Chapter 1658


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


    As they approached the next hairpin turn, Arabe intended to hug the curve with the tightest arc


    possible, but Sean had other ns. He widened his trajectory, aiming to overtake her on the outside.


    Arabe saw himing 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 miscalction 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 disy.


    Some spectators had seen their fair share of street races, but nothing hade close to the spectacle


    they were witnessing tonight.


    Arabe managed to keep her lead.


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


    She wasn''t intended to slow down but to sh her brake lights. Sean would see the lights and


    instinctively hit his brakes to avoid a collision.


    Arabe 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, Arabe 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 elerated 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 some kindness in her."


    "Inparison, that Han''s race tactics were just unsportsmanlike."


    "Totally."


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


    "Me too."


    The finish line was drawing near.


    Arabe 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.


    Arabe had won!


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


    "Ah! Be 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 ted 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 came to a halt.

    Perhaps due to the shock of being overtaken for the first time in 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, Arabe called Candice, letting her know she''d be taking a different route home and


    leaving the rest to the Light Fleet team to handle.
