Chapter 178

Chapter 178

Ashton had barely finished speaking when a loud explosion was heard.

A blinding fireball, towering over three meters high, erupted suddenly at a sharp turn in the race track. The crowd, caught up in their cheers, was instantly shocked by the loud explosion. Panic spread as people rushed to find safety.

“What just happened? Where did that explosion come from?” someone yelled in confusion.

Another person asked, “How could it blow up? Did something go wrong with one of the bikes?”

Some of the security staff acted quickly, rushing towards the site of the blast.

They set up a safety barrier to prevent the situation from getting worse.

It was only at that moment that someone realized–the racer who had been closely tailing the leader hadn’t returned yet. ‘Please tell me that explosion wasn’t him…‘ people worried anxiously.

In the VIP suite, Ashton watched in shock as an explosion lit up the scene. An uneasy feeling settled in his stomach just as his phone rang.

It was Connor calling. Ashton answered with a serious tone as he asked, “What’s happening?” Connor sounded hesitant as he reported, “Ashton, there’s been an incident. Sawyer’s bike unexpectedly combusted and broke into flames, and now we can’t find him.”

Ashton frowned, trying to wrap his mind around the situation as he thought, ‘Are you serious? How could a bike just catch fire out of nowhere?

‘The professional team checks every bike thoroughly before the race. That doesn’t make any sense!‘

Ashton’s eyes were drawn to Briar, who was confidently strolling out from the crowd with her hands behind her back, completely calm and showing no signs of worry.

It was almost as if she could sense Ashton watching her; she looked up, and their eyes met through the large window of the VIP suite.

Despite the distance separating the suite from the event below, their connection felt intense. Ashton could feel the pride and self–satisfaction radiating
