Chapter 260
A tattooed young man yanked open the door, which hadn’t been properly closed, and found only a middle–aged driver and a little girl pale with fright inside. He frowned.
In their line of work, there were rules and a code of honor–they didn’t mess with women or the elderly.
Muttering a curse, the tattooed guy shut the door and went off to deal with Alex and Dane.
Dane had taken a punch to the gut and was pinned against the car door, unable to move. Jack slapped his face, sneering, “You think you deserve an apology from me. You wanted to compete in the finals, right? I want to see you do that with a busted hand!”
Jack pulled a pocket knife from his coat, its cold blade reflecting his twisted grin. He viciously swung it towards Dane’s fingers. Right then, a Range Rover roared onto the scene, heading straight for Jack. Realizing the car about to hit him, Jack instinctively dodged to the side.
The car screeched to a halt in the middle of the road. The doors flew

with Connor, felt a
twinge in his hand at the sight of him.
“Flora, you’re here!”
Dane and Alex lit up at the sight of Flora, nearly moved to tears.
Flora had arrived!
“What are you waiting for? Get them!” Jack signaled to a group of thugs, who charged at Connor.
They had a rule not to hit women, so they completely ignored Flora standing by.
Connor didn’t even flinch as he watched them approach. His dark eyes swirled with a fierce intensity.
The thugs couldn’t see how Connor moved. By the time they came back to their senses, they were already sprawled on the ground, groaning in pain.
Jack felt a jolt of fear, realizing how formidable Connor was. He tried to flee, but Connor stepped closer.
Just one look from Connor, and Jack was paralyzed. His legs felt like they were filled with lead, unable to move an inch.
“We let you off once already. Why do you keep causing trouble?” Flora strode up to him, her eyes filled with impatience.
“He humiliated me! How can I just let that go?” Jack swallowed hard, shouting, “Go ahead and hit me! But I won’t let this go! You can’t protect Dane forever!”
“And what will it take to end this?” Flora thought of the incident with Hans. She hadn’t handled it well, leading to Dane and his family facing retaliation.
Jack’s eyes glinted, “There’s one way! Let Dane and me have a car race! If he wins, I’ll drop it all. I won’t bother him again, nor will I seek revenge!”
“Bullshit!” Alex roared, his eyes bulging with rage.
Everyone knew Jack had been racing since he was a kid. Dane used to race too, but that was years ago. How could he possibly beat Jack?
Racing was also dangerous. One wrong move and you’re dead. Jack was clearly out to kill Dane!
Flora rubbed her wrist. “Does it have to be Dane? How about I race you instead?” Her voice cut through the night, reaching everyone’s ears. There was a lazy edge to her tone, yet it was filled with fierce defiance.
