Chapter 307: I Am
Chapter 307: I Am: Resurrection
The guy standing in front of him had ridiculous dyed hair, colorful clothes, a shiny noble emblem and a smile that made him look like an idiot, but despite the standout features Cillin couldn’t recall ever having met him in his life.
The quiff-haired young man was panting by the time he ran up to Cillin. His face was red with excitement.
“Are… are you… Cillin? The driver of Vege-Fritter?”
Cillin shot him a suspicious look before nodding. “I am.”
“Thank goodness! I’ve been dying to meet you!” The young man bounced off the ground several times before he finally recalled his manners. He rubbed his hands, straightened his clothes and saluted Cillin. Unlike the one Lunani had tried to perform earlier, this one was just a mon salute between nobles. It was positively oozing with admiration, however.
After chatting to Hong Xi for a bit, Cillin finally learned how he recognized him.
Hong Xi was a flying car hobbyist who had attended the grand prix held by the Sizer Family. However, he was but one of the many, many nobles who attended that event, not to mention his family wasn’t very important or attached to a powerful family. That was why he wasn’t present in Gen Xingming’s circle or noticed by Cillin that day. Cillin wasn’t going to memorize every face on the stands as a matter of course.
After knowing the whole story, Cillin had a friendly chat with Hong Xi before bidding him goodbye. He then returned to Chang Four’s group.
“You know him, Hong Xi?” Thomas walked over to him and asked.
Hong Xi was still watching Cillin’s back with starry eyes as he said, “He’s my idol! You have no idea how goddam amazing he was! Do you know why Vege-Fritters are so popular these days?”
Thomas thought for a moment before looking up suddenly. “It was him?”
Thomas might not be a flying car hobbyist, but he did pay attention to big races. He had heard of the recent resurgence of Vege-Fritter.
“Wasn’t Naimi of the Sizer Family the reason it became popular?” Thomas asked.
“You don’t understand anything! Naimi is just the navigator, but Cillin’s the driver! Don’t you get it?! The driver!” Hong Xi had looked deep into this because it involved his passion.
“Cillin, you say? Where is he from? He’s not wearing a noble emblem, is he?”
Most nobles would wear their emblem when they appeared in public. Of course, there were people who forwent them because they thought it was troublesome or because they preferred to keep a low profile, such as the self-proclaimed “low-key” Gen Xingming.
“That I don’t know. But I do know that he was talking to the three princes after the match was over. They looked very close to each other.”
Thomas raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Was he a member of the royal family after all?
Meanwhile, the person in question was checking the time and thinking that it was about time he contacted the administration of San Calombo. He didn’t want to make them more worried than they already were. After bidding Chang Four goodbye, he and Wheeze left Blossoms Garden and found a secluded spot inside a park. There were less people in this location around this time.
The moment the administration of San Calombo received Cillin’s message, they immediately sent someone to fetch him without even verifying if the message was real. But when they arrived at the spot Cillin told them to fetch him, all they found was a young man lying atop a bench and reading a book. They subconsciously thought that he was one of their students and overlooked him pletely, but no matter where they looked they couldn’t find anyone who matched the image of a scholar in their head.
