This Spiritual Energy is Lethal!-Chapter 120 - Three Keys

Chapter 120 -120 Three Keys

Deep Anchor District, Luck Bay.

Along the narrow coastline, the white sand was lapped by the azure sea. Looking into the distance, one could see Deep Anchor Port.

The straight highway beside the coast was a natural racetrack. Lucina told Chen Ke that exhilarating drag races were held here every night.

Chen Ke did not understand racing. In his mind, racing was about running in circles and seeing who finished first.

But Lucina seemed very familiar with these street racing methods, explaining various racing rules to Chen Ke all the way. Of course, she did not hide her admiration for Boss Tang either.

Luck Bay was not far from the residence of Boss Tang’s gang, but walking there would still take about half an hour.

Before stealing the car, they had to meet with a third partner, as Lucina had mentioned.

Chen Ke felt it was very inappropriate to involve outsiders in this kind of thing, especially since it concerned a bank robbery, and women generally couldn’t keep secrets. He was worried this might expose their plans prematurely.

“Don’t worry, Chen Ke. Your concerns are valid, but I’ve thought about that too,” Lucina laughed. “I lied to her that we’re stealing cars just to make money, and I even promised her a 5% cut.”

“5% is not small. How much did you promise her for the three cars?” Chen Ke scratched his head.

“Half a million union coins,” Lucina said.

“5% of 500,000… 25,000 union coins. Hmm… I’m not sure how much those three cars are worth, but the price seems reasonable,” Chen Ke nodded.

Spending 25,000 union coins to secure three cars would definitely pay off after the bank heist.

“Okay, tell me about this partner of yours. I don’t like working with people I’m not familiar with,” Chen Ke said with his hands in his pockets, his black tie fluttering in the sea breeze.

Perhaps it was due to the geographical location, but even before April, the temperature had noticeably risen. The Pacific monsoon circulation brought the United Federation citizens a taste of summer, with temperatures around 30 degrees, several months early. Chen Ke’s back was already somewhat sweaty.

“Her name is Lipo. She is quite attractive to men; don’t get enchanted by her,” Lucina nudged Chen Ke with her elbow.

Chen Ke whistled. In fact, ever since he had arrived in this world, he had never focused his attention on women.

His goals were clear, time was pressing, and troubles were continuous. Anyone who dared stand in his way would be cut down face-to-face without idle talk.

Lucina didn’t know Chen Ke’s thoughts. They walked on, and as the windbreak trees along the street turned into rows of white houses on the hillside, suddenly, from the road ahead, came the screeching of engines.

Then, four modified cars drifted out of the corner, emitting an exhilarating sound of tires screeching against the pavement, trailing long plumes of tire smoke as they sped towards the end of the street, quickly leaving only red taillights visible.

Chen Ke was caught off guard and realized he hadn’t been able to see what those cars looked like, and now he could barely remember their colors.

They were really fast.

“It looks like they are racing,” Chen Ke said to Lucina.

“People race in Luck Valley every day. It gets even more lively here after sundown,” Lucina smiled.

“I hope Boss Tang will still have other cars to drive after we steal his, otherwise he’ll have to stay away from the racetrack for a while,” Chen Ke shook his head.

“He hasn’t raced for a long time, not since his brother Brain left. That’s not what we need to discuss,” Lucina patted Chen Ke’s chest lightly with her fist.

They continued along the street where the race cars had zoomed past, going up a gentle slope. Many low houses were built on the hillside, and some barefoot kids were playing soccer.

Their skin color, like Lucina’s, was chocolate brown; Chen Ke guessed they were probably immigrants from Latin America.

When they reached a dilapidated large house, Lucina signaled for Chen Ke to wait as she approached and knocked on the door alone.

Before long, an obese elderly woman opened the door. Lucina greeted her warmly with a hug, conversing in a Latin Spanish dialect that Chen Ke couldn’t understand, then both Lucina and the woman entered the house.

Chen Ke stood under the tree, arms crossed, pacing back and forth impatiently. Locals passed by on the street from time to time, all of them Hispanic, wearing headscarves, their bare arms covered in tattoos.

Their gazes were unfriendly. This looked like their turf, and Chen Ke, as an Asian, was a rare and unwelcome sight here.

Several race cars sped past, creating a wave of heat. Although Chen Ke didn’t feel hot, his clothes soaked in sweat were still a bother. He took off his jacket and loosened his tie.

He picked up his phone, initially wanting to call Lucina, but hesitated before deciding against it. There must be a reason she hadn’t involved him yet; all he could do was wait.

Hmm… That kid jumping rope on the street corner had made it to a hundred and thirty…

The huge cloud above finally drifted from the right to the left…

On one side of the big house was a basketball hoop, and two people were playing basketball… Their poses looked like…

Waiting was an extremely frustrating thing, especially since Chen Ke had a countdown timer in the corner of his eye. The slow ticking of each second only amplified his irritation.

Should’ve done like Hall and bought a PSP to keep in my pocket.

Just when Chen Ke felt he couldn’t bear it any longer, Lucina finally came out of the big house, followed by a stunning beauty.

The girl wore jeans and a red tank top, her black, slightly curly hair long and flowing, her figure curvy. From a distance, all you could see were two round shapes. She was slightly taller than Lucina.

“This is my good sister, Lipo.”

“My name is Chen Ke… um.”

Lucina, Lipo, and Chen Ke met under the tree for a brief introduction, which was really just sharing names.

“Chen Ke? Are you from Rising Sun or Fei Huang Republic?” Lipo asked with a smile.

“I’m from Fei Huang Republic,” Chen Ke replied.

“He seems a bit stiff, is he new? How good is his driving?” Lipo turned to look at Lucina.

“Don’t worry about that, Lipo, he can handle this,” Lucina glanced at Chen Ke as if seeking affirmation.

Chen Ke nodded, saying nothing.

“Everyone’s here, let’s get to the real work now,” Lucina clapped her hands.

“What’s the plan?” asked Chen Ke.

“We go in, find the garage, then drive the car out. That’s the plan,” Lucina laughed.

“It seems you’ve forgotten something, the car keys… This isn’t a movie, Lucina, without keys, starting the car is impossible,” Chen Ke spread his hands.

“Check this out,” Lipo pulled three keys from her jeans pocket and dangled them in front of Chen Ke.

“Lipo took care of the keys for me last night; she’s the starter girl for street racing…” Lucina explained.

Chen Ke took a deep breath. Lucina had previously told him about the stakes of street racing, which included money and the opponent’s car…

Before the race, racers would park their cars around the venue and hand over the car keys to the starter girl as proof of participation.

Taking advantage of this, Lipo had used a piece of clay to imprint the shape of the keys and made duplicate keys…

“Good, now all that’s left is to get the cars out,” Chen Ke spread his hands again.

Lipo distributed the keys to Chen Ke and Lucina, explaining which car each key belonged to, then the three of them headed toward Boss Tang’s turf together.
