BXBX NOVEL Chapter 167 - Finish Line.
Yang Dao held the girl in his arms and walked a few steps away before the car exploded. Mika shrunk into his arms. She was scared and did not notice that the boy did not even blink an eye when the explosion occurred.
He bent down and placed her on the ground. He said, "Take off your helmet and lay down. The emergency personnel will be coming over in a few seconds, I will meet you after the race is complete." with that said, he walked back to his car, picked up his helmet, put it on, pushed the car slightly outside on the track and with a ZOOM, vanished.
Mika stared blankly in his direction and felt her heart beating at a high pace. It was as if the car engine was roaring inside her. She lay down on the ground as Yang Dao said and after a few moments emergency personnel came over to her.
...
In the stands, the audience cheered up with gusto. Yang Dao had now become a hero for them. The VIPs who were silently hoping for Feng Yun to lose the bet were ashen. They did not even wait for the race to complete and left the venue to go back to their respective countries.
Icarus and the others jumped up in cheers. Kiya silently wiped a tear from the corner of her eye and sighed in relief. However, Yurika fished out her phone, sent a long message to Sister Tina, and complained about the boy being too careless.
Feng Yun and the rest of the familiars did not show much of an expression on their faces as they already were confident in Yang Dao. The boy passed Mika twice, and he did it all with his skills. The accident happened due to Mika\'s carelessness and could not be pinned on the Dao Child.
Even if they wanted to pin it on him, the familiars were ready to hold the skies to safeguard their young master.
...
The rest of the race was Yang Dao on a joy ride in the fastest track machine ever. This vehicle did not go as fast as Quinn, yet it had the consistency to maintain the top speed. Quinn was a car for the normal roads where top speed was rarely shown. While the track needed the full show of power from but man and machine.
Dillion stood over the podium holding a checkered flag in his hands. Just one lap before this Yang Dai entered his final lap, the others also increased their output and the distance between them was shortened by a lap.
A Black and white vehicle came roaring from the distance and Dillon started to wave the flag. Just as his flag waved once.
ZOOMMM...
The car passed below like a fighter jet. Yang Dao slowed down and entered the pit lane. The race was finished for him. Viktor slapped the back of his head hard as soon as he got down. He scolded, "Brat, are you too pumped in your heart? What would have happened if that thing exploded?"
Yang Dao smiled sheepishly and did not reply. He knew that the old man is doing all this out of his concern for himself(Yang Dao). After scolding him for a few minutes the old man calmed down. Karl came over and said, "Young Master, good job." he said in a whisper.
Yang Dao smiled and the two exchanged a fist bump. The reporters did not wait for the race to finish and the result to be announced they flooded over to interview him but were stopped by the security guards. The lady reporter, however, was a commentator correspondent of the event so only she was allowed.
She asked Yang Dao, "Sir, is it alright to ask you a few questions, now?"
The boy nodded with a smile. The lady asked with a smile, "How do you feel after winning this event?"
"Relaxed and satisfied." the boy replied quickly. He was just like Feng Yu while talking to the media. He would smile but not reveal too much.
The lady nodded and asked, "Sir, what were you thinking when you rushed to the tilted car?"
Yang Dao replied, "That, I need to do something to help her." his voice was calm but his eyes were sincere. He really just wanted to help her.
The lady asked, "Even though she is your competitor and your sister is betting her company with her?" her question was genuine. Not a lot of people would have the guts to do what Yang Dao.
"The stakes of gamble did not include life. Also, the company was just collateral, in case I back out to fulfill the condition. Even if she is my competitor, she is a human being. She met an accident while doing her best on the track. If I cannot even respect her efforts, then what sort of human am I or am I even a Human?
If humans started to look at each other with glasses of meaningfulness then the world will come to an end. You may think that I am just spouting non-sense but ask yourself. When you help someone do you not feel good? And do you not know how some people for their selfishness ruin lives?" he stopped after the question because he hated how humans were these days and this was not the right place to speak.
The lady nodded and said, "Thank you for your time and words, Sir. Congratulation on the victory."
Yang Dao nodded, thanked her, and retreated to the pit stop. Soon, the results were allowed, the top three were asked to come over the stage and collect the award.
The person who finished second was Sylvan\'s disciple, Amil. He and Yang Dao talked for a bit, they found out quite a lot of common things of interest. They parted after exchanging their contact numbers. The third place was taken by a girl. She was quite shy to talk to Yang Dao. When she saw the footage where he carried Mika in his arms and the car exploded behind them. She was already a fan of his.
She asked for his contact details and left quickly like a Doe running from a hunter. The Dao Child did not notice that few pair of jealous eyes were almost killing that girl.
