Chapter 358: Unable to withstand a single blow? ?
Hojo Rin waved her hand: "I'm fine, let's go."
Tang Xiong Yi Ze led Fujiwara Takumi and the others back to the restaurant where they had dinner before, and said to Fujiwara Takumi: "You didn't eat much last time, you must be hungry after the game, let's make up for it."
Hojo Rin's eyes lit up when he heard this. That's right, he had just eaten a few bites in a hurry before leaving in order to catch up with the competition. Now he was so happy to have another meal.
During the dinner, Tang Xiong Yize said, "I have something to tell you. I have formed a team and plan to participate in a competition, but I don't have enough people. I would like to invite you to join and participate together."
Fujiwara Takumi and the others exchanged glances and were quite interested in this proposal.
Fujiwara Takumi was particularly pleased with the invitation from Karao Izawa because he was banned from participating in the local race due to a dispute with the racing organizing committee. In other words, Takumi could not participate in any competitions here at the moment.
Tang Xiongyize proposed letting them join the team because he intended to take them to compete elsewhere, where the competitions were not under the jurisdiction of the racing organizing committee here.
Tang Xiong Yi Ze noticed that Fujiwara Takumi and Hojo Rin were talking in a low voice, so he asked Takumi: "Would you like to join my team?"
Takumi looked directly into Tang Xiong Yi Ze's eyes, nodded gently and said, "We are willing to join your team, but for some reason, we have been suspended by the racing committee here. Will this affect the race we participate in after joining your team?"
After listening to Takumi's words, Tang Xiong Yi Ze thought about it, then shook his head and said: "Don't worry, I can invite you to join and represent the team, and I will naturally help you solve these small problems."
Seeing that the problem was easily solved by Tang Xiong Yi Ze, Takumi and others smiled and said to them: "Then I'll leave it to you."
After a simple greeting, everyone started to eat. Tang Xiong Yi Ze had mentioned earlier that he would take them to the training ground after the meal to cultivate teamwork. So, Takumi and the others got in Tang Xiong Yi Ze's car and set off for the training ground. When they got in the car, a middle-aged man hurried over.
Tang Xiong Yize asked him: "Hello, sir, what can I do for you?"
The middle-aged man ignored Tang Xiong Yi Ze and moved closer to the car window. When he saw Fujiwara Takumi in the car, he said to him, "Hello, Mr. Fujiwara Takumi. I heard that you won the championship. I am a local racing reporter. Can I interview you now?"
Seeing that it was a reporter who wanted to interview him, Takumi quickly shook his head and refused: "I have something to do now. Let's do it another day. I'll accept your interview when I have the chance."
When the reporter saw Takumi's refusal, his face darkened: "I am willing to interview you because I am giving you face. Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit."
Seeing that the reporter was behaving abnormally, Tang Xiong Yize said nothing more, stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped away like an arrow from a bow. The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Under the guidance of Tang Xiong Yi Ze, Fujiwara Takumi and his party quickly arrived at the training ground.
Since Takumi was not the first driver recruited by Kara Xiong Izawa, many drivers who were practicing had gathered at the training ground. When they saw Takumi getting out of Kara Xiong Izawa's car, they recognized him as a new teammate and knew that he was banned, so they mocked Takumi in a joking manner, which made Uehara Mika very unhappy.
When Mika Uehara saw someone making rude remarks to Takumi, she immediately stood up and said to the person who was leading the taunting, "Who do you think you are? Why are you here pointing fingers at others?"
Upon hearing this, the other party sneered and counterattacked: "Even if I am not good enough, I can still improve myself through the competition. I am not like some people who were banned by the organizing committee for using despicable means."
"You, you just make sarcastic remarks without knowing the whole truth!"
Uehara Mika was furious with him, after all, Takumi was wronged by the organizing committee. Now the guy who led the ridicule used this incident to discredit Takumi, Mika could no longer tolerate it.
The leader's name was Yamashita. He introduced himself to Uehara Mika:
"My name is Yamashita. I am a racing driver with many years of experience and have been active in the events held by this racing organizing committee."
In my opinion, I have been here for so long, and I have only seen the fair side of the racing committee. I guess you are unhappy after being competed with by the racing committee, so you find this excuse to prove that you are not wrong. Anyway, I have seen many people like you. "
Uehara Mika was so angry at Yamashita's sarcasm that she said to him, "I don't even want to argue with you now. Anyway, we were wronged by the racing committee. Our innocence will be clear, and we will definitely find evidence to prove our innocence."
Yamashita looked at Uehara Mika's expression and said to her:
“You said you wanted to prove your innocence, so you might as well just show your strength. As long as you are strong enough, you don’t need to rely on the organizing committee to prove it. You are already the best racers.
If this is true, then let's have a race. As long as you can beat me, I will believe you and believe that you were wronged by the racing committee. What do you think? Do you dare to compete with me?"
Uehara Mika looked back at Fujiwara Takumi, who nodded and then stood up and said to Yamashita, "Okay, then we will compete with you. This is a good opportunity to show our strength. We don't need to rely on the organizing committee to prove anything because we are strong in ourselves. The strong don't need the weak to highlight us."
At this time, Uehara Mika spoke up and said to Yamashita: "Since it's a bet, let's add some spice."
Hearing that Uehara Mika wanted to bet with him, Yamashita's eyes lit up, because he was a gambler at heart. Although it was just a friendly match, adding some jackpot would make Yamashita more excited.
Yamashita said to Uehara Mika with great enthusiasm: "Okay, let's add a jackpot. What should we bet on? You decide."
Seeing Yamashita's excitement, Uehara Mika was a little puzzled, but she didn't want to miss this opportunity, so she said to Yamashita:
"The bet is that if you lose, you have to apologize to us publicly or even leave the club."
Yamashita couldn't help feeling hesitant after hearing the gamble proposed by Uehara Mika - if he lost, he would not only have to publicly admit his mistake to Fujiwara Takumi and the others, but would also have to quit the club that Tang Xiong Izawa had recruited them into.
After all, in order to get Yamashita to join, Tang Xiongyize offered very tempting conditions. As long as Yamashita could help him win the championship, he would get generous rewards.
Uehara Mika accidentally touched Yamashita's soft spot. She keenly noticed the strangeness in Yamashita's eyes, so she taunted him, "No way, no way, you were so arrogant just now, but now you're backing down? Didn't you say before that you wanted to compete to prove that you're better than us?
Are you afraid now because you might have to quit the club? It seems that you are really vulnerable. Not to mention your ability, your character is not up to par. "
