After everyone was ready, the referee signaled to the two participants and said, "Three, two, one, go!"At the signal from the leader, both individuals simultaneously twisted the throttle.With a roar, Tyger's motorcycle shot out like an arrow released from a bow.Frederick's electric scooter was much slower in comparison, mainly because it lacked power. With two people sitting on it, the scooter wobbled quite a bit when starting.Seeing the two just starting off but already with such a big difference, Jeann anxiously stamped her feet and exclaimed, "Oh my God, can Frederick win?"Jordan, with a gloating expression, said, "Tyger's BMW motorcycle can hit 120 miles per hour with just a twist of the throttle."Frederick's old electric scooter can only go up to 60 miles per hour, which is half as fast as Tyger. How could he possibly beat Tyger!"Jean didn't know much about motorcycles, but she knew that Jordan was very knowledgeable about them. She realized that what he said must be
"Huh?" Tyger glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that Frederick was actually close to him. Then, he looked at his speedometer, it was already at 80 miles per hour. How could this be possible?!How could the electric scooter possibly reach 80 miles per hour?Frederick was really talented. He just randomly connected some wires, and the electric scooter could now go up to 80 miles per hour already!The people watching the live stream via drone from the foot of the mountain also noticed something unusual."How is this electric scooter so fast?""This doesn't make sense."Seeing this scene, Jean clapped her hands in delight. Could it be that Frederick was about to turn things around?Jordan, with a tone full of disdain, said, "Hey, why are you all making such a fuss? Can't you tell it's now only going about 80 miles per hour? Tyger's motorcycle goes up to 120 miles per hour without any effort."Everyone calmed down after hearing Jordan's words. Indeed, it might be quite unusual f
But for Frederick, who didn't even have a motorcycle, it must be his first time taking this turn. It was like he was going in completely blind, akin to a blind person competing against someone who could see.Besides, how could an electric scooter possibly handle off-road motorbike maneuvers like cornering and drifting?Sure enough, just a few seconds after Tyger slowed down, a curve appeared ahead.Since he was familiar with the road conditions, Tyger expertly leaned into the turn. Just before reaching the curve, he quickly made the maneuver and easily navigated through it.The audience watching the live stream burst into cheers, especially Jordan, who had only seen Tyger race once before and was now exclaiming in amazement."Oh my gosh, that's so cool!"Tyger had just a few centimeters between himself and the mountainside at the inside of the curve. It is absolutely perfect timing at the turn."Leaning into the turn meant tilting the entire vehicle toward the inside of the curv
The so-called "Triple Death Bend" referred to three consecutive curves. Many underground racers had flown off the road at this spot, which was how it got its name.The challenge of the Triple Death Bend was that the three consecutive deadly turns were almost connected with virtually no straight distance.Moreover, the three curves turned left, right, and then left again, requiring the rider to quickly shift the direction of their lean.For an experienced rider like Bryan, who had raced these bends thousands of times, it wasn't much of an issue. But for Frederick, a beginner who had never raced here before, the danger was immense, especially at such high speeds. Sure enough, Bryan soon reached the infamous Triple Death Bend. Even though he had raced here thousands of times, he didn't take it lightly. After all, even the slightest mistake could lead to a fatal crash.At this moment, Bryan leaned forward onto the motorcycle, and the female delinquent behind him coordinated with his
Sure enough, Bryan overtook Frederick once again and his electric bike had no safety restrictions.Now, going downhill, the speed increased once more, surpassing the 100-mile mark and pushing toward 120.Frederick glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that Bryan wanted to keep accelerating. With the wind rushing past, the female delinquent at the back was so frightened that she nearly wet herself.Normally, she would ride down this slope at only 60 or 70 miles per hour, but the current speed was something she had never experienced before. She closed her eyes and pleaded. "Bryan, let's slow down."Bryan completely ignored the female delinquent, but she was so terrified that she clung tightly to him and whispered in his ear."It looks like we are approaching the big L-shaped turn. If we don't slow down, it could be dangerous."Upon hearing about the L-shaped turn, Bryan who was initially exhilirated, gradually eased off the accelerator and then gently applied the brakes.Bryan'
Jean anxiously opened her eyes and, as she feared, she saw on the screen that the electric scooter that Frederick and Fiona were sitting on was just a short distance away from the railings at the L- L-shaped turn.Unless a miracle happened, they were definitely going to crash!Unexpectedly, a miracle occurred the next moment. Frederick used his previous method and relied on his immense strength, and once again exerted force using his lower body to swing the rear of the bike away. With a perfect drift, Frederick managed to navigate the dangerous L-shaped turn at such high speed. The thugs were left dumbfounded, wondering if he was even human.Jean jumped up excitedly and exclaimed, "Haha, now can't Frederick win against you all?"At this moment, the thugs were jolted awake by Jean's voice. She was right, with things going this way, Frederick was bound to win.Frederick's electric bike was returning to the starting point, completing the first lap of the race.All the thugs simu
The distance between the two was still too great! At this rate, they were about to lose. Frederick leaned over and whispered in Fiona's ear, "Are you afraid of heights?"Fiona was momentarily stunned by the question but instinctively replied, "I'm not. Why?"Hearing her response, Frederick nodded in relief and said, "Good, now hold on tight."Once again, he accelerated toward the L-shaped turn. As Frederick approached the L-shaped turn, Bryan was nearly finishing the race course. This time, when Frederick reached the guardrail, he didn't choose to drift but instead flew straight over it. The crowd was stunned to see the electric bike soaring through the air, it was known that performing such a stunt typically required a ramp for a proper boost. But Frederick sped through the guardrail without using any ramps, how could he possibly leap over such a high barrier? Frederick relied entirely on his own strength and just before crashing into the guardrail, he planted his feet fi
Jean, who had barely celebrated the hard-earned victory, was furious when she heard Bryan's accusation. She stepped forward and confronted him."Hey, tell me how exactly Frederick cheated?"Bryan angrily responded to Jean, "We agreed to finish the entire course, but he flew over. Isn't that cheating?!"Having participated in underground races for years, Bryan had never encountered someone actually flying over the track. Jean smirked and retorted, "Haha, your gang tried to block Frederick, and that wasn't cheating? But him flying over count as cheating?"You're Bryan, right? You talk about low-altitude flying, so why don't you give it a try yourself?"If you don't have the skills, don't complain after losing. What happened to being the leader of a biker gang?""Earlier, you said that there were no rules. Either one of you just had to be the first to finish two laps and return. It never said flying wasn't allowed."Upon hearing Jean's words, Bryan felt his face flush red with em
Mary's case was the most severe, while Ivan's symptoms were the mildest, and Frederick could roughly deduce the sequence of transmissions among them. It was clear that Mary infected Nigel, who then passed it to Kimberly, then finally passed it to Ivan. Frederick also saw that Ivan was actually a decent person who unfortunately ended up being betrayed and infected. However, Nigel was primarily worried that Ivan might start trusting Frederick, as he wanted Ivan to believe in his capabilities to carry out his plan.Originally, he intended for Mary to insult Frederick for being poor and unskilled, but she ended up attacking him for having an unpleasant odor, which backfired when Frederick exposed her for contracting syphilis. Now, Nigel had no choice but to take matters into his own hands, he then said to Frederick, "Hehe, Frederick. We all know Ivy is a director, what exactly do you do to be worthy of her?"Nigel assumed that Frederick was just a low-level salesperson, something
Hearing Frederick's words, Kimberly jumped with joy and stopped crying. While wiping her tears, she pointed at Mary, laughing and said, "You're covered in syphilis, yet you're making fun of me.""Slut, I wonder how many people you've slept with!" After being pointed and insulted, Mary was furious and she was ready to fight Kimberly. "You bitch! I am going to teach you a lesson!" At this moment, Nigel felt terrible. If Mary was diseased, he'd be the first victim. He grabbed Mary and shouted, "Bitch, let me teach you a lesson first. Now I know why you always wanted the lights off! I thought you were shy, but you just didn't want me to find out."In a fit of anger, Nigel slapped Mary hard across the face. Just as Mary was about to explain, she was interrupted by another slap. Holding her face, she yelled angrily, "Nigel, how dare you hit me?! Do you want me to expose all your little schemes and tricks?"Nigel froze in horror; if Mary exposed him, it would have been disastrous.
Kimberly heard her laughter, and body odor had always been a sensitive issue for her; a wound she'd tried to cover up over the years. For Frederick to bring it up in front of everyone felt like rubbing salt into an open wound. Yet what hurt even more was Mary's laughter; as a fellow woman, it felt like salt to the wound, then roasting it. Kimberly was furious, pointed at Mary and said, "What are you laughing at? Do you want me to come over there and shut you up?"Mary felt wronged, she had only let out a reflexive laugh, but now Kimberly's anger was directed at her. "Did I laugh at you? What proof do you have that I laughed at you?""You're the one with body odor, yet you're taking it out on others. You're such an unreasonable woman!"Kimberly grew even angrier after hearing Mary's retort. "You're the one with body odor, your whole family has it!" "Look at what you're wearing, it's like you just threw on two pillowcases. You're a shameless woman, just trying to show off t
When everyone heard Ivy's words, they laughed even more. Her words effectively confirmed that Frederick did indeed have an unpleasant odor. It wasn't entirely her fault as Kimberly's words had been a bit of a trap. "Haha, if you smell, just take a shower and don't embarrass yourself here.""With all that cheap stuff on, no wonder he has a smell."Hearing this, Frederick simply gave a slight smile and then asked Mary and Kimberly, "Are two really that fragrant?"Mary and Kimberly lifted their heads proudly after hearing Frederick's words. "Why don't you ask everyone here, ask them if we smell good or not?""Exactly, go ahead and ask."Both of them considered themselves beautiful, and of course, they would smell pleasant. The men around them quickly chimed in, especially those eager to admire Mary, who was dressed in a way that gave them a bit of eye candy. "Of course, they smell good. How could these two beautiful ladies not smell good?""Hehe, Frederick with his cheap, th
In a hidden corner, Nigel said to Mary, "Damn it, that bumpkin Frederick keeps stealing my spotlight. I am worried that our plan won't go well later.""You should help me humiliate him properly, and Ivan's girlfriend will back you up."Mary pursed her lips and said to Nigel, "Every time something comes up, you just ask me to handle it. My bag hasn't been bought yet, and you've lost 300 thousand dollars"Although Nigel was annoyed by Mary hitting a sore spot, he kept his tone calm and replied, "Help me humiliate Frederick and talk him down in front of Ivan. After that, leave the rest to me. Once it's done, I'll get you more than one bag, I could get you ten bags and it wouldn't be a problem. I don't care about that small amount of money. You saw that Porsche just now, right? I wouldn't mind burning it if I had to." Hearing this, Mary was delighted and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you, babe." She hadn't realized that Nigel was so wealthy and even had a Porsche. Up until th
Knowing Martin as someone who knew a lot about wood, everyone immediately looked as though they were ready for a good show. They were convinced that the Saint George statue couldn’t possibly be made of anything valuable.Martin let out a strange exclamation. "What the hell!"Kimberly, thinking that Martin was angry, quickly said, "Mr. Lawson, tell us what’s so disastrous about this wood. Are you saying it’s just a piece of junk?"Contrary to expectations, Martin replied angrily, "I’m saying that whoever preserved this Saint George statue was a jerk. This is genuine sandalwood, and yet it’s completely neglected, covered in dust."Most of the group had no idea what sandalwood was worth, but judging by the name alone, it sounded impressive.Kimberly asked curiously, "Mr. Lawson, are you saying this is really antique wood?"Martin examined the statue carefully, scrutinizing every detail. "Judging by the texture, this carving must have been made at least 150 years ago."Everyone was
"The Saint George statue was indeed a fitting choice for a karaoke." Nigel chuckled, turning to Ivy.“Why didn’t you just go on Amazon and buy a new one for a few dozen bucks? This one is obviously second-hand. Or was it picked up from some junk stall?”Frederick heard Nigel’s mockery and nodded in agreement, a faint smile on his lips. “You’re not wrong. This statue actually was picked up from a street stall.”“At the Treasure Hall in the antique trade market, no less. And yes, it’s an antique.”The truth was, the statue was from the Victorian era. Even the owner of Treasure Hall, Dominic, had recognized its age but dismissed it as worthless, tossing it onto a stall outside.Frederick had picked it up casually, thinking it would come in handy one day, and now it was the perfect gift for Ivan.Hearing this, Nigel burst out laughing, clutching his stomach. “An antique? Treasure Hall? You’re really trying to fool us.”Kimberly chimed in, her tone dripping with sarcasm as she glance
The group’s attention was fully captured by Frederick’s words, their eyes all on him. Nigel, knowing that Kimberly had informed Ivy at the last minute and that she likely didn’t have a gift, sneered at Frederick."Well, if you’ve got a gift, go ahead and show it.""Considering Ivy and Kimberly’s relationship, the gift should be pretty decent, right?"Everyone was now staring at Frederick with anticipation, curious to see what kind of gift he could produce.Ivy, on the other hand, was completely flustered. She hadn’t handed any gift to Frederick, though she understood he was trying to help her out of a tough spot. But wasn’t this making things even more awkward?Nigel continued to press him, "Where’s the gift? Come on, take it out already.""After all this time, you still can’t take it out. Don’t tell me you don’t even have one."Frederick glanced at Nigel with a calm smile. "Oh? Are you planning to bet 300 grand with me again?"Nigel froze. There was no way he had another 300 t
Ivan was deeply moved, feeling as though all the unpleasantness from their school days had been swept away. A sense of childhood nostalgia, unique to old classmates, welled up within him.The crowd continued to shower Nigel with praise, giving him thumbs up one after another."A gift worth 10 grand is no small amount. Nigel is truly generous.""That’s right. These days, even classmates hesitate to prepare gifts, but Nigel has shown such generosity.."Most of the attendees had come because of their connection with Kimberly. Each had prepared gifts with costs ranging from a few hundred dollars. Compared to Nigel’s grandiose gift worth 10 thousand, their contributions paled in comparison.Hearing the compliments, Nigel waved his hand dismissively, feigning modesty. "It’s nothing, really. After all, Ivan and I are good friends from way back."Then, Nigel’s expression shifted slightly as he added, "Speaking of good friends, I’m sure it’s not just me and Ivan here who share a special b
