Chapter 649 Curry gaped in disbelief. "The King of Skysunder Ridge? You mean the champion from two years ago the one who not only finished the entire Skysunder Ridge course but did it in record-shattering time?" Stevenson nodded. "That's right." Curry let out a long sigh. "That guy's a ghost-shows up out of nowhere and disappears just as fast. How are we supposed to find him?" "And even if we do, what difference will it make?" Stevenson's expression turned serious. "He's the only racer who survived the Skysunder Ridge tournament and set the fastest time. Ever since then, Skysunder Ridge has beclegendary-racers from all over the world are drawn to it. The developers behind the track, they practically worship this guy. Whatever he wants, he gets. Most importantly, the entire security team at Skysunder Ridge was created just for him." He continued, "The Skysunder Ridge security team knows every inch of the terrain, every twist in the weather. If we can get them on our side, we can make sure no one gets seriously hurt during the race. So really, all we need to do is find the King of Skysunder Ridge." Curry frowned. "If that security team is so good, why bother hunting down the King? Why not just go straight to the team?" Stevenson rolled his eyes. "You think it's that easy? The security team is handpicked by the developers, and the whole point of building that squad was to protect the King of Skysunder Ridge. The developers-they're all adventurers from out of the country. They love thrill-seekers, and to them, this racer is a legend, the only one who's ever conquered the course. They respect him, and they'll do anything for him." "The truth is, he's the only one who can give orders to the security team. That's why we need him." Stevenson sighed. "But there's practically no news about him-he's a complete enigma. Honestly, you can just ignore everything I said. It's probably a lost cause." Monica: "..." Curry: ".

Everyone exchanged exasperated looks, collectively rolling their eyes. If there was a word for this, it would be "speechless." Wade, however, was absolutely determined. No amount of reasoning could get through to him. At that moment, Monica's mind flashed to Citrine.
In the entire Saunders family, only their youngest sister could get through to Wade.
Monica tugged gently at Citrine's sleeve and whispered, "Sis, you're talk ssense into him. Wade's the only one he listens to get really lost it this time." Citrine glanced at Monica's hand on her sleeve, then answered softly, "Let him go, Monica."
Citrine's face was perfectly serious. "A young man's pride and passion can't be replaced. Racing is what Wade loves. If he backs out now, he'll regret it for the rest of his life."
"More importantly, anyone who wants to be a top racer hastotake op Skysunder Ridge sooner or later." "Wait, what?" Monica had been hoping her sister would talk Wade out of it, not cheer him on.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDamn it, help! What now? But, she had to admit-Citrine made a lot of sense.
Should she side with her precious little sister, or try to keep her reckless brother off Skysunder Ridge? Monica hesitated for a second, then made up her mind.
Forget it. Let her brother chase danger if he wants-making her sister happy was more important.
