Chapter 306 Riding Hailey’s Car (1)

Every underground racer heard about ‘Duke’. They recognized the ‘Rose’ sign. Il one didn’t recognize it, the veterans would not call him ignorant. Instead, they would fanatically tell him her legends. There were lewer female racers, to begin with. One who dominated the ranking list was even rarer. They worshipped her like a goddess.

“It’s Duke!”

“Duke is back!”

“Duke, I didn’t expect to see you again. It’s been a long time.”

Different from the crazy crowd, two spectators whispered to each other. “I didn’t expect Hailey to be so cool.

She’s stylish.” Sofia commented, finding Hailey’s mask weird.

Brook gave her a handful of popcorn, responding while eating, “Get used to it. She’s swaggy. Her other brothers and I can’t beat her in that aspect.”

”

Sofia ate the popcorn and commented pertinently, “Showoff requires mental qualities and capability.

She’s truly fast.”

“Yep,” Brook echoed. “So, I came to the underground racing club as soon as I learned about her trip here. 1 don’t want to miss the fast and furious moment.”

Sofia looked forward to it and then asked wonderingly, “Why is she called ‘Duke’ here by the way?”

Brook chuckled and explained, “When I brought her here for the first time, she had just attended an event and had no time to change her costume. We came here for fun, but she put on a mask and slipped into the car. Then a new record was set, and she rose to fame. People don’t know her name and call her ‘Duke’ given her costume.”

“I see it now.” Sofia nodded and suddenly pictured Jared in a costume. He should look hot in it.

“Ha, you’re eating popcorn.” Hailey came back, saw that they were having a good time, and reminded them, “Don’t litter the garbage. It’s everyone’s responsibility to protect the environment.”

“I know, I have garbage bags with me.” Brook pulled out a plastic bag from his pocket. Sofia and he then threw the garbage in it.

Hailey said, “Brook, I’ll take Sofia for a ride first. Bet on my behalf. $100,000 will be fine.”

Sofia’s eyes widened. “Gambling?”

“Just for fun,” Hailey told her to relax. “It’s for charity and totally legit. Don’t worry about it.”

She then started the engine, and the car zoomed away.

In the ward, Owen received a message from a friend at the police station. “Eliza is on parole. Now she’s on the plane to Poya.”

His eyes dimmed, and he asked, “Who bailed her out?”

The man on the other end of the phone lowered his voice, “The police chiet came in person and released her based on a lack of evidence. I protested, but he told me that it was the order of a higher-up.”

Owen’s brows were knitted together. He asked sternly, “Who is the higher-up?”

“He wouldn’t reveal it, but I had someone stalk Eliza. After her release, she was sent straight to the plane and picked up by a director. Think about it.”

Owen’s deep eyes narrowed, and his lips were pursed into a thin line. Lucas added, “I’ve checked her flight and tound it’s bound for Poya Airport I’ve also found that joe is in Poya now “Joe is in Poya?” Owen’s lace changed again. The result of his investigation showed that Joe was at the docks of Smoke City, ready for extradition.

“It should be a smokescreen. I just found out this afternoon,” Lucas said. “Think about it, Joe is coming after Hailey. How can he possibly run away without attaining his goal? Are you with Hailey? Remind her to be careful.”

Owen’s heart was in his throat. He immediately used Benson’s account to make a call, but Hailey didn’t answer the phone. He got off the bed, calling Sofia while changing his clothes After a while, the line got through “Are you with Hailey now?” he asked.

“Yeah, we are… barf.” Sofia bent over on the side of the track and threw up. “You know what? Hailey, she is inhumane.”

Owen heard noises in the background and further furrowed his brows “Are you in a bar? Which one?”

He buttoned up his clothes, put on his hat, and hurried out of the ward. There was no response He only heard intermittent puking and gasping While he was on tenterhooks, a cool voice was heard “Seriously? Miss Kent, you’re an elite soldier, and you get carsick?”

Carsick? Owen stopped in his tracks.

Sofia protested, “I don’t usually get car sick, but you drove too last. We used to race in off road vehicles when we were in the army, but there weren’t so many techniques.”

Racing? Owen started walking again and asked Jose to locate the underground race track as soon as possible. Hailey laughed, “As I said, it’s recreational Fancy racing is about styles, and speed will be next. Would you like to go for another ride?”

“No, I need to stay alive.” Sotia waved her hand, refusing to get into the car again Brook said, “It’s my turn. I’ll be your navigator!”
