The Miraculous Simone Gray

Chapter 172

Chapter 172 How Did He End up Here?

During the noon break, the live broadcast had stopped for an hour.

Simone retrieved three talismans she had previously drawn and folded into triangles from her bag, placing one in her pocket.

In case of an attack using mystical arts during the competition, she intended to use the talisman for defense.

Then, she handed one to Zac and another to Harry. “These are the talismans I drew. Keep them close to you.”

She was also concerned that someone might target them while she participated in the competition.

Harry, somewhat confused, accepted the talisman. “Thank you, Simone!” Although he refrained from asking further questions, he believed Simone must have her reasons.

Zac, on the other hand, received the talisman with concern, asking, “Will there be any problems?” He knew that Simone wouldn’t suddenly produce the talisman, give it to them, and keep one for herself.

Simone reassured him with a look and said, “It’s fine.”

Only then did Zac nod and caution, “Be careful during the competition. If you can’t win the prize money, it doesn’t matter. Just treat it as a fun experience.”

For Zac, Simone’s safety was more important than winning the prize money.

Although Harry didn’t fully comprehend their conversation, he sensed potential dangers during the competition..

Following suit, he said, “Yes, winning or not winning the prize money is not important. Safety comes first.”

Touched by their words, Simone said, “Alright!” The three of them sat down, chatting for a while before relaxing on the couch in the rest area.

At one–thirty, an announcement from the organizers in the rest area instructed all participants to gather at the competition venue and locate their assigned motorcycles according to the numbers on their race cards.

Simone changed into her racing suit and handed her backpack to Zac.

With a confident smile, she waved goodbye to the two of them and headed toward the

racetrack.

As she left the rest area, Simone was unexpectedly bumped into by a tall and handsome young man.

She realized it was intentional and looked at him.

To her surprise, she recognized him instantly, though she didn’t show it.

The person who bumped into her was Skyler.

Despite being with Leon for years, she had never crossed paths with Skyler. This was due to Mrs. Foster’s disapproval, resulting in an average relationship between Leon and Skyler.

So, she had never met Skyler before.

She recognized him because she had seen his photos.

Skyler, in white shirt and trousers, looked handsome with an elegant and refined demeanor, resembling a charming young nobleman.

At the moment, one of his hands was holding a mobile phone, answering a call.

He apologized when he bumped into Simone, “Sorry, I was on the phone and didn’t pay attention. I accidentally bumped into you.”

Simone, treating him like a stranger, shook her head without a word and moved to leave.

Skyler ended the call and blocked her way, saying, “Miss, are you okay?”

Simone looked at him with a half–smile and half–smirk, replying, “I’m fine, but if you want to strike up a conversation, please consider the situation.”

She gave him a look that conveyed she was not interested in him.

Skyler laughed and said, “You’ve misunderstood,” gesturing an invitation..

Simone nodded and continued walking forward.

As they passed each other, Skyler whispered a reminder, “Be careful later!” Before Simone could react, Skyler had already taken a step forward. NôvelDrama.Org content.

Simone maintained the same expression, neither turning around nor stopping.

However, she was puzzled.

Why does Skyler suddenly appear? What does his reminder mean?

When they passed each other, she had been on guard, but Skyler did nothing besides the warning, leaving her perplexed.

For example, put something on her.

However, her guard became even stronger.

After Simone reached her destination, she meticulously inspected the motorcycle assigned to her, finding no issues.

Before the race commenced, she transferred a strand of auspicious energy from the jade pendant around her neck to a protective talisman–a mystical tool from her master containing a potent aura of auspiciousness.

Activating it was crucial for shielding herself from temporary curses or hexes.

After seeing Skyler, whether his reminder was well–intentioned or had a purpose, it signaled that someone would target her during the race.

To ensure her safety, she added an extra layer of protection.

While Simone prepared, the other two teams arrived one after another.

The production team suggested they sit together to enhance the viewing experience for recording.

Simone had her own live stream room, while the others had theirs.

Leon and his group, originally planning to find a separate place to watch the race, ended up sitting behind Zac’s group after coordinating with the organizers, who agreed to let them livestream.

At precisely 2 p.m., the participants mounted their motorcycles.

As the organizers‘ signal dropped, all the motorcycles zoomed out.

The race took place in a specially designed area for motorcycle training and competitions, featuring flat roads with numerous bends and protective measures on both sides.

Simone quickly caught up with the motorcycles at the front after zooming out.

Drones live–streamed the contestants‘ situation on the big screen for the audience.

Zac and others were watching the live stream intently on the big screen.

Simone surpassed competitors one by one and found herself neck and neck with another contestant, vying for the lead.

The tension escalated, particularly when two motorcycles appeared on the verge of collision. during two bends.

Simone rode her motorcycle, anticipating the challenging course.

However, at the final bend, wisps of negative energy emerged from the ground, entangling her motorcycle, which caused it to slip and slide forward.

Simone and the motorcycle tilted, nearly touching the ground, and seemed on the verge of crashing out of the track.

On the big screen, it appeared as if a crash was imminent.

Zac and the others wore worried expressions, while Jodie couldn’t help but get excited.

Indeed, that person never makes mistakes. Simone, you troublemaker. Before wanting to show off, you should ask if we agree or not. At such a high speed, falling while leaning on a bend, you’re inevitably going to get injured. It’s best if it plays out just as I curse.

The live stream audience felt nervous, sweating for Simone.

Just as everyone expected a crash, Simone executed a breathtaking drift just before reaching the ground noodles, skillfully maneuvering through the last bend at an extreme angle.

Astonishingly, with this stylish drift, she overtook the motorcycle in front.

The heavily tilted motorcycle returned to its normal driving mode.

Then, at an even faster pace, she surged past the finish line.

In an instant, shouts and applause erupted at the scene.

Many were amazed by Simone’s maneuver, and Zac’s group couldn’t contain their excitement, standing up to cheer.

Jodie, however, couldn’t believe what she was witnessing–how Simone had managed to avoid a crash and secure first place seemed impossible.
