“Wait!”

Zhou Chao and Qin Fen both turned their attention to Liu Xu.

“Do you have anything else in mind?” Qin Fen looked impatient, feeling like Liu Xu was just playing with them.

“Didn’t you say that Young Master Zhou wants to race with me? I wonder if Young Master Zhou is interested in placing a bet with me.”

“A bet? Interesting. Go ahead, what’s the wager?” Zhou Chao, although easygoing, wasn’t the type to let people take advantage of him repeatedly.

Moreover, with his skills as a car racing prodigy, he was at the pinnacle of the racing world.

Whether it was professional athletes or champions, they were all the same in his eyes, especially Liu Xu, who had just stepped into the professional realm.

“Chao’er, don’t rush into this! Don’t fall for his trap! He just wants to grab your attention for the Hennessy Venom GT!” Qin Fen immediately saw through Liu Xu’s intentions. Although he knew that Zhou Chao’s regular driving skills were excellent, Qin Fen didn’t want Zhou Chao to bear the consequences because of him.

“Why are you so worried, Qin Fen? Can’t you see that Young Master Zhou has agreed? Besides, races are all about fairness. If I lose, my Koenigsegg CCXR will belong to Young Master Zhou. What do you say?”

Liu Xu looked at Zhou Chao with sparkling eyes, as if he already considered the Hennessy Venom GT to be his own.

“Chao’er,” Qin Fen wanted to say something more, but Zhou Chao raised his hand to stop him.

“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.” Zhou Chao waved his hand and said confidently.

Seeing Zhou Chao’s self-assured demeanor, Qin Fen realized he had faith in winning the race, but he still had some concerns.

“Are you really sure about this?”

“In a race, who dares to guarantee victory? But beating him will be a piece of cake!” Qin Fen didn’t say anything more after hearing Zhou Chao’s reply.

“Alright, Liu Xu! If I lose, the Hennessy Venom GT will be yours! But…” Zhou Chao agreed readily.

“But what?” Liu Xu looked puzzled.

“But the loser will donate one million to charity in the name of the winner.” Zhou Chao’s words surprised everyone present.

“No problem!” Liu Xu readily agreed. In his opinion, this race was almost a guaranteed win for him. Since Zhou Chao was eager to give away money, why would he refuse?

Seeing this, Qin Fen could only arrange for the track to be cleared for the two of them to race.

“Go for it, Brother Chao!” Qin Lang and his friends came up to cheer for Zhou Chao.

“Don’t worry. Do you think I’d engage in a battle I’m not sure of? Just watch me race with confidence!” With that, Zhou Chao headed towards his Hennessy Venom GT.

“Qin Lang, do you genuinely believe Brother Chao can win? Liu Xu has already reached a professional level, and within our circle, he’s considered one of the best,” Yang Shuo asked, his brow furrowed, appearing less confident, as he turned to Qin Lang beside him.

“Don’t worry! If Brother Chao says he’s confident, you can trust him. Have you ever seen Brother Chao boast about something he couldn’t do?” Qin Lang reassured Yang Shuo before heading over to where Qin Fen was in the spectator area.

About half an hour later, the Hennessy Venom GT and the Koenigsegg CCXR both appeared on the racetrack. The entire racetrack had been cleared.

Now, the showdown between the two supercars had attracted the attention of everyone present. After all, such a spectacle was rare even in the bustling city of Modu. It could be considered the ultimate showdown between supercars.

Moreover, all those present were the second-generation elites of Modu, and they quickly got wind of the wager between the two racers. They couldn’t help but be intrigued by the situation.

“In your opinion, who do you think is superior, Young Master Zhou or Young Master Liu?”

“Most likely Young Master Liu. 1 mean, isn’t it common knowledge in our circle that Young Master Liu has achieved a professional level of racing skills?”

“It seems that Young Master Liu has quite a few world-class limited edition supercars in his garage. I’m so envious!”

“Keep your voices down. This Young Master Zhou is a friend of Young Master Qin. If Young Master Qin hears about this, you guys won’t have it easy!”

The second-generation elites of Modu started discussing, and most of them weren’t optimistic about Zhou Chao. After all, they hadn’t seen his skills yet, while Liu Xu’s racing skills were well-known.

Zhou Chao was unaware of the discussions among the second-generation elites. At this moment, on the racetrack, he felt a surge of determination.

Both of them glanced at each other, and at that moment, a smile appeared on Liu Xu’s face as if he had already won the race.

Seeing Liu Xu’s smile, Zhou Chao’s lips curved into a meaningful smile as well.

Upon witnessing Zhou Chao’s smile, a slight unease crept into Liu Xu’s heart. He quickly dismissed these thoughts and regained his confident smile. It was clear that he had full confidence in his own abilities.

As the countdown began, both of them focused entirely on the race. Roaring sounds echoed from their supercars, igniting the excitement of the spectators. “Ding!”

As the countdown reached zero, both cars simultaneously shot forward like arrows released from a bowstring.

In an instant, these two world-class supercars unleashed their speed to the maximum. In the straight-line acceleration, they were neck and neck, with Zhou Chao’s car appearing slightly faster, although not significantly.

The roaring of the supercars ignited the blood of the spectators, and some even turned a bit red in their faces, feeling the adrenaline rush.

In no time, the two rivals approached the initial bend following the straight path. While they had been evenly matched in the straight-line sprint, it was in this curve that their true skills would come to the forefront.

At this moment, a triumphant smile appeared on Liu Xu’s face. He had the advantage, being on the inside lane during the upcoming curve. Combined with his skills, he believed he could pull ahead of Zhou Chao.

Liu Xu had planned to make his move and overtake in the curve, but what unfolded next left him completely astounded. Typically, in curves, speed significantly decreases compared to straightaways.

However, as Liu Xu eased off the throttle, Zhou Chao’s car displayed no indications of slowing down. Suddenly, Zhou Chao surged ahead.

Despite the initial shock, Liu Xu quickly regained his composure. He knew that attempting such high-speed maneuvering in a curve was a recipe for disaster. According to his knowledge, very few in the world could handle this kind of speed in a curve, and he was certain that Zhou Chao wasn’t among them.

“Bro, take a look, it’s happening again!” Qin Lang exclaimed, his face filled with astonishment as he watched the Hennessy Venom GT preparing to take on the curve.

The other second-generation elites who were observing the race also couldn’t contain their amazement.

“Unbelievable! Is he out of his mind?”

“Is he crazy? He’s not even slowing down! Going through the curve like this could send him flying off the track!”

“This is absolutely insane!!!”

Qin Fen, witnessing this, couldn’t help but smile. His fellow spectators, including Qin Lang, also understood that this race had already been decided.

Soon, the onlookers were once again in awe.

“Unbelievable! This is amazing!”

“This is too cool! How is he doing this?” The group of spectators was in awe, with each person’s eyes wide open as if they were afraid of missing a single second of this incredible spectacle.

Just moments ago, they had witnessed something they could previously only dream of seeing in movies: the Hennessy Venom GT navigating the curve at such breakneck speeds without flipping over, moving as gracefully as flowing water to conquer the first turn!
