Chapter 280 Searching for Mom and Dad Hendrick and Linus observed that their younger sister seemed down. “Kate, is something bothering you?” Linus gently patted Kate’s shoulder and added with a hint of nonchalance. “You know how stubborn Isaac can get. Don’t let it worry you, okay?” Kate inhaled deeply, gave a gentle nod, and then looked at Linus. “What about our parents? Have you reached out to them while you were overseas?” When their parents were mentioned, Linus‘ face fell, and he looked visibly distressed. “I encountered Mom and Dad during one of my races. They just ignored me and walked away! “They even told me not to contact them unless it was urgent and not to ask for money if I’m broke, saying I should take care of myself! They even blocked me.” Linus, while speaking these words, puffed up with anger, resembling a pufferfish bristling with spines. Pf.” Kate couldn’t contain her laughter. Their parents were certainly capable of such actions. But this also meant that even if she found Linus, she wouldn’t be able to track down their parents through him. After all, their parents found Hendrick’s constant nagging tiresome and wanted to call them back to manage the company. To avoid this, they told him not to contact them directly and even pretended not to see the messages he sent As for Linus, they simply found him troublesome, as he frequently requested money to upgrade his racing car and continue racing! He was just a spendthrift, always nagging. So, their parents blocked him to avoid the hassle. The one their parents often communicated with most after they departed overseas was her. However, following a disagreement with her family, she blocked their contact details and even warned. against attempts to locate her. Kate found herself reminiscing over these memories once more, a tinge of melancholy washing over her. Yet, she swiftly shifted her mood. Locating her Linus was a positive step, and she reassured herself that Isaac and her parents were safe and would soon be reunited. A few days later, the fashion design exhibition in Krusada proceeded as scheduled. Before the exhibition began, Linus and Hendrick toured Kate around Krusada’s capital, capturing nhotne of the trin together and individual share of Ka Balance: 884 + 1 Coins 1 Pearls Chapter 280 Searching for Mom and Dad +5 Pearls Kate also kept Eric updated daily with photo updates and the current situation. However, during their nt situation. However, during their video calls, Kate couldn’t help but look at him with a hint of sorrow. I missed Ric dearly. “Kate, what are you thinking about? We’ve arrived.” Hendrick opened the car door and glanced at Kate, who seemed lost in contemplation in the back seat. With a smile, he called out. “Oh. I’m coming. Kate shook off her reverie, stepped out of the car, and promptly sent a photo to Eric: ‘Ric, check it out. We’re at the fashion design exhibition. Once it’s done. I’ll be heading back home. I miss you, Ric…” After sending the message, she stared at her phone for a while, but no reply came from Eric. Checking the time, she noted it was the middle of the night in Haldoria, which explained Eric’s lack of response. Pucking her phone away, she entered the exhibition hall accompanied by Hendrick and Linus, with their assistants and George also trailing close behind. exceptional The fashion design exhibition in Krusada wasn’t expansive, yet it displayed a wealth of designer creations. Kate’s eyes gleamed with admiration as she took in the clothing, her mind buzzing with continuous inspiration. Even after viewing all the clothing, she still felt a lingering desire for more. The fashion design exhibition buzzed with internationally acclaimed designers, many of whom immediately recognised Kate, cager to discuss and share design inspirations. After traversing the entire exhibition, Kate gleaned profound insights that enriched her perspective. After her discussions with the designers concluded, several hours had drifted by. Kate retrieved her phone, her brow furrowing in concern as she glanced at the screen. Why hadn’t Ric replied to my message yet?

Chapter 279 There’s Our Sister–in–law Spotting Kate, Linus swiftly released her hand and gave Hendrick a nudge, speaking firmly. “Cut it out! You’re not a kid anymore. Aren’t you embarrassed?” Hendrick stared back at Linus with a blank expression. If looks could kill, he would have already taken a knife to his brother! Kate looked at them amusedly, “What were you just talking about? Support wife? Do you have a lover, Linus?” Hendrick replied coolly. “Yeah, he has a girlfriend.” Excited and curious, Kate exclaimed, “Really? Linus, bring your girlfriend over so we can see!” Just as Linus was about to speak, Hendrick cut in, “You’ve already met her.” He gazed at Linus with icy eyes and bluntly interrupted. “Just saw her a moment ago.” Kate stared blankly at Hendrick, her mind struggling to catch up. “Huh?” She hadn’t seen any woman next to Linus just now! Did she see her just now? Could it be that Linus prefers guys? The thought made Kate feel awkward all over, and she looked at Linus, at a loss for words. Watching Kate’s expression change rapidly, Hendrick pointed to a red sports car parked nearby, saying, “There she is, our sister–in–law.” Kate followed his pointing finger and saw the flashy red sports car. “Hendrick! Arghhh!” Linus was so angry that he grabbed Hendrick by the neck, and Hendrick expressionlessly elbowed Linus in the stomach. The two brothers started fighting again. Meanwhile, Kate looked at the red sports car with a complicated expression and sighed softly. Well, it turns out that the so–called wife is a racing car. I thought Linus had come out of the closet just now. But this doesn’t seem much better than coming out, does it? Kate vividly remembered in her past life that when she died, Linus hadn’t even had a girlfriend! Among the three brothers, the only one who got married was Hendrick, who was manipulated into it, and his relationship with Anna was not good at all. The two brothers fought like elementary school kids, and in the end, Kate had to speak up to stop. them, Linus, Hendrick, stop it. I’m hungry.

I’ve been in Krusada for over half a month now, and I know the good spots. Let’s go.” Hendrick calmly smoothed out his hair, shooting a glare at Linus whom Kate couldn’t see. The three siblings, accompanied by George and a few bodyguards, went out together to find a restaurant. After all, this was Krusada, and they couldn’t afford anything going wrong. Kate had to stay safe, otherwise, when they returned, Eric would be furious! This was the first time in three years that the three siblings had gathered together for a meal. Despite the occasional bickering between Linus and Hendrick, the atmosphere was quite harmonious. and Kate felt completely relaxed. Under the indulgence of her two brothers, Kate ate too much and leaned back in her chair, sighing softly. “Linus, in all these years abroad, have you ever met Isaac? Idnus had also caten quite a lot, and he shook his head at her words. “I don’t even know where he is You know how our eldest brother is–his profession is unique, and no one can persuade him unless he reaches out to us first. Otherwise, we have no way to contact him.” Kate pursed her lips, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes. That’s right. It’s hard to get in touch with Isaac, and the fallout from the argument she had with the family three years ago… It must have hurt him deeply too.
1 Pearls Chapter 278 I Prefer to Keep a Low Profile On the other side of the video call, Eric watched Kate and Linus interact with a smile in his with indulgence. eyes. filled After chatting with Linus for a while, Kate turned her concern to Eric and asked, “Ric, have you been resting and eating well?” Eric chuckled softly and nodded. “Of course, it’s your orders. I must obey. Linus looked on in astonishment, observing Eric in a way he had never seen before. The Eric of the past had always been incredibly cold, even icy when facing them, but now, in front of Kate, his tender and loving side was showing. Linus wanted to continue watching for a while longer but Hendrick bluntly pulled him away. The couple was chatting, what are you doing here as a third wheel? After they stepped outside, Linus dropped his casual demeanor and looked at Hendrick seriously. “Did Kate really give up on that Simon?” Hendrick nodded and briefly explained the situation to Linus. Linus clicked his tongue in disapproval, his gaze deep and thoughtful as he looked towards the room. “That’s for the best. Eric seems okay with her, barely acceptable.” “By the way, when are you guys planning to go back home?” Hendrick pondered for a moment. Tll talk about some business later. We’ll head back after the fashion design exhibition wraps up in a few days.” He sighed softly. “We all know Kate’s temperament. After the exhibition, she’ll probably be itching to go back home and find Eric.” Linus remained silent, his eyes cast down as he pondered something. Then Hendrick asked, “And what about you? Are you going back home?” There was a hint of complexity in Linus’s eyes, but he quickly masked it and replied casually, “Me? I’m heading to Norathis next. Got a lot on my plate.” “Aren’t you famous for competing internationally? Why are you using a different name this time?” Hendrick stared at Linus, curious. Linus was also a top–tier international racer. In Haldoria, Linus’s name was well–known, and he was considered one of the best in the racing world. But here in Krusada, these people clearly didn’t recognize Linus’s identity. If they did, why would they support that Hurricane? Internationally, Linus ranked far ahead of Hurricane in the standings! Balance: 921 1 Coins = 1 Pearls Chapter 278 1 Prefer to Keep a Low Profile demeanor. “I prefer to keep a low profile.” Seeing his slightly guilty expression, Hendrick instantly understood. He looked at Linus expressionlessly and said softly, “I haven’t seen you in international racing this past year. Were you banned from racing because someone didn’t want you to place bets?” +5 Pearls events Linus was surprised that he was instantly exposed, but he still insisted stubbornly, “How could that be? They paid me to compete!” “Oh. Hendrick applauded half–heartedly. “Well, you’re amazing then. If that’s the case, why did you come to compete in Krusada this time and bet on yourself to win? “By the way, you must have made close to 15 million dollars this time, right? With that much money, you don’t need to ask me for money anymore.” Linus’s face darkened immediately. He hugged Hendrick around the neck and said, “My dear brother, you know how expensive it is to modify race cars! And they wouldn’t let me bet on myself, so I hardly won any money at all! Sobs, they say a racing car is a racer’s wife, but now I can’t afford to support my wife anymore!” Hendrick gritted his teeth. “Let go! You take care of your own ‘wife, why would you want your brother. to support her?” Linus held onto Hendrick’s neck tightly, refusing to let go. “No way! You have to give me money! I’m so broke!” When Kate finished her video call and opened the door, she walked in on Linus clinging to Hendrick’s neck for dear life. Hendrick struggled to break free while Linus continued to hold on, shouting. “Hendrick, you’re trying to murder your own brother You’re just being asked to support my wife, how much could it cost? You don’t want me as your brother anymore, do you?” Kate was puzzled.
Chapter 277 Kate is Awesome! The car carrying Linus and the others went straight to Eric’s villa. Soon, Linus’s flashy red sports car was also brought over. “Kate, tell me, how did you guys end up in Krusada?” Linus sat on the sofa, looking at Kate with curiosity, but more than that, there was affection and longing. He hadn’t seen his precious little sister in over three years, nor had he been in touch with her. Initially, he had intended to ignore Hendrick’s messages, but then he received a voice message from him. He had been about to ignore it too, but inexplicably, he opened the voice message and heard his beloved little sister’s sweet and tender voice. Linus listened to it repeatedly, more than a dozen times. It was not Hendrick playing tricks, it was really his beloved little sister whom he hadn’t contacted in three years! So, Linus, extremely excited, decided to advance his race, planning to find out where his little sister was right after finishing. He would then return home directly. However, after finishing the race, he unexpectedly saw his sister right before his eyes. Kate carefully recounted the sequence of events to Linus, including what had happened back home. As they were talking, Kate’s phone rang. Her face lit up with an even brighter and sweeter smile. She quickly paused their conversation with a gesture, signaling Hendrick and Linus to be quiet, before happily answering the video call. “Ric!” Kate greeted Eric cheerfully on the other end. It was evening in Haldoria at that moment. Eric looked freshly showered. His hair still slightly damp, wearing only a bathrobe with the collar half- open, water droplets rolling down. -Kate.” Eric smiled, his deep black eyes filled with indulgence. His voice was husky, tinged with a hint of grievance as he continued, “Why didn’t you video call me? Having too much fun in Krusada?” There was a hint of moisture in his dark eyes, and he didn’t seem as stern as usual. Balance: 1 Coins 91+0 1 Pearls +5 Pearls She quickly recounted the events at the car park and then turned the camera to show Eric Linus beside her. Eric raised an eyebrow and smiled lightly, saying, “Kate, you’re so amazing Pleased by his praise, Kate responded quickly, “It’s not me who’s amazing, it’s you! You let me come to this fashion design exhibition, otherwise how could I have come to Krusada and coincidentally met Linus!” Seeing Kate’s joyful face, Eric’s expression softened without him realizing it. Linus stared blankly as Kate and Eric sweetly chatted via video call, feeling his perception shaken. He quietly nudged Hendrick and whispered, “Kate and Eric seem really close now, huh?” When he heard Kate talk about this before, he thought that the relationship had just eased a little, but he didn’t expect that their relationship was so good. He genuinely felt happy for Kate. Hendrick nodded, adding something Kate had missed earlier, “And, Simon is dead.” Linus’s eyes widened with joy. “What? That scumbag Simon is dead? That’s great! We should set off some fireworks to celebrate!” Hearing Linus’s voice from the other side, Kate chuckled helplessly and said, “No need for fireworks. Someone like him doesn’t deserve our extravagance. Besides, to save money, they even scattered his ashes!” Linus gave his dear sister a thumbs–up. “Kate, you’re awesome!”
Chapter 276 Blacklist! Just like when they were kids, whenever Hendrick and Linus got together, Hendrick’s inner sarcasm burst out completely. In front of Kate, Hendrick appeared refined and gentle, a CEO with a mild and scholarly demeanor. But when facing Linus, he was more sarcastic than anyone else, especially when teasing Linus. Linus, with his naturally playful temperament, would fire back at his younger brother. The two of them were like bickering friends. Trying to calm his emotions, Linus looked at Kate and them, and asked in confusion, “Kate, how did you guys end up in Krusada and hanging out at the car yard?” He hadn’t leaked his whereabouts, and this time he came to Krusada on a whim. How come he just happened to see his precious little sister in Krusada? Well, it must be fate playing favorites with me! “Kate saw a flashy red sports car on the road and said it might be you, so we came.” Hendrick spoke lightly. Linus gaze glued to his sister, deeply moved. “Kate, do you know me that well? I’m so touched!” Kate chuckled. “I just thought the driver looked like you, so I came to check it out. Oh, by the way, we still need to go collect the money.” With that, she walked towards the direction of the staff. The staff had witnessed their interaction just now, and now seeing Kate and them come to collect money, their faces turned green with envy. But he couldn’t do anything about it. He had to accept his loss! After transferring the money to Kate and the others, the staff member coldly said, “If you’re not watching the game anymore, please leave the car yard as soon as possible.” If you stay here a moment later, I might snatch the money back! And those who lost money were probably eyeing them already. He wondered if they could safely leave the car yard in Krusada. But even if they couldn’t, so what? It had nothing to do with him! Linus stared in disbelief as they collected the money. After a moment of stunned silence, he awkwardly asked, “Did you all bet on me to win?” Kate pocketed her card and replied calmly, “Yeah.” Balance 957 1 Coins 1 Pearls Chapter 276 Blacklist! +5 Pearls seems like you really trust me. As the big brother, I’ve set a good example!” Hendrick mercilessly burst his bubble. “We didn’t bet on you. We bet on Haldoria.” Linus was annoyed. Can’t you let me feel proud for a moment? Just as he was about to say something, his expression suddenly turned serious. He quickly said in a low voice. “We need to leave now. The people who lost money are eyeing us. Follow me, we’ll escape through the back door!” Then, Linus turned and walked in one direction, with Kate and the others close behind. After circling all the way, they successfully exited through the back door of the car yard, avoiding those who were tailing them. Their bodyguards were already waiting outside with the car ready. Everyone got in, and the car sped away from the parking lot. Less than two minutes after they left, a large crowd came rushing out. “How did those Haldorian people get away so fast? Dmn it!” “It must have been Lin leading them. Whenever there’s a race, people try to block Lin, but they can never catch him!“. “Quick, get back and guard Lin’s carl” The group turned and ran back, but when they reached the garage and saw it empty, they were ready to curse. Not only had Lin and those other Haldorian guys escaped, but even the sports car had been moved! This time, they got nothing. They lost money and embarrassed themselves, “Blacklist him! We have to blacklist Lin. He’s never allowed to race here again!” In the heat of the moment, the car yard manager made a decision to ban Lin from racing there again. Seriously, not even Hurricane could catch up to him, and that kid also loved to bet like crazy. He had won millions from them in just half a month! art … Read More “Reborn of Kate Chapter 276” »
Chapter 275 I Don’t Cry The staff reluctantly paid all the money owed to Linus. Upon receiving the transfer confirmation, Linus grinned widely, kissed his own card fiercely, and then looked at the staff again, giving them a sideways glance. “Oh, by the way, did this race have any medals? If so, hurry up and give it to me. I need to go back and give it to my sister. Quick, quick! The staff looked at him, nearly in tears. Unable to resist Linus in the end, they reluctantly handed him a medal. Linus grinned with satisfaction as he pocketed the medal and card, then pulled out his phone. Opening a chat, he sent a voice message: ‘Kate, I miss you like crazy! I’ve brought back a bunch of medals and trophies for you. I’m heading back home to see you soon, so don’t ignore me, okay?” Linus‘ voice carried a cheerful tone, clearly showing that he was in a really good mood. But… When he saw the bright red exclamation mark in the chat box, his expression darkened instantly. “Hendrick!” Linus practically spat out this name, feeling utterly exasperated. That troublesome little brother! He blocked me! “What do you want?” Just as Linus muttered Hendrick’s name and angrily typed away in the chat box, a faint voice suddenly chimed in.. Linus hesitated for a moment, looked around, and didn’t spot anyone. Scratching his head, he thought he might have just imagined it. As he lowered his head to continue typing, someone tapped him on the shoulder from behind. “Linus, why are you so angry?” Linus jumped a bit and turned around, only to find Hendrick standing right beside him. “F*ck you, Hendrick. What are you doing here? You dared to block me, huh? You blocked me!” Linus grabbed Hendrick by the collar, ready to speak harshly, but his words halted abruptly when he saw Kate behind Hendrick. “K–Kate?!” Linus‘ eyes widened in disbelief when he saw the gentle girl standing behind Hendrick. Tears instantly welled up in his eyes. He felt a surreal wave of emotions, standing frozen in place for a moment.

The confident and bold man on the racetrack moments ago now stood with red eyes, unsure of what to do, uncertain if he should respond, and…. Unsure if he should embrace his beloved little sister. He stood there, stunned and motionless. Kate took a step forward and hugged him tightly. Her eyes were also red, choked up as she said, “Linus, I missed you so much.” The sensation of her in his arms was so real. Linus finally couldn’t hold back anymore. He gritted his teeth and hugged Kate back, sobbing, “Sobs… Kate, my dear baby sister, I missed you so much too! “Is this a dream? You’re here in Krusada, right before me. Sobs… Whether it’s a dream or not, I need to hug mysister first!” Linus cried excitedly. Hendrick looked away in disgust without looking at the ostentatious Linus, but there was a hint of tenderness on his face. Meanwhile, Kate chuckled with a mix of amusement and sympathy, patting Linus” back. “It’s real. I’m really Kate. Don’t cry.” Wiping his red eyes, Linus shrugged off Kate’s hand and insisted, “Who said I was crying? Kate, it’s just sand in my eyes. I don’t cry!” Hendrick chimed in coldly from the sidelines, “Yeah, yeah, you’re not crying. You just got something in your eyes.” Linus squinted his eyes. It’s just another day where I feel like strangling this little brother!
Chapter 274 Dominating Victory At this moment, inside the red sports car. Linus was fully focused on steering the car, and the speed kept increasing! Originally neck and neck. with Hurricane, now he was gradually pulling ahead, even widening the gap little by little. Hurricane looked on with a serious expression as the red sports car pulled ahead, clenching his teeth tightly. Where did this Lin come from all of a sudden? Half a month ago, Lin suddenly appeared at the racetrack in Krusada, challenging everyone around. None of the local racers could match him, and their pride took a hit! So, the racetrack management brought in Hurricane, one of the world’s top racers, to try and put Lin in his place. Hurricane didn’t know who this Lin guy really was, but someone with that level of skill couldn’t be a nobody in the international racing scene. Yet, he couldn’t figure out who exactly this person was. He kept watching the race videos Lin left behind in Krusada over and over again. After watching all the videos, Hurricane was sure of one thing: Lin was definitely a formidable opponent! His aggressive and fierce style made Hurricane feel a bit intimidated just watching him. Now, being at the same racetrack as Lin, Hurricane truly felt the oppressive force and dominance firsthand. Linus’s car firmly held its ground against him, making it tough for Hurricane to pass. But Hurricane wasn’t about to give up. Without a second thought, he floored it, trying to maneuver his car at a tricky angle to overtake. What he didn’t expect was that Linus’s car also accelerated at the same time, and even faster than his. In an instant, without any hesitation, it shot forward at full speed! It was all about drifting through corners, and it was done beautifully. His attention to detail was impeccable, and his car moves like a red spirit snake on the track. On the other hand, Hurricane, perhaps too eager to catch up with Linus, made a mistake on one of the corners. His car almost went off track but he narrowly managed to pull it back. But that small mistake had completely decided the outcome. Squeak! With a loud screech of brakes, the red sports car raced ahead and smoothly stopped at the finish line. It took roughly a minute before Hurricane’s car also reached the finish line. The whole place went silent for a moment! Balance 906 + 1 Coins 1 Pearls Victory +5 Pearls All the money they bet on this race just went down the drain! The people in the stands were glaring at Kate and her group as if they were seeing green. They weren’t just five loaded fools; they were walking ATMs! With odds of one to three, they just pocketed over nine million dollars! At that moment, quite a few people on the field were plotting their next move. Yet Kate’s gaze remained fixed on the figure in the red racing suit. Linus casually stepped out of the car, took off his helmet, and his young Haldorian face came clearly into view for everyone. “Ace Lin! Ace Lin!” A group of people began cheering. Hurricane’s expression soured as he couldn’t believe he’d lost to Linus’s youthful face, feeling. completely stunned. I lost to this young dude! “Thanks for the match,” Linus calmly said to Hurricane, and then waved to the spectators before turning to find the event staff. “Hey, now that the race is over and I’ve won, shouldn’t you give me my winnings? Hurry up, I’ve got a flight to catch back home. “Besides the money I bet, there’s also the prize money, totaling 7.5 million. Give it all to me together!” Kate stared wide–eyed as her own brother, like a bandit, held onto the event staff’s neck, his voice tinged with a hint of threat. She exchanged a glance with Hendrick, and then both of them rolled their eyes simultaneously. After all these years, Linus is still…. So unruly. And asking for a smackdown.
Facebook Twitter WhatsApp Pinterest Chapter 273 It’s Him The race between Lin and Hurricane had indeed been moved up. Originally scheduled to start in the afternoon, the race was brought forward by two hours. In half an hour, the race between Lin and Hurricane would begin! People in the car yard were spreading the word, and many racing enthusiasts were flocking to the event, including numerous Hurricane fans. Kate could already hear many people shouting for Hurricane to crush Lin and put him in his place. Meanwhile, a lot of curious eyes were on Kate and her group. The five of them stood out. But Kate didn’t care about the attention. She sat there, eyes glued to the garage with the red sports car. Lin… Linus Lowe.. Could it really be her brother? Kate thought again about that moment they passed each other. She caught a glimpse of that slightly blurry but handsome profile, combined with the flashy red sports car and his unbeatable driving skills. She felt it was her brother, Linus, whom she hadn’t seen in over three years. Amidst everyone’s cheers, Lin and Hurricane walked in from outside the car yard together. Hurricane was a tall Maridonia man with blond hair and blue eyes. As soon as he appeared, the crowd erupted in wild cheers. Lin was wearing a red racing suit and a red helmet with the flag of Haldoria on it. Hurricane stared intensely at Lin and said in broken Haldorian, “Lin, I won’t hold back.” With his helmet on, it was hard to see Lin’s expression, but he calmly replied, “You’d better give it your all, or you won’t even know how you lost. “Oh, by the way, I’ll finish the race quickly because I need to get back home. I’ve got some–important business to take care of and I’m in a hurry.” His voice was calm, but his words were incredibly arrogant. Hurricane squinted at the somewhat small Haldorian man opposite him, obvious anger flashing in his eyes Without saying anything, he turned and walked towards his own car.

Both Lin and Hurricane’s real voices were slightly altered, making their tones a bit muffled. Hendrick stared at the red sports car and finally nodded slowly. “It’s him.” Those eyes that had swindled him out of who knows how much money–there was no way he could be wrong! Hendrick hadn’t expected that his trip to Krusada for business and to accompany his sister to a fashion. expo would lead to him running into Linus here. He was still as arrogant as ever. Just as the siblings were brainstorming, the two cars simultaneously raced to the starting line. The race. began, and both cars shot off like arrows, racing straight ahead. Hurricane’s racing car was also modified, with a light green body. The red and green shadows sped. through the race track at high speed. Hurricanel Crush him!* “Go Hurricane!” Cheers filled the air on the field, all rooting for Hurricane, while provocatively glancing towards Kate’s side. Kate ignored those people completely, her eyes glued tightly to the red sports car. The two cars were neck and neck, but upon closer inspection, Lin’s red sports car was slightly ahead. Linus, you’ve got to step it up and beat that Hurricane guy Otherwise, all that over twenty million will be down the drain!
Chapter 272 Betting on Ace Lin’s Victory Surrounded by Hendrick and the others, Kate’s delicate and beautiful face was filled with coldness and disdain as she glared at them sternly. “Hey, little girl from Haldoria, did we hit a nerve?“. “Haha, definitely! Such a pretty girl, too bad she’s from Haldorial” “See, Haldoria people are so arrogant. Even a young girl dares to act wild on our Krusada’s turf.” As they talked, they sneered and rolled up their sleeves while walking towards Kate and her group. Their actions caught the attention of others, and in no time, a dozen or so people clenched their fists and approached Kate’s group, each wearing a hostile expression. Kate remained calm, her expression didn’t change, coldly observing those from Krusada approaching her. George and the others swiftly stepped forward, shielding Kate behind them. “What, looking for trouble?” George’s voice was cold, his eyes filled with a menacing chill. Even though this wasn’t Haldoria, they had their own influence in Krusada and weren’t afraid of the locals. “What’s going on? Do you think you can act recklessly in the car yard?” Just as tensions peaked between both sides, a few security personnels intervened, instantly silencing the group, who quickly turned around with apologetic smiles. “No, no, it’s just these Haldoria folks who don’t know their place.” “You were the ones who insulted us Haldoria folks first, and now you want to play innocent?” Kate stared at their suddenly changed expressions, speaking bluntly. The security personnel glanced at Kate, and then at the others, and said firmly, “Everyone, clear out. Ace Lin and Hurricane’s race is starting early. If you don’t want to watch the race, get lost!” After hearing that, the dozen or so people turned and walked away, not daring to say more. But before they left, one person shot George a nasty look. Kate’s face stayed serious as she looked away. She walked directly to the betting counter and slapped down a card without hesitation. Her voice was icy as she said, “One point five million dollars on Ace Lin to win.” Ever since Kate and her group caught those people’s attention earlier, others in the area had already noticed her. Now, seeing her confidently place a hefty bet of 1.5 million on Ace Lin, the place erupted in surprise. “Are you sure about this, miss?” The staff hesitated as they looked at Kate. After all, this race was between an unknown racer, Lin, and 1/2 the internationally renowned driver, Hurricane! Most people were betting on Hurricane to win, and there were very few supporters for Lin. “Absolutely.” Kate replied, her expression impassive. Not to mention that his name also had “Lin,” but just because he was from Haldoria, she wanted to bet on him to win! Hmph! Underestimating Haldoria folks, huh? Hendrick quietly pulled out a card and said softly, “One point five million dollars on Ace Lin to win.” George looked at the siblings, pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then also took out a card. With a slight cough, he said, “One hundred fifty thousand dollars on Ace Lin to win.” His 150 thousand was nothing compared to Kate’s 1.5 million. But he shrugged helplessly. He was just a butler. He couldn’t compete with Mrs. Davison and the CEO of the Lowe Group. Word got around fast that a few folks from Haldoria had dropped over the million on Ace Lin. Meanwhile, the staff escorted Kate and her crew respectfully to their seats in the stands. They snagged prime spots near the front, with a perfect view of the whole arena. Not only could they see the overall situation on the field, but there was also a huge screen showing Ace Lin and Hurricane’s race live. Suddenly, people around them looked at them with curiosity. Where did these Haldoria people come from, betting over three million right off the bat? And betting over three million on that unknown Lin to win–must be some seriously loaded fools!
Chapter 271 Arrogant? Krusada’s car yard occupied a large area, with grand and imposing architecture, just as the driver described it. It was a gathering place for racing enthusiasts, and there was even a dedicated race track inside. They were still outside the gate when they saw several racing cars speeding on the grounds inside, their engines roaring non–stop. “Let’s go inside and take a look.” Kate spoke decisively, then Hendrick and George got out of the car with her. Two bodyguards followed closely behind as all five entered the car yard. Kate’s gaze remained fixed on a red sports car not far away. “What are you here for? Looking for someone? Watching the race? Placing bets? Or participating?” As they stepped inside, they were stopped by the car yard security. The security guard who was burly and round, and spoke fluent Maridonia language, eyeing Kate and her companions up and down. The driver glanced at Kate and translated for her, “He’s saying… Before the driver could finish, Kate responded in fluent Maridonia language, “We’re here to find someone. Is the owner of the red sports car here in the car yard?” The security guard looked at her and replied, “Are you also fans of Ace Lin? Ace Lin just finished a race and is resting in the midfield now. But he has another race in the afternoon. You can come back then to watch. If you want to place bets, that’s over there. Kate was taken aback. “Ace Lin?” Seeing her bewildered expression, the security guard eyed her suspiciously, instantly on alert. “What’s going on? You’re not Ace Lin’s fan? Then why are you looking for him? His enemies?” “No, no. The driver hurriedly interjected, waving his hands. “We are fans of Ace Lin. We came to watch the race. Is the betting area this way?” The security guard looked at them skeptically again before coldly replying, “Yeah.” The driver whispered to Kate, “Madam, we’re new here. Let’s not attract attention to the car yard. It’s a mix of all sorts, not just racing enthusiasts…” Kate glanced deeply at the red sports car and said calmly. “Let’s go then, to see this so–called betting place.” After all, this was Krusada’s car yard, not something you’d find back in Haldoria. they walked along, Kate noticed a variety of people–some here to modify their race cars, others to watch the races, and some for the same purpose as them: betting. Inside the lobby, large screens displayed race information. Many people gathered around, chatting in small groups. 1/2 “This morning. Ace Lin’s performance was impressive–smooth and stylish. But this afternoon, he’ll be up against Hurricane, a top–notch international racer. I think Ace Lin might lose.” “Pfft! Just because he’s won a few races, he calls himself Ace Lin? He’s just some unknown racer from Haldoria. Does he really think he can challenge Hurricane?” “These Haldoria folks are too cocky. I heard this guy and Hurricane is hyping up their race. Coming to Krusada and daring to provoke Hurricane–Haldoria folks really don’t know what’s good for them.” “The people of Haldoria are all useless! Hahaha!” The murmurs of the crowd reached Kate and her group’s ears. Kate frowned, Hendrick’s face darkened, George’s eyes turned icy, and even the driver’s expression grew cold as he stared intently at the group discussing on the other side. Those people spoke in the local language of Krusada, but the driver, having spent many years there, naturally understood every word. He was about to say something when he saw Kate suddenly step forward, her expression chillingly determined. Without hesitation, she spoke in fluent Krusada’s local language. “You who only gossip and talk behind others‘ backs, what kind of people are you?” After Kate uttered these words, the laughter and mocking remarks from those gathered together, ridiculing Haldoria, abruptly ceased. Their smiles disappeared, replaced by displeasure as they all turned their gaze towards Kate.
