“Hey Johnny, has your brother married?”
Peter leans slightly over to Johnny and asked doubtfully.
Why doesn’t he know that Allen had married and has a wife? Was Johnny trying to fool them?
Peter was doubtful because everyone in Freemantle City knows that Allen does not womanize.
He was always very calm and collected when dealing with daily matters. That’s why when he heard that he was married, he was equally shocked.
“Of course it’s real. If not go ahead and ask your second brother. My brother and her had already collected their marriage certificate. Do you think that’s real or fake?”
“That can’t be right. Then why does Uncle Tim plan to betroth the Bruce family daughter to your brother? Something’s not right!” Peter can’t wrap his head around this fact and remained confused.
“Yo, so what!” Johnny laughed. He felt uneasy and upset when others asked about his family matters.
At this moment, a delicate and pretty image started to emerge from the dark.
Johnny saw that it was Belle and shouted excitedly. He ran over to Belle, laughing happily, “Belle, you’re finally here. It was tough waiting for you!” When Johnny ran over, Peter followed closely.
Peter’s expression was of respect and congratulatory, “Belle, how do you do? I’m Peter, a good friend of Johnny’s!”
“Hi!” Belle smiled at Peter and nodded.
The rest of them looked towards Belle. She looked cool, had a great figure and so irresistibly pretty that they looked a couple of times.
They didn’t expect the most eligible bachelor in Freemantle City to like such a hottie. It appeared that he had good taste.
Belle looked coldly at the scene. The noisy racecar circuit occasionally broke out in cheers. The roaring of the engines, blaring of horns, the atmosphere was thick with the passion for cars.
“You race?” Belle raised her eyebrow, she didn’t expect Johnny to like such an exciting activity.
“Heh heh, Sis, you can’t tell my brother about this. Otherwise, he’ll cripple me!” Johnny was coy towards Belle and joked.
Belle nodded, “Go ahead, what do you need from me?”
“I’ll explain.” Peter smiled as he walked to Belle.
“This racing circuit holds several underground racing events. Each time racing teams will put up their driver and bet on the race. Today perhaps we didn’t choose the drivers properly and lost all the races and our money. Now we hope that you can help us with some capital. Heh heh.”
After Peter finished, both he and Johnny looked at Belle, worried that she will not agree to it. Then they would have lost everything tonight and go home empty-handed.
After she heard the explanation, Belle understood. She didn’t expect that the capital of Z country would have such an underground racing circuit and in such a format. It was rather interesting and somehow she felt rather attracted to it. Belle started to warm up to the idea and felt the desire to fight back.
“How much have you lost?”
“Six million. That’s all the combined living allowances of all the team members. Belle, you must help us recoup some of the losses, otherwise, we would have lost everything!”
Johnny was getting more pitiful as he spoke and looked desperately at Belle.
“What are the rules?” Belle didn’t even look at Johnny and fixated on the racing track.
“What?” Johnny and Peter were confused and didn’t understand what she meant.
“I asked, what are the rules of the race?”
Belle turned her gaze at Johnny and asked.
“Oh, this is what you asked.” Johnny remarked in surprise.
“Today’s race has six teams. Each team has five drivers. The top three teams will enter the final round. For the final round, each team will pick one driver to race. Belle, do you know what is the prize for the champion?”
“What?” Belle was very curious.
“Ten million!” Johnny said in excitement.
Belle was shocked to hear that the grand prize is ten million. That is very enticing.
“Which round are you at now?”
“The last round. If we win this then we are the third team and we will have the chance for the grand prize. If we lose, then it’s game over!”
“What are the odds?” Belle looked at the drivers in the team and asked.
“Our team is fourth, now the odds are one to six!”
“Go, place a bet of ten million. Bet that we win!” Belle looked at Johnny and said coolly.
“Ten… ten million?”
Johnny was stunned when he heard the figure. He looked with his mouth open at Belle. Even Peter was shocked.
“Sis, are you sure that you want to bet ten million? Sure?” Johnny felt like crying, he felt that his brother valued her more than him. He gave Belle so much money and won’t give him a cent!
Johnny regarded this money as given by his brother and didn’t think further about it.
But she was about to give him so much money. What if they were to lose this ten million?
Their team did not have a good chance of winning. Their odds of losing was about seventy to eighty percent. If they lose this, then all the money would be gone.
“Rest assured, I’m here, we won’t lose!”
Belle said with confidence. Peter couldn’t believe what he saw.
“Johnny, what’s Belle’s background? Why do I feel that her character is as strong as your brother!” Peter leaned into Johnny and said in his ear.
Johnny gently frowned and shook his head, “To tell you the truth, I don’t even know. But I believe that a person who can get my brother to like her is no ordinary person!”
“Then, are we really betting this ten million? What if we lose. The final drivers of the teams are all experts!” Peter can’t help but reminded him.
“Bet, let’s do it. Since she said to bet. I’ll believe her this time. We must talk to Dane and let him give his all. My sister-in-law will be betting ten million on him!” Johnny clenched his teeth.
“Let’s hope that we win!” Peter frowned and remained extremely worried.
