Hades, the Urban Legend

Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Special Effects

Yang Chen felt somewhat helpless. If it was just those two cars ahead of him, he was confident that with his exceptional driving skills, he could find an opportunity to overtake them and leave them behind. However, when Yang Chen caught sight of the car behind him, he had no choice but to give up. It was a fiery red Porsche 911!

This Porsche, with over forty years of history, had undergone numerous updates and changes. Despite this, its core technology had remained virtually unchanged, showcasing its unparalleled level of sophistication.

What's more, this 911 had clearly been modified. Both its chassis and aerodynamic-enhancing components had been significantly upgraded. It was definitely not the entry-level 911 used by wannabes to show off.

With his BMW M3 trailing behind by seventy to eighty kilometers per hour in terms of top speed alone, there was no way Yang Chen could shake them off.

However, upon seeing these cars, Yang Chen also came to a realization. These guys were definitely not part of a robbery street racing gang. Anyone who could afford these cars certainly wasn't short on cash. It seemed like they were just bored rich kids out for a joyride, looking to toy with his small sports car.

Once again lamenting the state of the world where kids were causing trouble instead of focusing on their studies, Yang Chen couldn't be bothered to fight them. He decided it was better to avoid trouble altogether. Thus, he slowed down, intending to let them pass first.

However, things didn't go as planned. Before Yang Chen could decrease his speed, the Porsche behind him began honking its horn. Following suit, the two cars in front also started to slow down, sticking close to his car and refusing to move away. According to the current laws in Zhonghai, if the car behind collided with the cars in front, the owner of the rear car would be liable for all damages. So, in the current situation, if Yang Chen collided with the two cars in front, he would have to compensate two people. However, if the Porsche behind him collided with him, he would only receive compensation from one person. Hence, this deal would definitely leave Yang Chen at a loss!

After understanding the mindset of these spoiled brats, a wicked smile crept onto Yang Chen's lips. How twisted their sense of amusement was... When it came to driving, he might not claim to be the world's best, but he was definitely top-notch. Back in the day, he had driven numerous prestigious cars on the Nürburgring circuit in Germany, and most of them had come close to breaking records.

After a quick calculation, Yang Chen decisively decided to give these guys a hard hit. It was a lesson learned through experience. Since their parents hadn't taught them well, it was up to this young uncle to step in.

In just a moment of thought, Yang Chen's hands were already in action: clutch, brakes, handbrake, and a sharp turn of the steering wheel! After a series of dazzling adjustments, the entire M3 performed a 180-degree drift turn!

"Squeal..."

The tires screeched against the asphalt, and the white smoke stood out vividly in the night! The red taillights left behind a beautiful and swift red streak. As the M3 surged forward once again, it was now heading backward directly towards the Porsche 911 behind!

This sudden turn of events left the drivers of the surrounding cars dumbfounded. How did he do that?! Drifting?! Did he think he was Takumi Fujiwara from Initial D?!

However, instinctively, the driver of the Porsche in the rear realized that this guy was about to crash into him at over 100 kilometers per hour!

The two roaring cars seemed like two raging projectiles, on the brink of a violent collision head-on! The Porsche, traveling at over 160 kilometers per hour, had almost no time to hesitate. The driver could only yank the steering wheel and veer the car towards the roadside parking lane!

What sent shivers down the spine of several drivers was that the BMW M3 showed absolutely no intention of changing direction! It just plowed straight through that lane!

If the Porsche hadn't swerved in time, it would have resulted in a catastrophic accident with severe injuries, total wreckage of the vehicles, or even one of them being crushed into a pancake!

Cold sweat began to form on the owners of the other cars. Was this guy playing with his life? Was he not afraid of death?!

The M6 and the F430 in front both came to a halt, pulling over to the side of the road. Two teenagers dressed in branded T-shirts stepped out, their expressions somewhat hostile as they blocked the lane ahead.

Yang Chen leisurely turned the car around and parked it by the roadside. He then got out of the car and walked towards the two individuals. He knew they wouldn't move unless he explained the situation.

The owner of the Porsche 911 also stepped out of her car, much to Yang Chen's surprise—it was a girl. However, her appearance was quite unconventional.

She wore a pink mushroom-like wig, a white cartoon T-shirt, and ripped denim shorts. What caught attention were her skull-shaped earrings, and her bracelets and necklace, all adorned with silver crosses.

Despite her eccentric attire, her face was fair and delicate, and her eyes already held a hint of youthful charm. However, her figure hadn't fully developed yet; she still looked like a teenager, probably in high school.

The girl, with her lively eyes, stared directly at Yang Chen as he approached. When he reached her, she suddenly extended a fair little hand adorned with a purple butterfly tattoo, revealing cute tiger teeth as she crisply smiled, "I'm Tangtang. Nice to meet you."

Yang Chen looked somewhat surprised at the girl named Tangtang. He had expected her to burst into tears or make a scene, but she instead extended her hand in a friendly gesture.

Without much hesitation, Yang Chen shook Tangtang's hand gently. "I'm Yang Chen. Not very pleased to meet you."

Tangtang seemed momentarily stunned by Yang Chen's words, but then she giggled, revealing a mischievous and quirky expression. "Uncle, you're quite funny."

"Whether I'm funny or not, I don't know, but could you please clear the way? I want to go home," Yang Chen said, glancing at the two boys.

The two boys had just recovered from the thrilling scene earlier. Upon hearing Yang Chen's request to clear the way, one of the boys with dyed yellow hair chuckled coldly, "Clear the way? After endangering our Tangtang like that, you think you can just leave without bowing and apologizing? You're asking for it!"

"And if it wasn't for Tangtang calling for help?" suggested the other boy with long hair, his tone somewhat threatening.

Tangtang rolled her eyes. "Stop talking nonsense. Did I say I wanted to confront this gentleman?"

"Well, Tangtang, you..." the two boys seemed surprised.

Tangtang sweetly smiled and turned to Yang Chen. "Uncle, your driving skills just now were amazing! It reminded me of the main character, Paul, in The Fast and the Furious! It was just like the movies! I thought only movie effects could achieve that. Could you teach me?"

As she spoke, she gazed at him with a pure and eager look, evoking a sense of endearment.
