“Remember? Haha… Frank House, what’s wrong with you? Think that Honda will win the match? Are you kidding me? We’re not playing house,” the bald man retorted ironically.
His name was Hugh Iliugane, a local racing driver from Stillwater. He was as outstanding as Frank in racing, one of the top ten drivers of the underground match. Unlike Frank, he joined this match, and the number of his vehicle was 5.
“Be patient, Hugh Iliugane. You’ll shed tears later.”
Since Frank encountered Robin on the street that day, he had become Robin’s super fan. In his opinion, Frank was the most outstanding racing driver of this era. Compared to him, other racing drivers in the match were all junks.
“Haha… How arrogant! Since you believe the Honda will win, I’ll show you how I crash the car, so you’ll know what good driving skills are like. First prize? I’ll let him have no chance to win a rank.”
A fierceness flashed through Hugh’s eyes.
If something was wrong with the car or if the car was damaged during the match, it had to quit without any ranks.
After Frank was gone, Hugh pulled out his phone and sent out a message. “Guys, Frank House believed Honda could win against us. He bet 20, 000 dollars on this. He looks down on us indeed, doesn’t he?”
“Frank House? That scum! He’s only the 10th in this race track. I’m the 5th. I’ll also join this match. Let’s crash the Honda later.”
“Me too. Frank House is too arrogant. Even he cannot win against us.”
“I want to see how skillful the Honda’s driver is. Frank House is always stingy, but he has bet on 20, 000 dollars.”
Hugh’s words successfully irritated all the racing drivers of the match.
They had been racing on this underground track for years. Most of them were excellent at car racing, so they were proud of their skills. Hugh’s words annoyed them.
Hugh sneered, “Honda guy, you are so doomed. 23 out of 24 cards are hostile to you. I wonder what you’ll do.”
Frank’s bet was also spread on the scene. Many racing drivers wanted to compete against the Honda.
“Hey, bad guy, heard of it? A guy named Frank House bet you would win the first prize. He bet on 20, 000 dollars. I heard he was always stingy, but he offered 20, 000 dollars.”
Nina approached Robin as she spoke. Looking up at him, she asked, “Is he out of his mind?”
Robin replied, “YOU are out of your mind.”
“I’m serious. I know you’ll lose for sure. He even bet you would win the first prize. What’s his problem?” Nina retorted while holding her arms, unconvinced.
“What if I won?”
“What if? You said you lack the confidence to win. I’d rather run away if two people weren’t requested to sit in a car. I shouldn’t have taken you here. Alas…”
Nina rubbed her forehead. Earlier, she wanted to let Robin earn money for her, thinking he might win the third prize. However, she became a counter to gambling somehow.
Suddenly, a man announced through the speakers, “Ladies and gentlemen, the match will start soon. Drivers, please get ready. The match will start in five minutes.”
“The match will start soon.”
Nina heaved a sigh. “Anyway, just make every possible effort.”
A passerby heard her words, shaking his head. “Make every possible effort? Everyone is discussing your Honda. Almost 20 million dollars have been bet on your failure. Make an effort? Good luck.”
“Gosh! We’re so doomed.”
Nina looked desperate. She aimed to make some money but would have to become a playboy’s girlfriend later.
“Let’s roll. As you said, make every possible effort.”
Robin walked toward the Honda.
Nina sighed again but couldn’t do anything. She had accepted her fate, wishing she could find an opportunity to escape after the match ended. However, she would definitely let Elise give Robin a hard time if she returned home.
She would punish Robin fiercely.
However, Nina was also worried that she might be unable to go home.
Five minutes later, 24 cars were lined up on the track. Almost everyone focused on the last one with the sign of No. 24, a Honda. Compared to the racing cars with streamlined designs, Honda looked huge and dumb.
The racing cars’ heights even didn’t reach half of the Honda.
“Who will win the first prize today? Several famous racing drivers joined this match, like Hugh Iliugane and Timothy Buosont. Especially Timothy Buosont. He’s been ranked as No. 1 in the past five years.”
“I heard of him as well. After gaining the championship last time, he took a break for several months. He joined this match to get relaxed. In short, he will race for fun. But I’m sure he’ll win the first prize today.”
“Why don’t you think the Honda will win the first prize?” a man chimed in.
Others stared at him wordlessly. One retorted, “Did you get infected by Frank House? What’s wrong with you? Not to mention those outstanding drivers like Timothy Buosont, the Honda can never win against any of the rest drivers.”
Nearly no one in the scene believed Robin would win the match. Otherwise, the bet on his failure wouldn’t have reached almost 20 million dollars.
In the Honda, Robin had put on a racing suit and a helmet, sitting in the driver’s seat. Nina sat in the passenger’s seat, curiously looking around.
“Nina, do you know what the person in the passenger’s seat usually does in a match?” Robin asked.
“What to do? Just sit and watch, right? Usually, it’s a woman sitting in the passenger’s seat.”
“The person in the passenger’s seat should determine the wind direction, OK? Well. Forget it. I’ll do it myself.”
Robin flicked his hand and gave up on Nina. She hadn’t graduated from college and knew nothing. The person in the passenger’s seat was the co-driver, in charge of testing the wind direction and navigation during a match.
“Sorry,” Nina apologized.
She had never known about it. She thought the driver let a pretty girl sit in the passenger’s seat during a match to show off.
Suddenly, No. 7 and No. 23 switched their signs and positions. No. 23 stopped next to the Honda. The window of the passenger’s seat was pressed down, revealing a blonde woman. In the driver’s seat sat Brian.
