Chapter 184
Jake was anxious that he stomped his feet as he argued, "This competition only happens once every three years! I'm sure this will be very exciting.Imagine how bored and out of place I'll feel if I go there alone! Just, please, go with me!"
Olivia smiled as she exposed him, "Then why do I remember that you privately called a lot of your classmates to go there with you?"
Jake's face fell when he heard this.
"How did you know?!"
Jake got so excited when he heard about the upcoming event and he ended up inviting a few of his classmates.
However, he never expected that Olivia would find out.
"Then explain to me, why do you insist on me going?"
"Because ..."
Jake hesitated for a moment before he told her the truth, "Because I want to participate in the competition and I want you there for moral support.That way, I will be more confident'’
"You want to participate?"
Olivia was surprised.
Race car drivers were always exposed to a certain degree of risk, more so in underground competitions like this.
If he played well, then he can be considered a professional race car driver.
However, a single mistake, no matter how little it would be, could cost him his life.
Olivia knew that Jake had always liked challenges and adventures, but she never expected that he would be this bold.
When Jake saw Olivia staring intently at him, he felt a little embarrassed.
He was about to tell her that she didn't need to go if she's unwilling.
After all, he didn't want to make things too difficult for her.
However, Olivia decided to agree to his request and told him, "I'll accompany you."
She didn't want to discourage Jake in his newfound interest.
She also thought that if he ever ended up injured, she'd be there to save him.
When Jake saw Olivia nod her head, he got so happy that he almost resembled a dog that was wagging its tail.
"Great! Let's go."
After she returned the book, Olivia and Jake left the library together.
However, they were not aware that Leandro was standing at a nearby bookshelf.
He was currently holding a book that he was about to borrow when he heard their conversation.
The conversation Olivia had with Jake echoed in his mind.
He could vaguely remember how bad Olivia and Jake's relationship was which had even led to a few small fights.
However, their relationship had turned completely amicable and it even appeared as if Olivia was the boss and Jake was her younger brother.
The camaraderie between them had even made other people a little jealous.
Leonard lost interest with the book in his hand and stuffed it back into the shelf.
He unconsciously left the school and headed towards the place where the race would take place.
It was eight o'clock in the evening and the crowd was lively.
The arena was bustling with noise as hordes of car race enthusiasts came to watch.
It was in the suburbs but the crowd kept surging.
There are more than a dozen drones, which took real-time videos of the event.
They were connected to Large HD screens to allow spectators to keep up with their favorite race car driver.
The entire track was also meticulously planned ahead of the event.
From the starting point, the participants will circle up the mountain.
When they reached the top, they'll need to head back down till they arrived at the finish line.
Whoever reached the finish line first would be the winner.
It sounded so simple, but experts and enthusiasts alike knew that there were many risks involved.
Ashley had never been to such an event before.
She felt that it was too dangerous.
She was following behind Olivia when she worriedly said, "Olivia, is Jake really going to participate in the competition? Although he gets on my nerves sometimes, he is very loyal and he is one of us now.What if something happens..."
Before she could finish, Jake, who was dressed in his racing uniform, jumped up and said, "Can't you just wish m luck? Is it so hard for you to expect me to win?"
"As if! Do you really think you're a professional?!"
"Then I must prove myself today! You cannot underestimate my driving skills!"
The two were at it again.
Olivia was already used to their childish arguments.
She raised her head and stared at the clock on the display screen.
There were only 20 minutes left before the competition starts.
In order to make sure that Jake will be able to leave the competition with his life, Olivia handed him a small paper bag and said, "If you are unfortunate enough to get injured, eat this"
"What is it?"
Jake opened the bag and found a chocolate bean inside.
When he saw what it was, he immediately became happy.
"Is this for my dinner?"
"Alright! With the chocolate prepared by the boss, I'm even more confident!"
If the pill could only speak, it would definitely jump up and curse him, "You ignorant human! If only you know how miraculous I am!" Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
It was clearly the Life-saving Immortal Pill!
