Chapter 425: To Go for Wool and Come Back Shorn
The onlookers almost instinctively closed their eyes; the scene was too cruel.
They didn’t dare to look at what was happening!
Even Cecilia tightly clenched her hands and uncontrollably ran towards the track.
"Adrian! Be careful—"
...
Everyone was worried about whether Adrian Law might encounter an accident, and nearly every spectator’s heart was in knots. Even Fiona couldn’t help but close her eyes uneasily.
The love for the strong is human nature. If Adrian Law weren’t so fixated on Cecilia, Fiona would have loved to make him her admirer.
"It’s so terrible... will The Eldest Young Master Law be alright?"
The only one with an uncontrollable smile at the corners of his mouth was Tyson Law.
Want to beat him?
No way!
Tyson Law had almost already imagined the scene in his mind of Adrian Law being thrown off the big black horse. He wanted Adrian Law to understand the consequences of being arrogant!
Great achievements require unscrupulous tactics!
He could completely attribute this accident to a misguided whip!
If luck was a bit worse and Adrian miraculously only suffered a fall and lost the race, he could still take over Law Corporation after gaining Adrian’s 10% shares!
If luck was even better, what if Adrian fell and was paralyzed or his life was endangered?!
Frank Law has only two sons, Adrian and him. If something big happened to Adrian, wouldn’t the company be directly handed over to him?
Why should he only manage some subsidiaries under the headquarters?
Why is it that in Law Group, everyone just mockingly calls him Young Mr. Law?
He’s only slightly three or four years younger than Adrian Law, so why should he become his stepping stone!
...
In these few short seconds, Tyson almost already envisioned his infinitely bright future in his mind.
However, the violent booming sound Tyson had expected did not occur.
Tyson looked up in astonishment, only to see that after the tall black horse raised its forelimbs high, Adrian Law had actually pulled the reins, and the big black horse quickly steadied itself.
The big black horse stepped forward, not choosing to gallop past, but instead, as if to vent, stomped cunningly on Tyson’s whip!
The crowd stared at this scene in disbelief, almost questioning their own eyes.
"Oh my, The Eldest Young Master Law is alright?"
"Not only is he alright, but Thundercloud is so unique! I’m dying of laughter! Look at Thundercloud’s disdainful little expression! It’s like the eyes of a horse can actually speak!"
"I’m dying from laughter too! It’s so fun, who said Thundercloud was fierce? It’s even despising other riders, how cute!"
As if to echo the laughter of the crowd, the big black horse raised its head, looked down at Tyson disdainfully, and let out a highly contemptuous neigh.
"Huff, huff—"
At the same time, it continued to stand on Tyson’s long whip with its hind hooves, revealing its proud personality.
...
In just a matter of half a minute, the situation took an abrupt turn!
Tyson Law was also shocked and wide-eyed, almost doubting if he was dreaming.
"Big... brother... I just accidentally made a mistake; are you okay..."
Seeing Adrian Law unharmed, Tyson’s complexion changed repeatedly, unsure whether to apologize or what to do.
As Tyson stammered without a coherent word, Adrian Law sat leisurely on the large black horse, casually holding the reins, with a face as calm as a cloud in the sky, showing no signs of the sudden crisis he had just faced.
"Do you know what it means to try to gain an advantage only to end up worse off?"
The man’s calm and distant voice echoed in the air, his tone so light that only he and Tyson could hear it.
Tyson was stunned, not yet realizing what had happened.
Suddenly, he felt enormous pressure under Thundercloud’s hoof, and Tyson not only couldn’t break free at the moment, but was also restrained and swayed unexpectedly!
The event happened in a flash, as Adrian gently patted the black horse, somehow urging Thundercloud to lift its hind hoof that was stamping on Tyson’s long whip.
The sleek, gleaming black horse suddenly let out a fierce neigh, leaped up with all four hooves like the Pegasus depicted in ancient paintings, and swiftly dashed towards the finish line.
The black horse’s agile figure and its rider’s tall silhouette complemented each other, forming the most beautiful painting in the world.
The man’s handsome eyebrows and eyes, driving the black horse, cut through the air, leaving trail after trail of black shadows.
...
The scene was so breathtaking that everyone was left dumbfounded, even forgetting to cheer for Adrian Law.
"Oh my god, The Eldest Young Master Law is so handsome, I want to marry him..."
"What kind of magical riding skill is this! It’s not like riding a horse, it’s like painting, unflustered at the life-and-death moment, so artistic and carefree!"
Not only the onlookers but even Cecilia, as Adrian Law’s day-to-day companion, watched in a daze.
If it weren’t for being mindful that it was still the competition scene, Cecilia would have wanted to find some pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and capture Adrian Law’s handsome figure on paper right then.
A painter also seeks inspiration; Adrian Law, at some point, had already become her greatest source of inspiration.
...
Tyson Law was dazed for a moment, the fact that he hadn’t harmed Adrian Law left him both fearful and timid. By the time he realized the race was still ongoing, he was already trailing slightly behind Adrian.
Seeing the finish line right in front of him, how could Tyson Law be willing to give up!
He repeated his old trick, ruthlessly whipping Morning Glory desperately.
However, Morning Glory had already reached its physical and mental limit, and the speed it was running at was already its maximum load. After another whip from Tyson, the horse finally couldn’t bear it and collapsed!
"Ah, what a useless horse! Save me—"
Unprepared, Tyson Law was harshly thrown onto the lawn, rolling over the ground in a disheveled state for two full turns!
...
Seeing Tyson Law end up like this, the people couldn’t bring themselves to sympathize with him at all!
He deserved it!
At the same time, Adrian Law elegantly crossed the finish line on Thundercloud!
No one went to help Tyson Law; instead, they couldn’t help cheering loudly for Adrian Law!
"The Eldest Young Master Law won! So amazing!"
"The Eldest Young Master Law is so mighty!"
In a chorus of cheers and applause, Tyson Law, who had fallen to the ground, received no attention, while Fiona, with her protruding belly, dared not run.
She almost pleaded as she looked at Cecilia.
"Sister, hurry and help Tyson Brother! He won’t be alright, will he?"
Seeing Fiona so anxious, Cecilia’s lips curled in a sarcastic smile.
"Sure, but first, hand over the spoils of victory?"
What spoils?
Seeing Cecilia staring at the pink diamond in her hand, Fiona’s face turned pale—
