Chapter 280: Customer

The meeting ended shortly after Lucas made his statement. Since it would not negatively affect the team's performance in the race or the staff, the bet was made between Lucas and the Versoa team's core members. However, changes were made to the bet.

Orvel had originally wanted it to be as Lucas had stated, but Lerman—the head of the department of vehicle manufacturing— and Helnord —Vienna's secretary— thought it would be more fair to 'level' the playing field a bit.

They had given Lucas an extra day to the bet, making it five days. They also allowed him access to the various departments laboratories and workshops as well as their equipment, although he didn't have priority access. Finally, the winning condition was set to be for Lucas to make a much better engine rather than vehicle. The engine would now be placed into a replicated Viper racing shuttle, but without the L2.13o engine. By better, they meant at least a twenty percent (20%) improvement in performance.
