Chapter 2096 — A Minor Accident
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
After the big curves on the mountain road came a straight stretch, and on this surface Zhao Qibing could once again unleash his advantage and accelerate without limit! So, at the very instant Wei Zhao was about to catch him, Zhao Qibing accelerated again and left Wei Zhao far behind!
"Wah ha ha ha!" Zhao Qibing laughed in smug triumph. Since he had first met Wei Zhao, this was the first time he had ever made Wei Zhao eat dirt, and it delighted him immensely. Before, it had always been he who came off worse before Wei Zhao—but this time, he had pulled off a complete reversal.
Wei Zhao, for his part, was neither irritated nor angry, nor the least bit agitated. He only watched calmly as Zhao Qibing accelerated once more and left him far behind...
In terms of driving skill, Wei Zhao was beyond reproach, with no weakness whatsoever. But in terms of the car, he was far outmatched. Even with his heaven-defying technique, drifting constantly through the corners, he could at best only match Zhao Qibing—because Zhao Qibing's car was simply too good, capable of obliterating Wei Zhao in an instant on the straightaways.
"If you had raced honestly, it would have been fine, but since you want to play crooked games with me, do not blame me for being impolite!" Wei Zhao shook his head and said mildly.
Having calculated that no amount of maneuvering would let him defeat Zhao Qibing, Wei Zhao no longer intended to keep playing by the rules with him. Since Zhao Qibing had broken the rules first, he could not blame Wei Zhao for dispensing with courtesy!
Wei Zhao drove on, still calm and composed, but his right hand had already secretly begun condensing a true-qi bomb. It had been a long time since Wei Zhao had used this trump card against anyone. Little did he expect that when he used it again, it would be on Zhao Qibing!
Of course, Wei Zhao did not intend to kill Zhao Qibing. The rules of the race forbade lethal combat between drivers, and if he caused too big a stir, it would inevitably draw suspicion and bring trouble down upon himself. After all, several Heaven-rank experts were here presiding over the event, and Wei Zhao was not so arrogant as to think himself above everyone.
But to manufacture a little "accident" in such a way that no one could find proof—that would pose no problem at all.
So after condensing a very small true-qi bomb, Wei Zhao stopped and focused on driving, waiting for the next corner to come.
At last, after a stretch of straight road, the curve arrived once more! This mountain road was built in a most peculiar way—some parts wound around the mountain, some passed through its belly, some climbed on a diagonal slope—as though it had been designed specifically as a racetrack!
In Wei Zhao's estimation, this place was likely an underground racing circuit in ordinary times as well. Otherwise, if it were only for the annual Hidden Families Summit, the Hidden Zhao Family would never have poured so much money into building this track—and besides, the summit was not necessarily held at the Hidden Zhao Family's grounds every year!
Most likely, this was a secret money-making venture for the Hidden Zhao Family. The hidden families could not openly do business in the light of day, but conducting some business in the shadows, so long as it escaped the notice of the Hidden Families Arbitration Association, was no problem at all.
Moreover, the so-called Hidden Families Arbitration Association now existed in name only. The several enforcement elders were all patriarchs of their respective families, so the Hidden Zhao Family naturally had nothing to fear. (To be continued.
