It wasn't until some time after leaving Dominic's residence
that Hunter gradually came back to his senses.
"So, did I just pass the test?"
He looked down at the key in his hand; it was a Ford car key.
Hunter had worked at the repair shop for a while, so he was quite familiar with the cars under Dominic's name.
Dominic owned many cars, most of which were purchased over the last few years after they started their career as highway bandits.
But his favorite, without a doubt, was the dodge charger he inherited from his father.
Over the past few years, Dominic had sunk at least several hundred thousand us dollars into that dodge charger.
He had overhauled and upgraded that vintage car from the inside out several times.
He even prepared several sets of different component configurations.
He had forcefully turned a decades-old vintage muscle car into one of the most high-performance vehicles in all of California and even the West Coast of the US.
Even supercars costing over a million us dollars might not necessarily exceed that dodge charger in certain performance aspects.
Besides that car, Dominic also had six other cars of different brands.
Ford, GM, Volkswagen, Toyota, Honda, Mazda.
None of them were luxury cars or supercars, just ordinary sedans and coupes.
However, most of the dirty money Dominic earned over the last few years
had been spent on these vehicles, so almost every single car had been modified by him at least once.
The one given to Hunter, unsurprisingly, should be a ford mustang.
Speaking of which, Hunter had seen that car before.
To be more precise, his predecessor had seen it.
It was a fourth-generation ford mustang, a 2001 model.
Although the fourth-generation ford mustang wasn't recognized by car enthusiasts as a proper American muscle car,
it still inherited the excellent genes of the first three generations of Mustangs, possessing a large displacement and horsepower, while also being youthful and stylish.
Dominic had bought the two-seater coupe version and spent money specifically to modify it.
At a conservative estimate, it couldn't be bought for less than a hundred thousand dollars.
You have to realize that a hundred thousand dollars, in the US which has always been a price floor for global car prices,
is enough to buy an entry-level luxury sports car, like a base model Ferrari Roma.
"If it really is that ford mustang, then Dominic is truly generous."
Hunter hadn't expected that his first car in this life would actually be a gift from someone else.
But after a bit of reflection, he decided to accept it with peace of mind.
There was no other reason!
The reason Dominic was willing to give Hunter such a reward wasn't because he was stupid.
Quite the opposite; that large bald man who looked like he had facial paralysis possessed a delicate personality and wisdom that didn't match his rough and burly physique.
So this car really was his reward for Hunter.
After all, Dominic knew best why he was being targeted by suspected FBI or Los Angeles police.
After leaving Dominic's residence, Hunter found a secluded spot.
He quickly took out his old motorcycle from his private space.
Then, he quickly drove the vehicle toward the repair shop's warehouse.
The repair shop's warehouse was naturally locked at night.
However, this didn't stump Hunter.
His Lockpicking Skill level had already reached LV2.
Opening some complex locks would naturally be very difficult,
but dealing with some simple door locks was easier than ever.
After arriving at his destination, Hunter took out the specifically configured Lockpicking tool kit from his private space.
The lock on the repair shop warehouse wasn't complicated; after only a short while of fiddling, he opened the warehouse!
Once inside, Hunter didn't spend much time before he found the car Dominic had given him in the warehouse!
Just as he had guessed before, it was Dominic's ford mustang!
Using the key Dominic gave him, he easily opened it and sat inside the car.
The moment he started the car, he felt the immense power coming from the engine.
With his hand on the steering wheel, Hunter suddenly felt as if it were an extension of his own arm.
The LV4 Driving Skill indeed exceeded his expectations.
Earlier, when Hunter's skill reached LV4,
he felt that many Driving techniques and tricks had appeared in his mind.
Most of them were related to cars.
Hunter had taken his driver's license test in his previous life; although he hadn't bought a car, he had driven many times.
Even so, when the Driving Skill reached LV4,
the techniques and tricks that appeared in his mind still made Hunter feel like he had benefited immensely.
Vroom!
The modified high-horsepower engine emitted a low hum.
Hunter skillfully drove with one hand, pulling the car out from the back of the warehouse.
Then, he locked the warehouse back up.
He quickly started the car, which looked brand new, and soon disappeared into the night.
The next day, he still hadn't received a call from Old Parker or Charlie.
After training for several hours at both the Boxing and Shooting clubs, Hunter went fishing by the sea for a while and took a swim.
It wasn't until dusk approached that he took a newly purchased compact camera.
He quietly approached the auto parts store where Brian was undercover and snapped a few photos of him after he got off work.
At the same time, he carefully followed him.
He took a few more photos of him appearing near Mia's cafe.
To Hunter's great surprise, something he hadn't even expected happened.
The very first time he tailed Brian, the guy went to the FBI field office in Los Angeles after dark.
As a result, Hunter successfully captured photos of Brian entering the FBI building.
Anything more detailed than that was unnecessary.
He knew very well that Dominic actually already believed his previous claims.
However, while it was true he was the leader of the street racing gang,
suddenly stopping the truck hijackings
without providing solid evidence to convince his men
would surely lead to some people grumbling and harboring resentment in secret, even if they didn't say it openly.
Dominic always treated them as family, so he naturally felt responsible for their safety.
If someone were to blindly organize an operation on their own out of dissatisfaction,
they might not only get themselves caught but also likely expose Dominic and the rest of the crew.
Therefore, he had no choice but to be cautious.
In Chinatown, he found a decent photo lab and had all the pictures developed.
Hunter was in no hurry to deliver them to Dominic; he planned to wait a couple of days.
Unexpectedly, by noon on the third day,
Dominic called him of his own accord.
When Hunter answered, the cold male voice immediately perked him up.
"I found the person you're looking for."
