MTLNOVEL Chapter 104: Humiliation!
"Uncle, tell me, have you really never driven this kind of speedboat, not even once?" Jiang Feng and Chu Feifei, with the help of the staff, sat on a speedboat and fastened the safety devices, then Chu Feifei asked Jiang Feng somewhat uneasily.
"Of course." Jiang Feng nodded earnestly.
Chu Feifei was almost dizzy; she couldn't understand where Jiang Feng's mysterious confidence came from since he had never driven one before.
At this moment, Da Fei had already started a bright orange speedboat and approached slowly. From a small distance away, he smiled at Jiang Feng and said, "Bro, are you ready? We're about to start. If you want to back out now, it's still not too late. Once we hit the track, it'll be too late to turn back!"
"Do you always like to talk nonsense before competing with someone?" Jiang Feng's expression remained calm.
"Haha, I just like your fearless attitude!" Da Fei sneered, "Let's see how it goes then. I'll wait for you up ahead!"
After saying that, Da Fei took the lead and steered his speedboat towards the starting line.
"Brother Jiang, go for it!!"
"Jiang Feng, go for it!"
At this time, Liu Shiyuan and Bai Zhiqing on the shore were shouting encouragement, and Nangong Qingcheng also clasped her hands together in a prayer gesture, the worry on her face even more apparent.
Jiang Feng smiled lightly and waved to them, indicating for them not to worry.
Chu Feifei watched from the side, dizzy and disoriented; even at this moment, Jiang Feng remained calm and steady, truly impressive!
Then, Jiang Feng also started the speedboat, imitating and heading toward the starting line.
Seeing Jiang Feng skillfully maneuvering the speedboat, Chu Feifei was a bit surprised.
However, when she saw Jiang Feng keeping his eyes fixed on Da Fei in front of him, she suddenly understood that Jiang Feng was learning on the go!
This realization left her stunned; Jiang Feng's memory must be incredible! He only took a glance at Da Fei's hand movements and already memorized all the operations, replicating them seamlessly?
But this also, in another aspect, confirmed that Jiang Feng was indeed a beginner... Chu Feifei really felt a bit anxious, suppressing her inner unease to accompany Jiang Feng onto the race track.
Arriving at the starting line side by side with Da Fei, the latter smiled sinisterly, "Kid, see that island up ahead? We race along this track, circle around that island, and come back. Understood?"
The onlookers on the shore heard this and felt that Da Fei was shameless!
Racing with a newcomer and even voluntarily changing to the most difficult rule, a long-distance race.
That island seemed close, but it was at least over twenty nautical miles away from here. Even racing along the track, with layers of waves in between and the howling sea wind, required turns and navigation.
A small mistake and going against the waves could easily result in capsizing, which only proves how deftly Da Fei played his hand!
"Are you ready? If you're ready, we're starting!" A referee standing by the starting line shouted loudly when he saw the two were ready, raising the small yellow flag in his hand: "Get ready—"
"Beauty, remember, if I win later, you'll stay and keep me company. We had an agreement!" Da Fei leered at Chu Feifei, teasing.
"Shameless!" Chu Feifei said, both angry and annoyed, to Jiang Feng, "Uncle, you must win and give that guy a good lesson!"
"I'll do my best."
"No, not just try, you must win!!!" Chu Feifei shouted angrily.
"Start!!" The referee over there finally dropped the small yellow flag in his hand!
At that moment, Da Fei immediately accelerated, and his orange speedboat shot out like an arrow!
Whereas Jiang Feng's speedboat was still motionless at the starting line, slowly starting off, causing the surrounding onlookers to burst into laughter!
"I'm dizzy, what on earth is this kid doing?" The people on the shore were speechless!
"He can't even start it. He's bound to lose!" Zhang Qinyao sneered.
Chu Feifei was even more anxious: "Uncle, what are you doing? Hurry up, we're going to be left so far behind. How are we going to catch up?"
"Don't worry, you sit tight." Jiang Feng was still getting familiar, methodically starting the speedboat, gradually increasing the speed to stabilize the balance first.
Suddenly, Jiang Feng abruptly pulled the motor line, and the speedboat roared sharply, speeding off like a flash of lightning!
The entire cabin shook, and the fierce wind whipped across, making Chu Feifei's hair fly. She quickly steadied herself, fastening the safety device again with her heart pounding!
"Wow, wow, wow!!" Seeing Jiang Feng finally speed up, the onlookers on the shore started screaming wildly like madmen!
"Brother Jiang, go for it!!!" Liu Shiyuan was the most enthusiastic cheerleader, her face flushing with tension, her expression full of encouragement, even taking two steps forward involuntarily.
While observing from a distance, Nangong Qingcheng glanced more at Liu Shiyuan, who felt that Liu Shiyuan's attitude towards Jiang Feng seemed a bit off; she was—overly worried?
Da Fei had already rounded a huge wave ahead, glancing back at Jiang Feng chasing behind, sneering, "With that speed, don't even think of catching up in your next life!"
Confident of his victory, he had already begun fantasizing about taking Chu Feifei away in front of everyone. The rules of the race said as long as he won, Chu Feifei couldn't back out, and the audience would support him.
However, while he was getting lost in his daydreams, Jiang Feng behind was steadily gaining momentum, gradually closing the distance between them.
Da Fei frowned slightly, glancing back, but he wasn't in the least bit anxious.
This was the effect he sought; he didn't just want to win by a wide margin.
It was best for Jiang Feng to catch up to him, and then he could accelerate beyond again, almost like a game of cat and mouse, securing the top position!
This way, he could win the race and thoroughly show off in front of Chu Feifei, reveling in the superiority—not too exhilarating!
Since witnessing Jiang Feng's sudden speed burst, Chu Feifei now had a bit more confidence in Jiang Feng.
Watching as the distance between the two speedboats gradually closed, she looked ahead proudly and said, "That guy talked big, but it turns out he's nothing special. Uncle, you can catch up to him like this, even though he claimed to be an old hand!"
"Whose side are you on?" Jiang Feng half-jokingly yet serene, said, "He hasn't exerted his strength yet; he wants us to catch up just to humiliate us further."
Hearing this, Chu Feifei was instantly angry: "That scumbag's intentions aren't good, so what should we do?"
"Do the opposite, and humiliate him!"
Jiang Feng remained calm as a mountain, revving the motor, pushing the speedboat to its limits just when a massive wave surged ahead, rising with the wind, growing as tall as a small mountain, blocking his path!
