n the van, the man who was driving the day before was sitting in the back
and kept bragging to Aaron, “The person I hired is the underground racing
king, Aaron. He has never lost a race before, so don’t worry.”
Aaron had heard of the racing king, who lived out of town, but very
well–known in Silverton, due to his excellent driving skills. In the
underground racing, most people made sinister modifications to their cars. They were to win by any means necessary. Thus, it was common for injuries t
occur whenever a crash happened.
Aaron hurriedly strapped himself in and tightly held onto the grab handle. “Good! No matter what happens today, we cannot let Claire get away again. After them, King! You’re my man as long as no one dies!”
With a cigarette in his mouth, King disdainfully glanced at Aaron. “It’s just a girl. Is that even necessary? Just wait. I’ll have her trapped in an alleyway soon enough. You can do whatever you want with her then.”
They did not dare act when the studio’s entrance was still within view, so they had to wait until Claire left before they could stop her.
Aaron’s face was red with excitement. When he accepted the mission, his father said he could do anything he wanted as long as Claire remained alive.
When they were children, he loved teasing Claire during visits to the Donovan She was so soft and innocent that he had long since wanted to take a bite out of her.

Aaron’s face was red with excitement. When he accepted the mission, his father said he could do anything he wanted as long as Claire remained alive.
When they were children, he loved teasing Claire during visits to the Donovan: She was so soft and innocent that he had long since wanted to take a bite out of her. However, he was still a young boy back then. When he finally grev up and had undergone puberty, Claire had moved into the university dorms.
He had always thought Claire studied as if her life depended on it, to be accepted into a university at 15 and live in the campus dorms, all because she was avoiding him.
The mere thought of Claire crying under his body chased away all fear from his mind. He rubbed his hands while his lips spread in a perverted grin. “Enough with the chatter. After her! Once we catch her, I guarantee you can all have a taste of her.”
The other men in the car all cheered in excitement. They craned their necks as they locked their eyes on Claire’s car.
As usual, Claire was resting her left elbow on the car window to rest her face on her left hand while her right hand controlled the steering wheel. When she glanced at the van through the rearview mirror, she noticed that today’s driver was much more skilled than before. With a raised eyebrow, she commented, “Yoo–hoo! Did they change driver?”
Although she knew the driver chasing her was a skilled driver, she continued to drive with only one hand.
When they entered the highway that they were on the other day, the excitemen in the van grew. “King, be careful. That girl shook us off here the other day. Stay close to her.”

“What’s the panic?” King scornfully scoffed. “It was evening back then when there weren’t many cars on the road. It is the morning peak hour right now. She would not dare speed through the traffic with that many cars around.”
Before he finished speaking, Claire’s car suddenly sped up with a loud “whoosh to overtake the cars ahead of her. King’s jaw dropped in shock. The lit cigarette fell out of his mouth.
As it was a hot day, he was wearing a pair of shorts. Hence, the lit cigarette fell right on his pale skin. “Ouch! Darn it!”
Aaron hissed in sympathy. It felt painful even if he was not the one being
burned.
He bent over to quickly help snuff out the cigarette as he anxiously said, “I told you not to underestimate her. Hurry up, King. It’s time you show us your
true skills.”
Without hesitation, King tightly gripped the steering wheel as a serious flash entered his eyes.
As he abruptly spun the steering wheel, the van shot forward and overtook the car ahead of it.
Aaron pointed to the lane next to them. “She’s over there!”
King raised his eyebrows and switched into the next lane with a turn of the steering wheel, forcing the car they had just cut off to slam on the brakes.
When Claire saw that they had caught up to her, her red lips curved into a satisfied smile. “Now, this is interesting.”

Her eyes remained locked on the road ahead, occasionally glancing at the rearview mirror while she casually drove with only her right hand.
“Shoot! She has gone to the next lane, again!”
“Stop yakking! I know!”
King impatiently roared. Claire’s driving had ignited his desire to win.
The highway consisted of eight lanes. From above, one could see two cars constantly weaving back and forth as fast as lightning between four of those
lanes.
As they approached an intersection, the traffic light turned from green to yellow. Claire was on the second lane and the car on the third lane was already slowing down for the red light. Suddenly, she spun the steering wheel and took advantage of the gap created to overtake the car previously ahead of her to speed through the intersection while the red was still yellow.
The drivers of the car being overtaken and the car on the third lane both
cried out in shock, “Crap! Why speed up now? Do they want to die?”
Just as they finished cursing her out, they were surprised by a van frantically brushing past them. The screech of metal scraping against each other made them go pale in anger when a loud bang echoed through the air. The van had sped past them to crash into a sedan driving from the left.
The sedan was sent flying from the impact while the cars behind the van were unable to stop in time and crashed into each other in a chain reaction
accident.

While Aaron had a seatbelt on, he was still covered in blood and his legs
were broken.
As he gasped for breath, he turned to look at King, who was equally as injured and slapped King with a trembling hand. “How are you a racing king? Are you blind? Didn’t you see the red light? You don’t even know basic road rules. How can you call yourself a king? I could kill you for this!”
When Claire saw the van crash through her rearview mirror, she blinked and innocently commented, “How hard were you chasing me? If a man pursued me with that much fervor, I would have agreed to his proposal.”
After all, a raging fire fears a persistent man!
Hahaha!
Suddenly, Julia’s eyes snapped open, and she sat up straight. “Who’s pursuing you? Is it Great– Grandpa?”
Claire rolled her eyes in exasperation. “No. You have it wrong. Well, you woke up just in time. Don’t go back to sleep. We’re almost home.”
“Oh.” Julia yawned and stretched. “Say, Claire, why hasn’t Great–Grandpa asked you out lately?”
Claire turned the car into the parking lot. “Why would he ask for me for no Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
reason?”
“Come on, Claire. Anyone with eyes can tell that Great–Grandpa likes you, okay?”
