He would try his best to do anything as long as it was something she fancied. Even though there was danger looming ahead of him, he was willing to risk it for her sake. The cameras at the tracks were all pointing at the car which materialized out of nowhere. The moment the commentator and the referees saw the man inside, they were blown away immediately.
What the heck was going on? Wasn’t that man the legendary racer, Dark Shadow? Why did he want to be a part of the race all of a sudden? Didn’t he turn them down when they first contacted him for the race?
When the spectators recognized the tall and handsome man, they started whispering about him excitedly, “That man looks very familiar.”
“Isn’t he Dark Shadow who defeated Hedd Cardiff last time?”
“What? Did you just say he is the legendary racer, Dark Shadow? I can’t believe he’s actually here.”
“Are you serious? Is he really Dark Shadow?”
“Can the cameraman give us more shots of him? I want to take a closer look at him!”
Even the cameraman was mesmerized by Mason’s good-looking face and quickly aimed his camera at him.
“He’s so dashing!”
“He’s definitely a feast for my eyes!”
“Damn, I just realize Dark Shadow is actually such a good-looking guy!”
Mason was unperturbed by the cheers from the spectators. Staring at the driver in front whose height only reached his shoulder, he asked her with an impassive expression, “Are you the legendary Night Shadow?”
Other than himself and Night Shadow, no other racer in the world was capable of achieving a speed faster than 900km per hour! He didn’t sound like he knew the true identity of Night Shadow at all judging from the note of curiosity and doubt in his voice.
Janet let out a sigh of relief, thinking Mason had yet to uncover her identity for the time being. She chuckled, having no choice but to confirm that she was Night Shadow because there was no other way that could explain the extraordinary speed of her car. However, she could still keep everyone in the dark of the fact that she was Janet Jackson. She adjusted the way she spoke to produce a steady but raspy voice as she muttered, “Yes, I am!”
As soon as she said that, everyone, including the spectators, the commentator as well as the referees, was flabbergasted. The spectators went into an uproar at once. “That girl is Night Shadow!”
“Gosh, how can it be?”
“Dark Shadow and Night Shadow at the same place in one day!”
“The girl who was looked down upon by Hedd Cardiff, Connor Jenkinson and Benjamin Campbell is Night Shadow?”
“What an embarrassment Hedd Cardiff is! Not only was he slower in the race than Night Shadow, he even tried to sabotage her with his dirty tricks! But in the end, Night Shadow still finished the race as the winner!”
Meanwhile, Hedd was staring at the young girl whom he had humiliated, his eyes laden with excitement and embarrassment at the same time. He was deeply sorry to have offended Night Shadow, who was his idol in car racing.
“Also, it was so embarrassing of Benjamin to make so many degrading remarks about Night Shadow. It serves him right that his car crashed!”
Guilt was written all over Benjamin’s face when he thought of how he had offended Night Shadow twice by speaking rudely to her.
“Connor Jenkinson is no better than them either!”
Meanwhile, the commentator and the judges were so revved up that their eyes were teary, not believing that they were lucky enough to witness two legendary race car drivers appearing together. On top of that, the pair of them looked great standing together!
On the stage, the commentator tried his best to convince the two of them to have a race with each other. Picking up the microphone, he said excitedly, “Night Shadow and Dark Shadow, will the two of you have a race with each other for the sake of the spectators present today? We’re really looking forward to it!”
“Yes! I’m your long-time fan, Dark Shadow! Please have a race with Night Shadow!”
“I’m sure the race between the two of you will be fantastic!”
“The race will surely go down in the history books!”
With a poker-faced expression, Mason stared at the racer standing in front of him and agreed in a nonchalant tone, “That’s exactly what I’ve been thinking!” He was really keen to show Janet the moment he won the race and the trophy for her sake.
As for Janet, she gazed at the tall and handsome man and nodded calmly in agreement. “Sure!”
As soon as she said that, the entire race track plunged into a state of utter silence.
