Chapter 167: Predator Chapter 167: Predator Asher’s jaw was set, his grip on the reins tight.

His earlier boasting still echoed in the minds of the audience.

“Let’s see if his words were just air,” a prince from a minor kingdom muttered.

“He talked so big… If he loses now, it’ll be so humiliating,” a noblewoman whispered.

From the royal seating area, King Ikechukwu of Lionara leaned back in his throne, watching with a calm expression.

Beside him, Queen Chioma’s lips curled into an amused smile.

“Somto’s already won,” she murmured.

“He just hasn’t bothered to show it yet.” Ebere sat with her arms crossed, shaking her head.

“Prince Asher never learns, does he?

He should’ve just kept quiet.” Nnenna, ever observant, simply watched the scene unfold with sharp eyes.

She did not comment.

Carl and Arthur, standing side by side, exchanged looks.

Carl smirked.

“Well, this is going to be a one sided beating.” Arthur remained silent but nodded.

The signal was given.

The race began.

Asher lunged forward aggressively, urging his horse into a powerful start.

The Gigangum supporters cheered loudly, their excitement overwhelming.

Somto, on the other hand, did not rush.

He let Asher run ahead.

Whispers spread through the crowd.

“Is he… holding back?” “Why isn’t Somto speeding up?” Prince Asher grinned, believing he had already gained an advantage.

He leaned forward, pushing his horse harder.

“Look at that!

Somto’s behind!” one of the Gigangum royals exclaimed.

“I told you, Asher’s different now!” another shouted.

But in the royal seats, Queen Chioma only laughed softly.

“Just wait,” she whispered.

And then… it happened.

Somto moved.

With one precise shift of his reins, his horse exploded forward.

It was effortless.

It was devastating.
