Chapter 867: Duke It Out
It had been so many years since they last saw each other. Some of their memories had collected dust, but that did not mean they never happened.
Back then, a girl appeared out of nowhere. At a young age, she swept all the big awards and made a name for herself in the circle. She gathered a group of drivers who liked racing and organized a team together. She personally named the team and led them to write a glorious legacy.
When the name of the team was deeply engraved in the hearts of everyone in the circle, she disappeared without a trace, just like when she appeared.
“Asteria…” The blonde, blue-eyed European youth looked at the slender girl in front of him and could not help but blurt out. Although she was not wearing a mask this time, he could recognize her at a glance.
Because she was the only person in the world who had such amazing driving skills.
And that look in her eyes, untamed and arrogant, as if she did not care about anyone.
“No way, Boss?!” Gerry looked at Chris in shock and his eyes fell onto the woman across him. Seeing her posture and the car behind her, he swallowed silently. This kind of car was indeed something Boss would like. It was very domineering.
“If you want to know if this person is Boss, it’s simple. Boss is proficient in all kinds of languages. Can’t we just test her out with different languages?” Someone suggested.
“Yes, this is a good idea!” Someone agreed immediately.
Xia Ning heard their words and curled her lips a little. She walked over and said with a smile, “I’ve only been away from the team for a few years and everyone doesn’t remember me anymore? Looks like you need to be taught a lesson. So, are you interested in having a race first? Take out your real skills!”
When these words were out, the team members looked at each other and said at once, “If that’s the case, let’s have a match. Whether a donkey or a horse will always need to practice.”
“Kelly, some Chinese words are not translated like that.” Xia Ning could not help but frown. “My ears hurt.”
“Wow, this must be Asteria. Only she would be so harsh on Chinese words,” someone whispered.
“What’s there to believe? Let’s compete first!”
“Sure!” All the team members returned to their cars immediately.
Xia Ning watched them get into the car and got in herself. Everyone set the rules and set out to compete against Xia Ning alone.
The car Xia Ning chose was the king of race cars. Additionally, she had very good skills. Even though she had not driven for a long time, she was already familiarized with it using today’s practice. Now that they were competing, it was very easy.
Twenty minutes after the race started, Xia Ning’s car left Chris and the others behind and the distance kept expanding.
In a compet.i.tion with a true expert, victory and defeat were not the most important things. The most important thing was what one could receive after losing.
Chris and the others who were chasing after them looked at the almost perfect drift with shock in their eyes. When the car was swerving the best route, there were only five centimeters between the car and the guardrail. This distance made people break out in cold sweat.
The finish line was at the top of the mountain. The wind carried away the tension from the intense racing that ended just now. All the pores on one’s body relaxed.
Xia Ning was standing in front with a cigarette in her hand, blowing smoke out of her mouth.
Chris stood next to her and sighed. “I didn’t expect that after so many years, your skills are still as good as ever. Looks like you’ve put in a lot of effort regularly.”
“When I left the team back then, I promised you I would never give up on racing. I’m a woman of my words,” Xia Ning said calmly.
“But back then, you said you would never step foot on the racetrack again. Why did you go back on your words this time?” Chris looked at Xia Ning and waited for her answer.
Xia Ning looked at Chris and raised her eyebrows. She explained why she was here. “I heard Aaron Su also likes to race. He happens to be among your compet.i.tors this time. I want to duke it out with him.”
