Almost all of those in the city who excelled in Mathematics would participate in the Math Olympiad competition, but only very few of them would win a prize. For someone at Elise‘s level, there was a slim chance to win. Hence, it was almost certain that Danny would win.
Although the outcome was predicted, he couldn‘t help but feel proud. He was finally getting rid of the ugly monster. Therefore, he had his chin up for the coming few days as triumph was written all over his face. It was especially evident whenever he picked her up.
“Ugly Elise, it‘s another day less of seeing you.”
Hearing that, she snorted. “Childish.” She didn‘t feel affected by his insults at all as she was completely invested in her race with Alexander.
Jamie had already set a date and time with the other party.
‘Boss, this Sunday at 8 o‘clock. Black Dragon Tunnel. Looking at the message Jamie had sent her, Elise replied with an emoticon of an OK hand gesture.
That day after school, Elise used the excuse of hanging with her classmates with the Griffiths.
“Grandpa Griffith, I‘ll be going to my friend‘s place to hang out at night, so I won‘t be coming back. Don‘t worry about me.”
“Okay. Be careful outside.” Jonah acknowledged before he hung up the phone.
Putting the phone back into her pocket, Elise waited for Jamie to pick her up. She then removed her makeup and changed her clothes, revealing her fair, flawless face. Usually, she wore a wig and had makeup on to disguise herself. She did it so often that she almost forgot how she actually looked.
Now that she was looking into the mirror without her disguise, she saw a youthful young girl. With that,
she couldn‘t help but smile. To avoid getting recognized by Alexander, not only did she have a change of clothes and makeup, she even put on a fox mask.
Jamie had brought Elise to the garage leading to the Supercar C–001. Seated in the driver‘s seat, Elise skillfully stepped on the gas pedal to the max, bringing the car to great speed in the next second.
Soon, the night came. Fortunately, nights in the summer were not too dark. With just the right amount of wind blowing, it felt relaxing.
At 8 o‘clock sharp, she arrived at Black Dragon Tunnel punctually. She then took the initiative to greet Alexander. “I didn‘t expect that you‘d be so punctual.”
Elise had a very different image today as if she was another person, so he didn‘t notice anything off at
“You can decide on the rules.”
At once, a smirk crept up her lips. “Two laps around the tunnel road. Whoever gets to the finish line first wins.”
“Sure, no problem.” Both of them seemed to have come to a mutual understanding. Not long after, they stepped on the gas pedal in sync before their cars sped through the spiral road ahead.
Since young, she was very into car racing because she liked the feeling of speed. She dug the adrenaline that pumped in her veins as she sped through the road. However, her sainily had always thought that it was too dangerous, so they never approved of it.
Every time, she had to secretly practice driving. She would even take part in some racing competitions from time to time. Things had just come to a slower pace these recent years. Now that she was back behind the wheels, excitement and passion filled her eyes. With her foot fully stepped down on the gas, she was overwhelmed with the joy of speed.
As she skillfully handled the wheel, it didn‘t take long before he was behind her. From the rear mirror, she took a glance at the car that was chasing her end before a smile was formed on her lips. At this moment, she pulled a beautiful 360–degree drift that‘d make one feel overwhelmed. It was such a dangerously beautiful car racing technique that was executed flawlessly.
Meanwhile, Alexander, whose vehicle was still behind hers, had witnessed that. At once, his eyes were
filled with excitement. It‘s her! It really is her! He had finally found her!
Happiness was plastered on his face. Immediately, he stepped on the gas pedal to catch up with her.
On the Black Dragon road, two speeding cars were in an intense race. In no time, the cars were side by–side. At this moment, Alexander couldn‘t hide his excitement anymore and asked, “What‘s your name?”
Nonetheless, she could only feel the wind in her ears, and not a word that he said. “What did you say?”
He then said louder, “Are you Sue? The champion of the international competition three years ago?”
The car was still going at a high speed, and she couldn‘t hear a thing of what he said. Giving him a confused look, she decided to speed up and listen to him at the finish line.
Her tone was obviously very urgent. Before the phone call ended, she had already reached his vehicle. From the window, she could see that he had already lost consciousness. At the same time, she noted a thick gasoline smell in the air.
When Jamie had arrived, he couldn‘t consider too many factors. He quickly rushed to them before asking in concern, “Boss, how are you? Are you alright? I‘ll send you to the hospital immediately.”
that point, the blood had already clotted, and she didn‘t really feel much pain. Her eyes were dark as they were filled with sadness.
“How‘s Alexander? Is his life in danger?” Danny asked the doctor in a very anxious tone The doctor then answered truthfully, “Aside from outer injuries, there isn‘t much trauma on his body. However, we will only be sure after a thorough examination. Please be patient.”
