Chapter 127 Totally Worth It.
The sound of tires skidding on gravel echoed like a siren of doom. Hugo's bike wobbled violently, swerving left and right as though possessed by some malevolent spirit.
A malevolent spirit that wanted nothing more but to turn Hugo into the same thing as it was!
His heart sank into his stomach as the world around him slowed to a crawl.
"No, no, no, no, NO!" Hugo screamed in his head, each word more desperate than the last. His fingers gripped the handlebars with the force of someone clinging to the edge of a cliff.
His eyes darted to Lisa up ahead, her bike speeding smoothly like a racehorse. He wasn't going to let her win. No way. Not today. Read the latest on empire
If she won, he was going to die. There was nothing more to be said. He had to ensure he won!
But his bike had other plans. The wobbling intensified. The bike tipped to one side, then the other, like a drunk goose trying to find its balance.
Hugo threw his weight back and forth with dramatic flair, arms flailing as though he could physically force the bike into submission.
"Stay with me, you useless hunk of metal!" he growled under his breath, sweat pouring down his face.
He wasn't a pro with bikes in the first place. He was a pro with cars, but that didn't extend to these two wheelers. He was reacting purely based on instincts and his sense of balance.
For a moment—a single, glorious moment—he thought he had it. The bike steadied. The world seemed to pause, granting him a brief, beautiful second of hope.
He could do this. He could absolutely do it!
Then his front wheel hit a rock.
GAME OVER!
Everything happened in slow motion. The handlebars slipped from his grip. The bike tipped dangerously to one side.
Hugo's face twisted in horror as he realized he was going down, and there was nothing he could do about it.
No matter how much he screamed or cursed, this was a battle against physics. Of course, he wasn't smart enough to win!
Except...
A crazed idea popped into his head. His eyes went bloodshot, his face twisting into a crazed expression of pure desperation.
Hugo's mind raced. He couldn't let her win. He wouldn't let her win. His eyes narrowed, a spark of ruthlessness igniting in his gaze. 'You still don't want to stay down? Fine. Let's see how you like this, you villain minor character! It's your fault for going against a protagonist with 3 layers of plot armour!'
A devious grin spread across his face as he decided to unleash his secret weapon. Without a second thought, Hugo reached out and delivered a firm, resounding spank to Lisa's backside.
The sound was crisp, sharp, and entirely too loud.
Lisa's eyes widened in shock, her steps faltering. She turned her head slightly, her mouth hanging open, but Hugo didn't look back.
He took advantage of her momentary pause and surged forward, crossing the finish line with a triumphant leap.
"YES!" Hugo shouted, throwing his arms up in victory. "I'm a genius! A legend! A—"
He didn't get to finish.
Lisa was already standing in front of him. For a split second, her face was calm, almost too calm.
Then her fist shot out.
The punch landed square on Hugo's jaw, sending him stumbling backward. He saw stars, the world spinning as his victorious thoughts crumbled into oblivion.
And as he hit the ground, Hugo had only one thought left: 'Totally worth it.'
