Sean could tell that Arabella was no ordinary girl. Belied her youthful appearance was nerves of steel.

As they approached the next hairpin turn, Arabella intended to hug the curve with the tightest arc possible, but Sean had other

plans. He widened his trajectory, aiming to overtake her on the outside.

Arabella saw him coming and, once again blocked him. Even as Sean's car nearly scraped the guardrail, she didn't flinch, but drew

a beautiful arc so close to the barrier that the crowd held its breath.

To ride that close to the guardrail was flirting with disaster. A miscalculation could send her crashing through and tumbling down

the slope.

But the pair's driving skills were as breathtaking as they were precise. The audience was on the edge of their seats, erupting into

cheers as the cars left the bend safely and continued down the track.

This was racing at its finest. Pure skill on display.

Sspectators had seen their fair share of street races, but nothing had cclose to the spectacle they were witnessing

tonight.

Arabella managed to keep her lead.

But Sean was hot on her tail, forcing Arabella to tap her brakes ever so slightly.

She wasn't intended to slow down but to flash her brake lights. Sean would see the lights and instinctively hit his brakes to avoid a

collision.

Arabella stepped her foot on the brake for less than a second, and repeated it a few times.

She knew she was gaining precious seconds over Sean with each tap of the brakes.

Sean was relentless in pursuit.

Just then, Arabella suddenly moved aside, and in the next instant, Sean spotted a rock in his path.

At such high speeds, maneuvering was out of the question. He braced as the car rumbled over the rock and slowed down. The low

clearance of his sports car caused the rock to scrape the undercarriage, but Sean only eased off the speed briefly before he

accelerated again.

"If that girl had any malice, she could've guided Sean's tires right over that rock; in such case his car could have flipped, and it

could've been fatal."

"But she blocked his view, steering him towards safety. A rock scraping the bottom won't flip a car, but if it scraped the tires, it

would certainly take a hit."

"She intended to make him slow down, but not to take his life. There's skindness in her."

"In comparison, that Harlan's race tactics were just unsportsmanlike."

"Totally."

"I'm starting to warm up to Light Fleet."

too."

The finish line was drawing near.

Arabella floored it, now with a decent lead over Sean. She knew that even if he pushed his car to the limit, he wouldn't be able to

pass her in under ten seconds.

Once her tires crossed the finish line, and the giant screen lit up with virtual confetti, the stands erupted in cheers.

Arabella had won!

She had actually beaten Sean, the Drift Kings' lead driver, and clinched first place!!

"Ah! Bella won!! She actually defeated Sean!!"

"We Light Fleet has won two races in a row?!"

"This is amazing!! Kowloon Bay is ours!!"

The Light Fleet crew hugged each other, being elated beyond words.

The Drift Kings, on the other hand, was staring in shock and disbelief at the giant screen. Sean's car had just crossed the finish line

and cto a halt.

Perhaps due to the shock of being overtaken for the first tin his life, Sean just sat there at the finish line, lost in his thought.

Sean lost??

The Sean who had won countless international awards was bested by an unknown girl.

How could this be?!

Was there a mistake??

At that moment, Arabella called Candice, letting her know she'd be taking a different route hand leaving the rest to the Light

Fleet team to handle.
