Chapter 184 - Chapter 184: Engine of Dreams

It was a bright, windless afternoon in Manchester.Classes at the University of Manchester were about to let out.

And parked just across the street, reflecting sunlight like a rolling piece of art, was a deep black Bentley Continental GT Speed โ€” chrome accents, carbon fiber touches, custom wheels, and personalized black-and-gold trim.

The car looked like it belonged on a magazine cover.

But the man inside?

Mateo Gonzรกlez. Calm. Smiling. Waiting.

๐Ÿš— Flashback โ€” A Dream in Motion

Two weeks earlier.Just after signing off on his first Premier League match bonus, Mateo had gone to a place he'd always dreamed of.

Bentley Manchester โ€“ Official Dealer

He walked in wearing a hoodie and cap.

Within seconds, a man in a tailored suit approachedโ€”eyes widening.

"You're... you're Gonzรกlez! The new number 7!"

Mateo smiled sheepishly.

The man, Adam, was a lifelong Manchester United supporter.And within minutes, Mateo wasn't just a customerโ€”

He was an honored guest.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Inside the Showroom

Adam walked him personally through the showroom, showing various models โ€” but the moment Mateo laid eyes on the Bentley Continental GT Speed, something clicked.

6.0-liter W12 engine

Top speed: 335 km/h

0 to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds

Bespoke Naim premium audio system

Hand-stitched diamond pattern interior

Black with gold accents โ€” just like his vision

"You love cars, don't you?" Adam asked.

Mateo nodded.

"Always have. I got my license as soon as I landed in England.Didn't want to wait another second."

Adam chuckled.

"Then this beauty was made for you."

๐ŸŽ VIP Treatment

Before the paperwork, Adam had something else:

Signed memorabilia from the club

A custom license plate with "MG7"

A gifted detail package for two years

A framed photo of Mateo sitting in the car before purchase

And of course, Adam asked for only one thing in return:

"Could you sign my Cantona-era home kit?"

Mateo smiled and signed with a special note:"Thanks for helping me drive one of my dreams. โ€“ MG7"

๐Ÿซ Present Day โ€” University Visit

Back in the present, the engine purred softly as students began pouring out of class.

And thenโ€ฆ

Whispers.

Gasps.

Phones lifted.

"That's the new Bentley.""Waitโ€ฆ is thatโ€”Mateo Gonzรกlez?!""Oh my god, he's here!"

Mateo stepped out, leaned casually on the door, and scanned the crowd.

He spotted Klara exiting a building, holding books and wearing a simple white blouse.

"Need a ride, Miss Future Journalist?" he grinned.

Klara blinked. Then laughed.

"Seriously? You're that guy now?"

Before she could walk over, a crowd gathered โ€” students asking for autographs, photos, handshakes.

Mateo handled it all with humility and calm smiles.

And thenโ€”he opened the passenger door for Klara.

She stepped in with a soft blush.

๐ŸŽ“ University Aftershock

The buzz didn't stop.

Dozens of students snapped videos.

Mateo driving.Klara in the passenger seat.United's golden boy.And she โ€” his girlfriend.

By that evening, Klara's social media had doubled in followers.

"That was insane," she whispered later that night."I've never had people ask me who I was dating just to follow me."

Mateo pulled her close.

"They can follow all they want. But the passenger seat?That's always yours."
