"Hey, besties! It's your girl, Author-Chan, sliding back in with another banger of a story! 🎉
This time, we're diving into the epic world of Akira Akatsuki-aka Akira Yukimura-a bold and spirited Japanese queen.
The vibe? Friendship, fast cars, and...
The next morning, me, Tej and Hobbs gathered at the auction where cars were being sold. And I was the only one dressed decently.
"What the hell are you guys wearing?" I exclaimed, exasperated, but they just shrugged, brushing me away.

"This should be interesting," remarked Hobbs. "Man, you really gotta loosen up. You can't just throw a bunch of factory-line Beemers at people and expect..." Tej chimed in as he refused to use Hobb's cars from the DSS.
"Hey, that car is a hell of a car. You're talking about twin-turbo V8, spitting out 560 ponies, son," Luke refuted looking into the car's pamplet, and Tej and I took a glass of champagne.
"He reads the brochure. I'm proud. But with cars, you have to customize. It's all between you and the car you build. It's a bond, it's a commitment," Tej explained dramatically.
"Since when did you become such a romantic, Tej?" I asked amused. "Hey, I've always been a romantic!" He exclaimed. "It sounds like a marriage," Luke commented.
"Yeah, but with cars, when you trade up, they don't take half your shit," replied Tej, making Luke and me laugh. Then he opened the catalog, looked into it, and scowled.
"Jesus, with price tags like this, these cars better be made out of gold," He exclaimed. "Oh, don't worry, it's gonna be worth it," I assured, patting him.
"You ain't thinking about stealing these cars, are you, Parker?" asked Luke. Tej just drank his champagne. "The kitchen help entrance is towards the back," A guy said as he approached us.
"Come again?" Luke asked offended.
"I don't mean any offense, gentlemen, and... kid, but you couldn't possibly afford the cars in this auction," The guy taunted and left.
"But I'm 27..." I pointed at myself in disbelief. Later, Tej bought all his cars and sent the guy home in his underwear.
Brian and Dom returned, and as we worked on the cars, the rest of the team joined us, looking like they had just fought in a WWE match.
"What happened?" I asked, eyeing Rome and Han. "They ruined your, pretty, cute face," I teased, squeezing and patting Han's face.
"Shaw's goons showed up and started messing up the place," Han explained, stopping me by my wrists. "But we got something big," said Gisele.
"What?" Dom asked. "Braga," She replied, placing a phone on the table. I picked it up, examining some codes. "He's working with Shaw," She informed.
"What are you talking about?" Brian asked. "It's true. That phone's filled with coded payment transactions that lead straight to Braga's cartel," Han explained.
"Who the hell is Braga?" Tej inquired. "He ran one of the biggest cartels in Mexico," Dom replied. "And my old boss," Gisele added.
"Even we used codes just like that to move money out of the country. It makes sense," I continued.
