Chapter 207: Triumph Above All Chapter 207

“Hello, Mr. Moores,” Skylar smiled and greeted his former teacher.“It really is you!” Jerry continued as he studied Skylar, “In high school, we advised you against enlisting, but you insisted on doing so. The outcomes of the class’s admissions process were undoubtedly impacted. But look! You’re back in Cloudtopia! Where are you employed now that you have left the military?”Skylar grinned and replied politely, “I’m back temporarily. I’m still in the military.”Jerry was even more convinced that the man would not succeed in life. He did not think that his former student would amount to much as he had been in the army for six years and no one had heard of his accomplishments.Jerry said sarcastically, “You are doing this for the country. How noble of you!” Before Skylar could reply, he patted Timothy on the shoulder and said proudly, “This is my son, Timothy. He’s the Sales Director at Silverton Corporation. He was just awarded a 30 thousand dollars commission for closing a deal. I told him to save the money, but he insisted on buying a new car.”Jerry was clearly bragging about his son’s brilliance. When Timothy saw Skylar remained silent, he became even more pompous.“Are you here to look at cars, Skylar? I’m quite an expert in this field. Which brands are you interested in? I can give you some advice,” Timothy offered.“It’s all right. I’m just looking around,” Skylar said nonchalantly.The father and son looked on smugly because they guessed Skylar couldn’t afford the car and was at the store to admire the expensive cars. It’s also possible that the man was embarrassed to admit that he planned to buy a low-end brand. “Don’t be shy, Skylar. I’m friendly with the boss. Let me know which car you are interested in, and I’ll get you a 20 percent discount,” Timothy suggested. He was prepared to mock Skylar if he could not afford a car even with the discount. If he could afford it, it would most likely be a scooter worth around a hundred thousand dollars. The 20 percent discount would only take 20 thousand dollars off the price tag. He was boasting when he said he was friends with the boss of the Automobile Megastore. They were only acquaintances at best.Timothy was planning to purchase a vehicle that cost 300 thousand dollars. Hence, he was confident that the boss would be willing to discount 20 thousand dollars for Skylar.“All right then” Skylar finally agreed. He pointed to a vehicle afar, “How about that?”Jerry and Timothy followed his gaze and were surprised to see it was an imported Land Rover worth 5 million dollars. They thought in unison, he’s such a liar!While the father and son were still recovering from the unexpectant news, Skylar had already walked over to the Land Rover.A salesman in a black uniform reminded, “Sir, this is a limited-edition Land Rover with an extended wheelbase. The vehicle cost 5 million dollars, and after taxes and warranty fees, the total cost will be close to 6 million dollars.”“With a 20 percent discount, I can save about 1.2 million dollars.

What a steal! I want this car,” Skylar said excitedly.“What do you mean by a 20 percent discount?” the salesman asked in confusion.Skylar cocked his head to Timothy, who had just arrived. “He’s good friends with your boss. He told me that I could choose any vehicle I wanted and receive a 20 percent discount.”
