Staring at Mason’s car ahead of her, Janet curled the corners of her lips slightly into a roguish smirk before flooring the accelerator.
“Gosh, Night Shadow just accelerated her car too!”
“Night Shadow’s car is whizzing past at 995 km per hour right now, which is double the speed she was driving during the previous race. Is this the fastest she can manage?”
Staring straight ahead, Mason followed suit by stepping on the accelerator to the maximum, and the car’s dashboard showed his speed to be 998 km per hour.
“Goodness! Dark Shadow also went all out, bringing the speed of his car to 998 km per hour. If he can maintain this speed throughout the whole race, he will undoubtedly become the winner of the race.”
Night Shadow fans were instantly irked as soon as the commentator said that and started shouting at the top of their lungs in hoarse voices, “My dream girl, you can do it! You have to overtake Dark Shadow!”
“My dream girl, you can’t lose! Come on!”
Janet narrowed her eyes at Mason’s back in his car and raised her brows, marvelling at the extraordinary speed of his car. The maximum speed Mason’s car could go was 998 km per hour whereas hers was only 995 km per hour. If they maintained the same speed for the rest of the race, she would surely end up losing.
In order to overtake Mason, she needed to execute an extremely dangerous maneuver known as the ‘Floating Drift’. However, the maneuver was extremely dangerous and a slight mistake would cause her car to overturn. She risked injuring herself and disfiguring her face or in the worst case scenario, her whole car would blow up and she would end up dead. However, she had to risk it.
Holding the steering wheel in a tight grip, she first relaxed her feet on the accelerator slightly before pulling hard at the handbrake abruptly, sending her whole car flying in the air in an instant. Everyone present was awestruck.
At that moment, a trace of concern flickered in Mason’s eyes and for some reason, he suddenly felt a throb in his heart. It was a bizarre sensation, one that he had never experienced before and he reckoned it must have come unconsciously.
Even The Beasts’ arms, which were flinging wildly in the air, froze for a few seconds. Lee too couldn’t help but feel nervous for her and wondered why she was suddenly so desperate to win the race. He knew how challenging that maneuver was and Janet was the only one in the world who was capable of pulling it off.
The commentator gasped in awe, his eyes glued to Night Shadow’s car that was speeding along the race track. He was so staggered that he couldn’t even speak properly. “C-Could that be the legendary maneuver, ‘Floating Drift’?”
As soon as he said that, all the spectators rose to their feet and cheered. “Oh my goodness! Isn’t ‘Floating Drift’ Night Shadow’s unique invention?”
Some of Night Shadow’s die-hard fans knew that ‘Floating Drift’ was her original idea as well as her trump card. When she first showed it to the world, all the racers tried to copy her move but to no one’s surprise, none of them succeeded in pulling off the very demanding maneuver.
The spectators held their breaths, watching the scene in utter disbelief and fervently hoping that their idol’s car would land safely because all of them would be devastated if she ended up dead. Some of them even covered their eyes with their hands to avoid watching it.
As soon as Janet’s car launched into the air, her hands started moving frantically to turn the steering wheel, making sure the car was going in the right direction. At the same time, she floored the accelerator…
Venom landed safely back on the track with a heavy thump after producing a beautiful ‘Floating Drift’!
It was only then did Lee and the rest let out a sigh of relief. They made up their minds to never allow their boss to participate in races anymore because it was way too dangerous.
The moment the car landed, Janet immediately felt a surge of relief. As she had been too nervous just now, her forehead was covered with a sheen of sweat and some of her hair was stuck to it. Beads of sweat trickled down her icy yet beautiful face and disappeared under her helmet.
At once, the crowd erupted in thunderous cheer for her.
“Goodness gracious, Night Shadow is so cool!”
“Dark Shadow was very fast too. Did they reach the finishing line almost at the same time?”
“No way. I can’t believe the difference between them is actually so small!”
The referee blinked his eyes, trying to see who made it to the finishing line first. Did Dark Shadow and Night Shadow reach the finishing line at the same time?
