Bai Li said nothing. She got into the car, restarted the engine, and as she listened to its roar, a deeper smile flickered in her eyes.
"Continue?"
Bai Li held the steering wheel with one hand, casual and lazy, as she looked at the others.
She was still the same as before, yet everyone felt an indescribable shift.
Others couldn't put it into words, but Zhou Jiami sensed it clearly.
Presence!!!
The aura radiating from Bai Tang was different now!
If the old Bai Tang had only been arrogant and reckless, unmatched by her actual skill, then the Bai Tang before them now exuded a commanding presence that stunned everyone—like a king!
Zhou Jiami was startled by this realization. She frowned, questioning herself. What was she thinking?
Bai Tang had just been knocked out by a car, so she dared to challenge her so arrogantly!
With Bai Tang's third-rate driving skills, what was there to fear?
"Bai Tang, you really aren't afraid of death, are you? With this piece of junk, you think you can beat me?" Zhou Jiami sneered, her eyes full of contempt.
"So, you're scared?" Bai Li smirked.
Zhou Jiami laughed coldly. "Later, you'll be on your knees licking my shoes!"
With that, Zhou Jiami quickly strode toward her car.
Everyone scrambled into their vehicles.
Bai Li reversed her car. The front hood was badly damaged, and with the movement, a piece fell off. Zhou Jiami's group had already started their engines and driven off.
Bai Li flexed her wrist. The collision had dislocated her right hand. Frowning, she grabbed her right wrist with her left hand and—crack—snapped the bone back into place.
Damn, that hurt!
She shifted gears, stepped on the gas, and turned the wheel...
The car sped onto the road.
Zhou Jiami's group had already left Bai Li far behind!
Zhou Jiami, leading the pack, was already confident of victory!
The group behind her dismissed the straggling Bai Tang entirely.
That broken car, and she thought she could overtake them?
What a joke!
But just as they laughed, they saw the battered golden car closing in, weaving skillfully through their vehicles.
Before they could react, the golden streak vanished from sight, leaving only exhaust fumes in its wake.
They froze.
"Holy crap, since when did that idiot drive like this?"
"What the hell just happened?"
"Was that... Bai Tang's junker?"
"Why do I inexplicably think that was cool?"
They all communicated through their earpieces, their mission to block Bai Tang from catching up, but she didn't give them a single chance.
Zhou Jiami heard the chatter in her earpiece and naturally saw Bai Tang closing in through her rearview mirror.
A flicker of coldness and irritation crossed her eyes. Since when did that idiot have this level of skill?
But even so, Bai Tang couldn't beat her!
After the final curve, they'd reach the finish line. She smirked, already seeing victory in sight!
Bai Tang smirked, radiating a sinister charm, especially with the streak of blood on her cheek, making her look utterly devilish!
The last curve, huh? How about a little surprise?
The turn was sharp, with a cliff on the outer edge. Zhou Jiami hugged the inner side, slowing down.
But then, the battered golden car overtook her from the outside, without slowing at all. Zhou Jiami's pupils dilated in an instant. If it hit her car, either the other car would be knocked off the cliff, or she'd crash into the rock wall!
