My Sugar and Your Spice (Amelia and Leo)
Chapter 240

Four headlights at the entrance to the racetrack flicked on like a demon's eyes in the night, illuminating the entire racetrack in a wretched white color. Chris, who had been watching the battle nervously, couldn't help turning his head to look in the direction of the blinding white lights.

Two figures emerged from the lights.

They strode over in a vertical line. One was in white while the other was in black.

The white figure looked elegant with its clothes rolled up.

The black one, on the other hand, was a handsome and solemn man who didn't have one hair that was out of place.

"Leo? Toby?" Chris hurriedly called out and went over the moment he recognized them.

"What brings the two of you here?"

Walking in front, Leo had a blank expression on his serious face. He didn't respond to Chris' words as his dark gaze swept over the racetrack.

"You wanted to race, no? Why aren't you on the racing track?" Toby's gentle eyes were a stark contrast to Leo's.

There was a small smile on his graceful face.

Chris grabbed a handful of hair and lamented, "I did for one round! But I lost..."

"Oh? Someone actually beat the Chris Alston! Which amazing person was it?" Toby asked out of curiosity.

He apparently didn't know who Chris was here for tonight.

The more questions he asked, the more embarrassed Chris felt. Chris' head was hanging low when he muttered, "Who else? Of course, it's A-Amelie. Ashton came up with the stupid idea to cover our right eye. I lost by three seconds."

Even the three seconds were what Amelie spared him.

Chris was overwhelmed by shame the more he thought about it.

He initially thought that Toby would tease him for it. To his surprise, Toby's face suddenly fell. "What did you say?"

As soon as he said that, Toby grabbed Chris by the collar and yanked hard.

Confused, Chris peered at Toby dazedly. "W-What's the matter, Toby?" he choked out. The face in front of him was thunderous.

With his mouth pressed in a thin line, Toby looked as if he wanted to gobble someone up.

Chris had never seen Toby acting so menacingly before.

Toby only managed to stop himself from throwing a punch at Chris' face by pursing his lips and calming down.

"Damn it!" He shoved Chris away.

To begin with, Amelie had lost her vision in her left eye. Covering up her right one would render her completely blind. This was a race with a blind person!

"Where is she?" he growled.

Chris was still bewildered when he robotically pointed at the racetracks upon hearing Toby's question.

He looked in the direction he was pointing at as well before he suddenly cursed, "F*cking hell!"

Because of the headlights, the whole racetrack was lit up.

It was only when the lights came on that Chris saw a row of standing wood pilings not far from Amelie.

In other words, she would crash into it no matter how she drove! She would undoubtedly end up dead if she drove at a speed of 600 miles per hour and crashed into the pilings.

Who would do something so evil?! Chris started to dash in Amelie's direction, but someone was faster than him.

He only felt a strong gust of wind from both sides before he saw two figures, one black and the other white, rush out. They're like arrows! No, they're faster than arrows. They're like rockets! Both of them... Chris was stupefied.

However, he soon noticed that they wouldn't be able to save Amelie no matter how fast they were.

It would take less than a second to cover that 50 meters...

In short, Amelie was doomed.

Even Elyse, who was hiding in the audience section, smiled triumphantly.

Not even the best racer in the world could avoid crashing into the pilings 50 meters away at this speed!

Amelie will finally be gone for good! Elyse inwardly cheered. Haha! My plan worked! I'm a genius!

She had a glint in her eyes as she was already imagining how she wanted to celebrate her victory.

Then, she closed her eyes to enjoy the explosion of the fatal car crash.

Swoosh!

Two seconds had passed after that and yet, she didn't hear the impact she was expecting. Instead, all she heard was the sound of something shooting through the air.

It was like a flying saucer.

Elyse couldn't help but open her eyes, only for the fire in her pupils to be covered by a flash of red.

It was a striking, willful redness in the shape of a car!

The car soared high in a perfect arc and easily sailed over the blocked road before it made the perfect landing on the ground.

With a swish, it stopped at the finish line in the most graceful pose.

The entire process was simple and neat without any extra movement.

T-That's Amelie's car! Elyse finally understood when she saw the red figure hopping out of the car. She went over the wooden pilings and successfully dodged the bullet! How can this happen? It's impossible! How can she do this when she can't see anything?

At the same time, Leo was in the middle of running toward Amelie when he abruptly stopped in his tracks and fixed his gaze on her.

Although his face was calm, his heart was racing.

His heart almost stopped the moment he realized that she was going to be in danger.

He wasn't even this afraid during the car accident he was involved in with his father...

Toby also let out a breath of relief as he staggered toward her. "Were you trying to give me a heart attack?" he scolded.

She must have been trying to test the audience's tolerance by participating in a competition like this blindfolded.

At that, Amelie tore off the silk scarf with one hand and removed the hat with another. Her smooth locks fanned out like a waterfall, making her bright eyes stand out against the background.

H-Hot damn... She's so cool!

Chris had always admired Amelie, but the blindfolded leap she made just now had gotten him to throw himself down at her feet in admiration.

He was now on his knees despite being in public.

Bang!

Amelie hadn't had the time to do anything before she heard another sound.

Everyone turned their heads, only to see that Ashton's car had crashed into the fence which had cut off the track.

As he couldn't control it well, his car spun several times on the track before it finally flipped over on the side of the road.

Fortunately, he hadn't been driving too fast. The protection he had was also adequate.

It didn't take long before he crawled out from under the car.

With a defeated look on his face, he forcefully kicked his battered car. He had destroyed a car worth hundreds of thousands just like that.

Despite seeing his pathetic appearance, Chris didn't feel like sympathizing with him at all. He even started guffawing.

"Oh, Ashton. Your bet, you pay. My idol not only completed the race within the specified time, but she also gave us a flying-car show. Now that is something new!" He put the stopwatch in Ashton's face.

Still, he regretted not taking a photo or video of such a courageous act.

Ashton couldn't say anything in return. Annoyed, he only threw Chris' hand aside and stormed off.

However, he hadn't even taken more than three steps when a hand grabbed him from behind and pulled him back.

Bam!

A heavy punch landed on Ashton's face.

Heavy thuds could be heard going on and on after that.

All they could see in the dark of the night was a white figure ruthlessly treating Ashton like a sandbag.

"Toby? What are you-" Chris was at a loss for words.

Toby was the gentlest one among their friends. No matter if he liked it or not, he would always be full of smiles and treat people courteously.

Yet, he was now beating Ashton up and he didn't hold back at all as he lay continuous blows on Ashton.

Chris even suspected that the person in front of him was not Toby but another person wearing Toby's skin! Unable to stand more of those hits, Ashton finally fell to the ground.

Even so, Toby didn't stop.

His fists swung again and again as hatred filled his eyes, making him look like a beast that devoured humans. Quietly standing beside him was Leo, who had his fists clenched as he looked on with a dark gaze.

Even though his friends were in a tussle, he stood there motionless, as if he was an outsider.

The look on his face was even darker than Toby's.

He didn't hit Ashton but was no different from the devil himself. Just looking at him gave others chills all over their bodies.

What's wrong with the two of them? Chris didn't understand what was going on. Seeing how one-sided the fight was, he only stepped forward to stop Toby out of worry that this would escalate into something worse. "Hey, that's enough!"

It was only then that Toby gloomily retreated.

Ashton spat out a mouthful of blood and threw a mocking glare at him.

Chris didn't want another fight to break out, so he nudged Ashton. "Mr. Lowe, how about you leave for now?"
