Chapter 89 There's a water channel! Quick, there's a water channel! Go in quickly!

As expected, the two families mentioned by Saionji Akemi were the Busujima family and the Shiina family.

Both families, who started out in the yakuza world, have gradually transitioned from the underworld to the legitimate world by venturing into various industries such as entertainment, food and beverage, and real estate.

In Gunma Prefecture, they can be considered evenly matched.

Even in the area of ​​Sakura, the local security situation is not as secure as the words of the two heads of the household.

They even went so far as to do absurd things like occupying mountain roads.

Judging from their previous overtaking maneuvers on curves without even honking their horns, these people were incredibly audacious. If it weren't for the fact that Junichi Sei was endowed with superb driving skills by the system, he would have at least had a close encounter with the guardrail.

If you're even less lucky, you might even crash through the guardrail, resulting in a fatal accident.

This guy who treats human life like a joke, coupled with both old and new grudges, made Junichi Sei show no mercy.

I never expected that there would be such a deeply entrenched power behind that girl named Saeko Busujima.

Now that the trouble is completely in his hands, running away won't do any good. The only option now is to see how he can help with the favor the other party mentioned.

The first possibility that can be ruled out is a conflict of power, because an ordinary person like Junichi Sei would have no power to get involved in such a matter. Judging from the other party's entourage just now, and the mountain road racing that Master Saionji mentioned earlier, it is clear that racing is the most likely cause.

Since the other party was interested in seeing his abilities in this area, Junichi Sei didn't hold back and floored the accelerator.

The 5.2-liter R8 is destined to have excellent performance on uphill sections, even surpassing the McLaren 720S, which costs more than twice as much.

Akemi Saionji, who was standing nearby, noticed the change in Junichi Sei's expression and vaguely realized what was about to happen. Her eyes, which were painted with light eyeshadow, were burning with excitement.

However, this excitement was immediately extinguished when we approached the second bend.

She gripped the seatbelt tightly, which was squeezing her clothes out of shape, her heart pounding in her throat.

What the hell! That bastard didn't slow down when he went around the corner!

...

"Saeko-nee, do you want him to replace Tetsuo in the competition?"

At this moment, Saeko Busujima's Ferrari had passed the fourth of the five hairpin turns, and the girl next to her couldn't help but frown.

I guess so.

Saeko Busujima replied indifferently.

"But the team isn't short of drivers, even me..."

The girl tried to fight for it, but Saeko Busujima waved her hand and interrupted her.

"It doesn't matter who plays in this game, the result is destined to be the same."

Saeko Busujima's gaze was indifferent, as if she were discussing something predetermined.

"Then why did you..." the girl asked suspiciously.

Saeko Busujima suddenly laughed, a laugh that sent chills down one's spine: "Don't you think it's a very interesting thing to let someone see a glimmer of hope from despair, only to plunge them straight into hell?"

"You mean, you did it on purpose..." The girl finally realized what was happening, and her makeup started to falter.

"I knew from yesterday's match that we couldn't beat that guy from Chiyi at our current level."

Saeko Busujima's gaze turned slightly cold again, and her smile faded slightly: "Since it's destined to be the same outcome, it doesn't matter who we send. As for that guy, I'd like to see how he reacts when he's flustered."

This was the first time in her life that Saeko Busujima had been rejected to her face. Of course, that wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was that she hated the expression on that person's face, which was like that of a god, seeing through everything and as if he had everything under control.

The feeling was very similar, because I was the same kind of person, but she didn't like anything similar to her, and she even suppressed her, surpassed her, and rejected her!

She could not tolerate any of these things.

The girl next to her covered her face and shook her head upon hearing this; her cousin's old habit had started again.

"This guy seems destined to fail..."

"boom!"

The girl's thought had barely formed in her mind when a low, menacing roar suddenly came from the car behind her. The extremely suppressed engine sound was not the familiar one.

As the team's assistant, Tayumi Shinoe couldn't possibly miss the sound of her own team's engine.

Moreover, there was only one person in this team who could keep up with his cousin so quickly, but that person had already escorted Tie Nan down the mountain.

So this person is...

Tayumi Shinoe's heart skipped a beat, and an absurd thought popped into her mind.

At the same time, Saeko Busujima's expression, which had previously seemed to be toying with people's stubbornness, also became serious.

She could also tell that the engine sounded very distinctive.

It couldn't be someone from the convoy!

However, her expression changed quickly. After realizing it was someone, her expression became eager to try.

She's an amateur at volleyball, but when it comes to racing, she has absolute confidence.

Unless someone shamelessly brings in a professional player like Akagi, there are definitely no more than three people in the entire Gunma Prefecture who can beat me!

"Tayumi, check the road conditions for me!"

Tayumi Shinoe was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood: "I understand."

"Mitsui, Mitsui, did you hear me? Immediately close the uphill road and prevent vehicles from entering. Other observers, keep an eye out for oncoming vehicles at the fifth hairpin bend!"

Tayumi Shinoe quickly took out a walkie-talkie, her previously nonchalant demeanor instantly turning serious.

As messages kept coming through the walkie-talkie, Tayumi Shinoe immediately relayed them to Saeko Busujima: "Saeko-nee, three cars are coming from the opposite direction up the hill. They will converge at approximately 1 minute 10 seconds, 1 minute 15 seconds, and 2 minutes 06 seconds. The fifth hairpin bend ahead is clear!"

"Saeko-nee, the R8 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds, while your Ferrari 296 takes 2.8 seconds. That means once you get past the fifth hairpin bend, it will be virtually impossible for the other side to overtake you on the straightaway."

Saeko Busujima perked up immediately upon hearing this, her gaze darting between the dashboard and the road, her voice growing increasingly deep: "OK."

...

Meanwhile, in the R8 vehicle.

"Sei... Sei-kun, can't you hold the steering wheel with both hands?"

Akemi Saionji, in the passenger seat, gripped the safety handrails tightly with both hands, her eyes darting to the left and right of the empty handrails placed in the center, her lips trembling slightly.

This guy is insane. He accelerates through corners, and he keeps operating the car with one hand the whole time. Does he think he's some kind of cuckolded tofu shop owner?

As soon as Saionji Akemi thought about how the other person had just asked her if she wanted to take more motion sickness medicine, she got so angry that she almost needed to pee!

"Um, I feel like I'm a little faster in this state."

Junichi's gaze shifted as he looked at the fifth hairpin bend right in front of him, and every pore on his body seemed to open up.

He ignored the pink Ferrari; a voice in his head seemed to be urging him on, like a devil whispering:

"There's a water channel! Quick, there's a water channel! Get in there quickly!"
