"Are you guys sure that you want to do this? You know the consequences of losing, right?" One of the young masters that was supposed to be participating in this competition could not help but ask.
"Why do you even care? It is not as if you are going to lose anything, right?" Simon was irritated as he looked at the young man who had commented.
He had already made a plan on how he was going to win, but now, it seemed that there was someone that wanted to interrupt the plan that had already gone through. Other than what he had targeted, Jack was even willing to offer more, which he would accept.
He was currently afraid that after the words of the young master, perhaps Jack would no longer be arrogant as he was, and retreat. That was something that he was the most afraid of. He was not willing to let Jack go just like that.
"I don't know what plan you are having, but nonetheless, you have to understand that you might also lose it. Are you sure that you will hand over what you have said to be willing to stake, the moment that you lose?" The other young master did not back down, but instead, asked a very important question.
He was also from an influential background. It was not as if he was going to be afraid of Simon, who was from a family that was from the hotel industry. Even though his family was not from the hotel industry, the influence of his family was also of the same level as the Philips.
"Why do you think we need to sign the contract? As long as I sign that contract, I will of course hand over everything that I staked as long as I lose the bet." Simon responded, while looking at Jack from the corner of his eyes.
He was afraid that Jack might actually back down after hearing this. In any case, as long as they signed the contract, Jack would no longer be able to back down.
As for the other young masters, they continued watching the show that was being presented to them. To them, this was just part of the many episodes that occasionally happened during the ones in a month Friday night race.
Of course, there were prices to be won, but there were fees to be paid in order for one to be able to join this competition. And other than that, several of them usually placed a bet on who was going to win, and they were not the only ones, considering that even the spectators were also involved in the betting.
This was part of the method that was used by this racing tracks to generate income, part of which was part of the prize to be won at the end of the competition.
Jack did not say anything, and accompanied Simon to go to the management area, where they signed an agreement on what they had bet on.
This was something that surprised many, and even shocked the one that was in charge of overseeing the bet between the two of them. It was true that many young masters would occasionally place bets on this race, but this was the one that involved the highest stake.
There was a possibility that one of them might back down from the bet, but as long as they signed the contract, it would no longer be possible. It might be true that Winding Driver Racing Tracks was not that big, but its background was big.
It was actually big enough to be able to compete against those big families, and that was the reason why as long as this agreement was signed, the ones that were involved would have to fulfill their part of the agreement.
The two of them, Jack and Simon both signed the contracts after going through the conditions that had been written there. And after confirming everything, they placed their signature on the paper, before handing the papers back over.
Then, they each went back to their cars, to wait for the race to start. As for the other young masters, they were quite interested in the reason why Simon and Jack both seemed to be confident in winning the race.
Of course, they were mostly curious about what made Simon so confident. It was not a secret that Simon had just been recently defeated by Jack in the same racing tracks not long ago.
Could it be that he had somehow managed to improve in just two days? But that was impossible, considering that driving skills were not things that could just be improved drastically in a matter of a few days. It needed time, and two days was obviously not enough.
Henry on the other hand could not help but feel that Jack was being too ruthless. After all, other than the fact that he possessed a skill that enabled him to possess experience and driving skills over 20 years, he also came to use a car that was so high tech as compared to the others that were being used in the race.
In any case, even if Jack allowed the other cars to start ahead of him, then followed from behind, he would be able to overtake them, and win the race. That was just from the capability of the car, not to mention that Jack was a professional when it came to driving.
Despite all that, Henry did not care. In any case, as long as they managed to get to reach the top of this world, then things would be better. Then perhaps that was the time that they would be able to understand the mission that they were supposed to deal with while here.
On the other hand, considering that the agreement had already been signed, Simon suddenly approached a middle-aged man who was standing next to his car. This man was currently wearing a cap, lowering it in such a way that it covered his face.
It was impossible to be able to tell who he was considering that he was wearing thick clothes that concealed his physique, and the cap was used to cover his a huge part of his face.
The moment that Simon approached, the man finally raised his head, and removed the cap that he was wearing. It was at that time that the others around noticed who this person was. And at that moment, gasps of surprise echoed in the air.
"Is that not Oliver? He is one of the top professional F1 racers in the city!" Someone suddenly exclaimed.
"That's right. And what is he doing with Simon? Don't tell me that Simon is planning to use Oliver in this race? Maybe that is the source of his confidence?" Another one commented.
"Hiss! This is insane! Now that Jack guy has definitely lost a lot. I tried to convince him against this, but he ignored me." Another one said.
"Simon is so ruthless. He actually found a professional driver to compete against Jack? Even though he is not going to be qualified to compete against us, it is not impossible for him to be able to compete against Jack. Even if he doesn't win the prize for the competition, he will still win the bet," said someone else.
"But Oliver is an F1 racer. It is going to be difficult for him to be able to win this race, right? After all, the cars are completely different from each other." Another one could not help but speculate.
"It doesn't matter the difference. He possesses the driving experience, and he understands this racing track way better than Jack. Even if he doesn't win the entire race, as long as he wins against Jack, it is good enough for the bet." Another one responded.
Simon on the other hand completely ignored the commotion that had been caused the moment that Oliver revealed his face. Instead, he whispered into Oliver's ears, asking him to make sure that he won the race.
"You don't have to worry young master Simon. This is something simple for me. It is impossible for a brat like him to be able to compete against me, even if this is not an F1 race. I can still win this, even though I don't usually drive these cars." Oliver responded confidently.
This was part of the plan that Simon had. He believed that as long as he invited a professional driver to compete against Jack, he would be able to win. That was the reason why he was so bold when he was making a bet with Jack.
It was Impossible for Jack to be able to win against Oliver, that was something that Simon was confident about.
"Just make sure to win. I don't really care about the rewards that come with winning the race. As long as I win against Jack, that's all that is needed. In any case, in the agreement, there is no part that said that I have to be the one that is personally racing against him." Simon said as he looked at Jack who was also looking back at him with contempt in his eyes.
Jack on the other hand, upon hearing the words from the people around him, he realized what had given Simon the confidence. Nevertheless, he did not say anything. It seemed that both of them had cheated.
He came with a supercar, while the other party found a professional racing driver. Since that was the case, there was no need for him to say anything, other than winning. As for losing to an F1 racing driver, that was an impossibility for Jack.
In just a little while, the race finally began. The number of cars that was involved in this race numbered up to 17 in total, indicating that 17 young masters were competing against each other.
