"Hey, fancy seeing you again."
The girl's voice drifted to Jillian's ears on the hot wind, sounding almost enchanting. She stiffly turned her head to find Flora, who had caught up from behind and was now keeping pace beside her.
Flora looked effortlessly perfect—no sweat, not even slightly out of breath, her complexion glowing and her eyes half-lidded, almost sleepy.
Jillian tried to speak, but the hot air filled her throat, making it painful and itchy, rendering her speechless.
"You're doing pretty well," Flora remarked casually, jogging alongside her.
Jillian, with her military family background, had far better stamina than most, but this was beyond humiliating.
Her face turned beet red. "Get lost!"
She couldn't hold it in any longer and, forgetting she was still on a live broadcast, shouted from deep within her chest.
Flora raised an eyebrow, quickened her pace, and within seconds, left Jillian far behind.
Jillian tried to catch up but had no strength left. She stepped into a hole she hadn't noticed and tumbled to the ground, twisting her ankle.
She gritted her teeth and stood up, but after a few steps, she collapsed again, unable to go on.
One by one, the others caught up and overtook her. Kneeling on the ground, drained and exhausted, Jillian's eyes were filled with hatred for Flora.
Flora was miles ahead, running so fast that no one was even in sight behind her. The drone could only capture her.
With her unmatched skill, she turned the race into a one-woman show.
