Chapter 172 How Did He End up Here?
During the noon break, the live broadcast had stopped for an hour.
Simone retrieved three talismans she had previously drawn and folded into triangles from her bag, placing one in her pocket.
In case of an attack using mystical arts during the competition, she intended to use the talisman for defense.
Then, she handed one to Zac and another to Harry. “These are the talismans I drew. Keep them close to you.”
She was also concerned that someone might target them while she participated in the competition.
Harry, somewhat confused, accepted the talisman. “Thank you, Simone!” Although he refrained from asking further questions, he believed Simone must have her reasons.
Zac, on the other hand, received the talisman with concern, asking, “Will there be any problems?” He knew that Simone wouldn’t suddenly produce the talisman, give it to them, and keep one for herself.
Simone reassured him with a look and said, “It’s fine.”
Only then did Zac nod and caution, “Be careful during the competition. If you can’t win the prize money, it doesn’t matter. Just treat it as a fun experience.”
For Zac, Simone’s safety was more important than winning the prize money.
Although Harry didn’t fully comprehend their conversation, he sensed potential dangers during the competition..
Following suit, he said, “Yes, winning or not winning the prize money is not important. Safety comes first.”
Touched by their words, Simone said, “Alright!” The three of them sat down, chatting for a while before relaxing on the couch in the rest area.
At one–thirty, an announcement from the organizers in the rest area instructed all participants to gather at the competition venue and locate their assigned motorcycles according to the numbers on their race cards.
Simone changed into her racing suit and handed her backpack to Zac.
With a confident smile, she waved goodbye to the two of them and headed toward the
racetrack.
As she left the rest area, Simone was unexpectedly bumped into by a tall and handsome young man.
She realized it was intentional and looked at him.
To her surprise, she recognized him instantly, though she didn’t show it.
The person who bumped into her was Skyler.
Despite being with Leon for years, she had never crossed paths with Skyler. This was due to Mrs. Foster’s disapproval, resulting in an average relationship between Leon and Skyler.
So, she had never met Skyler before.
She recognized him because she had seen his photos.
Skyler, in white shirt and trousers, looked handsome with an elegant and refined demeanor, resembling a charming young nobleman.
At the moment, one of his hands was holding a mobile phone, answering a call.
He apologized when he bumped into Simone, “Sorry, I was on the phone and didn’t pay attention. I accidentally bumped into you.”
Simone, treating him like a stranger, shook her head without a word and moved to leave.
Skyler ended the call and blocked her way, saying, “Miss, are you okay?”
Simone looked at him with a half–smile and half–smirk, replying, “I’m fine, but if you want to strike up a conversation, please consider the situation.”
She gave him a look that conveyed she was not interested in him.
Skyler laughed and said, “You’ve misunderstood,” gesturing an invitation..
Simone nodded and continued walking forward.
As they passed each other, Skyler whispered a reminder, “Be careful later!” Before Simone could react, Skyler had already taken a step forward.
Simone maintained the same expression, neither turning around nor stopping.
Why does Skyler suddenly appear? What does his reminder mean?
