When Hannah saw the exquisite box and that elegant logo, her expression showed her shock, "Are you insane, did you use all your earning from the massage chair on this meal?!"

The logo of The Golden Aquitaine was very distinct. Even a homeless man in Flagstaff would know what that cute golden calf meant.

Pointing to Ah Meow, Li Du replied, "No, I spent most of my money trying to save Ah Meow."

The kitten immediately showed its dissent by showing its claws. Unfortunately, its swipe was quickly caught by Li Du.

Li Du was beginning to enjoy the little bug's ability even more. While slowing down time may not directly allow him to profit, the feeling of having that sort of ability was an enjoyment in itself.

Recent events gave him a feeling of 'This one is the son of fortune'.

However, for someone who's unwilling to spend a thousand dollars on a meal, calling himself a son of fortune would perhaps only make him a laughingstock.

Hannah gave him a glare, "That is also another form of entertainment. Why are you taking care of it in the first place? Who knows when the police will arrest you for illegally buying it, how are you going to prove otherwise?"

With a bottle of champagne in one hand, Hans came over and gave his sister a knock on the head, "My little sister, could it be that your breasts took all the nutrients needed for the growth of the brain…"

Having heard this, Li Du almost chocked.

Unsure of what other insanity Hans was capable of sprouting, he interrupted, "We attended another storage auction. This time we were quite lucky and were able to get a Harley."

"You're not kidding me right?"

"You're the landlord, how can I lie to you?"

After confirming it, Hannah immediately became really excited. Taking a moment to enjoy the aroma of the steak, Hannah exclaimed, "This smell is godly, what are you guys waiting for? Let's celebrate."

Li Du ate the pizza first, and in the blink of an eye, the 12 inch pizza soon disappeared in his stomach.

Sensing the meal's smell, the little kitten also continuously struggled for a bite. Unfortunately for it, no one paid it much attention. Since it had also lost its mobility, it could only vent its anger out on Li Du's pants. Soon, Li Du's jeans was torn apart.

However, Li Du didn't seem to care, as his priorities clearly listed the meal on a higher level. Since he had used almost all of his stamina today operating the little bug, that was the best opportunity to restore his energy.

The reason why Hans bought so much food also took his special apatite into consideration.

After finishing the meal, Hannah wanted to look at the Harley, but with the darkness of the night having replaced the daylight, they could only wait for the next day.

On their way back, they had already sent the parts to a Harley specialty store. That type of heavy duty motorcycle required experts to make sure that everything worked.

When she came back from her night shift the next morning, she didn't go to bed, but instead tagged along to see the motorcycle.

Unlike normal girls, Hannah wasn't too interested in beautiful clothes or makeup. Instead, she enjoyed cars, or more specific, sports cars. In fact, her dream was to own a brand-new BMW Z4.

When they arrived at the Harley specialty store, a young man came and greeted him, "Hey Fox, are you here to retrieve your bike? Follow me, that bad boy can't want for the road."

Although the young man was greeting Hans, most of his attention was on Hannah as he showed her his dazzling smile.

Lu Du knew that person, his name was Stephen Chandler. He's a salesman and a mechanic for the store. In addition, he's also one of Hannah's high school friends, and was clearly attracted to her.

It's because of this relation why Hans felt that it was safe for him to assemble the bike. In America, labor was very expensive, and an additional hundred dollars would be the least it would have taken if it was sent to a Harley factory for assembly.

Although specially stores also required payment, but this time, Stephen was very kind and offered to do it for free.

When they came to the maintenance section of the store, a silver beast presented itself.

The first impression that the Harley Street Glide gave off could only be described as overbearing. However, now that the monster was fully assembled, that description should be upgraded to the level of a tyrant.

Everything about the motorcycle was 'over-sized', whether it had to do with the tires, the headlights, the frame, or the sound of the engine.

"This beauty is equipped with Screamin-Eagle Twin-Colled Twin-Cam110 Engine, giving the engine a peak torque of 115 lb-ft. Together with its aluminum alloy rims, specially designed CVO and Airflow accessories, the DaymakerLED headlights, the windshield deflectors, and the Boom! Box radio, this monster is sure to fulfill all your needs for speed and excitement!" Introduced Stephen in a very exaggerated manner.

Li Du had never really studied motorcycles, so he wasn't able to understand anything from that kind of introduction. Instead, he went directly to his most interested topic, "How much will this sell for?"

As a result of Hannah's presence, Stephen was also especially welcoming, "A new model will cost around twenty thousand, but since this is second hand, it should sell for at least twelve thousand."

"Only twelve thousand? I thought that it would have been at least fifteen thousand," remarked Hans

Shaking his head, Stephen explained, "No Fox, you know that I won't lie to you guys. If you also consider that the previous owner also had customized it, then this price will seem quite generous."

"See here, there should be a CVO logo that appears when you shine light onto it, but it has been changed to MG, which is honestly meaningless to anyone other than its previous owner."

"The radio should have 5.25 inch speakers, but it has been changed to 7.5 inch ones. When you ride this, you are not trying to host a concert, so what's the use of such change?"

"Also here, in order to reinforce and stabilize the front, Harley made the front fork 49 mm thick, but the owner reduced it to 35 mm, which, although does make it more ascetic, but also more dangerous."

"Alright, let me try out this bad boy," Hannah interrupted.

Stopping her impatience, Hans asserted, "Let Li go first, this is his effort, so he should be the first to try it out, it's our rule."

Although Li Du really wasn't too interested, he also didn't want to be identified as pretentious , so he didn't decline.

However, he soon ran into a problem. This bike wasn't like his father's Jialing 125, so Li Du wasn't able to find the ignition.

"It's here, under this panel. You should first insert the keys, then start the engine with this touchscreen," Stephen explained patiently.

Thankfully, after getting it working, the rest was like any other motorcycle.

Li Du let go of the breaks and stepped down on the gas. With a loud boom, the best began to sour down the street.

The place that they picked to test the motorcycle was on the outskirts of the town. Flagstaff was a relative small town, and there weren't many cars out at the moment, so the street was especially quiet, allowing him to enjoy the ride to the maximum extent.

Accompanied by the roar of the engine, the trees that lined the road began to sweep past. At this moment, Li Du felt his blood boiling as he immersed himself in the excitement of the acceleration and speed.

Suddenly, the sound of another engine neared followed by the shape of a motorcycle speeding past. In the next moment, it swerved onto his path, cutting him off.

The speed of that motorcycle was especially shocking, and in the blink of an eye, the butt of the motorcycle neared at an astonishing speed. If he couldn't slow down, they were going to crash.

Suddenly, the situation became especially dangerous!
