Chapter: 345
Owning this race car wasn't a small feat. A fully decked-out version might cost a fortune, as much as 20 million dollars.
“Just played the stock market right." Alice returned with two outfits in her hands. "Get changed. We're heading out."
Alice made dabbling in the stock market sound like a walk in the park.
“By the way, I've got my eye on some stocks. Think you could help me invest?" Norah asked.
"Sure. Just let me know how much you're thinking. You know, I'm always there for you." Alice's laughter filled the room, a stark contrast to the distant, icy figure she was once known to be. In her place stood a woman full of life.
Dressed in their new gear, Alice and Norah set off for the Lochdeer racing circuit.
The majority of the race drivers and spectators had gathered around the grandstands at the Silverstone Circuit.
When Norah and Alice arrived, the grandstands were filled to capacity.
The fact that it was two in the morning was not enough to deter the spectators from coming to watch the race Excitement and pride radiated from the race drivers as they prepared to race at the Silverstone Circuit. Meanwhile, spectators eagerly chattered inside their designated area, debating which race driver would come out on top in this thrilling competition.
"I have a feeling it's going to be Chasen in the first place. He's been dominating the Silverstone Circuit for the past two years, and no matter what race it is, he always delivers an impeccable performance!" one spectator remarked.
“I think Humphrey is pretty good. I've saved a lot of videos of him and Chasen battling it out on the race track!" another spectator replied with a wide grin.
"They are like a team, always appearing together. Look, here comes Chasen!"
The waiting audience cheered loudly as soon as Chasen and Humphrey appeared.
With a bright smile, Alice cheerfully caught Norah up on the racing scene. "It's been a while since you've been to Otland. The top three at the Silverstone Circuit are basically fixed. Chasen Patterson is always in the first place. The second and third places are always occupied by Humphrey Brewer and Lucia Nguyen. Lucia is the most talented female racer at Lochdeer!"
Alice lifted her hand, gesturing toward the sleek crimson sports car that had just arrived at the circuit. The driver was a striking blonde man, with a brown-haired man in the passenger seat next to him. “Wow, Chasen actually came with Humphrey. Are they really close in private?"
Norah raised an eyebrow and said, "They are rivals on the track, but they can be friends off the track."
Alice shook her head. "You haven't seen how they compete on the racetrack yet. You'll see it later. Back then when you were dominating the Silverstone Circuit, none of them had any reputation.
It was only after you left that those newcomers had a chance to shine. I'm sure they can't compare to you."
"Whether they're good or not will be determined on the racetrack."
Norah's heart was pounding with excitement. The last time she raced was against Nocturne at the Krusa Mountain Racing. Just thinking of it pumped a shot of adrenaline through her veins.
"This is my newly upgraded racing car. You don't have to worry about any performance issues. It's perfect." Alice gave Norah a friendly pat on the shoulder. “I'm going to place a bet on you with 100 chips to celebrate your return as Selene! It's really exciting!"
Alice left happily. Her joy was evident even from her back.
The crimson sports car swiftly swept into the enclosure and disappeared into the distance.
The race at the Silverstone Circuit was an official race and Norah saw on one of the boards that the host of this race was the Campbell family. The Campbell family was a hereditary aristocracy in Otland who made their fortune from tourism, real estate, mineral resources and so on. They were indeed loaded.
