The Luna Marked with Lies The Queen Crowned novel Chapter 129

I nodded, though I hesitated before speaking.

“Gregor used to be with Sparco Racing Team,” I explained. “I used to be art avid fan of the team myself.”

Before Gregor could elaborate further, I interrupted him.

“I mean, I used to follow the team closely,” I added hastily, trying to downplay my past as a racer.

I wasn’t ready to reveal that part of my life to Leo just yet.

Gregor glanced at me with a touch of confusion, but Leo’s frown deepened. “Liza?” he echoed.

“That’s an alias I use when I’m chasing stars,” I said, trying to steer the conversation away from my racing history.

It was a flimsy explanation, but it seemed to satisfy Leo for the moment.

I took Gregor aside, eager to have a private conversation.

“Let’s talk,” I said, leading him away from Leo.

Once we were out of earshot, Gregor’s face turned serious.

“After you retired, things went downhill fast for us,” he began. “A club called Flash Lighter Racing emerged out of nowhere. They’re financially powerful and have poached our drivers and staff. They’ve even used questionable methods to gather intel on tracks and competitors. Sparco Racing Team is now on the brink of bankruptcy.”

My heart sank at his words.

I had noticed that the team wasn’t as glamorous as it once was, but I hadn’t realized how dire the situation had become.

“Is there anything I can do to help?” I asked, my voice filled with concern.

Gregor shook his head, his face grim.

“If Leo pulls out, it’s game over for us. Bankruptcy would be inevitable.”

I remembered the past vividly–my time working in a game hall where Gregor had first seen me.

Back then, he had been bored and selected me to play a racing game.

Despite being a novice, I had beaten him and showcased my racing talent.

It was that moment that had led to my introduction to the world of racing.

If Gregor hadn’t noticed me, I might never have become a racer at all.

Sparco Racing Team, the place that marked the true beginning of my life, I could never watch it go so broke.

In fact, I’ve been thinking about this ever since the last street race.

Why can’t I be more of a “Elizabeth the Racer“?

Chapter 129

Determined to make a difference, I made up my mind.

“I’m going to return as a Sparco Racing Team driver,” I declared.

Gregor’s eyes lit up with astonishment and joy.

“Really? That’s incredible!” he exclaimed. “The return of legendary racer Liza will breathe new life into the feat. We may even attract new endorsements as a result, which should now also enable us to pull in a lot of sponsorship from investors, thus helping the team to survive this crisis.”

His excitement was palpable.

He looked like a man who had been given a lifeline.

He shook my hand vigorously, his face beaming with gratitude.

“Thank you, Liza. This could turn everything around for us.”

We quickly made plans to start training the next day.

Gregor’s enthusiasm was infectious, and I found myself looking forward to returning to the track.

The next morning, I arrived at the training venue.

The place was familiar, filled with memories of my racing days.

Gregor was there to greet me, a broad smile on his face.
