Chapter 257: Chapter 37 One Compensates Ten
Gu Xiaoxi narrowed her eyes, aware that anyone who could successfully surpass Korte was naturally not an average competitor and certainly not one to be taken lightly.
Her speed was fast, but she maintained a safe distance from the two cars ahead of her.
When Gu Xiaoxi suddenly burst into the top three, all eyes from the audience converged on her.
This was an unexpected dark horse.
For a time, everyone began speculating about the outcome of her race.
Some believed she was a dark horse, destined to win!
Others thought that no matter what, she was just Lu Xi’s apprentice, and even if Lu Xi had been there, winning first place couldn’t be guaranteed, so what made her capable of coming out on top?
Soon, she became the subject of betting.
Su San actually had no confidence, but he couldn’t let others inflate their ambitions and undermine his own prestige.
To support Gu Xiaoxi, he wagered half his wealth as a bet.
He bet on Gu Xiaoxi taking first place.
And the odds were ten to one!
Once this bet was placed, a gambling wave around Gu Xiaoxi immediately swept through the venue.
Almost ninety percent of people supported Korte because they could see he had switched to a backup vehicle.
With full speed and power, he was bound to soar to first place.
Only Su San and fans of Lu Xi placed bets on Gu Xiaoxi, but because the odds were so high, they dared not wager too much Texas currency.
Danny wrote out a check without hesitation, ordering someone to deliver it to Su San, betting on Gu Xiaoxi to win.
Not to make money, but to show her support.
Korte’s fans, seeing the high payout, placed their bets on him, expecting to earn a neat profit!
Clutching his wallet, Su San couldn’t help but mutter to himself, "Xiao Xi, you must win! Otherwise, I’ll have lost half my life’s fortune."
Of course, Gu Xiaoxi was oblivious to all this.
Her only goal was to win the race and avenge Lu Xi; it was something she had to do.
No matter what others thought, there was no possibility of her abandoning the goal she pursued.
At that moment on the race track, the two cars in front of Gu Xiaoxi became aware of her. Moreover, the two drivers were allies!
After exchanging glances, the drivers almost instinctively reached a consensus without any need for verbal communication. Take out Gu Xiaoxi! Eliminate the car behind!
Because the top three spots were sure to be theirs, it didn’t matter who won, they couldn’t let this newcomer dwarf claim victory.
At first, they both took an S-shaped path, blocking Gu Xiaoxi’s way and preventing her from getting ahead.
Gu Xiaoxi was not anxious; she simply followed calmly from behind.
As time went by, Gu Xiaoxi neither moved forward nor back, and her seemingly nonchalant demeanor made the two drivers uneasy.
Soon, the drivers lost patience and exchanged glances again, quickly conversing with hand signals.
Then they prepared to set a trap for Gu Xiaoxi, determined to take her down decisively.
Their plan was to split up, with one car taking the first lane and another the third lane, leaving the second lane open for Gu Xiaoxi.
If she dared to overtake, they would strike from both sides, wrecking her race car.
Although this strategy would also damage their own vehicles, the harm to Gu Xiaoxi’s race car would be much greater. Perhaps, it could even result in personal injury and eliminate her from the race.
At that moment, Gu Xiaoxi noticed the two race cars moving aside on the road, as if they were creating a wide path for her.
Those watching the race were astonished, "My God! Are they being paid off, letting Mr. Xiao X through like that?"
"It looks like Mr. Xiao X is headed straight for first place."
"How can this be? Mr. Xiao X is about to win."
A trap!
Anyone with a bit of sense could see it right away.
Both Su San and Danny were tense, hoping Gu Xiaoxi wouldn’t fall for it. If she did, she would definitely get hurt.
Quan Shaoqing grabbed the table beside him, his gaze dangerously fixed on the screen, his heart as if suppressed by a large pair of hands, breathing caught in his throat.
The next moment, he watched, wide-eyed, as Gu Xiaoxi accelerated her race car, charging forward.
"Dammit! Can’t you see the danger?" Quan Shaoqing erupted, roaring at the screen on his own.
He had become an ardent fan!
Tang Yisheng peeked from the doorway, surprised. It was rare to catch Quan Shaoqing off-guard, and he was tempted to push open the door and look.
What would the superior officer look like as a loyal fan?
Quan Shaoqing was annoyed, almost wishing he could reach through the phone screen, grab that reckless woman, and spank her.
She made him worried to death.
Just as everyone’s emotions were fluctuating and they were at the edge of their seats.
Gu Xiaoxi suddenly slammed on the brakes, and her car slid several meters before coming to a steady stop in the middle of the road.
The two cars in front of her weren’t so lucky. Using inertia in the previous maneuver, stabilizing wasn’t so easy.
They had calculated to sandwich Gu Xiaoxi’s racecar, but unexpectedly, at the last minute, Gu Xiaoxi hit the brakes.
And they were caught off guard, their cars crashing into each other with a "bang".
Luxurious high-end racecars emitted a plume of blue smoke, and the two drivers were shaken badly, feeling as if their bodies didn’t belong to them anymore.
Just then, they saw Gu Xiaoxi step on the gas, her car effortlessly speeding past them before coming to a rest in front of their damaged vehicles.
Gu Xiaoxi looked back, cold light shining from under her sunglasses, her vibrant red lips curling into a wild smile.
She said something in Texas currency, "Pigs, a nose with two holes!"
Afterwards, she casually sped up, securing the first place on the race track without issue.
"Pfft!" The two drivers were so enraged they could vomit blood. She actually called them pigs!
At that moment, Su San and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
That was close, they were almost scared to death by Gu Xiaoxi.
They thought she was going to fall into the trap!
Quan Shaoqing sat in the lounge, hand on his chest, his temper flaring, ready to kill at any minute.
He also was almost scared to death, unable to explain his anxious and irritated feelings just then.
He wished he could fire a cannon to help Gu Xiaoxi blow up those two cars.
Now taking a breath of relief, his anger grew even stronger.
This woman, if she dares to act recklessly behind his back again, he’ll see how to deal with her.
At this moment, on the race track.
Korte had switched to a new car and was catching up at top speed.
Initially, Gu Xiaoxi thought it was a stranger, but she soon realized it was Korte, who had switched racecars.
"Tough guy, truly an Immortal roach!" Gu Xiaoxi narrowed her eyes, an ominous feeling creeping in.
She started to step hard on the gas, accelerating.
Korte was chasing with all his might.
The distance was closing in gradually!
Gu Xiaoxi’s face looked a bit unsightly at that moment, the gap between the high-performance racecar and an ordinary one became evident.
Within just five minutes, Korte had closed the gap to about ten meters.
It could be said that he could catch up any second now.
The spectators below, even more anxious than Gu Xiaoxi, especially Su San, nearly forty years of age, the old boss of the Assassins’ Circle, always calm and collected, was now restless.
If Gu Xiaoxi lost, with the odds at one to ten and bets piling on Korte to win, he would likely be bankrupt.
The quality of these racecars is deadly!
The shameless Korte actually switched to a new car.
Danny’s face was also growing somber; the wide track was the ultimate test of a person’s driving skill, adaptability, and the performance of the racecar.
Any discerning eye could tell that Korte’s racecar was extremely powerful.
"Mr. Little X is going to lose! Quick, place a bet, bet on Korte to win. We could make ten times our bet then," Korte’s fans became even more feverish in their betting.
Su San was sweating in his palms, the intensity more taxing than if he were racing himself.
At this moment, on the race track.
Korte let out a cold laugh.
Without hesitation, he stepped on the brake, his car surging up, side by side with Gu Xiaoxi’s racecar.
He rolled down the window, looking at Gu Xiaoxi in the driver’s seat, sneered sinisterly and bloodthirstily, "Shorty, if you’re so capable, chase after me!"
With that, he stamped on the gas, and his car sped away.
Gu Xiaoxi had a thousand curses racing through her mind.
She laughed coldly but didn’t give up; instead, she pursued Korte at full speed.
There was still almost half the distance to cover, and the trickiest part of the track hadn’t even started. It was not decided yet who would fall prey!
She was in no hurry...
If Korte wanted to show off his power, then she would let him have his moment of glory, for a few minutes.
Gu Xiaoxi’s mind whirled fast; she gripped the steering wheel tight, chasing after him at the highest speed.
For a time, the victory on the racetrack was lopsided.
Korte quickly left Gu Xiaoxi behind!
