Chapter 41 Chapter 41 Just Give Up Brenna picked a new horse, one that had never competed before. It was a sleek bay horse, though not as docile as Ethan's "T'll choose this one," Brenna said.

The attendant smiled and led the horse out for her. "You've got a good eye. Champion horses are more reliable, but new ones have untapped potential. Best of luck!" As Brenna guided the horse outside, the roar of the crowd hit her. The cheers swelled, growing louder with each lap.

She turned toward the racetrack. A rider on a striking white horse surged ahead, leaving the others behind The rider, a foreigner, moved with perfect balance as the horse sped past Brenna.

He was Alex.

"Whoa, Alex!" Isabella shrieked while waving her arms wildly. "Jordy, he's my absolute favorite rider! I can't believe I'm competing alongside him today. What an honor!" She bounced on her toes, barely able to contain her excitement.

Brenna shot her a look of contempt The crowd was electric. It wasn't just Isabella. Alex had a legion of fans.

People were on their feet, screaming and waving Orwall flags.

Alex's image lit up the massive electronic screens around the venue. Moments later, the updated race rankings flashed across them, sending the crowd into an even bigger frenzy.

In just minutes, Alex had secured first place in the ninth group without breaking a sweat. If he won the finals, he'd be the day's champion.

As soon as the race ended, a wave of people rushed to place bets on Alex. His popularity was at an all-thigh.

Even Isabella added to her wager.

After crossing the finish line, Alex took a victory lap around the arena. Then, without warning, he snatched a megaphone from a staff member and shouted, "Idiots! Idiots!" He then began flipping off the crowd.

The atmosphere shifted in an instant. The cheers from before dissolved into a restless murmur. People poin at Alex, their faces twisted in outrage. How dare he insult his fans from Belden? This was outrageous! 000 21.03 Chapter 41 Just Ove Up "Night, cout!" Alex taunted, ignoring the growing hostility toward him "Night, cout! Don't be a coward!" Staff members sprinted alongside his horse to intervene. "Mr. Epinoza, please mind your words!" But Alex didn't care. He shoved off their warnings and even swung his riding crop at them.

The staff members had no choice but to back away.

"Get out of Belden!" "Leave!" "You're not welchere!" The crowd's admiration toward Alex soured into outrage.

Shouts erupted from the stands as speople were unable to hold back their fury.

But Alex acted as if he hadn't heard a thing. He kept flipping them off, and his voice boomed through the megaphone. "Night, cout! What's wrong? Scared?" Two years ago, in Valport, Night had been the only rider to ever defeat him. Alex never accepted that loss. He had been itching for a rematch ever since.

But after that race, Night had disappeared without a trace.

All Alex knew was that Night was from Belden. He didn't know Night's real nor anything else about her. So he did the only thing he could-keep competing, keep winning, and keep calling Night out. He hoped that one day he would encounter Night again "Let's compete again and settle this once and for all!" Alex shouted and flipped off the crowd again. His bad attitude was repulsive.

Brenna merely watched what was happening with steely determination.

ce was about to begin. Contestants' profiles flashed across the massive screens. Then, suddenly, The next race Alex froze.

There in the tenth group was Night

Alex's expression shifted in an instant. The cocky bravado vanished, replaced by an eerie calm. Without NO another word, he turned his horse and rode off, saving his energy for the finals "Night, you'd better win this round. Otherwise, you're not worth my time," Alex muttered.

Brenna'swung onto her horse with practiced ease and positioned herself at the starting line alongside the other nine riders.

Isabella, on the other hand, fumbled onto her saddle. Her clumsy mounting drew laughter from the stands Face burning in embarrassment, she turned to Jordy and murmured, "Jordy, people are laughing at me."

Jordy was embarrassed, too. He felt a pang of regret. Letting Isabellam compete suddenly didn't seem like such a good idea now 21.03 voice from the stands cut through "If you can't r Isabella heard it loud and clear. She didn't have the energy to focus on Brenna now she had seen Brenna mount earlier-smooth, confident, and effortless Brenna clearly knew how to ride a horse Isabella's legs started to shake, and her grip on the reins faltered.

Just then, the starting gun fired. Nine horses surged forward like arrows, thundering down the track. However, Isabella's horse didn't move.

"Con... Isabella's face burned as she yanked at the reins "Move, please." Laughter exploded from the stands.

"Just give up!" someone jeered.
