Chapter 231
Hearing footsteps, Harvey turned his head and saw a woman in a racing suit approaching The bright daylight streamed in from behind him, casting light over his shoulders.
He recognized the helmet in her hand–it was Luna’s signature helmet. The deep midnight blue surface was adorned with a golden moon surrounded by stars.
Meanwhile, a large shadow obscured the upper half of her body. But as she stepped out of the darkness, Harvey instinctively held his breath
Luna wasn’t wearing her helmet. Which meant he was about to see her real face!
Elara also found it unexpected. Was Harvey waiting for her on purpose? She then came to a stop, remaining within the shadow.
The man turned fully toward her, one hand tucked into the pocket of his tailored trousers. His posture was upright, broad–shouldered, and imposing Under the perfectly fitted custom suit, every line of his physique seemed meticulously sculpted.
“I didn’t expect you to be someone who doesn’t keep their word, Luna. You didn’t come to my garage at the appointed time to pick up the cars you had your eye on. They’ve already been sold to new owners.”
This was only their second encounter, yet even Harvey could sense the undercurrent of hostility he harbored toward her. It was a destructive urge. An impulse to provoke her, to see her flustered, and to make her yield.
His stance was casual, but the sheer intensity of his presence was like a blade–sharp and undeniable.
His cold, penetrating gaze cut through the shadows surrounding Luna. It was as if he was trying to strip away the mystery that cloaked her.
“I’ll give you one last chance. I’ll pay you ten million per year to be Niarnh’s coach.
“I know she’s average, but I don’t need her to reach the pinnacle. My request is simple, which is to make her a nationally recognized racer within three years.”
This was the dream Dawn never got to fulfill. Now, Harvey intended for Niamh to complete it for her.
Harvey let out a mocking laugh before continuing, “You retired for five years, and now you suddenly decide to return by stepping onto the stage of an exhibition race? It’s nothing more than a money grab.
“But you’re past your prime. No team would ever invest in you the way Moonchaser did back then. Luna, the offer I’m giving you is the best deal you’ll find on the market today!”
Before he even finished speaking, Elara stepped out from the shadows. It was like a cinematic slow–motion sequence.
The darkness receded, first from her neck, then her shoulders, revealing her bit by bit. Harvey’s pupils dilated sharply. The once undefeated Eucon champion, the legendary Luna, was finally unveiling her true face before him.
There were countless moments when Elara had wanted to tell Harvey that it was she who drove Corona, that she had fought on the racetrack.
Back then, she had seen him leaning against the hood of Black Hole, with Dawn’s helmet and racing suit resting atop the engine cover.
His fingers held a glowing cigarette, the pale smoke shrouding his exhausted and desolate expression. Ashes drifted down by his feet.

She had walked toward him, her pregnant belly visibly round, only for Harvey to glance up and rasp coldly, “Stay away from me!”
She froze. Before she could even speak a word of comfort, his voice lashed out, filled with raw bitterness, “How many times have I told you to not come to the garage! Get out! Elara Jones, do you not understand human speech?”
Dawn’s sudden death had shattered Harvey. He shut down the Fishers‘ supercar garage, banning anyone from ever mentioning racing or sports cars in his presence again.
Only Niamh had repeatedly weaponized his best friend’s unfulfilled dream using her ties to Dawn. Yet now, entire focus was locked onto Luna’s face.

He had never paid much attention to women as he never found them particularly interesting. But the moment he realized he was about to see Luna’s true face, Harvey instinctively held his breath.
