It was a supercar they had never seen before.
The car stopped, and the doors opened upwards.
Then, Morin, wearing beach shorts, a tank top, slippers, and sunglasses, stepped out.
Everyone was stunned.
Sure, his body was great, and he was very handsome, but this outfit…
It just didn't match the car at all!
"What's wrong," Morin said, taking off his sunglasses and looking around. "You all seem surprised?"
"Hahaha," Toretto was the only one who wasn't stunned, or rather, he was already used to Morin's antics. He laughed and walked over to hug Morin. "Morin, you haven't changed a bit!"
"Why would I?" Morin shrugged with a smile. "I've never been to the beaches in Rio before."
"Fair enough," Toretto nodded. "By the way, what car is this…"
Even Toretto felt a little tempted when he saw Morin's car.
It was just so cool!
"I made it myself. It's not for sale. It's the only one in the world," Morin said with a grin. "How about it, isn't it cool?"
The car's exterior was that of the Mercedes-AMG VGT concept car from the "I'm rich" scene with Batman and the Flash. The internal components were, of course, the best and most suitable ones that Morin could put in.
"It's cool, but I don't know how it drives," Roman said. Despite Toretto and O'Conner's warnings, his curiosity was even more piqued. "Bro, can you even drive?"
"Drive? Of course I can't!" Morin said matter-of-factly. "This car of mine uses the latest AI autopilot. I don't have to do anything. I just need to enter the destination, and it'll take me there!"
"Well, that's… not good," Roman said, shaking his head. "That's a total waste of this car! You're… O'Conner, why are you pulling me?"
"Just stop talking," O'Conner said with a dark expression. "Didn't you realize he's just messing with you?"
"Huh?" Roman was confused. He looked at Morin. "Are you messing with me?"
"Of course not," Morin said, smiling and nodding.
Roman: "..."
"I think he's messing with me," Roman said to O'Conner, looking for confirmation.
"No doubt about it…" O'Conner said, covering his forehead helplessly.
"Mia, long time no see," Morin said, no longer interested in messing with Roman. There was no sense of accomplishment in it.
"Long time no see, Morin," Mia said with a smile, hugging Morin.
"So, you must be Han?" Morin shook hands with Han, then with Tej… and then, with one of the reasons he was here, Gisele.
Gal Gadot. Of course, her most famous role was Wonder Woman.
Morin was a man of principles, and he had never been in a committed relationship with any woman. All of them were based on mutual consent and needs. His position was very clear: he was going to pass through the garden of beautiful women and pick all the flowers.
Ahem…
Of course, he would only pick the pretty ones.
That's why Toretto was so protective of Mia at first, not wanting Morin to get close to her.
He knew Morin's personality very well and was also very aware that Mia was not the type of person who could hold on to a man like Morin.
As for now… Toretto had a lot of trust in Morin's character. Although Morin was sometimes a bit unreliable, a complete philanderer, he was still a man of his word. For example, he would always keep a promise.
Another example was that a kindness would always be repaid.
And, another rule was that if he had to go somewhere to fix or modify a car, there had to be either a beautiful landscape or a beautiful woman.
"Gisele," Gisele said, extending her hand.
"Morin, just call me Morin," Morin said, shaking her hand and getting straight to the point. "Interested in going to the beach later?"
"Huh?" Gisele was surprised.
"Wait," Toretto quickly interrupted. "Let's finish the business first!"
He wasn't worried that Morin wouldn't succeed; he was worried that if he waited any longer, he would lose one of the people in his plan!
Toretto hadn't planned on involving Morin in the operation, but Gisele was part of the plan, and he couldn't afford to lose her. After all, they were going to rob the local snake of his money.
"Fine," Morin said. He wasn't here to cause trouble, so he didn't object. He shrugged, then saw O'Conner, who was hiding behind Roman, and gave him a "kind" smile. "Hey there, O'Conner! Let me see if your punches have gotten any harder!"
"Haha… Morin, long time no see…" O'Conner's face was stiff as he greeted Morin awkwardly.
Years ago, when O'Conner was still an undercover cop who had infiltrated Toretto's gang, he fell for Mia. At the time, Mia had a crush on Morin, but Morin had promised Toretto he would treat her like a sister, which he did. As for O'Conner…
It's a well-known fact that when people fall in love, their logic can drop, sometimes exponentially. O'Conner was no exception. He misunderstood Morin and Mia's relationship and challenged Morin to a fight.
At that time, Morin was only a Junior Auto Mechanic, but he had already gained ten points in [Physical] and [Intelligence]. This was almost at the human limit of one hundred, and then…
O'Conner was, of course, "disciplined" by Morin.
Since then, O'Conner got a mental block whenever he saw Morin!
He had never seen a man that strong before!
Hmm… That description sounds a little weird…
"Alright, alright…" Toretto tried again to get the conversation back on track. "Let's get down to business!"
"Dom, what's the plan?" Han, who was eating a snack and watching the show, asked.
"Yeah, why did you bring us halfway across the world for this?" Tej asked.
"We have a job," Toretto said, looking around, ignoring Morin, who was smiling at Gisele. "A big job."
"This time, our target is Hernan Reyes," O'Conner said, pointing to a map on a table that was covered with dozens of red circles. O'Conner, who was finally recovering after Morin had moved on, spoke up. "He runs the drug trade here and has never been caught, because there are no bank records or receipts as evidence. He's also colluding with the local police and government."
"No records means he has a massive cash stash, right?" Gisele said, thinking.
"Yes, to be exact, his money is all over the city," O'Conner said, pointing to the red circles on the map.
"And what we're going to do is empty out all that cash," Toretto said.
"...Every last bit of it?" Tej asked.
"Every last bit of it," Toretto nodded.
