Chapter: 1530

Eight sports cars lined up diagonally on the grid. Norah was behind the wheel of a dark blue McLaren, the same car Alice had let her drive a year ago when she visited Hander Land.

The other racers, spotting the familiar car, started guessing who was behind the wheel.

Chasen narrowed his eyes as he examined the McLaren. Over the years, he had spotted different McLarens at various races, but the sight of this deep blue one took him back to the race where he first saw his idol, Selene. It had been a long time since he last saw her.

He wondered where his idol might be. He had competed in numerous races across Hander Land but hadn't crossed paths with her again.

The other racers felt similarly, each of them yearning for another chance to race against Selene. In the past year, they had all honed their skills considerably.

The race's popularity had surged, drawing large crowds of spectators, each racer cheered on by their own group of fans.

Norah gripped the steering wheel tightly. Inside the race car, her world narrowed to a single focus: victory.

As the referee's whistle blew, the race cars shot forward.

The deep blue car surged ahead, securing an early lead. The three racers trailing close behind sensed an unusual challenge.

Chasen, often a champion at the Silverstone Circuit, and his fellow racers were accustomed to the competition, yet it had been ages since they saw a car lead from the start like this.

Both Chasen and Humphrey were determined competitors. What seemed like a typical race was proving to be a battle against a formidable rival.

The deep blue car, along with the dark red and black cars, sped down the track, drawing loud cheers from the crowd.

For Norah, the crowd's cheers were unnecessary; Alice's presence and support were all she needed.

With Alice's enthusiastic support, Norah clinched the race effortlessly. Her skills were undiminished by any hiatus. Once behind the wheel, she felt liberated and drove with fluid precision.

Alice roared with laughter, "Hahaha, those trailing behind must be steaming after losing to a nobody."

At the finish line, Chasen and Humphrey exited their cars and approached the mysterious deep blue car, curious about this new racer.

Alice teased, “Looks like your fans want to chat. Going to stick around?"

Norah responded, "Forget it. I'd much rather go shopping with you."

She fired up the engine and eased the car into motion. Nearing the racers, she rolled down her window and flashed a dazzling smile.

“You've got to push harder than that."

With those words, she accelerated her car swiftly, leaving them in stunned silence.

"Wait, was that Selene just now?"

"It Looked like Selene to me!"

"Are you guys serious? If you couldn't recognize Selene right away, how do you even dare call yourselves her fans?" Lucia approached and playfully smacked each of them on the back. “What are you waiting for? Chase her down and get her contact!"
