LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 147: So Easy!
Hugo leaned back in his seat, one hand on the steering wheel, the other casually tapping the armrest as the city whizzed by. The grin on his face?
It was so wide it almost hurt his cheeks. But could anyone blame him? This was his first day driving his brand-new Benz, and life had never felt so good.
The car was like a dream come true, a rolling palace of pure luxury.
The seats felt as if they had been handcrafted by the gods of comfort—soft, smooth, and perfectly supportive.
They adjusted to his posture, almost like they were hugging him. The air inside was crisp, cool, and smelled faintly of fresh leather, the kind of smell that made you feel like a billionaire on a casual Tuesday afternoon.
The dashboard lit up with a sleek display that made him feel like he was piloting a spaceship, while the engine purred softly, a low hum that sent shivers of satisfaction down his spine.
Driving the Benz was another level of amazing. Every turn was butter-smooth, the car responding to him like it was reading his mind.
When he pressed the pedal, the car leapt forward like a wild horse eager to gallop, but it always felt under control. Hugo thought to himself,
'This car was made for someone like me. A king behind the wheel deserves a car fit for royalty.'
The speakers blasted the most ridiculous rap song he'd ever heard, and Hugo was vibing hard. The beat slapped, and the lyrics? Well, they were hilariously absurd:
≈Horny girls on the block, yeah, they always on the chase,
Saw me in my Benz, now they can't keep up the pace.
Leather seats, silver shine, I'm the king of the street,
Got them looking, got them blushing, they can't handle the heat!≈
≈Girl, don't play, just drop your Insta or your Snap,
But I'm only takin' numbers—keep that 'gram in your app!
You see this ride? It ain't just for show,
Hop in if you're ready for the Hugo flow!≈
He rapped along with the track, nodding his head like he was the star of his own music video.
The ridiculousness of the lyrics only made it better, and Hugo found himself laughing out loud. 'Who writes this stuff? Genius!'
As he turned onto a busier street, a thought struck him. 'I wonder how much easier it'll be to get a girl's number now that I'm in this Benz. Good looks plus a car like this? That's an unstoppable combo.' It wasn't arrogance—it was just the simple truth of the world.
He chuckled to himself, the idea already fueling his excitement.
And then he saw her.
She stood at the corner of the street, waiting for the pedestrian light. A Latina beauty with curves that seemed sculpted to perfection, wearing a tight, skimpy dress that sparkled under the sunlight.
Her long dark hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her skin had a golden glow that made her look like she'd just walked out of a music video.
Hugo's eyes lingered on her for a second, and he couldn't deny it—she was gorgeous. But then his thoughts drifted to Lisa.
'She's pretty, sure. But Lisa? Lisa's in another league. She's a goddess, and this girl is… well, just a really pretty mortal.' Still, Hugo's curiosity got the better of him.
He slowed down the car and pulled up smoothly next to the curb where she stood. Heads turned instantly.
The car's black body gleamed in the sunlight, the silver gloss on the roof and trim making it look even more expensive.
People on the street were already staring, gawking, and admiring the luxurious ride. Hugo could feel the attention like a warm glow around him, but he kept his cool. Timing was everything.
After a few moments, Hugo pressed the button, and the tinted window slid down. He leaned his elbow casually on the door and gave her a smooth smile.
"Excuse me," he said, his tone playful but smooth. "Are you waiting for a ride, or were you just hoping a guy like me would stop to make your day better?"
She blinked, clearly caught off guard, but then her lips curled into a bright, flirty smile. "Wow, smooth line! Is that how you always introduce yourself, or is it just the car giving you confidence?"
Hugo laughed, his grin widening. She was definitely a G.D. "Nah, this is all me. The car's just here to make me look humble."
Her laughter bubbled up, and she stepped closer to the car, her heels clicking against the pavement. "Well, you've got my attention, Mr. Humble."
"Glad to hear it," Hugo said, leaning in just slightly. "How about you give me your number so I can keep your attention later too?"
She tilted her head, a playful look in her eyes. "How about I give you my Instagram instead?"
Inside, Hugo's brain went into overdrive. 'Ah, the classic Instagram move. She thinks she's slick, but I've read this playbook a hundred times. This is what they call a 'shit test.' But me? I'm not falling for it.'
He shook his head slightly, his expression calm but confident. "I'm old school," he said, locking eyes with her. "I don't want your Instagram. I want your number."
Her cheeks flushed instantly, and she laughed, looking almost shy now. "Alright, alright," she said, pulling out her phone. "You win."
She rattled off her number, and Hugo saved it with a triumphant grin. "Thanks," he said, slipping his phone back into his pocket. He winked at her, adding, "You've officially made my day."
Before she could respond, Hugo rolled the window up, revved the engine just enough to make heads turn again, and pulled away from the curb. As the car sped off, he smirked to himself.
'That was way too easy. I didn't even use the Aura! This Benz really is a cheat code for life.'
The rap song was still blasting through the speakers, and Hugo sang along, his voice filled with pride and amusement:
≈Leather seats, Benz heat, yeah, I'm cruisin' in style,
Got her digits, got her blushing—man, this car's so wild!≈
Hugo drummed his fingers on the steering wheel, the city stretching out before him like a kingdom he was destined to conquer. His future felt brighter than ever. No—he felt brighter than ever.
