However, news quickly spread that Alice was the one driving, with Eric just as the passenger.

Everyone instantly understood.

“Mr. Eric’s just being sentimental. He wants to feel that rush one more time.

“Anyone who’s ever raced knows–you never forget that kind of thrill.”

When Alice placed her bet, the people around her looked at her with strange expressions.

If she had bet on Eric finishing last, maybe she’d have a shot at winning.

But betting on first place?

Had this woman lost her mind?

But Alice didn’t give them a chance to investigate her identity–she turned and walked away immediately.

It was just a minor incident no one would remember.

Soon, the crowd’s attention shifted.

“Look, that’s John!” Alice followed their gaze.

John wore a white casual tracksuit. His skin was pale, and he wore black sunglasses.

A black stud glinted in one ear. Hands in his pockets, he exuded a quiet swagger.

As soon as he appeared, the girls in the crowd screamed non–stop.

John, young and carefree, happily took selfies with fans.

Suddenly, a group of bodyguards in black suits rushed over, parting the crowd.

“What are you doing? Are you blind?”

“Keep it down. That could be Douglas.”

“Douglas? The guy who races like he’s got a death wish?”

“That’s him. In one of his overcae mces he flinned three care and killed to people.

don’t belong on the track.”

“How terrifying. Why did they invite a killer to race?”

“No choice. The competition doesn’t ban him. He signed up like everyone else.”

Alice had spent the past two years training in seclusion in the mountains.

She hadn’t kept up with the international racing scene, so she’d never heard of this Douglas

guy.

In the crowd, someone suddenly asked, “If Douglas went up against Quantum, who do you think would win?”

“I’d still bet on Quantum. He’s a veteran.”

“Don’t forget, Douglas is ruthless. Blood is spilled every time he races. Scott and John might be in serious trouble tonight.”

Meanwhile, in the Spencers‘ team lounge.

Because of Scott’s reputation, the Spencers were treated well in the racing world.

They even had their own viewing platform.

When Douglas appeared, all the Spencers members huddled together to talk.

“Scott, you need to avoid that guy,” said Gary, his voice tense.

Linda offered, “What if we send a few racers to chase Douglas and buy Scott some time?”

It sounded good in theory, but everyone knew about Douglas’s brutality.

Back in overseas, people had tried to block him using the same tactics.

The result? Douglas flipped two cars, bulldozed his way through, and won the race–earning instant infamy.

Sending racer to slow Douglas down? Linda might as well have been signing their death certificates.

After all, the race would take place on Azure Peak–famous for its dangerous switchbacks and endless curves.

One wrong turn here meant instant death.

Although Scott had seen many crashes in his time, for some reason, hearing Alice talk about it made him feel uneasy.

Linda noticed her brothers‘ silence and realized she’d gone too far. Embarrassed, she mumbled, “I’m just worried about Scott.”

Scott sighed softly. “That doesn’t mean we should put other lives at risk.”

Linda nodded, but secretly clenched her fists.

Inside the Silverfox Phantom.

Eric slowly buckled his seatbelt and looked at Alice beside him.

“How confident are you?”

Alice gazed at the winding track ahead, like a ribbon shaped around the mountain. A faint smile curved her lips.

“What about you?”

Eric leaned back in his seat. “I’m not the one driving.”

“But you’re the one who’ll take home the prize.”

Alice rolled down the window and looked at the darkening sky.
