Chapter: 1181

Sean, unfazed, got out of the car.

"I haven't been on the track for a while. Thought I'd get some practice in."

In truth, Sean often raced in Glophia, where his alias, Nocturne, had become the benchmark for many racers.

Susanna didn't call him out. “Alright, I want to ride shotgun."

She had always yearned to experience the thrill of the racetrack, and this was her chance.

Phillip secured a sports car, and Frank, knowing his place, blended into the background.

Whenever Phillip was around Sean, Frank felt irrelevant.

Phillip had recently taken leave to travel with his girlfriend, leaving all work responsibilities to Frank, which wore him out.

Joanna also wanted to drive.

“Don't even think about it. Get in the car, and I'll take you for a spin later," Duncan said, pulling up in a car.

Joanna had to admit, her coach behind the wheel was undeniably attractive.

She had joined Norah in several races and sat in her passenger seat.

The rush of speed was addictive.

Once everything was set, Phillip got both cars onto the track.

The small-scale competition wasn't too formal. The course was 2.8 kilometers long, with the most challenging part being the series of tight turns on flat ground.

Gripping the steering wheel, Sean focused on the track. It was his first time here, but he was confident he could secure first place.

As Susanna fastened her seatbelt, she fiddled with the sports car's controls. "Doesn't feel much different from any other car. I hope it's more thrilling once we start."

She eyed the sports cars lined up and ranked them based on her aesthetic preferences.

"Your car is the best-looking. Duncan's is decent, so second place. The dark purple one is pretty, so third. The white one, fourth. Ugh, that one's just ugly."

Sean followed her gaze to a dark purple sports car, a ghost from his past flashing in his mind.

He pushed the memories aside. The race was the priority now.

The race began. All the sports cars surged forward like arrows loosed from taut bowstrings.

In the driver's seat, Sean floored the gas pedal. When he approached a bend, he jerked the steering wheel, sending the car into a sharp drift.

Susanna, perched on the passenger seat, screamed with exhilaration, “This is so fast and exciting!"
