National Guardian's Gone and We're Done

Chapter 328 - 327: There’s a Party, Interested in Joining?

"Is what I asked for ready?" Chu He asked.

"It’s all ready."

The man in the suit made a hand signal, and a large truck immediately drove over from a distance.

Then, a few workers got out, opened the shipping container,

and a black luxury car drove out from inside.

Seeing the emblem on the front, Chu He asked, a bit stunned, "I just wanted a vehicle to get around in,

something to drive so I can look around while I’m resting here."

Although his power was immense and his movement speed had reached an incredible level,

he couldn’t just use his abilities whenever he felt like it.

For example, zipping back and forth at high speed while shopping or sightseeing would cause a commotion and frighten people.

That was why Chu He had specifically sent a message to Liu Yuzhu beforehand, asking her to prepare a simple car for him.

He never expected it to be a Rolls-Royce.

Especially in an environment plagued by Evil Spirits, to be able to deliver such a luxurious, brand-new, top-tier car was quite something.

"Miss Liu has already said that for someone of Mr. Chu’s status, driving a car like this is appropriate. It won’t be seen as ostentatious."

The man in the suit smiled and handed over an exquisite briefcase. "All the necessary documents and papers are inside. The license plate is also a special number, exempt from local checks.

Whether Mr. Chu needs to run a red light or something else comes up, you can proceed without any obstruction."

"Tell Liu Yuzhu to get me a different car,"

Chu He said helplessly.

He just wanted to be low-key, but this luxury car was far too high-profile.

"Exchanging the car would be rather inconvenient. You see, Mr. Chu, getting this car was actually a stroke of luck.

As it happens, a tycoon in our country spent a fortune to order this exact Rolls-Royce SUV.

But then the tycoon didn’t want it anymore. It seems he ran into some cash flow problems with his business.

So, he sold off some assets, including this brand-new Rolls-Royce.

Miss Liu then purchased it and had it sent here.

If you want to switch cars now, even for a more affordable one, it would take some time.

Because this city, Haitong City, once suffered near-devastating destruction from an Evil Spirit invasion.

The local economy is still a bit depressed even now.

If locals want to buy a vehicle, even the cheapest kind that costs a few tens of thousands, they have to order it in advance.

Someone will then deliver the car to a local dealership.

Mr. Chu, you must understand that in the current climate, houses and cars are not easy items to sell.

After all, no one knows if the Evil Spirits will suddenly reappear and wreak havoc.

During the worst of the outbreak, even the Empire couldn’t bear the strain."

The man in the suit went on at length, and Chu He understood what he was getting at.

’The citizens of the Empire don’t dare buy such expensive items anymore.

After all, things like Evil Spirits appear out of thin air without any warning and cause widespread destruction.

Houses are one thing; a family has to have a place to live.

But a car isn’t necessarily a necessity.

Especially in a city like Haitong City that has suffered so much.

Even if a local car dealership owner had the capital to stock a large number of cars, they might not sell any for years.

If they spent all that money just for the cars to be destroyed by Evil Spirits,

then those people would just have to swallow the bitter pill and suffer in silence.’

"Fine, I’ll just drive this one then," Chu He said, taking the car keys from the man.

"Mr. Chu, this is my business card."

The man in the suit handed over a card and said, "To better serve you, Mr. Chu, I will be staying in Haitong City for the next few days.

If you need any errands run, you can call me anytime.

My phone is on 24/7. It is my honor to serve you, Mr. Chu."

After speaking, he gave Chu He a deep bow, turned and got into a car, then drove away.

Chu He casually pocketed the business card, tossed the document pouch he was holding into the car, opened the door, and got in.

He then drove toward a nearby food street.

On the way, the Rolls-Royce SUV attracted the gazes of many pedestrians.

In a small, third-tier city like this, just being willing to own a car meant your family was quite well-off,

and anyone who could drive a top-tier luxury car like this was bound to be rich and powerful.

Chu He, one hand on the steering wheel, naturally noticed the stares from the people outside.

He couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of helplessness. ’This isn’t what I wanted.’

Along the way, Chu He’s thoughts were on the girl named Sun Canxing.

’The mentor system is actually a pretty good idea.

On one hand, to secure their income, the mentors would surely do their best to teach their students.

On the other hand, it also gives the mentors enough incentive to proactively seek out students.

But the system still has its flaws.’

Chu He had originally just wanted to come to a slow-paced city and enjoy life a little.

He never expected to run into trouble on his very first day.

The food street Chu He was heading to happened to be in a university town.

Parking the car in a lot near the food street, Chu He got out and was about to leave.

Just then, a few young men walked over.

"Hey man, you’re not from around Haitong City, are you?"

one of the young men asked politely, striking up a conversation.

"No," Chu He said, shaking his head.

Chu He was still wearing a baseball cap and a face mask, so they didn’t recognize him.

"No wonder both you and your car look unfamiliar."

The young man introduced himself. "I’m the president of the Haitong City Luxury Car Association. My name is Gu Chen.

We happen to have a meet-up today. Are you interested in joining us?"

"Not interested," Chu He refused bluntly.

’A luxury car association like this is just a platform for a bunch of rich people to form cliques, exchange resources, and expand their own networks.’

But at Chu He’s current level of status and power, he could completely ignore such things.

"Alright then. Here’s my card.

If you get bored around here, feel free to get in touch.

Don’t be fooled just because this is a small, third-tier city. There are still plenty of ways to have fun."

Gu Chen’s expression flickered slightly. He hadn’t expected Chu He to refuse so decisively.

Normally, people would show him some face, at least making a bit of small talk even if they intended to decline.

However, this also made Gu Chen believe that the man’s background must be extraordinary.

Because when he had invited Chu He to come hang out with their luxury car association,

Chu He’s eyes showed no emotion at all—just complete indifference.

This indicated that the man was on a completely different level than the wealthy circle of this third-tier city.

This made Gu Chen even more interested.

Chu He was about to refuse again but suddenly remembered something. He took the business card and asked, "In that case, do you know Yu Hongtao?"
