"Have you seen Tokyo Drift?"
"Oh, yes! I love that movie!" The young boy answered happily.
Alex laughed. "Hahaha, that's good. Now tell me what's your total college tuition and the price of this car."
"Huh? Uhh… What's with the sudden question, sir?" The boy asked.
Alex looked at him and said with a smile, "I'll pay it for you."
"Why?" The boy was stupefied and asked.
"Why, you don't want me to?" Alex asked back.
The boy smiled awkwardly. "I mean… who in their right mind would reject such an offer… but… this car… I don't think I can sell it."
"Why is that?" Alex asked calmly while keeping an eye on the assassins.
"My father gave it to me on my eighteenth birthday before he passed away. It has memor—"
Thwack!
"Ow. Sir why'd you hit—"
"Bozo, I can smell the entire ocean in the backseat. Just one sniff at the seat cover is sure to get me high on ten different types of opioids. Is this how you take care of your father's precious gift?" Alex reprimanded this guy.
"I- well- I am sorry…" the boy was almost on the verge of tears as realization dawned on him.
Alex wasn't wrong when he said the backseat smelled like the ocean.
Too many people have had sex in there.
The reason this happened was because the boy worked the most at night as it paid well and there were a lot of customers outside nightclubs.
These people from the clubs were drunk 99% of the time and the 1% they weren't, it were those guys or girls who were sober on purpose to take advantage of the others.
At a young age of 19, the boy had seen some crazy things while driving a taxi.
Alex ruffled the guy's hair and said, "it's okay. You're gonna leave the taxi business ___?"
"…?" The boy wondered why Alex didn't finish his sentence.
"?" Alex showed a confused face.
"?¿?¿" the boy showed an even more confused face.
Thwack!
"Ow."
"I am waiting for you to tell me your name," Alex said.
"Oh… hehe, my bad… it's Carl without a K," the boy chuckled awkwardly and said.
"Karl without K? So Arl?" Alex was confused but said nonetheless.
"No—"
Screeeeeeech!
The two's stupid talks came to an end as a biker pulled up to the taxi window when it took an exit from the busy city streets and entered the freeway.
Alex turned to the side and looking at the biker, waved his hand and said, "hi."
Pui!
Crash!
"So anyway, Arl without a K. That's quite the name you have there," Alex turned to the boy as the biker's tire exploded and he crashed onto the barriers at the side.
Alex had a silencer available in the shop menu of the system, he equipped his pistol with it and shot the guy's tire without the kid noticing.
"Uhh… sir, someone seems to have crashed back there." It didn't go unnoticed by Arl and he said.
"Don't worry about it. Anyway Arl, you're a good boy, I'll pay for your college. In return, what I want from you is loyalty and hard work."
"What!?" Arl was taken aback. He failed to understand what Alex was up to.
"I am offering you a job, Arl. Do you not want it?" Alex said while keeping an eye on the cars behind him which were going to hit this taxi any minute.
"No, that's not… oof… I am sorry, sir… I am unable to process anything right now…" Arl said honestly.
"For the next thirty minutes, I want you to keep the taxi on the freeway. Make roundabouts if needed, just don't stop, okay Arl?" Alex said and put his head out of the taxi window.
"But sir—" Arl didn't get the opportunity to reject Alex's offer.
'Dang, what have I put myself into? Also… it's not Arl but Carl…'
Carl wanted to correct Alex for so long but the situation didn't let him.
Alex trusted this young boy and somehow managed to get on top of his car.
He then stood up and looked at the several cars at the back.
'One gunshot from them and I am probably gonna have my subscription to breathing oxygen cancelled.'
Alex thought and smiling, looked at the guys in the car and gestured to them to come closer, provoking them.
The cars accelerated and the guys in the passenger seats got out of the window and aimed their guns at Alex.
"Heh heh," Alex chuckled and jumped as high and far as he could from Carl's taxi.
The assassins were taken aback by Alex's sudden move and before they could even react, with a loud bam, Alex crashed on the roof of the center car.
Without wasting any time, Alex pulled out a SMG from his inventory and,
Da-Da-Da-Da-Da-Da!
He opened fire at the guys in the car, especially targeting the driver, and killed them.
The car's balance toppled with the driver having made a sharp turn.
Alex held onto the car from above and looked for an opening to jump onto another car.
However, the guys in the other car were ready and aiming at Alex. He would be killed the moment he tried to jump on the other cars.
"Tch." Alex clicked his tongue.
He pulled out the guy from the passenger seat with one powerful force and threw him away.
The guy's body came under a car and his head burst open, a scene pretty grotesque to look at.
Hitting the gym and getting physically powerful let Alex do what he just did.
Once the guy was away, Alex quickly got inside the car and opening the door of the driver's seat, kicked the dead driver out.
The other passengers were dead and Alex didn't have to worry about them suddenly killing him.
He took the wheel and turned the radio up to play Tokyo Drift.
Ting! Ting! Ting! Ting! TingTing! Ting Ging Ging Ging!
Laughing out loud, Alex accelerated the car and looking to his side, at the enemies, sang, "I wonder if you know how they live in Tokyo~"
Da-Da-Da-Da-Da-Da!
Like a maniac, while singing, Alex took out his SMG and opened fire on the enemy cars beside him.
One hand on the steering wheel, he weaved the car to the side and hit the bikers, immediately making them crash onto the side barriers.
"If you see me, then you mean it, then you know you have to go~," Alex made his hand move like a wave and continued to sing.
"FAST AND FURIYAAAAAS!"
Screeeeeeech!
The car drifted and accelerated forwards again.
Alex's brain had short-circuited due to the adrenaline rush he was having.
His car finally was beside Carl's while the Ting Ting Ting rang out loud on the radio.
Carl naturally turned to look at the loud noise coming beside him and was shocked to see Alex there.
"FAST AND FURIYAAAAAS!" Alex yelled while vibing with the song.
"What the fuck…" Carl was completely dumbfounded.
Alex pulled a dead body from the back and put him on the driver's seat to keep the car accelerated and the steering locked.
Alex then made his way to the passenger seat and waving at Carl, jumped inside his car.
"WHAAAA!" Carl was surprised and nearly crashed the car.
Alex laughed at this scene and went to the passenger seat again.
He turned the radio on this car as well, continuing the same song.
DuDuDuDuDuDuDuDu!
The two didn't have time to converse as there was a chopper coming towards them.
At this moment, Alex heard a notification in his head.
[Ding!]
