Chapter 144
The crowd was buzzing with excitement.
- fans shouting and cheering for their idols as the opening ceremony hit its peak.
Compared to the warm welcome for the other countries racers, Zoe’s team looked especially lonely–no one paid them any attention, as if the whole event had forgotten they even existed.
The Clusia racers were annoyed by this.
“Fox is from Clusia, right? How can they just ignore us like this?”
“Exactly! If Fox showed up, we’d be the stars of the whole place.”
“Too bad Fox never appears at these ceremonies. All we know is Fox is from Clusia
At that moment, Henry spoke up. “Prove yourselves on the track. Winning with your own skills is way better than hoping Fox will show up and win glory for us.”
He added. “And let me remind you–Zoe is
is the key to us getting a good result this time. You all need to protect her. Don’t give anyone a chance to pull any dirty trick”
We will
Zoe couldn’t care less.
She just glanced around calmly, as relaxed as if she were out sightseeing, completely unfazed by the pre–race nerves that gripped the other racers.
“Damn it, why are those foreign racers heading our way?” muttered one of the Clusia racers standing next to Zoe, his brow furrowing as a wave
4 a wave of unease hit him.
It was obvious nothing good would come of this, the foreign racers approaching the Clusia team were clearly looking for trouble, and even Henry grew visibly tense.
Racing goddess Diana, the ageless legend Job, Brady Kane, and other top racers from different countries all strode over.
“I heard you brought a tough little girl this year, claiming she’s going to take first place,” Brady said, his eight–pack abs on full display.
He spoke with an arrogant swagger that instantly set everyone’s teeth on edge.
As team leader, Henry quickly stepped forward to shield his teammates. “The race is about to start, Brady. Are you here to stir up trouble!”
Brady, built like a tank, made Henry look almost comically small in comparison
With a grunt, Brady reached out his massive hand and shoved Henry aside, then fixed his gaze on Zor,
Zoe stood there, one hand holding her helmet, her posture proud and unbothered. Even in her racing suit, her figure looked strikingly beautiful.
Ever standing Lefore a giant like Brady, Zoe didn’t flinch. She might look petite, but her presence was anything but weak.
Her calm and composure actually made Brady pause for a moment. He narrowed his eyes and steered, “She’s got more guts than the rest of you. No wonder you had to send a girl. What a joke”
He added, “How are you planting to get eliminated by me today? Maybe I’ll send you packing in the very first lap”
The insults ne hand. As soon as Brady Bnished, laughter exploded around them.
“Clusiu meront, just get lost This in your playground–benter watch yourselves, or you might not nuke it out in one piece

Thelp you place higher! She should get fucked.”
The jren gut even louder. A bunch of racers started shaking their hips and making lewd gestures at Zoe. The whole place erupted with laughter
While Zuca face darkened
She used to show up at international races alone, never taking the official entrance, leaving no trace beland. But now, all these people mocking her and Clusa–they all deserved to pay
Just as Zor was about to speak, someone suddenly shouted, “Hey, look over there. It’s Daniel! He’s brought a massive team with him. Looks like he’s dead set on wouting the championship this time.”

“Hey, Diana, you look gorgeous as always. Brady, still as ripped as ever.” Daniel greeted Diana and Brady like they were old friends.

Taaniel had expected her to be scared–after all, she was just a woman. But when he didn’t see the fear he was hoping for on Zoe’s face, he looked a Ime disappointed

Once Daniel left, the other racers also started to clear out. Only Diana paused at the door, glanced back at Zoe, and said, “Good luck.
