Leo was right. Gambling was so popular for F1, just like the World Cup.
So many rich businessmen betted on Jordan.
In one report by the media, Jordan's identity was disclosed. Soon all the people knew that he was Joseph's brother and also one of the shareholders of the Runestone Group. People were guessing whether the sponsor behind him was his brother Joseph.
It didn't matter now.
Except for rich businessmen, many racing fans also bet on Jordan. The reason was very simple. They supposed that Joseph had allowed his brother to do racing, which proved that Joseph had an idea about Jordan's skills, so they were also willing to believe that Jordan could be a dark horse in this competition.
Irish now experienced what was struggling.
Time passed second by second. She felt it was so long.
During the next several rounds, even as an outsider, she could figure out that Jordan was trying his best to catch up. Her heart even stopped beating.
Michael didn't make it difficult for Jordan; instead, he cooperated with Jordan well. They were warding the driver next to them, making it hard for him to surpass them.
When Michael rushed forward, Jordan would follow him and make a short distance between each other. Jordan played the fullback role in this way, intercepting their competitor to the middle.
When Jordan rushed forward, Michael also adopted this way.
Several accidents occurred one by one in the heavy rain. In the end, the most competitive 15 racing car drivers were left.
No incidents occurred again most of the time. They were all experienced car racers.
But when Irish was a little relieved, she heard the great noise. She couldn't help screaming out when she found out about the situation.
Two cars were so close that they bumped together when it was at the blind curve. This time, unlike the previous flip, was great for rushing at the fastest speed. When these two crashed, one of them rose up and turned to the other side of the driveway.
The vehicles behind didn't realize this situation, so they immediately acted swiftly. But, unfortunately, the great impulse made the whole body turn over and crash into another vehicle.
All in all, five cars crashed.
All the audience was startled.
Jordan!
Irish opened her eyes, staring at the No. 1 vehicle rushing.
Everything happened so quickly that one had no time to notice the progress.
As Jordan's car passed over the writhing one, it crashed onto the floor immediately and exploded. Jordan would have been in trouble if he had been slow for even one second.
It would be the same case for the front vehicles.
Several cars just crashed into each other. It was so serious. Jordan just threw them off quickly and passed through the narrow way like a ray of lightning rushing to the front.
Such a beautiful dodge just happened in only two or three seconds. The quickness was so startling. Jordan had stood out, and Joseph finally recovered himself.
Soon a crowd of the audience stood up from their seats and cheered for Jordan.
Jordan took the opportunity to rush to the front, but Michael was not so lucky. After throwing away competitors' pursuits, he tried to surpass Jordan, but obviously, he was too anxious. He planned to make it through the passage between two vehicles, only to lead to three cars running simultaneously, and at the next second, it crashed into another.
The third vehicle escaped from the accident.
Michael escaped the accident smoothly, shaking his head helplessly in the rain.
The game was so challenging.
Only ten out of 22 participants were left.
It was easy to imagine that "a horrifying competition" would be used as the headline by the media. Indeed, the competition had so many accidents, and heavy rain pushed all the competitors to the verge of death.
Irish felt like she was thrown into the sky and then fell down. The great gravity made her stressed all the time. Then, as Jordan rushed out of the spot, she fell down softly, and she had only the strength to take a deep breath.
The audiences were like experiencing a great catastrophe by themselves. They were all exhausted, let alone those participants. Jordan had escaped danger in this case, proving he was so strong in physical energy and psychology.
Leo finally got released. He sat back in his seat. Sweat was in his hands.
Irish recovered after a great while. She only felt cold, and as she lowered her head, she found that she clenched Joseph's hands so tightly that they got swollen. Joseph still kept stressed, closing his lips and staring at the big screen.
She was immersed in deep thinking. Joseph was known to only value the result instead of the progress. He kept this kind of attitude both to his employees and to work.
He only wanted the most satisfying result no matter what method was adopted, as long as it was legal and moral. But today, he was serious all the time.
At this moment, he wanted not the result but the progress.
Security was the most important as his own brother's life was at stake.
As it was around the corner, grabbing between competitive drivers happened.
Jordan was the only freshman left competing.
Irish clenched her fists, murmuring, "He must be the champion. He must be the champion."
And then she looked at Joseph, "Do you believe it or not?"
Joseph kept watching the big screen.
Seeing the scenes, he frowned.
After a while, Joseph said, "Now Jordan is the only one to fight. It's not good."
Irish felt shocked, "Oh no. Jordan was alone before. Just trust him!"
"Other teams may make solutions regarding Jordan's strategy," Joseph said with a low voice.
Leo carefully checked the remaining teams, pointing at the screen, "It has begun."
Irish felt uneasy breathing, looking at the screen.
Three cars followed Jordan closely, one trying to catch up with him while two others didn't come forward.
"Are they on the same team? What are they doing?" Irish did not feel good.
Leo explained, "It is like a football game. Unregulated cases often happen at the end of the game. Jordan is the only one in the G team, while behind him is one team working together to defeat him. So they can fully take advantage of the driveway to make the crash occur, and their target is Jordan."
Irish took a deep breath, "Can it be possible?"
"Game is game. There are no rules like fair or not." Leo said as he looked at Irish.
