Chapter 423: What to Do When Sudden Animal Instincts Take Over?
The manager of the racetrack never expected Adrian Law to pick such a "troublesome relic" after such a long time!
This Thundercloud was a wild horse captured in a basin in Midor. It was brought here only after being sedated.
According to experts who were consulted, Thundercloud is what the ancients called a famous Valerian steed, invaluable, but unfortunately, it’s too wild to tame. It has kicked two horse trainers to death and injured countless horse enthusiasts who tried to tame or approach it.
Eventually, no one dared to provoke this wild overlord!
...
The manager watched Adrian Law nervously, keeping a good two-meter distance. No way around it — the Thundercloud beneath Adrian was just too fierce, and the manager didn’t want to unwittingly meet his end!
"Mr. Law! Please dismount! We can offer you a well-trained Akhal-Teke, just as impressive as your brother’s Morning Glory!"
If seeing Tyson Law leading out Morning Glory made everyone admire his eye for horses, then seeing Adrian Law choose the unruly Thundercloud made them question if he had a death wish!
Adrian Law sat astride Thundercloud, his dark eyebrows like a painting, and his phoenix eyes dazzling in the sunlight.
"No need to change. You call it Thundercloud? A good name. I think this little guy suits me."
"..."
Really, calling this a little guy?!
The "little guy" you’re riding has caused quite a few fatalities!
Everyone shivered deeply, for the first time wanting to question whether Adrian Law’s mind was structured differently from normal.
But with one glance, they realized Adrian Law was indeed incomparable to ordinary people.
This Valerian good steed, which normally kicked everyone in sight, now calmly let Adrian Law hold the reins and sit on it, as if it suddenly found its destined owner.
The man, dressed in a dark sleek outfit with elegant rein movements, looked so composed. Thundercloud seemed to like him, occasionally shaking its obsidian-like shining mane.
Both the man and the horse exuded a noble luxury, inexplicably making people want to bow in homage.
But is this not just the calm before the storm?
What if Thundercloud suddenly goes wild and throws The Eldest Young Master Law off?
It wouldn’t be the first time something like this happened.
...
Everyone was deeply worried as Adrian Law already passed by them, directly riding Thundercloud towards Cecilia Vaughn.
"Cecilia, sorry I’m late."
Cecilia’s gaze followed the man’s handsome figure, enchanted by Adrian Law’s riding outfit.
"It’s okay, Adrian. I believe you’ll win!" Cecilia said, her gaze shifting to the fine steed beneath the man: "Adrian, may I touch it?"
Though others said how fierce Thundercloud was, Cecilia only felt its docility, as if this horse was naturally meant to belong to Adrian Law.
"Sure, it’s fine. Go ahead."
Smiling, the man leaned down, actively placing Cecilia’s hand on the horse’s silkily bright black fur.
Cecilia couldn’t help but rub it. Thundercloud stomped a hoof, startling everyone, fearing that Cecilia might perish unluckily.
Some even closed their eyes, not daring to watch the scene.
But when they opened their eyes, they saw Thundercloud very obediently nudging Cecilia’s hand with its head.
Everyone: "..."
They truly doubted their eyes.
Has this king of horses turned tame today? Or does a wild horse care about appearances too?
This appearance-driven world is hopeless...
...
Everyone’s minds were in a jumble, but no one dared to step closer to Thundercloud.
Joking aside, even if Adrian Law and Cecilia Vaughn are courageous, they weren’t about to risk their lives as guinea pigs for such a matter!
Cecilia was quite satisfied after stroking Thundercloud’s fluffy black head.
"Alright, Adrian, go to the competition."
Adrian Law gazed deeply at Cecilia Vaughn. He extended his long arm, drawing the girl into his embrace.
"Cecilia, isn’t it too hasty of you to let me go just like that, hmm?"
The man’s eyes seemed to hold a starry sky, stirring Cecilia’s heart slightly. Unable to help herself, she tiptoed, attempting to kiss the man’s lips.
But Adrian Law was too tall, and without wearing heels, she managed only to graze his chin.
Cecilia couldn’t help but be a little annoyed, her ears tinged pink.
"You don’t even know to cooperate a little."
"Alright, alright, I’ll cooperate."
Adrian Law laughed softly, his sensual low voice almost stirring the heart. He lowered his head, gently licking Cecilia’s lips with his thin ones.
It was merely a lip-to-lip peck.
But the way Adrian Law held the girl’s waist was so devout, as he lowered his gaze and smiled faintly, endlessly exuding his charm.
"Cecilia, my goddess of luck, I promise you won’t be disappointed."
Watching this scene, everyone, regardless of gender, felt as if their hearts were struck by lightning!
Wow, they are such a perfect match!
Even the protagonists in idol dramas wouldn’t spark such an exhilarating romance.
Why does watching this make one want desperately to find someone to fall in love with?
...
And Adrian Law said this simply, then gently patted the horse, elegantly steering Thundercloud to the starting line of the track.
Tyson Law naturally noticed the lucky goddess kiss just shared between Adrian Law and Cecilia Vaughn. Seeing Cecilia smile brightly here, and her cheering gesture, his heart stilled momentarily.
He’d never seen Cecilia looking at a man with such loving affection, heart and soul dedicated to one, not even back in high school.
Has Cecilia really fallen in love with his big brother?
If the two of them were merely pretending, could they have acted so well?
...
Tyson Law’s eyes were deeply shaded, and he couldn’t help but scrutinize Adrian Law sitting atop Thundercloud from head to toe.
People said his half-brother was gay or impotent; Tyson Law never wanted those rumors to be true more than now.
"Why are you looking at me?"
Adrian Law cast a cool glance at Tyson Law,
"The race is about to start. Do you want to waste those twenty seconds?"
Tyson Law jolted awake immediately.
"Oh, oh, okay!"
Joking — a free advantage shouldn’t be wasted!
...
The Thundercloud beneath Adrian Law seemed displeased with Tyson Law, suddenly letting out a long neigh.
The towering black steed exhaled loudly, its voice intimidating.
Tyson Law’s body shuddered, nearly slipping off his white horse Morning Glory.
Upon seeing this, everyone burst into laughter.
"Second Young Master Law, you’re too frail!"
"Steady up! We’ve all bet on you!"
Tyson Law felt embarrassed, and as the referee gave the signal, his eyes lit up, and he urged Morning Glory to dash forward eagerly!
A twenty-second head start!
He’s got this in the bag!
