Chapter 46 The Bet
From both at home and abroad, it seemed that no one had ever got this result in this championship!
Everyone's faces became more and more worried, but Freddie was calm.
He looked at Clarissa with his face darkened, "So what? If you tell me these just to let me give up this match, it's impossible!"
Clarissa smiled, "You misunderstood me! I didn't mean to let you give up. I'm just telling you honestly that with your current strength, it's impossible for you to win the championship again."
"How dare you!"
Those who were hot-tempered couldn't stand Clarissa anymore and wanted to beat her.
Freddie stopped them.
He looked at Clarissa and said with a calm expression, "What do you want to say?"
Clarissa smiled frankly, "I can help you win the championship."
"What?"
Everyone revealed an expression of disbelief.
Clarissa added, "As long as you promise me one condition, I can guarantee that the champion will definitely become yours."
Freddie sneered, "I know what you mean, but I'm sorry. I am not interested in your proposal and I don't believe your words. I admit that Jameson is indeed an admirable and powerful opponent, but I am not afraid of him."
Clarissa wanted to say something more, but Freddie raised his hand and interrupted her.
"All right. If you have nothing else to say, you can go out. I'm going to prepare for the match."
Clarissa frowned.
Seeing that he had made up his mind, she had to leave for the time being.
The final soon began.
The cars of the four teams entered the track. When the whistles sounded, the match started.
All the cars rushed out in a very fast speed.
The members of the Cannonball Team kept their eyes on Freddie's car, and the place seethed with enthusiasm.
Just then, someone behind a member suddenly patted him on the shoulder.
He turned around and frowned when he saw the person standing behind him.
"It's you? Haven't you left yet?"
Clarissa smiled, pointed to the big screen above the track and said, "Look, Freddie is in the third place now. Even if he can barely enter the final, no matter how hard he tries, he can only get a second. It's impossible for him to win the championship."
The man was extremely angry at her words, but he had no way to refute her, because she was telling the truth.
He had to admit that although Freddie was very powerful four years ago, there were many new racers in this circle. Racing was a sports that relied on the reaction ability and body coordination.
Freddie... was already old.
The screen displayed the situation of various sections. Freddie's car was always at the third place. Although he kept a close distance with the second place, there was still a long way to go to catch up with Jameson.
The hearts of the team members gradually sank.
They had prepared for four years, and all they wanted was to win the championship.
In the past four years, they had suffered a lot of ridicule and disdain. But they endured it silently and never complained.
They just wanted to win in the competition in an upright way and take back the honor that originally belonged to them!
Thus, they could convince those who looked down on them, and they could tell everyone that the champion belonged to them forever!
But the situation didn't seem to be good...
Couldn't they really win the championship this time?
The team members were no more excited, and they gradually became anxious and uneasy.
The first half of the final was over and the results were announced.
Jameson won the first place with a score of one minute and forty-eight seconds, and the score of the second place was one minute and fifty-four seconds. Freddie was in the third place, and his score was one minute and fifty-five seconds.
Obviously, they were inferior to Jameson.
The referee announced that the three of them would enter the final. They would have a rest for half an hour and the final would start after half an hour.
Although they had successfully entered the final, the atmosphere in the Cannonball Team was depressed. They surrounded Freddie and went to the lounge.
After entering the lounge, everyone looked at Freddie's expression.
One of them asked tentatively, "Freddie, do you think we can win the championship this time?"
Freddie glanced at him.
His face darkened a little. After a while, he said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry. I may let you down this time."
Just now, he had tried his best, but he only took the third place.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that he was indeed old.
Although his skills were first-class, the reflexes of his hands and feet were no more lightning, and he was inferior to those top racers who were in their early twenties.
Hearing his words, the team members felt a little apologetic and sad.
"Freddie, don't say that. We believe you. You can do it!"
"Yes, even if you don't win the championship, it doesn't matter. You will always be our leader!"
Freddie smiled.
Although he knew that they said these words sincerely, he had a regret in his heart.
He was already forty two years old. If he lost the match this year, it would basically be impossible for him to participate in a match again and see the Cannonball Team win the championship with his own eyes.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Clarissa walked in.
"Director Jordan, how do you feel now? After experiencing it yourself, you know that what I just said is true, right?"
Looking at Clarissa, who suddenly appeared in front of him, Freddie touched his forehead helplessly.
He thought, "Why is she here again?"
"Clarissa, what exactly do you want?"
Clarissa said confidently, "I said that I want to help you win the championship."
He looked up at her and frowned, "Racing is not a trifling matter. A person who had no experience will not only lose, but also be likely to get injured. Are you sure you still want to participate in the match?"
Clarissa smiled and bent over slightly.
She stared into Freddie's eyes and said word by word, "I'm sure. If you don't believe me, we can make a bet. If I lose, you can decide how to deal with me. If I win, give me the proportion of Erica Hughes in 'Destiny Fragrance'. What do you think?"
Freddie was a little shocked.
"You're here for 'Destiny Fragrance'?"
"Of course."
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
They looked at each other and neither of them wanted to make a concession.
After a while, Freddie gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
"Okay, I promise you."
"Freddie!"
"Freddie, you can't promise her!"
The people next to him wanted to persuade him, but he raised his hand and stop them.
"However, I also have a condition. If you win, then from now on, you have to join the Cannonball Team and you can't leave in at least five years!"
Everyone was shocked.
They had to admit that Freddie really had a deep consideration for their team.
These years, the other teams were getting stronger and stronger and they had many powerful racers. Jameson was even more excellent. He won the championship four times and no one could defeat him.
But the Cannonball Team had been declining since four years ago.
They used to be the best team, but they couldn't even defend their championship.
It could be imagined how sad and worried Freddie was.
