Chapter 76: Victory and Defeat

Chapter 76: Victory and Defeat

"Little girl, you are excellent, but it's a such pity that you still can't beat me!"

After Gabriel Edwards' car overtook Maria Quinn's, he showed showed a hint of a smug smile.

In fact, to be honest, he felt that Maria's performance was amazing enough.

She came out on top with her incredible starting speed at the very beginning.

From the start, she left Tomas Taylor, an amateur, far behind.

When crossing the stone pier, Maria seized the rear car's visual blind spot and set an ingenious trap.

If it wasn't for the fact that Gabriel angled the car up and shortened the lateral absolute distance of his car, it was bound to crash.

Luca Nieh, whose driving skill was not bad, was caught in the trap.

Last time Maria failed on a V-bend, so she changed her running technique this time.

She had been successful in utilizing inertia to turn around and maintain high speed through the bend.

All these skills made him feel her admirable.

If it weren't for Gabriel’s three years of working as a designated driver, which made him proficient in driving, and his driving skills by instinct, he would definitely have failed.

It was a pity that Maria fell short of success for her new skill.

The ultimate winner of this race could only be him. There was no difficulty in the rest of the track.

Maria was behind, chasing desperately.

But it seemed impossible for Maria to surpass Gabriel with almost the same car and a regular road section.

As long as Gabriel maintained speed without making any mistake, and kept surpassing her car, he would definitely win.

The race continued.

Turning at a right angle, the two rushed onto a riverbank.

Because of this turn, Gabriel overtook her car to a certain extent.

The following road section was straight and 200 meters long.

They were approaching the finish line, where many people were gathered, waiting for the final winner.

"It's going to be over!" Gabriel thought.

He stared at Maria domineeringly. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

He was that kind of person who would never ever allow his failure due to carelessness.

The more critical the moment, the more vigilant he would be.

"D*mn, d*mn..."

She tried to overtake Gabriel several times, but was obstructed by him every time.

Maria had no choice.

As she approached the finish line, she was unwilling to be left behind.

"I will fight with you!"

Her pride did not allow her to accept failure.

For the last glimmer of hope, she made a crazy move.

She turned to the right and rushed towards the slope of riverbank.

"I'm the winner!" Gabriel thought.

He was about to cross the finish line.

But at this moment, Maria's car disappeared behind him.

Just as he felt puzzled, he saw her car rushing out from the slope of the nearby riverbank.

Her car almost flew out with the speed of light.

"Does this woman go crazy?"

Even Gabriel was shocked.

In order to overtake him, Maria actually drove the car onto the steep slope of riverbank on which there are many stones.

If she made any mistakes, she was very likely to overturn the car and rush into the river.

"The woman was literally risking her life." He thought.

"Huh!"

The two cars crossed the finish line almost at the same time.

A crowd of onlookers at the finish line cheered one after another.

But nobody saw clearly who had crossed the finish line earlier.

In the distance, Gabriel suddenly braked and then stopped his car swiftly.

But Maria‘s car slipped for a while given her fast speed, so it took her a long time to stop the car.

"Maria Quinn! Excellent woman!" He praised her.

After getting off the car, he lit a cigarette and leaned against the door.

He rarely praised others, especially women.

But this time, she really astonished him.

Maria got off the car and hurriedly headed towards Gabriel.

At this moment, they stared at each other.

There was even a sense of sympathy.

"What's your name?"

Maria Quinn asked immediately when she walked up to Gabriel.

"Gabriel Edwards." He blew out smoke and said.

Maria nodded with a sudden realization.

He was a household name in Silverwood some time ago.

She also heard of that.

"You were the one who drove the van last time, right? Why didn't you dare to admit it before?" Maria asked again.

This time he chose to be honest and said: "The members of the Davis family think that I am a dead person. I need to conceal my identity."

"Let's go to the finish line and see the results," Gabriel said.

Maria didn't continue to ask him.

She nodded and turned towards the finish line, as if she trusted Gabriel very much,

"The result came out!"

Gabriel took a strong puff of the cigarette.

He then threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out, following behind Maria.

"It was Miss Maria who crossed the finish line first!"

"It was my bro who crossed the finish line first!"

"..."

Eagle had a verbal battle with many people at the finish line.

The distance between the two cars was very small just now, so it was difficult to decide who was the winner.

"Maria!"

Yvonne Ward's ears were overwhelmed by the noise, waving her hand all the way towards Maria.

She was incomparably puzzled, "Isn't it a four-car race, how come only two cars came to the finish line?"

Maria and Gabriel walked towards the same direction.

The bickering stopped abruptly.

"Mr. Bill, announce the result."

Maria was a bit impatient and said to a foreigner.

This foreigner was the professional referee she had hired.

Luckily, there were ultra-sensitive cameras installed at the finish line.

The referee was definitely able to give them a result.

And in her opinion, it should be a draw.

Yvonne Ward around Maria said confidently:"Maria is definitely the winner. I've never seen her lose a match in my life, let alone to a non-mainstreamer."

The others immediately echoed and hissed at Gabriel.

Eagle still wanted to tried to refute them, but was stopped by Gabriel.

Winning and losing didn't lie in the volume of the voice.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the two cars crossed the finish line almost simultaneously with a very small gap. But after checking the footage of the ultra-sensitive camera, it has been very clear that the first one to cross the finish line was this gentleman's car. License plate number Qin A3T77!"

Bill spoke in broken English and played back the footage.

Suddenly, onlookers stopped hissing at Gabriel.

Everyone was quiet.

With a gloomy expression, Maria's slowly walked over to Bill and picked up the video camera.

At the moment, it was a static image.

It was clear that Gabriel's car was about ten centimeters ahead of her car.

"I lost!"

She went into a trance with her eyes filled with loss.

She had unexpectedly lost.

She had never lost since she was a child, but this time she lost.

"Since the matter has been settled, I don't think Miss Maria has forgotten the previous agreement."

Gabriel squinted and smiled, looking up and down at Maria.

"Her figure wasn't as voluptuous as Stella's, but she was slender and curvy." He thought.

Gabriel was already guessing what style of underwear she would prefer.

"It must be the sexy style!" He bet.

Maria tightly closed her eyes and clenched her fists.

She went blank and cannot face the reality.

Yvonne couldn't bear that and shouted to Gabriel, "You are unusually strange. Do you really want to strip off a girl's underwear? Are you well-mannered?"

"Stop morally kidnapping me. Losers are meant to fulfill their bets. She lost the match, so she must admit it. What nonsense are you talking about there?"

Gabriel glared at Yvonne and said.

"Yvonne is such a b*tch."

"Her speech is very annoying." Gabrie felt.

Yvonne stomped her feet in frustrated rage, because no man had ever been so mean to her.

"Gabrie is not a man." she thought.

Gabriel didn't want to talk with Yvonne anymore, but said to Maria, "Miss Maria, can you accept the cost of failure? If you can't, just tell us. That would save our time."

His words triggered her anger. She suddenly opened her eyes.

She said coldly, "Okay, come on and take my clothes off. It lies in you whether you can take it off or not."
