Arthur looked at the two girls and said, "Wanna go for a drive?"
"Sure," the manager nodded with a smile.
"You?" He turned to the salesgirl.
"Me?" She pointed at herself.
"Do you think I'm looking at a ghost?"
"I'd be happy to accompany you," she replied with a smile.
The Bugatti La Voiture Noire was parked outside. Arthur had the car key and as he clicked the button...
Beep! Beep!
The car beeped in response. With a smile, he ran his hand over the car's surface. It was smooth and had a comfortable feel to it. The vehicle was sleek, powerful, and incredibly stylish.
Its body was coated in a glossy jet-black color, exuding an aura of elegance and sophistication. The car boasted a curvaceous and aerodynamic silhouette, with flowing lines that created a sense of grace and speed. The front of the La Voiture Noire featured the iconic Bugatti grille, while the piercing LED headlights added a touch of modernity. The rear end of the car was muscular and well-defined.
The overall design of the Bugatti La Voiture Noire is a seamless combination of timeless beauty and futuristic allure, making it a true automotive masterpiece.
As Arthur pondered how to accommodate both the manager and the salesgirl in a car with only two seats, an idea suddenly struck him.
"Bring out a Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge."
...
After a few minutes, the trio set out in the Rolls-Royce.
*Ding!*
After an hour of driving, a ringing sound emanated from Arthur's phone. He drove the Rolls-Royce back to the car showroom and dropped off the two girls.
"...T-Thanks for the ride."
"It...was fun!"
"They both were awkward. 'Why were we even going for a drive?' That question rang in their minds as Arthur didn't even glance at them and left.
[ElectraCore shares have been transferred to your name. The CEO of the company will contact you anytime.
ElectraCore's total assets are worth 100 billion, while Global Trade Alliance's assets are worth 500 billion. Was it worth it?]
The message made Arthur's lip twitch. "What worth? Am I a petty man who will sleep with anyone just for money? Beauty or not, I will only be intimate with those for whom I feel genuine affection. If I were to sleep with random girls, I fear I would expose myself to the risk of sexually transmitted diseases or attract individuals who are only interested in my wealth."
He didn't know who he was saying this to, but he spoke these words aloud.
As he arrived at the Gentle Lake District, the guards were already astonished at the sight of numerous sports cars entering the villa.
This car may have appeared more modest compared to the others, but it was still a million-dollar vehicle. The guards gathered their courage and blocked the car.
"May I know who you are, sir?"
"Yo!" Arthur rolled down the window and raised his hand.
The guard was left speechless...
He had gone out in a cab and now returned with a fleet of sports cars! What a life!
The guards didn't dare to keep Arthur waiting and hastily opened the gate. Arthur drove inside and parked the car in the villa's garage.
The garage was already filled with several vehicles. Arthur had only driven the Rolls-Royce because of the reward; otherwise, he had no interest in it.
He took out the Bugatti La Voiture Noire and got behind the wheel. "Time for some shopping," he murmured to himself.
As Arthur settled into the comfortable seat, he was enveloped in an atmosphere of refined elegance. The seats, expertly upholstered in soft leather, provided both comfort and support, contouring to Arthur's body for a personalized fit. The luxurious leather extended to the door panels and dashboard, creating a cohesive and opulent interior.
The dashboard of the La Voiture Noire seamlessly blended modern technology with traditional design elements. The controls were thoughtfully arranged in a smooth and understated manner, ensuring effortless usability. Subtle ambient lighting added an air of sophistication, casting a gentle glow throughout the cabin.
He gripped the steering wheel firmly and turned the key. The engine roared to life, and the Bugatti surged forward, unleashing its impressive horsepower.
The ride was incredibly smooth and comfortable. Arthur couldn't help but feel a rush of adrenaline as the car effortlessly glided along the road. Within minutes, he arrived at the gates.
"Heading out again, sir?" the security guard asked, attempting to strike up a friendly conversation.
"Going shopping," Arthur replied, his eyes fixed on the opening gate.
"Have a safe journey."
"Mhmm." Arthur nodded and drove out of the Gentle Lake District. The security guards watched with a mix of admiration and envy as the Bugatti disappeared from sight.
"I don't think I could ever afford a car like that, even if I worked hard for five lifetimes," one guard murmured wistfully.

The Bugatti La Voiture Noire attracted a great deal of attention as it pulled up to the building. Arthur closed the windows, blocking out the gazes of the people who were staring at the car in awe.
Some onlookers couldn't resist taking photos, capturing the magnificent vehicle in all its glory. Others whispered among themselves, expressing their admiration and envy. The presence of the Bugatti on the road commanded respect, as cars quickly moved aside to give it a clear path, as if it were an emergency vehicle.
Arthur drove the car at a leisurely pace, maintaining a speed of 60-80 mph. He exuded an air of confidence and calmness as he navigated the streets, enjoying the attention the car brought him.
After approximately an hour, he arrived at Harmony Plaza, a massive building that stood as the city's largest shopping mall, boasting assets worth over 60 billion. The plaza offered a wide range of shops, cinemas, boutiques, department stores, and even a photo studio. It was renowned for its ability to provide anything one could desire. Its reputation echoed the saying, "From salt to gold, all goods are sold."
As the Bugatti parked in front of the building, bystanders couldn't help but marvel at its grandeur and luxury.
"Look, a Bugatti! It's so majestic and luxurious. It looks incredibly cool. I wish I could own a car like that..."
"Own this car? Do you have any idea how much it's worth? Over 10 million dollars. Even if you sold your entire house, I doubt you could afford it..."
"Hiss! More than 10 million! I haven't even seen 1 million in my life, let alone 10."
People gathered around the Bugatti, marveling at its design and taking photos, all the while maintaining a respectful distance. They admired the car's elegance and clicked pictures.
[Ding!]
[Now it's time to rise and shine. What will you choose?]
[1. Stay in the car and shout at the crowd to disperse. Reward: Title 'Shy and Introvert.']
[2. Exit the car and quickly make your way to the shopping mall, even attempting to hide your face. Reward: Title 'The one who fears the crowd.']
[3. Exit the car, lean against it, and strike a pose. Allow people to take photos with you and the car to showcase your wealth. Reward: +10 appearance]
"The rewards are different this time..." Arthur understood the concept of titles, but appearance points? It seemed like it would enhance his attractiveness and charm. He couldn't help but speculate.
However, he wasn't one to shy away from the crowd, nor was he concerned about titles. With that in mind, he decided to exit the car.
"Look, the driver is stepping out!"
"Driver? He must be the owner! We better not offend him."
"Look, he's striking a pose! He's definitely a wealthy second-generation."
"Wow, he's so handsome, isn't he?"
"I would die to marry someone as handsome and rich as him."
Girls and boys alike gazed at Arthur with admiration. He took out his car key and pressed the button, causing the car to emit a beep.
Arthur smiled at the crowd, allowing them to take his photo with the car as a backdrop.
*Ding!*
After his phone vibrated, Arthur proceeded to enter the shopping mall. Several security guards were stationed at the entrance, and upon seeing him, they immediately bowed in respect.
"Sir, we will ensure the safety of your car!"
"Don't worry, sir. We have security cameras installed here. Your car will be well-protected."
They assured him with confidence. Arthur nodded, a smile gracing his lips. "If I find my car untouched when I return, I will reward both of you generously."
"Absolutely, sir!"
"Thank you, sir!"
The security guards became even more attentive, and their enthusiasm heightened. They temporarily left their posts by the entrance to focus on guarding the car.
Arthur paid them no mind. Where there is wealth, there are always sycophants!
