Chapter 125: Caught by Traffic Police
The Buick had begun to shake as it reached this speed. It seemed as though it would fall apart at any moment, and Emily Lopez was getting nervous. But seeing the focused look on James Brown’s face, she swallowed back the words that had reached her lips. She suddenly had an inexplicable faith in her brother-in-law and believed that he would keep his word, that he wouldn’t let the slightest thing go wrong.
"Damn! Street racing?" A Camry was cruising steadily at eighty kilometers per hour when a Buick, a Ferrari, and a Porsche roared past it, prompting the Camry’s driver to blurt out a curse.
"Geez, what are they playing at? Is that a Buick in front? Can even that car be used for racing?" That was another question that arose in the mind of the Camry driver.
He wasn’t the only one with this question on his mind. Every driver that had been overtaken held similar thoughts, and they all looked down upon such reckless speeding. It was way too dangerous. They didn’t care if the racers met with accidents, but if they collided with another vehicle, then the innocent drivers would be in trouble too.
Ultimately, James Brown’s car was simply no match for Thomas Johnson’s in terms of performance. After racing for over a dozen kilometers, the Porsche and the Ferrari closed in on him, with less than ten meters separating them.
"Damn it, I’ll show you how to run! I’ll catch up with you!" Thomas Johnson’s eyes lit up with excitement. He was determined to catch up with James.
But suddenly, the Buick swerved left, then right again, slowing down abruptly, making Thomas’s car nearly crash into James’s.
Thomas quickly hit the brakes. Although he wouldn’t mind seeing James dead, at this speed, if he crashed into James’s car, it wouldn’t just be the Buick that’d be in trouble. His own car wouldn’t be spared either, and naturally, neither would he.
In the sudden braking, Thomas’s car almost lost control. Fortunately, the Ferrari’s performance was more than up to the task, preventing him from veering into the opposite lane.
After that, James stopped trying to outrun them. He maintained a speed of around 150 to 160 kilometers per hour, swerving left and right to block their cars, refusing to let them overtake. No matter if it was the Ferrari or the Porsche, no matter how they tried to overtake James, his car kept cutting them off.
This frustrated Thomas to no end. Although they had considerably slowed down, they still didn’t dare to risk a collision at such speeds. A crash would result in catastrophic consequences, and they weren’t quite ready to risk their lives in a fight against James.
