Chapter 42: Competing Against Timothy

Book:The Warlord Is Back Published:2024-5-1

“How could it be possible? No way! The track is full of turns.”
Brian looked at the Honda behind his car in irritation, almost going crazy. He had already become the second place, but the Honda still caught up with him.
He wondered if it was really a Honda.
“The Honda caught up with Brian. What a miracle! It has become a black horse in this match. It had become third place. No. 23, Brian, is right in front. I’m sure you all know their bet, which has been spread here. Let’s watch if the Honda can overtake No. 23.”
“No. 23 sped up. Holy shit! It’s stopped across the road.”
The anchor looked at Brian’s car. Much to everyone’s surprise, Brian stopped the car across the road after making a narrow turn, blocking the Honda’s way.
“This narrow bend only allows a single car to pass. Brian’s car was stopped across it to block the Honda’s way. It seems Brian has realized this Honda is different from the usual ones and decided to make it quit the match,” the anchor explained after understanding what Brian aimed for.
“Humph! I’m blocking your way. If you quit the match, I won’t lose our bet.”
Brian chuckled evilly. His racing car was professional with an airbag. Even if the Honda bumped into his car, he would be safe. Besides, he knew the Honda wouldn’t dare to hit him.
Everyone wise knew how famous Brian was in Stillwater. He was sure the Honda wouldn’t have the guts to hit his car. Once he had an accident, his family wouldn’t let go of Robin.
“The Honda is approaching. I’m sure it’ll slow down. The driver won’t have the guts to hit Brian’s car. Once there’s an accident… That’s what Brian thinks… Wait! The Honda didn’t slow down… It’ll hit Brian’s car… Ah! It bumped into No. 23.”
When the anchor screamed, a loud bang was heard.
The Honda hit No. 23 mercilessly. Although it bumped into the car back, No. 23 circled and hit the mountain.
“Shit! How dare you hit me! Aren’t you afraid of my family?”
Brian felt dizzy but didn’t get injured. However, he cursed loudly. Even if he failed, he would drag the Honda into the mere, and no other drivers dared to use the same strategy as he did.
However, the Honda didn’t fear him at all.
He wondered if the Honda driver had a death wish.
Shortly after, Brian realized that he had lost the bet. He spent almost a million on his racing car but was defeated by a Honda.
“The Honda successfully overtook Brian and became the second place. It’s indeed a miracle. This is the most incredible match in the recent 10 years. The Honda is the biggest black horse tonight.”
“However, mind you, many of our audience bet the Honda will lose.”
The anchor’s words paled many people. At the last second, they enjoyed watching such a fantastic match. However, they suddenly recalled that they had bet the Honda would lose.
“Ah! I bet the Honda would be the last place, on 10, 000 bucks. I’m so doomed! Alas…”
“10, 000 bucks? I bet the Honda would lose to No. 23, on 24, 000 dollars.”
“Not my day. How could the Honda be so tough! Next time, I’ll put a bet on the Honda.”
All the audience discussed, some of which looked at Frank. He bet the Honda would win, which had been spread throughout the underground race track.
They believed he would make a fortune this time.
“Why do you panic?”
A man flicked his hand and reminded them, “He bet the Honda would win. Do you know what he bet on? He bet it would win the first prize. First prize? Haha… If Timothy didn’t join the match, the Honda would be the first prize. Unfortunately, Timothy joined this match and is in the 27th section. He’ll arrive at the destination soon.”
“You are right. Frank House bet the Honda would win the first prize.”
“Haha… Then he won’t make any money. I thought it was his day. He would lose his money for sure. I wonder what was in his mind. If he only bet the Honda would win the second prize, he would make a fortune indeed.”
Others mocked Frank again.
Sean kindly patted Frank’s shoulder. “What were you thinking? You were just one step away from making a fortune. If you bet the Honda would win the second prize, you would earn a lot of money this time.”
“You are wrong.”
Frank gazed at the screen. “He’s caught up with Timothy.”
“What?”
Sean was taken aback.
The next second, the anchor announced excitedly, “The Honda has caught up with Timothy after running three sections. Now, No. 1 and No. 24 were both on the 30th section. Two more sections to the destination. Will the Honda overtake Timothy’s car and break his record? Let’s stay tuned.”
“My goodness! He’s caught up with Timothy.”
“The Honda is something. How could it catch up with Timothy so fast? I hope Timothy will win.”
“Impossible! The Honda won’t win against Timothy at all. Timothy joined this match during his break, so he didn’t take it seriously. Just wait and see. If he was serious, he would get rid of the Honda for sure.”
“I agree. It’s a shabby Honda. How could it be compared to Timothy? Who does that bastard think he is? Just a scum.”
Some audience believed the Honda would create another miracle, but more believed the Honda would be defeated by Timothy. After all, Timothy had been the champion of underground car racing for over six years and had never been defeated.
Right then, Timothy also noticed the Honda in the rearview mirror. He chuckled, “Interesting. How dare a Honda compete with me! I’ll show you what the real driving skill is.”
He stepped on the gas.
Earlier, he hadn’t been serious in the match at all. Now, he had used all his competence that made him the champion for the past six years. After speeding up, he distanced his car from the Honda.
Therefore, the Honda remained on the 30th section, and No. 1 entered the 31st.
“Timothy has become serious. He sped up and got rid of the Honda instantly. This section is full of turns. However, Timothy accelerated his car without hesitation. That’s why he has been the champion for six years… Wait a minute! What is the Honda doing? My gosh! It sped up… It rushed forward… Look at them!”
The anchor gaped at the scene in disbelief, unable to utter a word.
