Chapter 104 I wont miss it ! Portia exclaimed , her excitement bubbling over .
Calliope stood beside Portia , glued to the massive screen showing the race .
The competition was intense , the kind of action that had everyone on their feet , cheering and waving flags .
Calliopes eyes were on one particular car , her expression serious .
If things went the same as in her previous life , that car would be in trouble .
Go , Lance , go ! Lance is in the lead ! Portia was shouting encouragement for Lance , waving her flag enthusiastically .
Calliope glanced at her but kept her focus on the screen .
The moment was approaching .
It was about to happen if Calliopes calculations were correct .
Just as the crowd cheered , one of the cars seemed to malfunction .
In an instant , it veered off the road , flipping dramatically .
Oh my gosh! Car Number Three is in trouble ! Its flipping over ! No , its on fire ! Whose car is that ? I think its Nigel Howells car ! What ? Nigel ? You mean the Nigel from Howell Auction House ? Yeah ! Someone call 911 , quick ! If that car explodes , it will be a disaster ! Callie , where are you going ? Portias heart was pounding in her chest .
She turned to find Calliope already moving away .
She hurriedly followed , and her nerves were on edge .
Callie , what are you doing? Portia watched Calliope jump into a car .
Without hesitation , she climbed into the passenger seat , watching Calliope with wide eyes .
Saving someone .

Calliopes response was brief , her eyes as steady as a lake .
She floored the gas pedal , and they were speeding towards the scene before the crowd could grasp what was happening .
Nigel ? Portia blinked , confused .
Do you know him ? No , but Im about to , Calliope replied .
Her gaze was intense , and the car sped forward as if it had wings .
The race had come to an abrupt halt .
People crowded the scene of the accident .
Some called for help , others tried to assist , while a few watched in shock .
Nigels car was billowing smoke , and a few brave souls had attempted a rescue .
But the door was jammed , and despite their efforts and various tools , it refused to budge .
After several failed attempts , the rescuers had no choice but to retreat for their own safety .
1/2 14:59 Chapter 10 The doors stuck ! Isnt the fire department here yet ? Were running out of time ! Oh no , dont go near it .
It looks like its going to blow ! But Nigels still in there ! We cant do anything .
Going near it now would just risk our own lives ! Despite the urgency , no one dared to approach any closer .
The car was smoking more heavily , with flames starting to lick its exterior .
The risk of explosion was imminent .
Charging in recklessly could mean losing your life .
Besides , it was Nigel in that car , and everyone knew his reputation as a real piece of work .
No one thought it was worth risking their own life for him .
They had tried when there was still a chance , and that was enough to ease their consciences .
As Calliope and Portia raced towards the scene , the crowd had pulled back , unwilling to get any closer.
Valerian was among them , the sight of the unfolding disaster making his legs go limp .
Callie , its going to explode .
You shouldnt go ! Portia pleaded , grabbing Calliopes arm.
I have to , Calliope replied , narrowing her eyes .
Dont worry .
Nothings going to happen .
You stay here and be ready to call for an ambulance .
Ill have him out soon ! The firefighters are almost here .
Let them handle it ! Portia saw no one else was brave enough to step forward and didnt want Calliope to risk it .
But Calliope was already moving , striding determinedly towards the danger .
