Dave glanced at the rearview mirror as the car sped down the road. An unfathomable glint flashed across his eyes.
The corners of his lips curled slightly as he looked aside and spoke. “Alpha Kilian , how long has it been since we acted together?”
Upon hearing that, Alpha Kilian swept his gaze across the vehicle following behind them. His cold voice was tinged with excitement. “It has been a long time.”
“Are you interested in doing it again?
“Oh? How should we go about it?” Alpha Kilian asked.
Dave glanced at Tony in the back seat. “I'm worried that it may frighten your boy.”
Sensing something from the men's conversation, Tony chimed in before Alpha Kilian could part his lips, “I was raised in a fear-based environment, Alpha Dave. Nothing has scared me yet.”
“Oh?”
“Alpha Dave, you may just show what you've got,” Tony added with a smile. Dave shifted his gaze to Alpha Kilian as though he was waiting for his opinion.
“In that case, please demonstrate to us what you are capable of, Dave,” Alpha Kilian uttered.
“As you wish, then.” Dave chuckled. Without warning, he stomped on the gas pedal and accelerated forward.
Alpha Kilian seemed to have expected that and raised his hand to grab the handle above the door. Tony , however, was caught off guard and fell backward due to inertia.
“Fasten your seatbelt and grab the handle,” Alpha Kilian reminded.
Tony reached out to grasp the handle above his head when he heard that. As it required strenuous effort, he held onto the door handle instead.
When their car sped forward, the other party seemed to notice something was off and accelerated to catch up with them.
Moments of speeding later, they feared they would lose Dave and the rest and followed the latter's car closely. Yet when they approached a traffic light intersection, Dave suddenly jerked the steering wheel and made a U-turn.
Seeing the vehicle behind them approaching, Dave curled his lips into a wicked smile and drove toward it—head-to-head.
It was as though he was not afraid of death.
Although Tony was a little tense and excited at the sight, he still chose to believe in Dave and tightened his grip on the door handle.
Alpha Kilian , however, looked rather calm. He stared at the vehicle before them and spoke. “I guess they'll definitely dodge us.”
Dave said nothing and drove ahead, seemingly wanting to crash into them.
Never in a million years did the other party think Dave would be so crazy. Driving at such a high speed significantly increased the chance of a rollover accident, not to mention applying the brakes to stop the moving vehicle suddenly. There was nothing they could do besides watching the two cars collide. In the nick of time, the driver jerked the steering wheel and drove to the side.
As it was late at night and there was not much traffic, they directly hit the pillar on the side of the road. A deafening sound reverberated through the air.
It was then Dave stopped the car. As the trio turned their heads toward the vehicle that hit the pillar, he remarked, “You've guessed it right.”
Alpha Kilian responded in a low voice, “That's the weakness of human nature.” Dave curled the corners of his lips. “Shall we interrogate them?”
“No. We already know who's behind this. Let's go,” Alpha Kilian replied. Dave simply nodded in response and drove off.
Tony , who sat in the back seat, couldn't help but ask, “Alpha Dave, are you not afraid if they crash into us?”
Dave smiled at his words. “Of course I'm afraid.” “Then why did you still do that?”
“This is how the world works. You've got to go all out to defeat your opponents.”
“How did you know that the people in that car were not sacrificial soldiers? You're living at the top of society, which is different from those devoted followers,” said Tony .
“That's why this is a battle. We need to use psychological warfare and see who can last until the end. I have everything, but I can leave them behind at a critical moment. Those people have nothing. Still,
there are things they can't let go of. Why do you think this is happening, then?” Dave asked.
Tony pondered for some time and finally understood why Dave and Alpha Kilian were able to secure their positions in society in the earliest days.
It was not because they were lucky, but they were able to go all out.
While Tony was still immersed in his thoughts, Alpha Kilian suddenly clarified, “Dave dared to do that because he had the certainty that he could avoid the other party at the very last minute.”
Tony was confused by his words.
Since Dave didn't deny it, the boy continued to ask, “Alpha Dave, are you a master of racing?” “More or less.”
“Even a master of racing will make a mistake. What if you made one?” the boy questioned.
Alpha Kilian looked at him and explained, “Even if he made a mistake, it didn't matter. This car has been specially modified to protect its occupants if an accident happens.”
