However, news quickly spread that Alice was the one driving, with Eric just as the passenger.
Everyone instantly understood.
“Mr. Eric’s just being sentimental. He wants to feel that rush one more time.
“Anyone who’s ever raced knows–you never forget that kind of thrill.”
When Alice placed her bet, the people around her looked at her with strange expressions.
If she had bet on Eric finishing last, maybe she’d have a shot at winning.
But betting on first place?
Had this woman lost her mind?
But Alice didn’t give them a chance to investigate her identity–she turned and walked away immediately.

It was just a minor incident no o
Soon, the crowd’s attention shifted.
“Look, that’s John!” Alice followed their gaze.
John wore a white casual tracksuit. His skin was pale, and he wore black sunglasses.
A black stud glinted in one ear. Hands in his pockets, he exuded a quiet swagger.
As soon as he appeared, the girls in the crowd screamed non–stop.
John, young and carefree, happily took selfies with fans.
Suddenly, a group of bodyguards in black suits rushed over, parting the crowd.
“What are you doing? Are you blind?”
“Keep it down. That could be Douglas.”
Douglas? The guy who races like he’s got a death wish?”
“That’s him. In one of his overseas races, he flipped three cars and killed two people.”
Afterwards, when a reporter asked him how he felt, he said, “They deserved it. The weak don’t belong on the track.”
“How terrifying. Why did they invite a killer to race?*
“No choice. The competition doesn’t ban him. He signed up

Alice had spent the past two years training in seclusion in the mountains.
She hadn’t kept up with the international racing scene, so she’d never heard of this Douglas guy.

In the crowd, someone suddenly asked, “If Douglas went up against Quantum, who do you think would win?”
“I’d still bet on Quantum. He’s a veteran.”
Don’t forget, Douglas is ruthless. Blood is spilled every time he races. Scott and John might be in serious trouble tonight.”

Inside the Silverfox Phantom.
Eric slowly buckled his seatbelt and looked at Alice beside him.
“How confident are you?”
Alice gazed at the wirkling track ahead, like a ribbon shaped around the mokotain. A faint smile curved her lips.
“What about you?
Enc leaned back in his seat. I’m not the one driving
“But you’re the one who’ll take home the prize.”
Alice rolled down the window and looked at the darkening sky
“As a doctor, my favorite therapy is joy therapy. No point curing your illness if you end up with depression.”
Enc choked a little “Could you at least say something encouraging?”
He glanced up at the sky. “Thus weather looks like it’s about to pour.”

Alice rested her hands on the wheel like she was awakening something deep in her DNA. “Perfect”

Eric didn’t know what to say. Such arrogance.
He looked at the car beside them–Douglas’s. After a moment, he gave her a final warning.
“Know your limits.”
Alice was in a good mood and didn’t mind his nagging.
She even felt like talking more.
“IfI stayed within my limits, someone might just steal your car.
Eric shrugged. “Then I guess it’s fate.”
Alice didn’t bother replying.
The sky was growing darker by the minute. Scott stepped down from the viewing platform and walked toward his car.
Before getting in, he habitually looked around to study the cars parked beside his.
