“I still have another longevity fruit,” Leo enjoyed the surprised expressions on the twin sisters’ faces.
In the Lynd family, there were two longevity fruits. Leo only took one out. Since Mark Lynch wanted to see the actual item, Devin Lynd would bring the other one.
While the longevity fruit didn’t have a significant effect on young people, it had a tremendous impact on the elderly. It could improve their physical condition, eliminate toxins, and rejuvenate cell vitality, effectively extending life by three to five years.
Mark Lynch’s request was undoubtedly for the Lynch family’s old man. Extending the old man’s life by three to five years was equivalent to adding three to five more glorious years to the Lynch family’s foundation.
If other top families found out Leo still had a longevity fruit, they would undoubtedly go crazy.
“When and where is the race?” Leo asked Irene.
Irene replied, “The race is scheduled for three o’clock this afternoon, at the Eighteen Turns Racetrack on the outskirts of the northern city. Both sides need to bring their stakes. We’ll meet at the entrance of the track at two-thirty, and the race will start promptly at three.”
The stakes from Mark Lynch’s side were the transfer deed for the Ice Spirit Sakura Blossom cultivation base, while Irene’s side included a two billion cash check and a longevity fruit.
“Okay, let’s get ready for the race at three!” Leo naturally had no objections. He wanted to finish the race quickly and return to Langstel.
After breakfast, Leo called Devin Lynd, asking him to deliver the second longevity fruit kept in the Lynd family.
In the afternoon, on the outskirts of the northern city, at the entrance of the Eighteen Turns Racetrack on Dragon Mountain.
The Eighteen Turns Racetrack was quite famous in the capital’s racing circles. It was a professional track built jointly by wealthy racing enthusiasts and investment institutions.
The name Eighteen Turns came from the eighteen extremely dangerous turns on the entire Dragon Mountain. Even top-notch racers couldn’t handle them within the allotted time.
The track’s total length was sixty kilometers, with surveillance cameras installed every five hundred meters. Drones would film the entire race, allowing the audience to see every scene clearly on large screens.
During non-race times, Dragon Mountain was entirely closed. If someone wanted to use it, the venue fee alone would amount to two million, making it unaffordable for those without money.
At two-thirty in the afternoon, Leo, Madame Godwin, and the Leighton twins arrived punctually at the reception area at the entrance of the racetrack.
Just as Leo and the others had gotten out of their cars, two luxury cars approached.
One was a Shelby, and the other was a Mercedes G-Class.
The cars stopped, and five people got out.
From the Shelby came Mark Lynch and an old man in a gray robe. From the Mercedes G-Class, Maniwa Koken, a young man around thirty wearing a kimono, and the expressionless female bodyguard descended.
Mark Lynch walked up to the Leighton twins, and his gaze fell on the jade box in Michelle’s hands. He asked, “Did you bring the thing?”
“Of course, the transfer deed for the Ice Spirit Sakura Blossom cultivation base?” Michelle countered.
Mark Lynch gestured to the old man behind him, and the old man stepped forward, opening the briefcase in his hands.
Inside the case was the authorized transfer deed for the Ice Spirit Sakura Blossom cultivation base.
Irene is a meticulous person. To prevent Mark Lynch from playing tricks, she took the transfer deed from the box and carefully inspected it.
After Irene’s examination, the transfer deed was found to be in order. All that was needed was to sign both parties’ names in the final blank space and press their fingerprints for the transfer to take effect.
After placing the transfer deed back in the box, Irene nodded to Leo and the others, saying, “The transfer deed is fine.”
“It’s time for you to present the stakes,” Mark Lynch said, his eyes carrying a greedy look as he looked at the jade box in Michelle’s hands.
Michelle opened the jade box, revealing a fruit inside that was as red and translucent as a peach. A strange fragrance wafted from the box, invigorating the senses.
“Is this the longevity fruit?” Mark Lynch’s eyes sparkled with an unusual light, intensifying the heat and greed in his gaze.
As Leo speculated, the reason Mark Lynch specifically added the longevity fruit to the stakes was to please his grandfather. If the grandfather could live a few more years with the longevity fruit, the Lynch family would have even greater development. Additionally, due to the longevity fruit, resources in the family would undoubtedly tilt toward his branch.
In Mark Lynch’s view, the importance of the longevity fruit was no less than that of the two billion cash check.
The old man standing beside Mark Lynch stepped forward, took the longevity fruit, inspected it, and then nodded at Mark Lynch.
After retrieving the longevity fruit, Michelle handed the two billion cash check to Mark Lynch. “This is a two billion cash check. You can check it.”
However, Mark Lynch waved his hand. “No need to verify the check. I trust the Leighton family, and I trust you, the Leighton family’s twin sisters.”
Michelle put away the check and the longevity fruit, then said, “Since both parties have verified without issues, let’s proceed with the race. Who will be representing your side?”
Mark Lynch’s face revealed a smile as he looked towards the young Japanese man, making a gesture of invitation. “Mr. Nakashima, I’ll leave it to you.”
Mark Lynch’s face exuded strong confidence, an expression that suggested victory belonged to him. Car enthusiasts, who had been waiting here, showed extremely excited expressions upon seeing Hiroto Ieshige.
“Oh my, I thought I was mistaken just now. It turns out it’s really the Asian car god, Hiroto Ieshige!”
“Hiroto Ieshige has always been my idol. He has won the F1 World Championship for three consecutive times!”
“I never expected that Boss Lynch would actually bring Hiroto Ieshige here. It seems this race is not suspenseful at all. Boss Lynch is definitely the winner.”
Irene and Michelle, however, remained relatively calm. They had prepared themselves mentally, although they didn’t know that Mark Lynch had invited the Asian car god, Hiroto Ieshige.
Hiroto Ieshige had a basic understanding of Chinese and, hearing the discussions around him and sensing the fervent gazes, couldn’t help but feel a bit proud. In his mind, he thought: You Chinese people, it’s your honor to witness me in person.
Hiroto Ieshige walked to Mark Lynch’s side, a proud expression on his face. He said, “Mark, rest assured, in this race, the only possible winner is me.”
Having won three consecutive F1 World Championships gave Hiroto Ieshige enough pride. He simply didn’t believe that anyone here could match his racing skills.
Moreover, the reason Hiroto Ieshige came to participate in the race was entirely due to Maniwa Koken. He liked Maniwa Koken and wanted to establish a connection with the Koken family.
