“Brat, look here. This is Leena, a professional co-driver I hired from America. She’s professional. You know what? I paid her 60, 000 dollars.”
Brian poked his head out behind the blonde woman, looking arrogant.
“Look. We cannot be compared to them in the car and co-driver,” Robin darted at Nina and reminded her.
“What should we do then?”
Nina panicked. She was just a college girl. She lacked money and saw Robin drive the last time skillfully, so she wanted to earn some money by racing on the underground race track.
However, she knew nothing about car racing and never thought a co-driver was needed.
“Well, there’s only one way then,” Robin said solemnly.
“What’s it?” Nina tugged his sleeve.
“Remember the last time? If you admit me to be your brother-in-law and say I’m your hero, I’ll probably drive fast and win the first prize. But you must be faithful. You must believe I deserve Elise the most. Or it won’t work.”
“Really?”
Nina’s eyebrows came together in question as she stared up at Robin, wondering if he was lying to her.
Suddenly, all the other cars roared. After a gunshot, they rushed out. However, the Honda remained at its spot.
Brian’s complacent voice was heard. “Haha… Can you drive or not? I gotta run. The girl belongs to me now!”
“Dream on!” Nina was so angry that her cheeks bulged.
Immediately, she said to Robin, “Robin, my dear brother-in-law, hurry. Let’s catch up with him. Show him how excellent your driving skill is!”
She couldn’t do anything else but admit Robin to be her brother-in-law. She wanted to snatch the straws.
“No problem!”
Her words delighted Robin. He started the Honda’s engine. However, it was much slower than starting a racing car’s engine.
When the Honda entered the race track, no racing car was in sight.
The race track was built nearby several mountains, and the cars would circle them. Therefore, the area was huge, but the road was full of hairpin bends. It was a challenging track.
Meanwhile, the UAVs for live broadcast followed the cars, and a professional anchor was broadcasting.
“Hey, guys. I’m Liam Jackson, an anchor of professional car racing for eight years.”
A mid-aged man’s figure was shown on the LED screen. He had a beard, wearing golden-rimmed glasses, looking professional. However, excitement was written in his voice.
He was a well-known anchor for this underground race track.
“This match is extraordinary. First, Timothy Buosont, the most outstanding driver, joined this match. It’s the first one during his break after he gained the championship last time. However, most of our audience still thinks he will win the first prize this time. Other professional racing drivers like Huge Iliugane and Brian Chase are also in this match. It’ll be a terrific match for sure.”
“However, I heard a Honda also joined this match. I’ve been an anchor in car racing for eight years, but I’ve never seen a Honda racing against other racing cars. In every aspect, a Honda cannot be compared to a professional racing car, especially its price. I wonder if the Honda driver is joking. However, since he has the guts to join this match, he should have a trump card. Let’s check where it is now.”
“UAV, please show us its picture.”
As the word fell from Liam’s lip, scenes appeared on the LED screen through the UAV cameras. However, after looking for a long time, they failed to find the Honda.
“Where has the Honda gone? Did its rush to the first place? That’s too amazing.”
“The first place? It should be Timothy’s car. Besides, there were several professional racing drivers in the match. This match has been the fiercest competition since the beginning of this year. How could the Honda be the first place? Stop kidding with me.”
“It’s hard to say. Frank House is also a famous driver here. He bet 20, 000 dollars on the Honda, so he’s self-confident.”
The audience discussed, even wondering if the Honda had already reached first place.
Suddenly, the anchor’s voice sounded again, “I found it. Gosh! How could the Honda be here?”
The audience looked up at the LED screen and saw a map.
“Well, I was wrong about the Honda. It’s still in the first section. The last groups of the racing cars ahead had reached the fifth section. I don’t think the Honda has a trump card. There are 32 sections for this match. Timothy Buosont is still the first place. He has reached the seventh section. Several were on the sixth section.”
The anchor pointed at the screen, and the sixth section’s scene was shown. He added excitedly, “Guys, let’s ignore that Honda. It’s far behind the front cars. There would be all hairpin bends after the first section. I don’t think it’ll catch up with others. Let’s watch the competition in the sixth section.”
“Haha… How hilarious! Who has just said Honda was in the first place? It’s far behind the other cars, still in the first section. Jesus! My belly aches.”
“The Honda is still on the first section, but Brian Chase has been on the sixth. How could the Honda overtake him? There will be bunches of hairpin bends afterward. It can never make it. Honda will be the last price.”
“As I said earlier, a Honda costs less than 10, 000 dollars in the market. How could it compete with those professional racing cars? The two clowns!”
All the audience laughed loudly while watching the scene. They didn’t see the Honda for a while because they didn’t think Honda could be so far behind.
It was still running on the first section.
Hence, many people stared at Frank as if he was an idiot, shaking their heads. They wondered why Frank was so stupid to bet on Honda to win.
Frank’s best friend walked to him, patted his shoulder, and consoled him, “Frank, cheer up. It was only 20, 000 dollars. Anyway, I remembered that were all your savings. You’ll lose them all. What will you do with your younger sister’s tuition fee? No worries. I’ll help you later.”
He actively wanted to financially help Frank. Evidently, they were close.
However, Frank gazed at the screen without blinking. “Sean, I’ll treat you to a feast later,” he muttered.
