The Invincible Arthur Gardner

Chapter 66 - Driving Like a Champion

Benno stepped firmly on the accelerator, quickly leaving Arthur behind in his dust. His excitement was

palpable as he thought about winning the rare car as a prize. He whooped with joy as he sped along,

eager to finish the race and show off the new car to all the ladies.

Chuckling to himself, he exclaimed, “Hahaha, what a great day to be alive! This is the biggest prize

race I've ever had, and I'm beating some amateur who can only look good in a fancy car.”

Benno continued to drive fast, even though he remained surprisingly calm. He still gave Arthur hope of

catching up and even believed that Arthur might have collided with the guardrail and crashed.

"Hah! Completely ridiculous," he scoffed.

However, when he was around the corner, Benno couldn't believe his eyes: unexpectedly, Arthur's car

had managed to overtake him from the outer lane.

"What the hell?! How is that even possible?!" he exclaimed.

"I'm driving at a high speed, there's no way he could overtake me like that!"

Benno felt a surge of irritation but quickly refocused himself, determined to overtake Arthur and secure

his position.

"That rich guy really gets on my nerves," he muttered.

"He thinks he can beat me. I'll show him what a real pro driver looks like!" he declared confidently.

Benno stepped on the gas, pushing his car to its limit. He quickly narrowed the distance between

himself and Arthur's car.

"I'll pass him at the next turn," he chortled, "just watch!"

"This is easy for a professional like me."

As they neared the corner, Benno demonstrated his professional driving skills, easily overtaking Arthur.

"Ha ha ha ha! It seems he really is just an amateur who luckily overtook me before," he cackled.

Benno was determined to not let Arthur overtake his car again, so he increased his concentration.

“I had given Arthur too much hope to overtake me. It was a huge humiliation, but that was only because

I allowed myself to be caught off guard and underestimated him.” He thought to himself.

With this new determination, Benno quickly gained a significant distance from Arthur and raced away.

"He's merely an amateur; he's not even worthy of being compared to a professional racer like me."

On the one hand, Arthur was determined to close the gap between him and Benno's car, utilizing all of

his resources. Though he hadn't unlocked the full extent of his driving skill, his high Mind level allowed

him to focus intensely and make decisions in a fraction of a second.

[Let's go, Host! You can do it!]

“I think what you're saying is more distracting than encouraging, System!” Arthur replied.

Yet, Arthur was still adamant about not advancing to the next level of his driving skills.

"I'm certain I can do this without it!" Arthur declared confidently.

Up until now, Arthur was convinced that Benno had what it took to be a professional racer.

"Racing against Benno is really pushing me to give it my all. He's definitely a worthy opponent," he

declared.

Arthur was doing his best to keep up, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly, and each turn he

took was calculated and precise. He had a strong urge to use his VIP Points, but he was determined to

stay the course.

"I'm gonna try to overtake Benno in the next five to ten laps. I'm gonna do this without using my VIP

Points," he vowed.

Benno was putting all of his concentration into driving as if he were doing an official professional race

competition.

"This isn't like a normal race," he thought, feeling as though he were competing against another

professional racer.

Benno was certain that Arthur would attempt to overtake him on the upcoming turn at the front, so he

resolved to block him on the outer lane, anticipating that Arthur would not attempt to pass on the inner

lane.

"He'll surely kill himself if he tries to overtake me," Benno said confidently. "I'm the professional racer of

Southlake City after all. Let me show you why!"

He then shifted his car into the perfect position and blocked any possibility of Arthur passing him.

Surprisingly, Arthur's car managed to pull ahead of him on the inner lane.

At that moment, Benno was finding it hard to believe what he saw with his own eyes. Arthur had taken

a very daring move by preempting like that; he looked as if he was willing to risk his very life as if the

slightest wrong move would make the car skid and crash.

However, Benno couldn't fathom that Arthur had done it so flawlessly, something that would have been

very difficult for him to do.

"What the hell!? How did he do that?" Benno exclaimed in disbelief.

Echo, Arthur's bodyguard, who was watching from the audience stands, stood up from his seat, his

eyes widened in amazement.

"Our boss, how can he drive that well? This is beyond what a professional could say. I thought he

wasn't human - he's a monster!" he said, shaking his head before glancing back at Alpha.

Alpha then smiled faintly and chuckled slightly. "I think he is a God in disguise," he said. "If not, he

wouldn't have the beautiful angels by his side, right?" he added, chuckling again.

Echo looked surprised to hear Alpha's words. “Alpha, why do you dare to say those things? You're

blatantly seducing God's beautiful angels. You have committed blasphemy!”

"No, I'm just kidding," Alpha replied, then stood up and bowed before Edna. “Ms. Edna, please don't Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

report what I said to the boss," he pleaded.

Edna, still unable to process what she had just seen, snapped out of her trance. She turned to Echo

and Alpha with a gentle smile.

"At first I thought Boss Arthur was my guardian angel," she said with a light laugh, placing the back of

her hand to her lips, "but it turns out he's something even greater!"

Echo glanced back at Arthur's driving, which had quickly left Benno far behind.

"Wow, it doesn't look like it's human driving," he said in awe. "It's almost as if it's a super-intelligent AI.

Even Benno had a hard time keeping up with our boss. He's incredible."

“I think following Boss will be an exciting journey ahead of us,” Alpha remarked. “There will be plenty of

surprises along the way.”

"Yes, I'm lucky that Boss kicked me in the face that night," Echo replied with a laugh. "I'm in the front

seat for the amazing things he'll do in the future."
