Chapter 750 Believe in Yourself!
"What, teach us a lesson?"
"I must be hearing things, Huang Shi teaching us a lesson, what a joke!"
"Who is that young man inside there?"
"Huang Shi, the well-known young master of Tianhai, has a boss?"
"Is this real or fake, how could Huang Shi possibly have a boss?"
...
When Zhang Xing and his people heard the conversation between Lin Feng and Huang Shi, they all found it hilarious. They thought this guy was really something, asking Huang Shi to teach them a lesson with a racing car—it was an absurd joke. Any one of their cars was far beyond what that broken A7 could compare with, and even if Huang Shi’s racing skills were really impressive, if the car couldn’t keep up with theirs, it was all useless!
They had no idea what was going through this young man’s head, how he could say such a thing. It was utterly preposterous. Who did he think he was, daring to speak to them like that? He clearly didn’t know how over his head he was. These were some of the top street racers in Tianhai—apart from professional drivers, there were few who could compare to them. Wasn’t this the biggest joke ever!
But when they heard what Huang Shi said afterward, they were all utterly baffled—none of them could believe it was true. Huang Shi was the famous young master of Tianhai; who didn’t know his temper? Given Huang Shi’s proud nature, among the young masters of Tianhai, no one could make him behave like this. So... who was this young man after all? Everyone’s heart was filled with curiosity about the identity of the young man in the car, all guessing who he could be.
"How about I race with you guys once, but if we’re betting on cars, there’s got to be some stakes. How about this—I’ll be the bank, and I’ll give two to one odds. As long as one of you beats me, no matter how much you bet, I’ll take it," said Huang Shi simply. Since he had already decided to teach these people a lesson, there was no need to be polite. With that in mind, Huang Shi straightforwardly laid out the terms, wanting them to bet big, to bleed them dry just this once.
"Young Master Huang sure is Young Master Huang, such audacity is really not common. Alright, since you’ve put it like that, I won’t be polite. I’ll bet eighty million!" Zhang Xing almost passed out laughing upon hearing Huang Shi’s proposal. In his eyes, it was a sure win, and Huang Shi dared to put forth such a big wager. He was really asking for it. With such a great opportunity, it would be a shame not to bet big.
With Huang Shi’s crummy A7, how could it possibly compare to their cars? Plus, Huang Shi had already said that if just one car beat him, it meant he lost. Wasn’t this blatant arrogance? To put it harshly, after they blocked off the road later, even if Huang Shi had the greatest ability, there was no way he could beat them—it was clearly handing them money. What happened to Huang Shi today, was his brain not working? Otherwise, how could he propose such terms? It’s madness!
So he didn’t hesitate to bet eighty million. In his view, today’s race was a hundred percent win; to Zhang Xing, the amount of the bet was not an issue since it was a sure win anyway. The bet size was trivial, so he casually named a figure, also secretly rejoicing, thinking about having one hundred and sixty million soon and where he should celebrate that evening...
"I’ll bet fifty million!"
"I’ll bet forty million!"
"I’ll bet forty million!"
...
Zhang Xing’s companions, upon hearing Huang Shi’s words, were also overjoyed, quickly shouting out amounts. They shared the same thought as Zhang Xing—that Huang Shi had gone mad today, clearly delivering money to them. How could this group possibly not beat Huang Shi? Apart from their cars being faster, once they blocked off the road later, victory was assured. So, they weren’t worried about losing money at all. In their eyes, this car bet was a sure win; losing was out of the question.
"Alright, I’ll take all bets. Let’s go to the usual spot nearby, it’s closer from here. There are more cars outside at this time anyway, and that place is better," Huang Shi responded to Zhang Xing and the others, not concerned about the stakes they proposed, merely choosing a location. This time was similar to when he first saw the Boss. Although he couldn’t be as formidable as the Boss, Huang Shi was still very confident. Under these circumstances, winning against these people was not a problem for him.
"Alright, it’s settled! Let’s go, we’ll talk there." Zhang Xing didn’t hesitate for a moment and directly agreed. Mentioning that old place made Zhang Xing happy, because that place was where they often raced. He knew it so well that he could drive with his eyes closed. When Huang Shi suggested this place, wasn’t it a sure loss for them? Where else could he find such a good deal?
Zhang Xing and his group immediately drove to their old racing spot, and Huang Shi got back in his car, following the convoy to that immensely familiar place.
Before long, everyone arrived at Tianhai’s most famous underground racing track. This time, they all stopped right at the starting line. Zhang Xing and his team didn’t show any courtesy and blocked the whole starting area with their cars, clearly intending to prevent Huang Shi from starting off well.
"Young Master Huang, when do we start?" Zhang Xing stuck his head out of the car and shouted to Huang Shi. Despite it being a car race and their desire to not let Huang Shi win, they still had to follow the etiquette. He didn’t want to lose face, and under such advantageous circumstances, of course, he had to ask if Huang Shi was ready.
"Let’s start," Huang Shi said upon hearing Zhang Xing’s words, without adding anything else. It was normal for these people to block the road in front, but it didn’t matter much to him. Having seen Boss drive, Huang Shi was quite confident he could handle the current situation.
"Then I won’t hold back, let’s go!" Zhang Xing was overjoyed when he heard Huang Shi say this. He had thought Huang Shi would want to start in the front, but Huang Shi didn’t mind being in the back and said so casually to start. How could Zhang Xing refuse such a perfect opportunity? With that thought, he immediately shouted, slammed on the accelerator, and his car shot out like Lightning, while Zhang Xing couldn’t help being thrilled inside. Under these circumstances, wasn’t Huang Shi sure to lose?
Zhang Xing was very clear about Huang Shi’s driving skills. In such a situation, Huang Shi couldn’t possibly have a way to turn the tables. As long as their group started first, and then intentionally hindered Huang Shi on the road, there was no way he could surpass them. Moreover, the distance wasn’t long, less than fifty kilometers. In such a short time, even a "car god" couldn’t make a difference.
Seeing Zhang Xing rushing out from the starting line, the others who came with him also floored the throttle. Smoke swirled around the road as all of the supercars charged forward.
"Keep your cool, watch out – you need to conquer the car, not let the car conquer you. Believe in yourself." Lin Feng said calmly, giving Huang Shi a nod. Lin Feng wasn’t worried at all about Huang Shi winning against these guys; he just wanted Huang Shi to learn from the experience.
"Understood, Boss," Huang Shi smiled back at Lin Feng, then fastened his seatbelt. He was not the Boss; the Boss didn’t need a seatbelt. But he did. Securing the seatbelt wasn’t about safety for him but to stabilize his body against the strong centrifugal force that could throw him off.
After getting ready, Huang Shi smiled and then stepped on the gas. The black A7 shot out like Lightning, disappearing from the spot, and in that moment, Huang Shi seemed to merge with the car, accelerating with harmonious movements. The numbers on the dashboard kept jumping up, and within seconds, the speed of the car had already exceeded 200 kilometers an hour...
Zhang Xing and the others had surged from the starting line, constantly increasing their speed. Glancing at the rearview mirror and not seeing Huang Shi catching up, they breathed a sigh of relief, thinking Huang Shi’s speed was too weak. With such a pace, winning against them was pure fantasy!
Just as they thought this, before they could even react, they saw a black flash of Lightning dart past them. It startled the last guy so much that he nearly drove into a ditch. He hastily stopped the car and only then did he realize, as he saw the red taillights of the black Lightning that it was Huang Shi’s car that had passed!
How... how is that possible!
The man was stunned by Huang Shi’s speed. His own speed was nearing 200 kilometers an hour, and before he could react, Huang Shi had overtaken him. Huang Shi’s speed must be close to 300 kilometers an hour if nothing was amiss. How could that be possible? There were so many curves on this road. If he drove at such speed, wouldn’t he have crashed already!
But the red taillights ahead disappeared in a blink, leaving him with no choice but to believe it. He was completely astounded by Huang Shi’s actions, unable to comprehend how Huang Shi could race at such high speed. This was beyond what an A7 could achieve. It was just too exaggerated!
Even if Huang Shi wanted to win the race, there was no need to go this far. This wasn’t racing; it was a matter of life and death. At such speeds, no one can handle the car – had Huang Shi lost his mind? Otherwise, how could he possibly drive like this...
After being stunned for a moment, he regained his senses. He had to inform the others about the current situation right away, or they really might lose today!
