The Invincible Arthur Gardner novel Chapter 28

Arthur continued to drive his car at an exceptionally rapid pace, and up ahead, he noticed a multi-level highway that would likely hinder the Helicopter from catching up with him.

The police cars that had been pursuing him were now far behind, giving him very little time to find a way to escape their pursuit.

Arthur attempted to pull up alongside another car, then he rolled down his window and shouted, "I'll give you five times what you paid for your car!"

"What!? Are you kidding me?" the man driving the BMW Z29, a large black car, shouted in response to Arthur's offer. Astonished, he watched as Arthur quickly sped up and overtook him, eventually pulling over ahead of him.

Arthur pulled over to the emergency road section, and he and Claudina quickly got out of the car, still tightly holding hands. The man in the BMW also stepped out with ease.

"What, Claudina? Wait?" the man said, appearing to be confused at the sight of Claudina.

"I'll pay you five times as much for this car!" Arthur exclaimed.

The man was about to utter something when Arthur and Claudina quickly jumped into his car.

"What's the account number?" Arthur asked urgently.

Without wasting any time, the man quickly recited his account number and then Arthur drove off in the BMW.

"What? Is this a dream? I can't be scammed, can I? That was really Claudina!"

The man felt his phone vibrate, and upon checking it, he realized that he had received a transfer of funds worth five times the price of his car!

"What the hell! I'm not dreaming!" he exclaimed.

The man inspected the car belonging to the man who had been with Claudina earlier, finding it securely locked. He was perplexed as to why that guy had unexpectedly parked it on the side of the highway.

Just as he was wondering how he was going to get home, he heard the blaring of police sirens in the distance. Within moments, he was encircled by police cars and officers, who shouted, "Don't move! Put your hands up!"

He desperately responded, "Wait! Wait! I'm innocent!"

Gliding safely, Arthur and Claudina managed to evade the police cars and the helicopter that had been chasing them. Claudina's face lit up with relief, and she turned to Arthur, her expression now one of a smile. "I didn't think you'd actually be able to solve this problem with money, Mr. Arthur," she said.

Arthur turned to Claudina, his brows raised in surprise. "Really? Is that what you think?"

"Ah!" Claudina's cheeks reddened as she realized she had put her foot in her mouth. "No, I mean, seeing you drive like that, I wouldn't be surprised if you said you were a professional racer. Nonetheless, I can see you know how to make the most of your money and take care of things, even when I hadn't even considered it myself."

For the first time that night, Arthur finally let out a chuckle from his mouth and breathed a sigh of relief. "Yes... thank God... we escaped," he said. "I think we should go home and rest."

He looked back at Claudina while still driving the car, though at a slower speed than before. "Would you like something to eat, Claudina?" he asked.
