Chapter 157
Monkey crossed out the items beyond his capabilities. "I can get the rest of them, but it would take some time." Stella inquired, "How long?"
"About five days," Monkey replied, not hesitating to ask for a high price. "After sifting through both hot and cold climates, it's hard to find many things, and they're not cheap. It would cost at least 1000 pounds of potatoes." A thousand pounds of potatoes? Stella nearly burst out laughing.
After much haggling and negotiating, Stella, feeling flustered and irritated by the heat, finally settled on 500 pounds of potatoes.
They agreed on a meeting point for the trade. Stella, riding the mountain bike she had earned from Mikey, hurried home to escape the heat and preserve her life.
At nightfall, Jasper called her from walkie-talkie, asking her to come to the parking lot.
The Hummer, at last, was repaired. With its dismantled parts reassembled and a few parts swapped out from a salvaged collection, the shiny new Hummer made its appearance once again.
To be honest, she had always craved this type of vehicle.
Considering the super off-roader she had stashed away in Arcadia, Stella remained calm, although excitement still fluttered in her heart.
Jasper was quite the guy, skilled in everything from fighting and killing to car mechanics. Stella was irresistibly curious about him. "What else can you do?"
The parking lot was pitch dark, and he turned off his flashlight before embracing Stella. "Take a guess."
In the darkness, Stella allowed him to hold her, clearly smelling the scent of his sweat. It didn't stink, but rather felt reassuring.
Stella didn't guess, instead waiting for him to surprise her.
The parking lot was deserted, and under the cover of darkness, she stashed the Hummer in Arcadia.
The next day, Lukas stood in the parking lot looking bewildered. "Jasper, where's your car?"
Jasper replied casually, "I hid it somewhere else to prevent jealousy and sabotage."
