Almighty Father System-Chapter 335: Conspiracy.

Leo took the first position in the sprint and then he moved the car directly to the paddocks. Theo followed behind him and appeared in the paddocks shortly. The two of them met and Theo approached him with a tired face. Leo patted the man on shoulder and said, "You have worked hard Theo."

Theo shook his head and replied, "I have been faltering for a long time, Boss. The races I managed to win were because Jin slipped up. I have not taken the pole in qualifiers even when I know that my car is better than his. I am very doubtful."

Leo shook his head and replied, "Your problem is that you are relying too much on your car. You must understand, you are a better driver than Jin. You have been taking second consistently, and in this race, you managed to gain the pole position in the qualifiers because you are confident and getting used to the car.

If you still have doubts, then work with me tomorrow, I will help you realize your potential. Also, I am only here because Viktor Henesi is trying to act out against the company in the background. I will pacify him and then go back to my slow life. You guys are the faces and the roots that hold this team together."

Theo nodded with a grateful expression on his face, and at this moment Lily came over and looked at Leo. She asked, "Baba, can I get an autograph from Uncle Theo? The boys in my class are all his fans. If I went back with the autograph, I will gain a lot of prestige."

The people chuckled and Theo said, "Yes, how about I take a picture with you and we post it on Mygram?"

Lily cheered and said, "Uncle Theo, you are the ninth best person in the world."

Theo was confused and asked, "Who are other best people?"

Lily said, "First is Baba, second is Ma, third is Grandma, fourth is Aunt Frag, fifth is Sister Zee, sixth is Miss Verse, seventh is Momo because she gets moody at times, eighth is Uncles on Security team, Ninth is you."

Leo shook his head and said, "Quickly click the picture, then we will go back to the hotel. The race will be tiring and everyone needs to rest."

Lily got to work, she quickly clicked the picture, and Theo also gave her a cap with his sign on it. Lily cheered and then they retired to the hotel.

...

The news of Leo's feat reached Henesi top brass and then it was given to Viktor Henesi, who was having a drink in his luxurious mansion. As soon as he heard that Leo had taken the steering wheel, he flung the crystal glass in his hands directly at the wall causing the glass to break and the fragments spread all over the room.

Viktor looked out the window and said, "Since you want to mess with me, I will show you what I am capable of. You and your lousy battery cars can fuck off to hell."

...

The night passed very calmly, Leo slept after being massaged by Lily. Early in the morning, he went to the hotel gym and jogged for a bit before doing some weight training. His routines were not as exaggerated like they were before but the young man was keeping at it to maintain his body and physicality.

After the breakfast, they all headed to the Race Track. Lily sat down with Snow near the monitoring station and Leo went to the dressing room to get ready. He met Theo inside, who was fidgety and Leo patted the man on his shoulder as he said, "Don't think so much. Just take it on the go. If you think too much you will be left behind. When you drive, remember the sensation when you first came to love the thing. You are not a strategist Theo, that task is for the race engineers. Your task is to get in the car, and try to be the fastest man on the asphalt. Trust yourself and it would be fine."

Theo took a deep breath and said, "I know."

Leo's pep talk had little effect on him, and the former noticed this before he said, "How about I catch up to you the fastest I can, will you believe me then?"

Theo nodded, and replied, "Yes, I will try my best."

Leo nodded and the two of them headed out. The team had already pushed the cars out to the starting line and the drivers all walked out of the paddock lane and got inside the cars. Leo was situated in the back because even if he won the sprint, that had nothing to do with his qualifying time. To win the pole position he would need to take the first position.

The lights turned on and the staff rushed away.

...

In the commentary box, the people had taken their positions and one of them said, "Welcome to the Sakura Grand Prix, this is Tom Jones, and beside me is my old friend and also one of the legends in the racing galore, Mikhail Hakanin. The skies are clear and it looks like everyone will be racing on Soft Compounds.

With Theo Carvalo and Jin Kasami in the run to grab the championship trophy. There is also Hanami Jintaro, and David Bow, who performed rather well in the qualifiers and they have taken up P3 and P4, respectively. They have a strong chance to get the podium tonight. What do you think, Mickey."

Mikhail Hakanin replied in a rather deep voice, "I am not sure what you are going on about here mate, but looking at the back of the pack, my eyes cannot help but recall the fabulous chase performed by Leo Cardinal. Many think that he might have been able to do that in the sprint but now he would not be able to make any ripples, but I think that is all to speculate when the race has finished.

Apart from Cardinal, there is Karma Chic, and Juan Corbin, they are sitting in the top ten but they have given a strong competition to the people in the lead and specially Jin Kasami. So, I will not put my bet on anyone just yet, and wait for the battle to end."

Tom Jones said, "Well said, now ladies and gentlemen the lights are on, and let's see who takes away the trophy tonight."

Mikhail Hakanin said, "The lights are out and we are off! Leo Cardinal showing the perfect launch skill and he has jumped four positions this time." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Tom Jones clicked his tongue and said, "Theo Trident is also taking the lead and he is already three car lengths ahead of Jin. All this just at the start, I love this game."

...

Leo jumped through the cars, but he didn't continue to push forward because his danger perception tingled as soon as he pressed the accelerator. Just as he took his foot away, he turned to his right and the car in the front braked and Leo used this moment to get past him, as he said, "Is Hamad fucking drunk? He just brake tested me!"

Liam replied, "I saw, we will communicate with the Steads later now that you are ahead of him, focus on the race."

Leo didn't reply but he was fucking pissed off at this action. He pushed the throttle and entered the turn faster than usual and after touching the apex he moved out of the second quick turn.

...

Nikki Saint frowned and then he said, "This was odd, the stretch was clear, why did he brake all of a sudden? Could it be a car issue?"

The crew chief beside him shook his head and said, "Isn't he chasing Leo just fine now?"

...

Leo moved through the track and his performance was the same as the Sprint, even better than that, he was moving over to the lead on a better speed and time. His reactions were faster. Just as he entered the top ten, another racer from the stead team rushed over at him from the left.

The young man had to brake and then move through the other side as he said, "Liam, get the race referee now. Is this whole team filled with drunkards and donkeys? This was my turn and he charged in from the blind spot."

He quickly caught up to the top five, and then moved over to catch the top five. His movement was even faster than the people experienced.

...

Nikki Saint stood up and said, "Marco, get the referee here and tell them what is going on. If they don't comply then go public with the data. I want the drivers penalized for this unsportsmanlike conduct and endangering the life of the fellow driver. This is a dangerous sport, and mistakes like this cost lives."

Marco was the crew chief and he nodded as he said, "Yes, Mister Saint."
