Awakening the War God novel Chapter 76

Chapter 76: Victory and Defeat 

"Little girl, you are excellent, but it's a such pity that you still can't beat me!" 

After Gabriel Edwards' car overtook Maria Quinn's, he showed showed a hint of a smug smile. 

In fact, to be honest, he felt that Maria's performance was amazing enough. 

She came out on top with her incredible starting speed at the very beginning. 

From the start, she left Tomas Taylor, an amateur, far behind. 

When crossing the stone pier, Maria seized the rear car's visual blind spot and set an ingenious trap. 

If it wasn't for the fact that Gabriel angled the car up and shortened the lateral absolute distance of his car, it was bound to crash. 

Luca Nieh, whose driving skill was not bad, was caught in the trap. 

Last time Maria failed on a V-bend, so she changed her running technique this time. 

She had been successful in utilizing inertia to turn around and maintain high speed through the bend. 

All these skills made him feel her admirable. 

If it weren't for Gabriel’s three years of working as a designated driver, which made him proficient in driving, and his driving skills by instinct, he would definitely have failed. 

It was a pity that Maria fell short of success for her new skill. 

The ultimate winner of this race could only be him. There was no difficulty in the rest of the track. 

Maria was behind, chasing desperately. 

But it seemed impossible for Maria to surpass Gabriel with almost the same car and a regular road section. 

As long as Gabriel maintained speed without making any mistake, and kept surpassing her car, he would definitely win.  

The race continued. 

Turning at a right angle, the two rushed onto a riverbank. 

Because of this turn, Gabriel overtook her car to a certain extent. 

The following road section was straight and 200 meters long. 

They were approaching the finish line, where many people were gathered, waiting for the final winner. 

"It's going to be over!" Gabriel thought. 

He stared at Maria domineeringly. 

He was that kind of person who would never ever allow his failure due to carelessness. 

The more critical the moment, the more vigilant he would be. 

"D*mn, d*mn..." 

She tried to overtake Gabriel several times, but was obstructed by him every time. 

Maria had no choice. 

As she approached the finish line, she was unwilling to be left behind. 

"I will fight with you!" 

Her pride did not allow her to accept failure. 

For the last glimmer of hope, she made a crazy move. 

She turned to the right and rushed towards the slope of riverbank. 

"I'm the winner!" Gabriel thought. 

He was about to cross the finish line. 

But at this moment, Maria's car disappeared behind him. 

Just as he felt puzzled, he saw her car rushing out from the slope of the nearby riverbank. 

Her car almost flew out with the speed of light. 

"Does this woman go crazy?" 

Even Gabriel was shocked. 

In order to overtake him, Maria actually drove the car onto the steep slope of riverbank on which there are many stones. 

If she made any mistakes, she was very likely to overturn the car and rush into the river. 

"The woman was literally risking her life." He thought. 

"Huh!" 

The two cars crossed the finish line almost at the same time. 

A crowd of onlookers at the finish line cheered one after another. 

But nobody saw clearly who had crossed the finish line earlier. 

In the distance, Gabriel suddenly braked and then stopped his car swiftly. 

But Maria‘s car slipped for a while given her fast speed, so it took her a long time to stop the car. 

"Maria Quinn! Excellent woman!" He praised her. 

After getting off the car, he lit a cigarette and leaned against the door. 

He rarely praised others, especially women. 

But this time, she really astonished him. 

Maria got off the car and hurriedly headed towards Gabriel. 

At this moment, they stared at each other. 

There was even a sense of sympathy. 

"What's your name?" 

Maria Quinn asked immediately when she walked up to Gabriel.
