Chapter 890 Leo’s Awake and Heartbreak
The blonde racer blinked, stunned as he saw her steering with one hand. "Fuck! She’s insane!" he muttered, losing focus for a split second.
It was enough.
The second-place driver seized the moment, overtook him on the inside, and pushed the blonde racer down to third place.
Then the race turned into a fierce showdown between Hera and the second-place driver as they approached the inner lane of the next curve. The second-place racer wasn’t going down without a fight; he had a trick up his sleeve. Instead of braking and drifting like most would on a sharp turn, he attempted to emulate Phantom’s signature triangular curve turn—a dangerous move that required surgical precision.
But that technique wasn’t something just anyone could pull off.
Hera, having invented the maneuver herself, recognized his intent the moment he initiated the first step. She could already tell he was off by a fraction, his tires skidded, and his car was about to slam into the guardrail. Reacting fast, Hera drifted into the curve and tapped the side of his car just in time, redirecting his front end to keep it from crashing. It was a risky assist, but it prevented what could’ve been an ugly accident.
However, that interference cost Hera precious speed.
The blonde racer, who had been close behind, saw the opportunity and surged forward, overtaking both Hera and the third-place driver. Still, Hera wasn’t far off; she hit the accelerator, her car roaring right behind him. The blonde racer, sensing the pressure, began blocking her at every turn, cutting her off, swerving aggressively.
Hera had had enough.
If he could harass her, then he’d better be ready for payback.
So she began bumping his rear, repeatedly tapping his bumper just enough to rattle his focus. Her fans watching online burst into laughter. He was getting exactly what he deserved. Flustered and panicked, the blonde racer finally slipped, lost control for a moment, and his car spiraled out of alignment. He narrowly avoided a crash, but it sent him tumbling down to sixth place before he could recover.
