Return of the King, Dominating the City

Chapter 1855 - 1739: Underground Drift Race

After returning to Yanjing, Song Yun lived a leisurely life, though tranquil, it gradually became somewhat monotonous over time.

Aunt Qing Yan and Azure Dragon seemed to have vanished without a trace. No matter how hard Song Yun searched, he couldn’t find any clue, which left a lump of unease in his heart.

One day, while Song Yun was playing with Little Gangbeng, the phone rang. It was Shen Yan, still as unreliable as ever, asking if Song Yun wanted to join him in RB to find some girls.

With so many beautiful women around him, Song Yun had no time to run around with him, especially not to RB.

However, Shen Yan’s next words piqued Song Yun’s interest. It turned out that Shen Yan was going to RB to participate in a global underground drift race, which seemed quite intriguing.

Song Yun thought it over, since he was free anyway, why not go and have some fun?

Who would have thought that within an hour of hanging up the phone, Shen Yan rushed over urgently, saying they had to leave today. Song Yun told the women and followed Shen Yan into his sports car.

Once Song Yun got in the car, the Ferrari roared as it sped off.

"What kind of competition is this?" Song Yun asked.

Shen Yan replied, "It’s not an official race. It’s a global underground drift competition. This time, they set the location at RB, and the track is quite interesting, located in a spiral multi-story parking garage. The garage is somewhat old, and the roads are very narrow, requiring high technical skill in drifting."

Song Yun asked, "An underground event? What made you decide to join this race? And why go all the way to RB?"

Shen Yan said, "I’m personally interested in this drift race, and those car-loving bastards from RB sent us a challenge letter, inviting us to compete for fourth place. Of course, I want to go and win some glory for us. Besides me, many underground racers from various places, even professional drivers, will participate in this underground drift race."

"Those RB people are so arrogant, thinking they can take the top three spots." Song Yun raised an eyebrow, a sly smile appearing on his lips, and said, "Since that’s the case, I’ll register too. The two of us will take the first two spots and let others fight for third place."

Shen Yan said, "Song Yun, I’m not sure I can take the top two spots."

Song Yun laughed, "Don’t worry, I’m here."

RB has a very complete car culture, surpassing much of the mainland in manufacturing and modification.

However, in terms of drivers, RB may not be that strong.

Nevertheless, due to the car culture, there are many tournaments in RB, but most are underground and unofficially organized.

The hottest place for car culture in RB is Tokyo.

The car holy land in Tokyo is Akihabara.

After getting off the plane, Song Yun and Shen Yan headed straight to Akihabara.

Since it’s an underground event, Shen Yan didn’t bring a professional technical team, just him and Song Yun.

His car had already been shipped, and as soon as they got off the plane, they retrieved it, using various connections to secure RB road permits and other documents.

The car was an old modified Jetta by Shen Yan, but while it looked the same on the outside, everything inside had changed.

And because it’s a drift race, Shen Yan made some other modifications to make it suitable for drifting.

The two drove the old Jetta to Akihabara and saw many modified cars and supercars on the streets—these people were also here for the underground drift race.

Of course, supercars aren’t good at drifting; they’re tools for getting around, not competition vehicles.

Song Yun now understood that the event was called "Akihabara Drift," and the previous one was held in Russia, now it’s in RB.

The race venue was set in an old spiral parking garage, bought by a wealthy RB local specifically for the Akihabara Drift competition.

All the expenses for this event were to be covered by the drivers themselves, with a registration fee equivalent to fifty thousand RMB per entrant, totaling a few hundred racers—more than enough to cover costs.

Song Yun and Shen Yan registered and went to check into a pre-booked hotel.

The hotels around the parking garage were already full, not only with drivers but a large number of enthusiasts came to watch, and over ten thousand people flooded Akihabara.

Luckily, they had booked a room in advance, otherwise finding a place to stay could have been an issue.

The old Jetta headed to the hotel, and on the way, Song Yun saw a commotion at another hotel entrance.

"Who are you to not let us in?"

Hearing it was in Chinese, Song Yun said to Shen Yan, "Shen Yan, pull over, let’s see what’s going on."

Shen Yan pulled the car to the side of the road, Song Yun rolled down the window to take a look at the hotel nearby. At the entrance was a sign reading "No XX people or dogs allowed inside."

His face turned grim. These RB bastards were really asking for trouble, daring to put up something like that.

At this time, at the hotel entrance.

Two men and a woman were originally planning to check into the hotel but were stopped.

The three were car enthusiasts from Huaxia, who came specifically to support Huaxia competitors after learning about the "Akihabara Drift" event.

"Don’t you have any available rooms? Why won’t you let us check-in?"

A Huaxia man with a backpack pointed at the hotel’s front desk, shouting at the two staff blocking the entrance.

He spoke in Chinese, which the staff couldn’t understand, looking at him with disdain.

The accompanying woman, who knew Japanese, angrily asked the staff again.

The staff sneered, "Are you blind? There’s a sign here, can’t you see it?"

With that, he brought the sign from beside the door.

The three hadn’t noticed it before, but now seeing it displayed in Chinese characters as "No XX people or dogs allowed inside," they immediately became enraged.

"Damn it, how dare you discriminate against us."

"Damn it, you RB people are the dogs!"

The two men, fiery by nature, cursed loudly and swung their fists at the two staff members.

The arrogant staff were startled, quickly running inside, shouting, "Security, quick, someone’s causing trouble!"

A group of security guards rushed out, surrounding and beating the two Huaxia men before throwing them at the door.

These security guards were heavy-handed, beating the two Huaxia men until they were bloodied, teeth knocked out, lying on the ground unable to move.

"You damn fools, trying to stay in our hotel is an insult to our Yamato Race’s dignity!"

A man who seemed to be the head of the security guards went up and kicked them hard, making the two Huaxia men vomit blood.

The other security guards surrounded and gave them another brutal beating, leaving the two men in a pitiful state.

"Stop it, please stop!"

The accompanying woman shouted loudly, throwing herself over the two Huaxia men to stop the RB people, but her strength was no match for them.

"Hahaha, such a pretty flower, looks like we’re in for a treat tonight."

The security head chuckled maliciously, looking at the Huaxia woman with a sinister grin, reaching out to grab her.

The woman hurriedly dodged, but a security guard behind her grabbed her arm, then another came to seize her other arm, controlling her completely.
