The train driver in the courtyard

After the game.

The Sweetheart team was completely panicked.

They lost the chaotic battle, which allowed Li Aiguo, the team captain of the Red Star team, to win the championship.

In contrast, Soichiro, the captain of the Ben Sweet Racing Team, is still lying in the hospital and unable to get up.

More importantly, the Isle of Man race officials, after investigation, determined that the previous championships won by the Ben Sweet team were all obtained through cheating and will be revoked.

It's worth noting that Ben Sweet's high-end motorcycles are sold worldwide thanks to the prestigious Isle of Man TT championship.

Countless motorcycle enthusiasts paid for this "track champion" title. Now that the brand is gone, it's like cutting off their source of income.

Anxious.

This time, Ben Tiansheng is really anxious.

He flew to the Isle of Man that same day, met with the officials of the Isle of Man tournament, and after bowing and scraping to demonstrate his humility, he pleaded with the officials not to cancel the champions.

"I've seen far too many petty officials who offer only superficial apologies without any genuine remorse. In Eastern terms, this is called 'having small courtesies but no real principles.' The decision to disqualify the champion is already in effect and there is absolutely no possibility of reversal," was the Isle of Man official's straightforward response.

Ben Tiansheng felt as if the surroundings had suddenly gone dark.

To win the Isle of Man TT championship, Bentian Company invested countless human and material resources, and even used the connections of the bereaved families association.

As a result, not only did they fail to win a new championship, but they also lost all their past honors.

"Damn Li Aiguo, you're too ruthless!" Ben Tiansheng couldn't catch her breath, her vision went black, and she fainted on the ground.

The Isle of Man TT is a top-tier event that attracts global attention, and the official announcement immediately caused a huge stir around the world.

"Our Sweetheart Racing Team's championship titles have all been revoked!"

Shocking Inside Story: The Cheating Methods of the Sweetheart Racing Team Exposed

"Trampling on Fairness! This Sweetheart team has ruined the purity of the Isle of Man race..."

The news dominated the front pages of major media outlets, causing a public outcry.

Those runners-up from those years, now that Bentian Racing Team has been disqualified, have naturally become the champions. Faced with this honor that fell from the sky, all those teams are overjoyed.

"The Red Star Motorcade are good people."

"Let's go to the Isle of Man and invite Li Aiguo for drinks."

"Ahem, what drinking? It's a competition of driving skills."

A large group of race car drivers arrived at the Isle of Man, but they couldn't find Li Aiguo.

Where is he? Li Aiguo is already in the suburbs of London.

Here, the super club invested and built by Hextech is nearing completion.

A gold-plated sign reading "Red Star Supercar Club" stands prominently at the entrance, exuding grandeur.

The club operates on a strict membership system; non-members can only observe from a distance outside the fence and are not even allowed to get close.

Despite its name being a supercar club, it actually covers all aspects of "land, sea, and air".

Supercars, super motorcycles, and in the future, yachts, airplanes, and the like.

Ever since the Queen began frequently driving her limousine around town, Hextech cars have gained increasing influence within the John Bull family's aristocratic circles.

Taking advantage of the recent end of the Isle of Man TT race, Lou Xiao'e launched a global advertising campaign, even allowing reporters to tour the sports car, the Red Star Double R, and experience the speed and passion firsthand.

Red Star Supercar Club plans to establish branches around the world.

Those who can obtain a membership card are all prominent figures from various regions. The club also regularly hosts high-end gatherings and has exclusive hotels for members.

With this series of combined moves, the Red Star Supercar Club quickly became a sensation.

In this day and age, both old and new money from overseas are truly wealthy, and they're begging to invest, not for anything else but to obtain veteran membership status.

The Red Star Club has several membership levels, including veteran members, lifetime members, platinum, diamond, gold, and bronze.

In fact, veteran members and lifetime members do not need to be reviewed.

The other membership levels have strict requirements every year, and those who don't meet the requirements will be expelled from the membership, so as not to embarrass this high-end circle.

No one knew that the core purpose of the Red Star Club was not simply to make a profit, but to build a high-end network of contacts covering the globe.

This is essentially an upgraded version of Hextech's distributor network. In the future, whether it's technology output, market expansion, or resource integration, everything can be accomplished efficiently through this network.

Li Aiguo was going back to China, so the club's subsequent operations were naturally handed over to Yang Jizong.

According to the comrades here, Yang Jizong has now become a celebrity in the John Bull family and is dating a duke's daughter, but no one knows which one it is.

"Patriotism, the plane is booked. It's a flight for tomorrow. Let's fly to the port city first, and then go back." Old Cat knocked on the door early in the morning.

"What about Kurokawa? What was his choice?" Li Aiguo stood up from his chair and asked.

"Kurokawa has decided to stay on the Isle of Man and serve as a practice partner for our Red Star team."

After Kurokawa betrayed the Ben Sweet Racing Team, he definitely can't go back to them.

Kurokawa's sister has been taken out of the University of Tokyo by Itachi's people and her identity has been changed.

Li Aiguo gave Kurokawa two choices: return to the Japanese or stay on the Isle of Man.

Red Star Racing has now confirmed its participation in next year's Isle of Man TT.

Although Kurokawa can no longer be a race car driver due to a hand injury, he is a professionally trained race car driver with rich racing experience, making him the perfect person to guide team members in training and refining tactics.

As they were chatting, Zhou Ke pushed open the door and came in, smiling as he suggested, "Brother Aiguo, we've come all this way to England, shouldn't we buy some local specialties to take back with us? A gift for your wife and the kids."

“Let’s go, that’s exactly what I was thinking.” Li Aiguo nodded.

The organization approved a special foreign exchange quota for this trip, which was entirely compliant with regulations for purchasing souvenirs and could not be considered a violation.

The young men in the convoy were also very happy to hear that they could go out shopping.

Team leader Zhao was worried that something might happen, so he specially asked a local to accompany them.

Everyone went to the department store, but didn't buy anything expensive; they mostly bought local trinkets.

This world is so unfair; some people are happy while others are depressed.

While Li Aiguo was happily shopping, Soichiro, whose injuries had not yet fully healed, also embarked on his journey back to the Japanese peninsula.

This time, however, he was not able to board a comfortable private jet. Instead, he was half-supported and half-carried, staggering onto a turbulent ocean cargo ship.

The cargo ship sailed into the vast international sea.

Soichiro's heart felt like it was being repeatedly pounded by giant waves, making him increasingly uneasy. Several times he wanted to push open the cabin door to go out for some fresh air, but each time he was stopped by Takeda's men guarding the door.

The excuse was simple: they were worried that Soichiro's injuries would relapse, but Soichiro had already realized the danger.

"Damn Li Aiguo, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this state." Inside the cabin, Zong Yilang slammed his fist hard on the table.

The night was as dark as ink, and a fierce wind howled across the sea, with huge waves crashing and the cargo ship rocking violently between the crests and troughs.

Suddenly, the hatch was pushed open from the outside.

Two men in black suits walked in expressionlessly, their eyes fixed on Soichiro.

"Please come with us."

Soichiro's heart skipped a beat, and a chill ran down his spine to the top of his head.

He subconsciously turned his head to look out the porthole, saw the sea outside, and the thought of escaping was extinguished as soon as it popped into his head.

He could only stand up, pale-faced, and obediently follow the two men in black suits onto the bumpy deck.

A figure stood by the railing, his back to him, the sea breeze whipping his clothes in the wind.

That figure was none other than Takeda.

Before Takeda could speak, Soichiro interjected, "Takeda-kun, don't worry! Once I'm fully recovered, I'll train like crazy! I'll definitely beat Li Aiguo of the Red Star team in next year's Isle of Man TT and reclaim all the glory that belongs to us!"

"It's too late." Takeda slowly turned around, his face devoid of any warmth: "It's all too late."

"Do you know what? Our Remnant Clan Association originally wanted to use this competition to gain momentum and let everyone see that the group of people in the east are nothing but trash that can't be defeated!"

But precisely because of you, this good-for-nothing, the Red Star Motorcycle Team has garnered immense support and become incredibly popular! Can you believe it? A Red Star Motorcycle Enthusiast Club has even appeared!

Takeda's voice suddenly rose: "The Bereaved Families Association is very angry! The consequences will be severe!"

The dim deck lights flickered, making the hideous scar on his face stand out even more.

Soichiro was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a thud on the cold deck.

"Takeda-kun! Please give me another chance! I am the top racer in our Sweet Racing Team. I can still serve the team and bring glory to the Bereaved Families Association!"

Takeda seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world: "You don't know yet? This Sweetheart Racing Team is already preparing to disband."

These words struck Soichiro like a thunderbolt.

He froze on the spot, his blood seemingly freezing instantly. After a long while, he slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"This...how is this possible?"

Bentian Motorcycle Team is the largest motorcycle team in Bentian's area, and it's the lifeblood of Bentian Company.

“Why not?” Takeda sneered, his words piercing to the heart.

"It's all because of you! All of the championship titles of the Ben Sweet Team have been stripped, and they have been permanently banned from participating in any international races!"
What's the point of keeping such a notorious and worthless racing team?

Would our surviving descendants tolerate the existence of something useless?

"I...I..." Soichiro's teeth began to chatter uncontrollably.

He finally realized that he had no value left.

He took several deep breaths, trying to suppress the panic surging in his chest: "I'm Chairman Bentian's son-in-law! You...you can't kill me!"

"Heh." Takeda let out a short, cold chuckle, slowly approaching. "Looks like I forgot to tell you—"

He leaned down, close to Souichirou's ear, and said, in a voice only the two of them could hear, word by word, "It was I, Sweetie, who personally handed you over to me. Also, I'll give you some extra information: I've decided to marry off Miss Kaoru. And who is..."

Before he could finish speaking, Takeda suddenly straightened up, his large hand gripping Soichiro's collar like an iron clamp, and his arms suddenly exerted force.

"Pfft!"

There was a muffled sound.

Soichiro was thrown violently into the cold, surging sea.

"Rubbish."

Takeda glanced down at the sea, spat out a mouthful of saliva, his tone full of disgust.

He took a clean towel from the man in the black suit beside him and slowly wiped his fingertips.

"The telegram from home hasn't arrived yet?"

Takeda frowned, and his tone suddenly turned serious: "Where exactly is Kurokawa's sister hiding?"

"Reporting to the team leader," the man in the black suit immediately bowed and lowered his head even further. "The local authorities have thoroughly investigated the relevant leads, but the other party acted extremely meticulously and left no trace."

"Damn it!" Takeda cursed under his breath, a hint of ferocity flashing in his eyes.

"It must be the JCP's doing! In the past two years, their tricks have become increasingly dirty, and their activities have become more and more rampant! A bunch of traitors. If it were more than ten years ago, we would have wiped them out long ago."

The man in the black suit hesitated for a moment, then cautiously lowered his voice and asked, "Team leader, since Kurokawa's sister is missing, why don't we just get rid of Kurokawa as well, to make an example of her and prevent future troubles?"

"Idiot!" Takeda glared at him and scolded, "Kurokawa is currently on Man Island, being watched by various forces, and his every move is exposed!"

"If we dare to touch him, and make too much of a fuss, not only will Xiao Ou's side be under pressure, but even Xiao Mei won't be able to withstand it. They'll definitely investigate, and we'll only be inviting trouble ourselves."

The man in the black suit nodded.

These people are very clear about their place; they're just dogs now.

It's fine if it calls out a few times on ordinary days.

If you disturb your owner's rest, you'll definitely get a beating.

Takeda paused, his eyes turning sinister: "The Remnant Clan Association is currently in a period of dormancy. What it needs most is to keep a low profile and be patient, and not to cause any unnecessary trouble, understand?"

"Yes! I understand!" The man in the black suit nodded hurriedly, not daring to say anything more.

Takeda raised his head and looked at the sea in the vast night, his voice so low that only he could hear it: "And... I have a feeling that something is wrong with this, like it's a trap."

The other side has probably already laid a trap, just waiting for us to walk into it.

Thinking back on what happened during that time, Takeda had only one feeling: the other party was truly terrifying.

It seemed that every step the bereaved families took was anticipated by the other side.

"The weather station to the east... I'm really looking forward to our next encounter."
