Chapter 107
A deal with the devil
Chapter 107 That child had been saved in the cat accident. The Tickdilver escaped with only minor injuries, but Tristan liad died on the spot.
M the tune, T Tristan was already a rising star in the international championship scene, having even received an invitation from an F1 team.
He was about to become Celestiaâs last Fridriver Sadly, in the prime of his youth and at the pinnacle of his career, he sacrificed his life to save a child It was a tragedy for the racing world and a significant loss for Celestia, leaving countless hearts aching with regret.
Tristanâs story made headlines two years ago, and on the day of his fairwell, the entire racing world lit candles in his honor, observed a threeâminute silence, and bid farewell to a true here:
Shirleyâs gaze shifted back to the present. Besides Tomas, she noticed another familiar face, Sabrina Clay.
She was the newly crowned goddess of the racing world. Sabrina was Jessicaâs cousin and, by extension, Shirleyâs distant relative as well.
Before Tristanâs accident, Sabrina and Tristan had been deeply in love.
Now, Tomas looked utterly despondent. His bloodshot eyes stared at Sabrina with a mix of desperation and pleading.
He said, âSabrina, canât you stay for just six more months? if you leave now, Turbo impact will truly be finished. For Tristanâs sake, at least finish this international championship before you go, okay?
Sabrinaâs expression remained cold as she replied, âWe had an agreement, didnât we, Mr. Clarke? Bringing this up in front of so many people isnât fair to me.â
âI wouldnât have done this if you had answered my calls, Tomas said, his voice cracking. âWe agreed that if the team could find a suitable replacement, I wouldnât stop you. But it we couldnât Sabrina cut him off impatiently, her tone frosty. âIf you couldnât, what? Does that mean I have to be tied to Turbo Impact forever?
Because of Tristan, staved an extra year. What more do you want from the?
already Sabrinaâs friend, Elizabeth Cushing, chimed in indignantly, âTomas, Turbo Impact is in shambles. What futute does Sabrina have if she stays? Why should she scrition her career for a dying tram?â
Tomasâ eyes glistened with unshed tears. For a long moment, be struggled to find the words. Then, his voice broke. âSabrina, Iâve poured all my savings into you these past two years. You promised me youâd treat me like a father and that youâd never leave Turbo Impact.â
His tone grew heavier as he continued, âBut now that youâve made a name for yourself, youâre abandoning the team and taking all its sponsorships with you. Do you think thatâs tait?â
Shirley finally understood the root of their argument.
Turbo Impact had been declining for the past two years. Sabrina was their only notable racer now.
Car racing was notoriously an expensive sport.
Rurming a team required funding for mechanics, engineers, and other staff. Larger teams even had their own repair facilities, all of which demanded substantial financial investment.
The primary sources of income for a racing team were twofold, rumming training programs and collecting registration fees or securing corporate sponsorships. Ordinary racers obviously canât attract sponsors. Only exceptional drivers who had made a name for themselves could draw in big sponsorship deals.
To achieve that kind of fame, a racer had to participate in numerous competitions, proving their worth through consistent results.
