Chapter 203: Chapter 203: Race Against Life and Death, Heart-Pounding Thrills

As the referee’s starting gun fired, Young Master Shelby couldn’t wait to step on the gas, and in an instant, the roaring engine was deafening!

He quickly left behind the black Porsche 911 that Adrian Law had borrowed.

Adrian’s start was also swift, but whether he wasn’t giving his all or was off his game, he fell behind by almost two car lengths within a few seconds of starting.

The spectators, watching the real-time broadcast screen, immediately expressed their astonishment at the starting gap between the two.

"Having the first mover’s advantage is great, they just started and already it’s such a lead, looks like Young Master Shelby is going to win!"

"They’re about to enter the tunnel, where the roads are narrow, and there’s absolutely no chance to overtake. The Eldest Young Master Law surely feels powerless; I’m rooting for Young Master Shelby!"

"Exactly, The Eldest Young Master Law, what’s with the arrogance? He’s unfamiliar with the track, the car’s performance isn’t as good, and he’s driving from behind, surely going to lose!"

Thinking about how Young Master Shelby had even bound and gagged Katherine North earlier to ensure victory, in stark contrast, Adrian seemed too "gentlemanly." What if Cecilia gets scared and screams?

Such a distraction!

...

Young Master Shelby was clearly racing for his life to protect his eyes; he naturally loved car racing and was familiar with this section of the road, almost driving skillfully forward.

Just as they were about to reach the tunnel, Young Master Shelby couldn’t resist glancing at where Adrian’s black Porsche was in his rearview mirror, and sure enough, it was quite far behind.

The rest ahead is either narrow, dark tunnels or numerous winding roads, making overtaking increasingly difficult. I’m bound to win!

"What’s with the arrogance? In the race, they let me have the lead. Do they really think they’re some car god? So what if they’re the rightful heir of The Law Group, in the end, they’ll still lose to me!"

Young Master Shelby basked in smugness for a while, refusing to ease off the gas and drove even faster.

He didn’t believe for a second that under such a great advantage, Adrian could make a comeback!

Defeating Adrian in front of everyone, Young Master Shelby’s mouth curled with endless pride; he could almost imagine the scene of him humiliating Adrian!

...

Before long, Young Master Shelby steered into an extremely narrow tunnel in the Mount Nocturne District.

The lighting here was poor, with some parts even missing streetlamps, and the road sections were twisty and winding, so for safety’s sake, Young Master Shelby had to slow down.

Almost simultaneously as he reduced his speed, Young Master Shelby heard the screeching sound of wheels closely following behind.

"Damn! I’m not a criminal, stop tailing me so closely!"

Young Master Shelby cursed inwardly, tightly controlling the steering wheel, though his expression was utterly contemptuous, not worried that Adrian would overtake him.

This was the famous narrow tunnel where there was simply no room for overtaking. As long as he kept firmly in front, the car behind wouldn’t get past him unless it sprouted wings!

The lighting inside the tunnel was so poor that Cecilia Vaughn kept her mouth shut the entire way, afraid of affecting Adrian’s performance, but at this moment, she couldn’t help but glance at the man beside her.

In the pitch blackness, Adrian seemed to sense her gaze.

He parted his thin lips slightly, his tone carrying a subtle reassurance.

"Cecilia, it’s very dark here, but I’m here, so don’t worry."

"..."

Cecilia was embarrassed; she wasn’t a three-year-old afraid of the dark.

"Hmm, I’m not scared, just focus on driving, no need to worry about me."

The car race most tests a person’s focus and patience. One misstep could lead to total defeat or even endanger lives.

She didn’t want Adrian to be distracted by concerns for her.

She lowered her gaze, her hands quietly resting in her sleeves, trying to maintain calm breathing.

At this moment, she couldn’t assist Adrian with anything, but not being a burden was her biggest help.

Now that obstructive Young Master Shelby was blocking them entirely in front, and it was said that once out of the tunnel would be a series of bends, weaving through rugged mountains, both steep and risky, making overtaking further challenging.

She could tell Adrian wasn’t giving his all yet. He was always confident in handling everything, and even if the sky fell, Cecilia felt inexplicably assured as long as Adrian was by her side.

In some sense, love is a kind of blind faith, but Cecilia was unafraid.

...

The race was already in full swing.

The two finally drove out of the dimly lit tunnel, with Adrian’s black Porsche 911 chasing closely behind Young Master Shelby, practically nipping at his tail.

Young Master Shelby glared fiercely at the car in his rearview mirror, his lips curling into a sinister smile.

"Up ahead is all winding roads; it’s a miracle just not to crash. Still want to beat me? Daydreaming!"

Young Master Shelby, thinking victory was within reach, instantly accelerated excitedly, almost eager to announce to the world that he was about to crush the rightful heir of The Law Group underfoot!

...

As the race neared its end, Tyson Law watched the live broadcast panel at the starting point, his expression solemn.

Who would have the last laugh?

He couldn’t help but glance at Sean Grant, who was chosen to be the referee.

He had heard others talk about this vampire-like young man before. He looked pale and weak but had undeniable racing skills, being last month’s champion.

"Junior Grant, who do you think will reach the finish line first?"

"Isn’t that obvious?"

Sean Grant cast an eye of pity at Tyson, a gaze one would give an idiot, making Tyson feel more uncomfortable.

And a few people nearby were self-satisfied.

"Young Master Shelby is sure to win; The Eldest Young Master Law is too arrogant, this isn’t the way to give leeway in a race!"

"Being unfamiliar with the terrain aside, why show modesty in a race? Young Master Shelby is a sure bet to win, while The Eldest Young Master Law will definitely lose to his own arrogance!"

...

Just when all the spectators present were convinced Adrian would lose, the two tightly following Porsches drove into the winding road section.

The first few turns were fine, but they were nearing an almost 90-degree sharp bend. Young Master Shelby didn’t dare be careless and hurriedly reduced his speed.

However, almost in the next second, he heard the revving roar of the Porsche accelerating from behind.

Whoosh—

The intense screech of tires passed his ears, followed by a gust of wind as the black Porsche 911 raced past like a phantom, overtaking him in an instant!

Young Master Shelby was dumbfounded, almost losing control of the steering wheel!

"Crazy? Accelerating here?"

The spectators watching the live broadcast turned pale in shock!

"Oh my God, has The Eldest Young Master Law gone mad, wanting to win at all costs? Does he not care about his life?"

"No way, can’t he see there’s a sharp curve ahead? This speed will definitely send him off the cliff!"

Yet what occurred in the next moment left everyone astounded—
