Chapter 223 - I want him...DEAD! (1/2)

Michael then made his way down the elevator with a black guitar case strapped on his back.

”Summer is approaching,” Michael said as he started humming in a summery tone.

Ding!

The elevator door opened before him and Michael walked out and made his way before a masculine looking car.

”My parents are truly rich, huh? Is this a new car?” Michael said as he stared at the vehicle before him.

The vehicle before him is a black Jeep 'Rebel' with a bit of red here and there.

”But why did mom bought me a car though? Was there an occasion or something that I did not know of?” Michael tilted his head and slowly made his way inside the car, and put the guitar case on the backseat.

”Huh? What the heck?” Michael suddenly realized a problem the second he sat down.

”What the heck!? How do I freaking start this stupid vehicle!?”

He suddenly felt frustrated, because in the many years during his travel as a world-renowned assassin, he had never experienced something like this.

”There's not a freaking keyhole or even a start button! Whoever designed this car, f*ck him!”

Suddenly, he felt like an idiot all this time on looking for how to start this car when he could have just called Tom from the beginning.

Meanwhile.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Tom looked at the phone beside him and saw that Michael is calling him.

”Ohh? Why is he calling me when he had just left?”

He mumbled and took the phone and answered it, ”What is it, son?”

[Uhh...I have a bit of a problem here] Michael replied from the other side of the phone.

”So what is it?” said Tom while his eyes are still focused on the tv show in front of him.

[I..uhh. How do I start the car?]

”...”

[Old man? Are you there?]

It got quiet for a few seconds, then Tom's eyes widened in disbelief before he burst into a fit of laughter.

”Hahaha! Oh my god! Honey! I told you that Michael wouldn't know how to start the friggin car! I won the bet! Mwahaha!”

On the other side of the phone.

”Old man? Are you there?”

Michael looked at the phone in his hand when he's not hearing anything from the other side.

[Hahaha! Oh my god! Honey! I told you that Michael wouldn't know how to start the friggin car! I won the bet! Mwahaha!]

Then Michael just heard Tom laughing his ass off from the other side of the call.

[Ughh...here's a hundred bucks!]

Michael heard Alice groaning in displeasure from the other end of the call. He rigidly stretched his neck as he suddenly felt really annoyed, and at the same time, irritated at the fact he had once ridden at least over a hundred of different car models and specifications, and up until now, he had never encountered a car like this before!

”Are you done?” Michael said as his voice turned icy.

[Hahaha, Oh my god. It's a voice-activated car brat. Just say, 'Engine Start' towards the steering wheel. That's it]

[Kwahaha! You just made my day son!]

Tom tried to stifle his laughter, but in the end, he still couldn't help but burst into a laugh.

Click!

Michael quickly ended the call as he doesn't want to hear Tom's annoying voice a second longer.

Micheal leaned his face towards the steering wheel and said with a little bit of embarrassment on his face.

”Engine...start”

Vroom!

The moment Michael said those words, the vehicle quickly brimmed into life like a sleeping beast that had just awakened from a deep sleep.
