With that, Mason ended the call. Surprised to learn that Janet was actually such a big fan of racing, he reckoned he should head straight to the race track later on. Had she fallen in love with the sport ever since he brought her to have a taste of racing? If that was the case, he was determined to impress her this time! With that thought in mind, his exquisitely handsome face broke into a charming smile.
Meanwhile, Sean was massaging his arm beside him, thinking he had no means to keep up with Mason’s fluctuating mood…
…
At the race track in Sandfort City, the commentator of the race shouted excitedly, “Hedd Cardiff who’s been leading the race has just been overtaken by the young girl! At this moment, the young girl is the fastest racer and she’s so good that she’s maintained a considerable distance between herself and the rest of the racers!”
The atmosphere at the race track was fraught with tension, the racers trying their best to overtake the young girl. The last thing Hedd Cardiff wanted was to be defeated by a young girl. If she really managed to come out victorious, he would be too embarrassed to remain as a professional racer.
At that instant, he decided to use his trump card; he floored the accelerator and swerved his car toward Janet’s Venom, hitting the body of her car violently. He was willing to sacrifice his chance at winning as long as he could ensure Janet did not win it.
“Oh no! Hedd Cardiff’s car just crashed with the girl’s Venom! Is Hedd Cardiff trying to take her down with him? Goodness gracious! Venom has been knocked out of the track by the impact!”
As the commentary was ongoing, all the spectators present were watching the scene in utter disbelief, worried how the young girl would fare. If her car moved beyond the billboard outside the track, she would be out of the running for the championship!
Holding his breath, Lee glued his eyes on Janet’s car. How dare Hedd Cardiff bully her! Meanwhile, The Beasts gritted their teeth and flexed their arms resentfully; the sight of Janet being bullied by Hedd drove them up the wall.
Meanwhile, Janet had underestimated Hedd’s viciousness and did not expect him to hit her car with one of his typical moves. Clutching the steering wheel tightly with her slender arms, Janet pulled off a drift. She pushed the tyres to their limits, relishing the screeching sound caused by the friction between the tyres and the road. The ferocious sound of an engine revving came shortly after that.
The spectators went into an uproar, cheering for her performance. As it turned out, the young girl managed to handle the obstacle well.
Just as everyone assumed her car would be sent flying off the tracks because of the crash, she executed a decisive and sharp drift with an ear-splitting screech, forcing her car back on track and leaving Hedd’s car some distance behind. If it wasn’t for watching the slow-motion playback, no one would have been able to see her car clearly just now. Instantly, the spectators erupted into rapturous cheers.
“That girl must be the next top racer!”
“Besides Dark and Night Shadow, I cannot believe that there is someone who can drive a car so fast!”
“That’s one hell of a move!”
Gaping at Janet’s car which sped past in the blink of an eye, Hedd’s eyes filled with surprise and irritation.
H-How is that possible?
“That was really cool! Throughout the many years that I’ve worked as a commentator, this is my very first time witnessing something like that! She’s marvelous!”
The Beasts shouted in exhilaration in the spectators’ seat upon hearing the commentator.
Despite looking unruffled in response to the cheers from the spectators, Janet could barely conceal the roguish smirk on her face, making her look captivating. Just as she was about to remove her helmet, a black sports car suddenly materialized in front of her. That car belonged to… Mason!
Why was he here all of a sudden? Had he already found out her identity? In spite of the confusion, she left her helmet on and continued the race as if she had never seen him.
Meanwhile, Henry smiled bemusedly at Mason who made a sudden appearance, thinking, Here comes Young Master Mason. He knew Mason wouldn’t be able to resist something as exciting as a race. And, the reason why Mason was here was because he wanted Janet to watch him in action.
