In the comprehensive assessment of the optimal scheme of the whole road, the car dismissed the threat of the boulders, road bumps, and the hidden dangers of the vehicles in front of it, driving steadily on the road. Nicole was not worried. She knew that in terms of racing, this car could not win. A race car was a product of the racer’s pursuit of excitement. It was not a product of advanced technology
. Even if it got first place, would the racer be happy? Would it be his glory or the glory of technology? Eric did not care. His mind was not here. Nicole picked up her cup to take a sip of coffee and looked up, suddenly feeling a gaze on her. She subconsciously looked over. Eric’s cold and dark eyes stared at her, as complicated as a mess in the night, not hiding nor flashing.
Nicole nonchalantly averted her gaze and looked at the video. The car was in overtake mode. Perhaps it felt that it was time. Thus, it kept leaving the other vehicles behind. The other cars did not pay attention to this low-key car at first. After all, the racer was a name they had never heard of before, and this car had no brilliant records. What was there to worry about? However, the car gradually reached the middle. The advantages of the car were fully demonstrated. It was stable, yet it had the energy to charge. It had great sustainability.
There were only two cars left in front of it. If things went on like this, those two cars would most likely be overtaken. However, the drivers of these two cars were the constant winners in the championship standings. They were competing with each other. It was clear that the racer in the lead was very skillful. The car was extremely flexible and could perfectly cope with the corners and side turns
. The car in the back just barely managed to keep up. The road ahead was about to converge into a narrow lane. The car behind was desperate to win against the car in front, but it did not expect the car in front to suddenly accelerate and enter the narrow road. He fell behind. However, the next second, a black shadow suddenly flashed by and swiftly swept past his eyes. It was over.
The narrow lane only allowed one car to pass. The first and second place no longer belonged to him. The champion was destined to be someone else. It was only a split-second reaction, but he was overtaken by that black car. He had never cared about that car behind him. However, he lost. In the office. Gerard became even more excited. He watched the video nervously while looking at Nicole. “
Ms. Stanton, he’s in second place now. He’s about to be first. Are you really not going to change your mind?” Gerard could not forget that Nicole said they “could not win”. He took it personally. If they won, it meant that there was a lot of room for expansion in racing.
Nicole pursed her lips and smiled. “He can’t win.” Then, she looked at Gerard. “Do you wanna bet?” Gerard smiled. “Wouldn’t that just be bullying you? Sure…” She had plenty of money anyway. In that case, he would just let her lose. “S1 million.” Nicole spoke casually. Gerard paused. “Sure.”
A million dollars was not a small amount to Gerard, but Nicole said it so easily as if she was giving away money to him. There was no reason to refuse! Gerard looked up. The black shadow seemed to be ready to charge. After the narrow lane, it opened up to a wide lane where it was possible to overtake others, but only for a distance of 1oo feet. Losing this 1oo feet was the same as losing the last chance at being champion.
That was because the destination was just 1000 feet away. The car in front was clinging to this narrow lane in an attempt to pull away. However, it did not help. The black silhouette was hot on his heels like an actual shadow, biting onto him and not letting go.
