Chapter 33 Vanished into thin air

Bertram hadn't even finished marveling when he saw the Koenigsegg One ahead of him take another high-speed turn. The driving skill and speed were so intense that it made his heart race and his breath catch.

"Bertram! Come on! Don't let that pretty boy win!"

"Yeah, Bertram, if we lose, we'll be out all these supercars."

"It's not just about the cars; it's the shame. We won't be able to show our faces."

The car radio crackled with the frantic voices of his friends.Vroom!

Bertram narrowed his eyes and floored the gas pedal.

"I can lose, but I will never surrender!"

"It's time to push my limits!"

Fueled by their words, Bertram's fighting spirit soared.

Unfortunately, his fiery red Ferrari was falling further and further behind the Koenigsegg One, only able to catch glimpses of its taillights in the distance.

...

On the other side, Berloff Reed's twin sister,Trista, sitting in the passenger seat, had a flushed face and eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Wow! This is so thrilling!"

"Berloff, your drifting skills are amazing!"

"Haha... Those guys are so clueless. Now they can only eat our dust."

Starting from a kilometer behind, Berloff had accelerated and, within a few minutes, left everyone in the dust.

Porsche 911s, Lamborghinis, McLarens, Ferraris—none of them stood a chance against Berloff's masterful driving skills.

Witnessing all this, Trista was thrilled and excited, feeling an overwhelming sense of joy and pride. She couldn't have been happier.

Her sister, Jasmine, hugged Trista's slim waist and exclaimed, "Are we really about to win?"

"Does that mean Mr. Berloff is going to get several supercars for free?"

Berloff Reed turned to glance at Jasmine, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Heh, why aren't you screaming and yelling for me to stop now?"

Jasmine's cheeks flushed with embarrassment. "Oh, I didn't know Mr. Berloff was so amazing before!"Berloff smiled slightly. "We're just a few miles from the city. We are indeed about to win."

"When we get there, I'll give each of you a car. You can pick whichever one you like!"

Trista's eyes widened, her breath catching in her throat. "Brother Berloff, are you really going to give us cars? Those are worth millions!"

Berloff grinned. "I have a few more supercars at home. I can't drive them all, so it's perfect to give you guys some."

"A few million-dollar cars, nothing too fancy. I hope you won't mind."The seven luxury cars the system had awarded him were worth at least twenty million each. Compared to that, a few million-dollar Porsches and Ferraris seemed insignificant to Berloff.

Smooch!

In her excitement, Trista leaned over and planted a sweet kiss on Berloff's cheek.

"Brother Berloff, I love you so much!" Trista's enthusiastic and fiery demeanor made her older sister, Jasmine, hesitate. "Uh...," she started, but then sighed. Oh well! A young man who could casually give away luxury cars worth millions was rare. She decided to let her sister have her fun.While Jasmine was comforting herself, Berloff pointed to the red lipstick mark on his face and motioned towards Jasmine with his mouth. "What about you? Aren't you going to show some appreciation?"

Boom! Jasmine's face turned beet red with embarrassment. "Oh, Brother Berloff, you're so naughty!"

"Hahaha..." Berloff laughed heartily. "Not bad, not bad! Even though you didn't kiss me, calling me Brother Berloff makes giving away the car worth it."

Smooch! Seeing this, Trista giggled and leaned in to plant a firm kiss on Berloff's cheek. "Hehe, Brother Berloff, my sister is sitting below me, so it's inconvenient for her to kiss you. I'll do it for her."

Screech! Boom! Just as Berloff was about to make a playful remark, his eyes narrowed, and he swiftly turned the steering wheel, heading directly towards the highway exit ramp.

Not only did Berloff Reed possess driving skills comparable to top race car drivers, but after consuming the system's transformative pill, his senses became razor-sharp, and his vision was extraordinary.

Trailing behind Berloff and eating his dust was Bertram. He watched as Berloff was about to reach the city and win the race. However, the silver-gray Koenigsegg One suddenly veered off the main road and headed towards a side road.

"What the heck? What's going on?"

"He was about to win! Why did he leave the highway for a side road?"

Soon, the other rich kids noticed this too.

"What the hell? Did that pretty boy lose his mind?"

"He was so close to winning, and he just gave up? I don't get it!"

"Did he get lost or something?""Hey, that might be it! He doesn't look like a local from Silk City!"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go! We're definitely winning now!"

"Yeah, once we reach the city, that multi-million-dollar Koenigsegg One is ours!"

Vroom!

Everyone floored their gas pedals, racing towards the highway exit in a mad dash.

"Hahaha... We're gonna win!"

"Bertram's got the upper hand now. Looks like that Koenigsegg One is his!""That pretty boy scared me for a second. Who knew he'd turn into an idiot right at the finish line!"

Woo-woo!

Just as they were celebrating their imminent victory, a dozen police cars burst out from the highway exit curve, blocking their path completely.

"Everyone, pull over!"

"Listen up, get out of your cars and prepare for inspection!"

"Racing on the ring road, you guys must have a death wish!"

This scene left Bertram and his friends feeling utterly dejected, like they had lost everything.

"Damn it, these cops are so sneaky, hiding here to catch us!"

"This is bad. My old man is going to beat me up again."

"Such a shame. I've only had my Porsche for a month, and now who knows how long it'll be impounded."

The group of rich kids groaned and reluctantly got out of their cars, their faces full of frustration and embarrassment.

Bertram, the leader, was fuming with anger.

Now he understood why Berloff Reed, who was clearly about to win, suddenly took an exit and left the highway early.

That jerk must have seen the ambush ahead.

"This is unfair!"

"Why didn't you catch the driver of that Koenigsegg One who was leading the race?"

As Bertram was being handcuffed by two officers, his face turned red, and he shouted loudly.

"Yeah! You can't just arrest us and let that pretty boy go!"

"Damn it, if we were racing, that guy was practically flying a plane!"

"Exactly, his speed was insane!"

"Right, compared to his car, we might as well have been driving tractors."

Hearing this, a tall, strikingly beautiful policewoman stepped forward.

"Hey, from the drone footage earlier, it looks like there's indeed a silver sports car missing."

"Captain, that guy must have taken the fork in the road ahead. I'll go after him!"

She eagerly hopped onto her police motorcycle."Eleanor! Wait!"

Lincoln shouted in panic, his face turning pale.

She was a young lady with an impressive background, and if anything happened to her, he couldn't bear the responsibility.

Vroom!

Before he could finish his sentence, the black Kawasaki roared to life and sped off, disappearing in an instant.
