Chapter 56 - Farewell (1/2)

The crowd went silent, not a single sound as the commentator makes a signal to stop the race immediately. No one dared to question the emperor as he went on his way in haste.

"RECOVER ALL THE PARTICIPANT'S CAR! ESPECIALLY THE BLUE ONE!" the whole stadium still in shock as Logan commanded, helicopters started to circle in the air, quick to take action on the emperor's request.

Everyone started to follow him.

"What's gotten to Logan?' Dominick whispered to Grayson as they too went up to the helicopter.

Grayson just shook his head, he doesn't know either although he knows who is the one maneuvering the blue race car, it is the only person who defeated him.

"Eve..." the sweet word escaped Grayson lips, such an enchanting name but he never saw whose behind the helmet.

It could've been a great match if only Logan did not interfere, Grayson knew that 'Eve' will win, but maybe this time it went overboard. The players are more aggressive and bloodthirst, they are not playing for fun rather for survival.

"Stop blabbing and let's go!" Hannibal said also getting on his helicopter.

Logan is the first one to arrive at the mountain where Celestia's car is stuck, immediately went down the helicopter with the empire's flag on it.

From above, he can see that the other half of the car is already in a brink of falling down, one wrong move and the whole car will follow on the end of the cliff.

His heart rampant as his face is filled with fear and frustration, a feeling he never knew he can have until this day.

The woman is in his arms just this morning! How did she get here?!

Dang it! He should've been more careful when talking to her, he didn't know that she can be this reckless!

He slowly approaches the car that seems to be tilting depending on the wind. The front almost falling down, his mind in chaos but he tries to remain rationale.

Can he take the risk? Can he get Celestia by the time the car can't hold on any longer?

He shoves off the negative thought, that's the last thing he needs right now.

Calculating the minutes he has after opening the door, Logan is good to go.

Celestia on the other hand. is having a hard time, her knees bleeding from the impact but she needs to get out however she can't leave Yanyan's car, this is her best friend's favorite.

She could've won if only that red car user did not play dirty!

She groans in pain as she tries to move her knees, her heart now in a panic, stupid race! It's not been a while since she's been reunited with her love and now this?!

Her luck is really something.

The car's passenger door abruptly opened, making some pieces of rock crumble beneath.
