The starting lights suddenly flashed on.
The red lights began beeping out a countdown.
The massive screens around the speedway displayed the countdown numbers.
Then, the red lights went out, and the green lights blazed.
"ROAR—"
The thunderous sound of engines ripped through the air.
Six motorcycles shot forward like predators released from their cages.
The sleek, silver-and-black bike, in the very first second, launched like a cannonball, instantly pulling ahead by several bike lengths!
"Whoa!"
A wave of disbelieving gasps swept through the audience.
That speed...
She was dominating them right from the start!
In the viewing area, Hailey shot to her feet, her sweet and delicate makeup unable to hide the shock on her face. "How... how could she? How is that even possible..."
Didn't Mom say Serena grew up in the countryside?
That she was nothing more than a country bumpkin, a total nobody!
How could a hick from the sticks know anything about motorcycles, let alone racing?
Brandon's face was contorted in a sneer, his eyes fixed on the silver-and-black motorcycle that was leading the pack. His grin widened.
Go ahead!
Let her push it!
The faster she goes now.
The more the upcoming turns will become a death trap for her!
Soon, Serena entered a turn.
Turns were the best places on the track to overtake someone.
Silver Ghost, riding the Dark Serpent GT, had sharp, predatory eyes under his helmet.
He gunned the engine, and the Dark Serpent GT shot forward like a shadow, hugging the inside line.
At the same time, his finger moved, and he honked his horn.
Just as Serena's Ghost was about to hit the most critical point of the turn.
Silver Ghost forced his bike forward, squeezing her aggressively.
The evidence in the fuel tank would be gone forever!
Everything could be blamed on Silver Ghost, and he would have nothing to do with it.
Aboard the silver-and-black motorcycle.
Serena glanced at her rearview mirror, taking in everyone's intentions and trajectories.
Beneath her silver-and-black helmet, her expression was unchanged, but her bright eyes were filled with a spark of elation and excitement.
After four years.
This long-lost, blood-pumping feeling...
It was absolutely exhilarating!
In the rearview mirror, Silver Ghost's predatory eyes met Serena's.
He steered the Dark Serpent GT at a sharp angle across the inside line, moving in an unnatural trajectory, aiming to ram straight into Serena!
His assault was fierce, carrying the force of a battering ram.
"Holy crap! That Rookie King is insane! He races like he doesn't care if anyone lives or dies, but he's even willing to risk his own life to take someone out!"
"Wasn't he famous for his dirty tricks? Why is he being so blatant about it this time?"
