Chapter 271 Arrogant?
<b>Krusada’s </b><b>car </b><b>yard </b>upied arge area, with grand and imposing architecture, just as the driver described it. It was a gathering ce for racing enthusiasts, and there was even a dedicated race track inside.
They were still outside the gate when they saw several racing cars speeding on the grounds inside, their engines roaring non–stop.
“Let’s go inside and take a look.”
Kate spoke decisively, then Hendrick and George <b>got </b>out of the car with her. Two bodyguards followed closely behind as all five entered the car yard. Kate’s gaze remained fixed on a red sports car not far
<b>away</b>.
“What are you here for? Looking for someone? Watching the race? cing bets? Or participating?”
As they stepped inside, they were stopped by the car yard security. The security guard who was burly and round, and spoke fluent Maridonianguage, eyeing Kate and herpanions up and down.
The driver nced at Kate and tranted for her, “He’s saying…
Before the driver could finish, Kate responded in fluent Maridonianguage, “We’re here to find someone. Is the owner of the red sports car here in the car yard?”
The security guard looked at her and replied, “Are you also fans of Ace Lin? Ace Lin just finished a race and is resting in the midfield now. But he has another race in the afternoon. You cane back then to watch. If you want to ce bets, that’s over there.
Kate was taken aback. “Ace Lin?”Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Seeing her bewildered expression, the security guard eyed her suspiciously, instantly on alert. “What’s <b>going </b><b>on</b>? You’re not Ace Lin’s fan? Then why are you looking for him? His enemies<b>?</b>”
“No, <b>no</b>. The driver hurriedly interjected, <b>waving </b>his hands. “We are <b>fans </b>of Ace Lin. We came to watch the race. Is the betting area this way?”
The security guard looked at them skeptically again before coldly replying, “Yeah.”
The driver whispered to Kate, “Madam, <b>we’re </b>new here. Let’s <b>not </b><b>attract </b>attention to the car yard. It’s a mix of all sorts, not just racing enthusiasts…”
Kate nced deeply at the red sports car and said calmly. “Let’s go then, to <b>see </b><b>this </b>so–called betting ce.”
After all, this was Krusada’s car yard, not something you’d find back in Haldoria.
they walked along, Kate noticed a variety of people–some here to modify their race cars, others to watch the races<b>, </b><b>and </b>some for the <b>same </b>purpose as them: betting.
Inside the lobby,rge screens disyed race information. Many people gathered around, chatting in <b>small </b>groups<b>.</b>

“This morning. Ace Lin’s performance was impressive–smooth and stylish. But this afternoon, he’ll be up against Hurricane<b>, </b>a top–notch international racer. I think Ace Lin might lose.”
“Pfft! Just because he’s won a few races, he calls himself Ace Lin? He’s just some unknown racer from Haldoria. Does he really think he can challenge Hurricane?”
“These Haldoria folks are too cocky. I heard this guy and Hurricane is hyping up their race. Coming to Krusada and daring to provoke Hurricane–Haldoria folks really don’t know what’s good for them.”
“The people of Haldoria are all useless! Hahaha!”
The murmurs of the crowd reached Kate and her group’s ears.
Kate frowned, Hendrick’s face darkened, George’s eyes turned icy, and even the driver’s expression grew cold <b>as </b>he stared intently at the group discussing on the other side.
Those people spoke in the localnguage of Krusada, but the driver, having spent many years there, naturally understood every word.
He <b>was </b>about to say something <b>when </b>he saw Kate suddenly step forward, her expression chillingly determined. Without hesitation, she spoke in fluent Krusada’s localnguage. “You who only gossip and talk behind others‘ backs, what kind of people are you?”
After Kate uttered these words, theughter and mocking remarks from those gathered together, ridiculing Haldoria, abruptly ceased. Their smiles disappeared, reced by displeasure as they all turned their gaze towards Kate.
