“That’s the gist of it,” Bonnie added
As expected, Ivor did not ask any more follow–up questions. Meanwhile, Floyd walked over and told Ivor, “Yosef ran into some trouble, sir.”
“Yosef? Is that the racer the Knights hired?” She asked.
“Mhm, I’ll check on him first.” Ivor opened the car door and got out.
“Wait for me, Mr. Ivor.”
Xavier, who was standing nearby, was puzzled as he looked at them. “That’s weird. Ivor just came out of Windbreaker’s car.”
Gibren also noticed it, saying, “Ivor’s probably trying to poach her.”
“That’s possible.” Xavier nodded in approval. “From the looks of it, he failed.”
“Hamish works for Tang Fusion Studios. The company was founded recently, but it’s still pretty formidable. To this day, we still haven’t found out who the actual owner is.
“That alone proves there’s more than meets the eye regarding Tang Fusion Studios. If Ivor is counting on poaching Windbreaker, he’ll have a hard time doing it.” Gibren voiced his analysis.
“You make some fine points. If it were that easy, I would’ve poached Windbreaker myself.
“You would’ve had better luck if you did it much earlier. You almost got Windbreaker killed in the previous race. It doesn’t matter how much money or benefits you offer her. I just don’t think you’ll succeed.” Gibren grew solemn.

Xavier looked at Bonnie’s car menacingly and said, “If I can’t have her, no one will.”
Gibren glanced sidelong at Xavier. “Are you going to ask Vulture to do it?”
Xavier smirked. “You’ve always called me Hades incarnate, right? Well, if Hades wants someone to go to the underworld, then there’s no escaping his call.”
“You say that, but…” Gibren grew worried. “…It looks like Hamish cares a lot about Windbreaker. From what I see, they’re extremely close. You’re in for big trouble if they turn out to be a couple.”
“You’re overanalyzing it. I know Hamish treats Windbreaker well, but that’s far from being a couple. Even if they are, I won’t be responsible for Vulture’s actions, assuming he messes it up. Do you honestly think Hamish will go against me for a racer?” Xavier was confident.
He then turned and looked into the crowd. Although countless people had come to watch the race, managed to track down a tall and burly man who had been staring at him.
he
“Huh? Do you think that man looks familiar?”
“Who are you talking about?” Gibren followed Xavier’s gaze and looked at the six–foot–tall man.”
“He

does look familiar.”
“Aha!” Xavier finally recognized the man. “That’s Jim Ryan!”
“You’re right. That is him!” Gibren was genuinely surprised, too.
“Come on, let’s greet him.”
Soon after, Xavier approached Jim and smiled before extending his hand. “Fancy bumping into you here, Master Jim. What are the chances?”
Jim glanced at Xavier’s hand but did not shake it. Instead, he warned, “I don’t care if it’s the Olsons‘ doing, but if Windbreaker so much as scratches herself in this race, I’ll hold you guys responsible for
it!”
Xavier withdrew his hand slowly. It took him several seconds to find his voice. “Who is Windbreaker to you, Master Jim?”
“Mind your business. All you have to do is remember what I said,” Jim responded coldly. That was when he saw the race director waving and making hand gestures to signify the race was about to start.
Xavier did not know what had just happened, but he knew Jim Ryan was the King of Combat and Ms. Bonita’s bodyguard. The former could not afford to cross someone like Jim. With that, Xavier decided to give Vulture the signal to call off their plans.
However, he saw Ivor running to Windbreaker’s car and getting into the passenger seat.
*Is Ivor planning to ride with her?‘
