My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 355

Chapter 355

”This… this….” Jared was however not interested in the number. He was looking at car No.16, and the person inside the car was about to open the door and get out. It was only then a genuine smile appeared in his eyes.
He stood up, picked his coat up casually as he walked out.
Everyone looked on silently at car No.16, yet the main screen still did not give Nicole much screen time. They had no idea how she rushed towards the finish line.
Some were even questioning that since Nicole was driving so slowly initially and was trailing behind, could it be that the race club was cheating?
Thinking of this, the crowd started to clamor, saying that the club must have done something, and they deserved an answer! The club was not about to let itself being pushed over as they replaced the footage of when Nicole was still a quarter of the way to the peak. When they saw how agilely the purple-gray car darting between the cars, and even pulled off a highly difficult two-wheel ski at the most critical juncture, everyone’s expression instantly changed. ‘It was really that Koenigsegg!’ However, that was nothing. It was until car No.16 reaching the top of the mountain when the real fun began.
When that top-of-the-line car let out its excited roar, it blasted off like a launched crossbow bolt, and not unlike a roaring beast, it rushed towards the bottom of the mountain.
This speed was literally beyond the limits of normal human beings. Everyone looked on dumbstruck at the scene before them. They seemed to be seeing the car flying at every corner taken, yet it still rushed over unscathed and continued to speed forward without even losing speed. ‘What sort of control and reaction ability is this?!’
Until the very end, when the purple-gray soul of sports car finally overtook to the Pagani, a burst of cheers broke out inside the hearts of everyone.
Now that the proof was in the pudding, she was deserving of being the champion. Many of those who had questions all shut their mouths, leaving only a few unheard whispered about.
“Why did she drive so slowly at the start if she is this good? Is she just toying with us?!”
The person was furious from embarrassment. He had mocked Nicole earlier out of bias against girls racing and did not believe that Nicole could really win.
Many people glanced at him. ‘You were the one saying that she did not know how to race, and now you’re saying that she’s just toying with us?’
‘Wow, you sure have a say in everything.’ However, there were still a few that were influenced by him as they whispered among themselves, suspecting that the dealer was fixing the race. But soon, someone ripped their dirty fantasies apart as a knowledgeable person spoke up. “Keep your mouth shut if you’re ignorant. This is the rules for professional drivers from Mecrounia. Understanding the track and getting a grip on the map for the first part of the leg, and then going full speed on the second. This is how you get the best results. Didn’t you guys notice that No.16 was so close to the rest all this while? I guess the accelerator was not even halfway down.” When they heard this, everyone looked at this extremely beautiful car in a daze. After seeing that reversal earlier, all of them could believe that the driver was not even using half of the horsepower at the start! The Pagani behind too had come to a stop. Gary slowly lowered the window as he looked at the car with a complicated gaze.
He had thought that he was one of the best racers in Hustuaburg, yet he was somehow taught a lesson in humility today.
Car performance aside, the speed of his Pagani was already at the limit of a normal person. 700 brake horsepower was already the limits of his dynamic vision. Even if he had that Koenigsegg, he could not make use of the maximum horsepower available to the car.
There was always someone better and Gary admitted that his skill was not as good as that driver.
However, why he had not heard of such a person in San Joto before?
