with the lowest specs in the
series, the entry-level, the basic of them all." 3
Everyone nodded knowingly.
Right at this moment, a portrait struck Charlie''s mind. He remembered Clinton Tucker, the guy who
drove a BMW 540 to Dous’s newly opened restaurant and
acted as though he flew a ne. 2
He remembered how Clinton had teased and agitated him, even challenging him to a race, trying to
crush his 520 with his 540. 2
A light bulb was switched on in his mind! Clinton was the one who had teased him into a car race,
but this time, he wanted to agitate Max so that he would want a race himself! 3
He cleared his throat and started, "Max, I wonder if you''ve ever heard this saying, ''Hamilton doesn''t
win all his titles because he has the best car, but because h e is Hamilton''. It means that if you are
an excellent driver, you can drive any car faster than others, but if you are a mediocre driver, you
can''t outrun anyone even if you drive an Fl." 5
Then, Charlie donned an egotistical smirk and continued, "Max, I don''t want to brag, but my driving
skill is the best in the city. I even earned a nickname-Schumacher of Aurous Hill!" 1
Max curled his lips disdainfully. "D*mn it! You? Schumacher of Aurous Hill? Do you even know what
Schumacher looks like?"
Charlie sneered contemptuously, "Suck it, pal." 5
Max snorted, "Huh! It''s your mouth, you can say whatever the hell you want to say! I don''t believe
you! Schumacher of Aurous Hill driving a BMW 520? Oh m y God, you''ve gotta be kidding me! A
simple press on m y elerator and you will only be able to smell my
exhaust smoke!" 4

Then, Max arched his eyebrows arrogantly and asked, "Hey, do you want to bet?"
"Huh? Again?" Charlieughed. "Honestly, I just defeated a BMW 540 not long ago. 540 is more
powerful than your E300L, just so you know."
Max spat contemptuously and growled, "Hey, did you sketch your dialog first before you started
bragging? Your lousy car defeated a 540? Do you really expect m e to believe in that bullsh*t? If you
can defeat my E300L, I''ll take yourst name!"
Charlie asked deliberately, "How much horsepower is your car?" 1
"258!" Max stated proudly.
Charlie nodded as he gave a thumbs up. "Awesome! I''m not your opponent then, my car is just a
mere 184-horsepower! My car is nothingpared to yours!" s
Max smirked, "What? Do you want to back off now? What did you just say? You defeated a much
more powerful BMW 540 with 340-horsepower, and you''re afraid of my 258-horsepower Merc
E300L? You''re such a coward!” 9
Charlie replied, pretending to be afraid and timid, "Eh, I told you that I''m not on par with you, you
win! You win by walkover! Aren’t you happy?"
