Chapter 46:
âWhat bravery from such a young lady! Go for it!â
âShe appears to be the one who just returned to the Gill family. Was she a racer before this?â
âJudging by her words, she just might be a professional.â
âIndeed, looks can be misleading. She wouldnât challenge that arrogant jerk if she werenât skilled.â
âGo for it!â
As the crowd showered her with compliments, Adelina felt a surge of joy.
Her eyes sparkled playfully as she burst into a giggle, saying, âHarlee, where did you disappear to? I recall you were quite the racer yourself.
Come join me! Mayer is too much. Letâs defend Multitopia together!â
While speaking, Adelina scanned the crowd with a feigned expectant expression.
Because of the prior disturbance, many were aware that Harlee had once been the heiress of the Gill family.
Following Adelinaâs invitation, all eyes began searching for Harlee.
Backstage, Harlee narrowed her eyes slightly.
Although she wasnât entirely sure of Adelinaâs intentions, the underlying hostility was clear.
The spot where Harlee had been seated in the stands was now vacant.
Adelina let out an exaggerated sigh, raising her voice on purpose.
âHarlee, have you fled in fear? Even though Mayer is talented, I canât stand by and watch him disrespect our people.

At a time like this, no one from Multitopia should show cowardice. If you let others walk all over us, you donât deserve to represent Multitopia.â
Adelinaâs challenging words immediately won the crowdâs favor, while damaging Harleeâs reputation.
From Adelinaâs taunts, it was clear that both she and Harlee were capable racers, yet only Adelina was brave enough to step forward, while Harlee seemed to have retreated.
Losing was one thing, but deserting was quite another. It would be utterly shameful.
Adelinaâs taunting had Mayer chuckling loudly.
âThat Harlee knows when to back down.
Arenât you people from Multitopia the most cowardly? How can you stand up to us from Rockyland, who never surrender?â
The crowd was enraged, upset by Mayerâs insults and Harleeâs seemingly hasty escape.
âBah!â
âEnough with your nonsense! Harlee doesnât represent all of us.â
âThat Harlee is a total embarrassment. Itâs infuriating!â
âWhat a coward!â
âWho said Iâd left?â Harlee gave Rhys a nod and emerged from backstage.
The manager turned to Rhys and asked, âMr. Green, should I intervene?â He noticed Harlee was in a bind because of Adelina.
At Harleeâs composed demeanor, Rhys shook his head.
