Chapter 259
“Why is it always you? What do you want?”
Jack, clutching his helmet, marched over to them. His face was still swollen and red, and the hatred in his eyes was unmistakable. He tried to open the car door but found it locked. As he leaned lazily against the door, the dim streetlight cast shadows on his fierce face. “You think you can just walk away after getting us kicked out of the competition? It’s not that easy.”
“It wasn’t us who messed things up for you; you did that all on your own. Plus, it was your dad who kicked you out, not us. Why are you taking it out on us?”
“What’s the point of all this talk?” Jack sneered. “If you’re so tough, get out of the car and let’s settle this one–on–one.”
Dane didn’t want any trouble. They had made it to the finals, and the coach had stressed the need to be extra careful. He didn’t get out of the car. Instead, he calmly met Jack’s gaze. “I don’t have time for this. I have to get to Maple Grove for the grand finals. If I were you, after such a big embarrassment, I wouldn’t show my face around here.”
Jack laughed angrily. Why should they get to go to the finals after getting us disqualified? No way!
“You want to leave? Fine, but only if you have the guts to drive over me.” Jack slowly walked in front of the car, leaning against the hood with an air of defiance.
Dane’s expression darkened, but he chose not to get out. It wasn’t that he was afraid; he just didn’t want to risk something happening to Kaylee, who was in the car.
The standoff continued. Alex couldn’t keep his cool like Dane. He rolled down the window, stuck his head out, and yelled, “Jack, hasn’t your dad hit you enough yet? Do you forget that you knelt down like a dog and apologized to Dane?”
“Exactly! If it weren’t for Dane’s generosity in forgiving you, you’d still be kneeling!” The teammates in the car nodded vigorously in agreement.
Alex shouted, “Believe it or not, with just one phone call from Dane, you’ll have to kneel down again, calling Dane ‘Grandpa‘!”
Jack, already burning with anger, was reminded of the humiliation at the gym by Alex’s words. His face turned livid, his grip on the helmet tightened, and he grabbed Alex’s neck sticking out from the window, smashing the helmet down on his face!
Dane was shocked and grabbed Alex, trying to pull him back, but this only made Alex’s situation worse. Dane hastily opened the door and got out, swinging a punch at Jack. Only then did Jack let go of Alex and dodge to the side.
Alex, clutching his neck, coughed in pain. “You bastard! That was low!”
He gasped for air, not forgetting to curse Jack. Damn, Jack was actually trying to kill him just now!
“Guys, get him!” At Jack’s command, several bikers got down and started beating Dane. Dane realized it was too late to get back into the car. He could only shut the door forcefully. “Don’t get out. There’s a girl in the car!”
Jack’s gang was street fighters, and naturally overpowered Dane. In just a few moments, Dane was beaten black and blue. Alex and another teammate also got out, but it was too late to close the door.
