Chapter 471: Chapter 470 The Selection of Players for the Official Match

Frankie still wore his blue racing suit as he saw Lu You walking toward him. He straightened up and was about to speak when he suddenly noticed Chi Gui beside Lu You.

He paused.

Then, Frankie chuckled and shook his head, “How could I forget she’s a coach for your team… No wonder that familiar sense of dread I felt wasn’t just my imagination. I look forward to competing against you in the official race.”

Lu You smiled softly, “So do I.”

Afterward, Frankie made a point of greeting Chi Gui and then also greeted Kyle and Tasiris before turning back to his own team.

Upon returning to the club, Maxi and Rex had just entered the office when a thick file came flying at them.

Maxi didn’t dare dodge and took the hit, nearly crying from pain, but he could only grit his teeth and explain to the man behind the desk, “BOSS, it was purely an accident today. Ben Franzi underestimated Lu You’s strength, that’s all… In the official race, he will surely crush Lu You!”

Rex also hurriedly spoke, “Yes! Plus, the Racers World team has terminated their contract with our club, they’re practically defunct now. What counts in the coming official races is the performance of the entire team, relying solely on Lu You won’t be enough!”

However, mentioning that made the club’s owner even angrier, “Defunct?! Do you believe that after tonight, every rival club with sufficient resources will offer Racers World an olive branch, and if Kyle and Lu You are willing to sign, they’d allocate their best drivers to Racers World?!”

As Racers World’s former owner, the club’s BOSS knew better than anyone the profits that team could generate for the club.

If it hadn’t been for Lu You’s severe injury making it impossible for him to compete, he would never have agreed to terminate the contract with Racers World!

When he saw tonight’s race, he deeply regretted his decision, and that’s why he immediately came to confront Maxi and Rex!

Maxi and Rex shrank their necks under the scolding and quickly explained, “That won’t happen. The news of Lu You’s severe injuries had already spread throughout the Racing World. Even though he performed well tonight, other clubs wouldn’t dare to hastily sign his team. They will likely wait until the official races are over and confirm Lu You has truly recovered to his peak condition before making a move.”

From the moment Lu You was hospitalized, other clubs had repeatedly sent people openly and in secret to gather information–that was no rarity in the industry.

Even if another club’s ace driver had problems, they would send people to investigate the situation.

And Lu You’s complete recovery from life-threatening injuries in just twenty days was utterly inhuman; no club would dare to quickly approach him for affiliation.

That was one of the reasons Maxi and Rex were confident.

They just needed to get through the global league, and after that, this year’s major competitions would all be over.

Even if Racers World was signed by another club after that, they could hype up this race’s results during the next six months of the off-season, ensuring Maxi Team’s reputation completely overshadowed that of Racers World.

That way, even if Racers World tried to come back stronger next year, they wouldn’t be able to shake Maxi Team.

Chi Gui, Lu You, and others left the racetrack and returned to their temporary accommodation.

As they were leaving, she casually asked, “What are you going to do about the official races?”
