“Hahaha, what is that brat doing? The others are already driving halfway up the mountain, yet he’s still dawdling at the starting line?”
“He must have known that there’s no hope for winning, so he just gave up!”
“Damn, that’s just embarrassing. How could someone like that be worthy of being Phoebe Larsen’s bodyguard?”
Everyone looked at the Mercedes-Benz GLC that had yet to move at all. They all laughed and pointed at it while hurling all kinds of taunts and abuse.
Even Cheryl was very anxious, so she rushed over to pat on the window consecutively. “Alex, Phoebe, what’s going on? Why haven’t you guys left yet? If you don’t go soon, you’re going to lose the competition!”
Alex glanced at Cheryl, who was outside and flashed her an ‘OK’ sign before finally stepping on the accelerator. As the Mercedes-Benz started up, the engine spinning wildly, making sounds that were almost like an old cow!
Everyone could see that Alex had already tried his best to accelerate the speed.
However, that was the limit of the GLC’s performance. No matter how fast it was, it was just at that level. It was incomparable with sports cars that were worth tens of millions of dollars at all.
Phoebe indeed liked car racing a lot.
She owned a sports car before and often came to Sakura Racing Club to race as well. However, since she became a doctor, she had sold her sports car and never came back. But, she was still well versed in car racing. In this situation, it was impossible for Alex to beat Joel.
Coupled with the fact that they had such a slow start, she could estimate by the time Alex had finished one lap, Joel would have done two laps.
However, she didn’t care about the bet between Alex and Joel at all.
Could it be that if Alex really lost, he really had to listen to Joel’s words and wouldn’t come looking for her anymore? If he didn’t come looking for her, she would take the initiative to look for him instead.
Meanwhile, Alex’s mind had been fixating on the mysterious mental power. It had always been there and it seemed neither close nor distant, yet it had never been withdrawn.
‘Who could it be?’
‘Judging by the strength of the mental power, it’s definitely not an ordinary person!’
‘Moreover, if it’s just an inadvertent sweep of the mental power, it definitely wouldn’t be like this. Since this mental power has always existed, it means that the person has been locked onto me to come after me.’
Compared to Joel’s competition, this hidden person posed a more powerful threat. Because of that, Alex’s driving speed had been slow and steady without speeding up.
At the same time, Joel’s super sports car was already ahead by thousands of meters.
On the runway of Crow Mountain at night, the sports car resembled a bright sword that pierced the sky, wandering maniacally on the winding mountain roads.
Judy, who sat in the passenger seat, yelled in excitement. She had also been in cars that had been driven by others, but compared with Joel, they just paled into insignificance. The way he drove was too exciting and crazy. Judy felt as though her heart was about to jump up to her throat. She glanced at Joel who was completely focused on driving as her eyes filled with admiration.
“Haha, Bro Quarters, I don’t even know how far away that stupid Rockefeller bodyguard has been shaken off. He actually wants to use an old Mercedes-Benz to win your super sports car that’s worth tens of millions of dollars. There’s really something wrong with his brain!”
“Bro Quarters, after winning against him, you can humiliate him severely and trample him under your feet!”
Meanwhile, Joel was thinking of another thing as he drove, and asked, “Judy, who was that other woman?”
It was because Cheryl had also caught his eyes. A beauty who was not any less than Phoebe and also her best friend. If he could get both and play together, that would be a life that was even happier than being a god. But, when he thought about the two women who had been toyed with by Alex, he felt incredibly depressed.
Judy said, “The woman? Her name is Cheryl Coney. She’s a classmate of my cousin in college and a doctor in California.”
Joel smiled and said, “Very good!”
He decided that he wanted this woman too.
