The group didn't chat for long before almost all the racers began to queue up for entry.
Seeing that the race was about to start, they walked together towards the spectator stands.
Peter, however, looked dejected. He still had a few pizzas left unsold, not having reached his target.
But he quickly cheered up. If he couldn't sell them, he would share them with his friends.
He distributed the pizzas in his hand to everyone, letting them all refuel.
Everyone held a slice of pizza, eating as they walked to their seats in the stands.
In the stands, Pepper and Happy were nervously watching the race track, completely oblivious to Andy and the others' arrival.
"Why are you two so nervous? I remember Stark's skills are quite good."
Andy's voice rang in their ears, startling them.
Then they realized it was Andy and his friends.
Looking at Stark's car on the track, Pepper said worriedly, "This race is too dangerous. I heard there are all sorts of obstacles during the race. I'm worried something might happen to Stark."
Perhaps it was the anxiety of caring, but Pepper felt uneasy.
She always felt that Stark participating in this car race was not a good idea.
But Stark was the leader; it was difficult for others to make him change his mind once he had decided on something.
Glancing at the super sports car, which stood out among the other race cars, Andy knew that Stark's flamboyant nature couldn't resist showing off again.
Shaking his head helplessly, Andy turned his attention to the other racers.
There were many racers here, and they were all eager to start.
After a quick look around, Andy's gaze settled on four modified race cars.
Looking at the nitrous accelerators at the rear of the race cars, Andy found it somewhat amusing.
The car race Stark was participating in was the same one Jessica and her friends were in.
It seemed these youngsters had even modified their race cars; it appeared the one-million-dollar prize was truly a great temptation for them.
They had even installed nitrous accelerators, which they couldn't fully control, but Andy wasn't worried about their safety.
In case of danger, they all had the ability to ensure their own safety.
Rather than worrying about them, it would be better to worry about the safety of the other racers.
The voice of the race organizer sounded over the loudspeaker, directing the cars to enter the track in succession.
After a long speech, the curtain on the car race officially opened.
The racers were randomly divided into groups, and unfortunately, Stark did not appear first on the track as he had imagined.
Pounding on his steering wheel, Mr. Stark was very displeased right now.
Jessica was among the drivers in the first group, which Andy was quite interested in.
After all, he also wanted to know what Jessica's racing skills were like, that she would be confident enough to participate in a car race, and for the one-million-dollar prize at that.
Jessica's race car was a completely modified red Hellcat. Its rear nitrous accelerator told everyone that its speed was not to be underestimated.
Watching Jessica lean on the car door, chatting animatedly with another female driver also participating in the race, Andy knew Jessica had strong confidence in winning this race.
As the race was about to begin, the racers got into their cars.
Jessica shouted to the female racer, "Giselle, let's see who's the first to reach the finish line."
Jessica had strong confidence in this race. She and Dr. Ethan had pleaded for a long time for this Hellcat.
Dr. Ethan, unable to concentrate on his work due to her pestering, had no choice but to help her modify the Hellcat.
The Hellcat didn't just have nitrous acceleration; it also had many meticulously designed structures by Dr. Ethan.
Even the entire appearance of the race car had changed, allowing it to break through air resistance more easily, making its speed even faster.
"Ha~ Then you're definitely going to lose. We taught you guys how to race."
The female driver named Giselle smiled, responding to Jessica's challenge.
She had observed the Hellcat's entire exterior. A car with such an appearance could indeed run faster.
But she didn't think Jessica could win the race. The track wasn't just straightaways; the numerous turns would allow her to easily overtake Jessica, who was just a rookie racer fresh out of training.
Both women were filled with strong confidence, and their respective vehicles roared continuously.
As all the green lights on the race indicator lit up simultaneously, all the vehicles shot out like arrows from a bowstring.
Jessica and Giselle were at the very front, far ahead of the other drivers.
They quickly disappeared from everyone's sight, with only the large screen in the spectator stands still tracking their movements.
The big screen constantly switched between the two women vying for the lead, while the other drivers were completely relegated to the background.
Harry and Peter, watching this kind of race for the first time, cheered excitedly. It seemed every man was unable to resist the charm of cars, regardless of their age.
Watching such a car race at the track indeed made it easier to get caught up in the excitement.
Almost everyone was shouting, making Andy feel a surge of enthusiasm.
After about a few minutes, Jessica and Giselle's cars appeared before everyone.
However, during those few minutes of racing, Jessica's speed decreased with every turn.
Even though she desperately tried to catch up on the straightaways, she was still half a car length behind Giselle.
In truth, Giselle wasn't having an easy time either. Jessica's learning ability in racing was simply too strong.
Although she had only been learning to race for a few months, Jessica's speed was in no way inferior to hers, an experienced driver.
Coupled with the Hellcat's nearly perfect modification plan, Jessica's speed became even faster.
She could only rely on her accumulated racing skills over the years, competing with Jessica by overtaking her on turns.
As for the nitrous accelerator at the rear of the Hellcat, Giselle wasn't worried about that, because every driver had their own secret weapon.
Reaching out, she opened the sealed box in front of the gear shift—that was the nitrous accelerator installed on her car.
Pressing the button inside the sealed box, Giselle's race car's rear nitrous accelerator slowly rose.
This was the final stretch, and she certainly didn't want to be surpassed by her student.
Both cars activated their nitrous accelerators simultaneously, and their speeds rapidly soared.
They both reached the finish line almost at the same time, so much so that even the organizer couldn't tell who was ahead by a step.
They could only repeatedly replay the footage of the two cars crossing the finish line on the big screen.
Through frame-by-frame analysis, the organizer finally determined that Giselle won the first race by a narrow margin.
Jessica expressed that she could accept the race result.
After all, her cornering technique wasn't as perfect as Giselle's. Being only slightly behind, to her, was almost no different from winning.
Stark, however, had a look of disbelief. He hadn't expected the winners of the first race to be two women.
Moreover, the first group not only lost to two women but also fell so far behind, which filled him with endless contempt for the drivers in that group.
They couldn't even keep up with cars driven by two women; did these people even deserve to be called racers?
As Stark scoffed, the list for the second group's race appeared.
This time, he was prominently among them, along with Luke from the Hunter's Tavern.
Their race cars roared continuously, waiting for the green light of the starting signal.
With a long blast, all the green lights illuminated, and the numerous race cars instantly accelerated and shot forward.
The quality of the drivers in this race was no longer as uneven as in the first group.
They all clung tightly to the vehicles in front of them, constantly accelerating, ready to overtake at any moment.
And Stark was right in the thick of it, holding the third position.
Looking at the race track on the screen, Andy turned to Tina and smiled:
"Stark bragged to me about his racing skills in San Francisco. Now it seems his skills are indeed quite good."
While Andy was speaking, the marker for Stark successfully overtook the second-place car and began to chase after the first-place car.
He knew Stark's skills were strong, but what Andy hadn't expected was that Stark could achieve such a good result among a group of professional racers.
Soon they saw a small black dot appear at the end of the track.
However, everyone's attention wasn't on that, but on the cleaning personnel walking onto the track.
"Whose person is that? Get him back quickly."
The organizer shouted anxiously. Entering the track at this time was asking for death.
In the hand of the cleaning personnel, two long whips crackling with electricity appeared.
He stood in the middle of the track, waiting for the race cars to arrive.
The whips, sparking with electricity in his hands, burned through his clothes, revealing the metallic skeleton beneath.
He had a layer of metallic skeleton on his body, and within that metallic skeleton was a reactor identical to Stark's.
But the drivers, who were rapidly approaching, were completely unaware. Their speed did not decrease as they sped towards the finish line.
It was only when they neared the finish line that they saw the strange man holding electric whips.
The driver sharply turned the steering wheel to one side, but the car's speed was simply too fast.
Such a sharp turn caused his car to directly overturn on the track, tumbling repeatedly.
Stark, in second place, was also about to slow down when he saw the strange man lash out at his car.
The whip, covered in electricity, easily sliced Stark's car in half, and all the spectators gasped.
They hadn't expected this person, who seemed to be seeking death, was actually here specifically to assassinate Stark.
Seeing Stark attacked, Pepper, holding Stark's portable Iron Man Suit, and Happy ran towards the track.
After only a few steps, the box in their hands was snatched away by Andy.
"You two should pay attention to your own safety. Leave the Iron Man Suit to Jessica."
After the first race ended, Jessica came to the stands to introduce her racing instructors to Andy and the others.
With Jessica's abilities, she could handle such a situation very easily.
Pepper looked at Andy, puzzled. Jessica looked like a newly adult girl.
"Trust me, Jessica's strength far exceeds your imagination. Besides, Stark himself has multiple layers of protection, so you don't need to worry too much about him."
After getting the portable Iron Man Suit, Jessica and Giselle rushed onto the track.
The racer who had just crashed was Giselle's friend, and also one of Jessica and her friends' racing instructors.
Jessica charged towards the strange man, throwing the box towards Stark.
That was her boss; it wasn't good for an employee to let their boss get hurt.
Jessica kicked the strange man, and immense power erupted on the strange man's body.
The strange man was kicked away but was unharmed.
She hadn't attacked with full force just now. After all, this wasn't Hell's Kitchen; if she killed someone, it wouldn't be good.
But Jessica's pants were burned through by the electric arc, which made her want to cry without tears.
She looked at her clothes with a pained heart; they were racing gear Jessica had specifically purchased.
She had only worn them for a few hours, and this gear was already damaged.
She then glared at the strange man. Now Jessica only wanted to beat this strange man to a pulp to soothe her wounded heart.
However, Stark had also completed equipping his Iron Man Suit. He was the strange man's opponent; it was better to leave this to them.
Jessica needed to go help the other racers. After all, quite a few had crashed because of this strange man, and they all needed help.
