129 A Hundred Million Dollar Race (1/2)

”What did you say?” Chen Xu asked incredulously. ”You want to race ME? What makes you think you can do that?”

”Why not?” Chen Fan said lightly.

”Haha, Xiao Fan. Don't say I didn't warn you.” Chen Xu laughed out loud and said: ”You might think that I am good for nothing. But I used to compete in the Jin City's equestrian competition, and I even made it to the quarterfinals.

”Plus, have you seen my horse? He is called Caesar and he is one of the most expensive horses you can find in this stable. Twenty thousand yuan per hour of saddle time.

”You have neither the skills nor a good horse, what made you think you can compete against me?”

Chen Xu chuckled and then shook his head.

A few cousins surrounding Chen Xu also laughed at Chen Fan.

”Indeed. Mr. Chen Xu is right.” Paul put in.

”Caesar is one of the most expensive horses in our stable. He is purebred and is worth over fifty thousand US yuan. His parents were champion horses from Coolmore and used to win the first place in short distance galloping. He was born to be a winner.

”Plus, Mr. Chen Xu is a trained rider and used to partake in competitions. You have no chance of winning the race. ”

Hearing paul's expert opinion, everyone was convinced that Chen Fan would lose.

An Ya tugged at Chen Fan's sleeve and said worriedly: ”Xiao Fan, forget about it. Don't let him get to you.”

To her surprise, Chen Fan insisted: ”So what? Even if you are the Olympic champion, I won't be afraid of you.”

”You are full of yourself.” Chen Xu sneered. ”Well, if you really want a race, let's up the stakes.”

So saying, he fished out a car key and said: ”This is the new Lamborghini Gallardo my dad had bought for me. If I lose, you can keep my car. If you lose, you will buy me a Porsche 911, how's that?”

Everyone gasped after hearing how high the stakes were. Even some bystanders who had overheard the conversation were shocked.

The stakes in this race were luxury cars that were worth over three hundred million. Never once had the guests of the Zi Yun Club seen such outrageous bet for any races since the club's conception. If the match really followed through, it would be sensational news for not only the club members but also the elites of the Jin City.

”Bah! What am I thinking, you are not old enough to have a driver's license yet? What's the point in racing you?”

Chen Xu pretended that he had regretted his choice as he put the car keys back into his pocket, however, his face wore a smug smile even as he did so.

He never expected Chen Fan to agree to the race, and he only wanted to show off his new car in front of everyone.

To his surprise, Chen Fan nodded and said: ”Very well, we have a race.”

”What?” Chen Xu was taken by surprise.

”Although I don't own a car, my mother will for sure fulfill my obligation for me. She will buy you a Porsche 911.” Chen Fan shrugged.

Members of the Chen family looked to Chen Fan as if he was looking at a crazy person.

How could a newbie without a good horse challenge a recreational league rider with a champion class mount?

Since not even the professional riding coach thought that Chen Fan would win, no one would put their money on Chen Fan.

”Xiao Fan?” An Ya exclaimed. However, after seeing the determination in Chen Fan's eyes, she became quiet.

Ever since they were kids, she had spoiled her brother. Regardless of how stupid Chen Fan's decisions were, she never stopped him once. However, she would come to Chen Fan's rescue whenever her little brother got himself into trouble because of his decisions.

”So be it. If we lose the bet, we will just have to earn that Porsche back.” An Ya thought to herself.

”Very well, we have a race”

As the reality started setting in, Chen Xu was elated.

He knew that her auntie would fulfill her son's obligation for him. She was not in the habit of owing other people money.

The promise of finally owning his dream car, the Porsche 911 gave Chen Xu a rush of exhilaration.

”When I get the car, I will give it to her as a gift. I wonder if a Porsche is enough to make her spread her legs for me.” Chen Xu thought pleasedly.

He was charmed by an actress lately and the girl had refused all of his gifts so far. However, he doubted that there was any cold heart that a million yuan gift could not unlock.

Once both parties had agreed to the race, they started to prepare for the match.

The news of the match shocked all the guests of the club. They gathered around to watch this high stake race.

”I know Chen Xu. He was not a professional, but he was able to handle himself well in the recreational league. That league was created by a bunch of spoiled brats, but their riding skills are far superior to most people.

”His mount is called Caesar and was the fastest horse in running a short distance, plus, he was of a champion lineage.

”Let it be skills or the horses, the other boy had no advantage whatsoever. He is going to lose the race.”

The onlookers chatted with each other about the outlook of the race.

Some of the onlookers even started a pool and the rates for Chen Fan's victory was 100 to 1. In other words, no one was betting their money on Chen Fan.

”Brother, who do you think will win?”

Chen Ning asked interestedly.

She was wearing a custom tailored riding outfit with black riding boots and a red vest. The tightly fit clothes brought out the womanly curve but also gave her a touch of masculinity.

Half of the male onlookers glanced at her surreptitiously.

”Chen Xu was not a professional rider like us but was skillful in his own right. As for Chen Fan…” Chen An furrowed his brows. He conceded that the boy puzzled him.

Ever since Chen Fan showed up at the gathering, he had been making arrogant and conceitful remarks. He either has strong backing, or he had become an outright idiot.

”He is just bluffing. Trying to be a tough guy.” Chen Ning sneered.
