Hearing these words, Maxi smirked, wanting to say something but got stopped by Rex.
Rex’s expression was sincere, as if he was genuinely considering Kyle’s best interests, "We are of course aware of Manager Kyle and Captain Lu’s contributions, and we’re extremely grateful for all that you’ve done for the team and the club over the years. But precisely because of that, now that Captain Lu can no longer race, do you really have the heart to let the world’s shining star fall completely by your own hands?"
With just a few words, he credited the efforts of Lu You and Kyle to the club.
Kyle almost laughed out of anger at Rex’s words.
At this point, he couldn’t be bothered to sugarcoat his response and said bluntly, "Rex, I know you want to support Maxi. That’s why you let Maxi poach my team members, encouraged them to defect; I didn’t say anything. But the name of the world team, I absolutely will not give up!"
Hearing Kyle’s irrefutable words, Rex also knew there was no chance of coming to an agreement. He sneered, "Then I really want to see how far you can get holding onto a team name that’s nothing but an empty shell!"
After saying that, he took out two termination contracts, "It states here that if you’re not willing to give up the team name, there’s no need for further collaboration."
Seeing the termination contract, Tasiris’s face changed dramatically, and he turned his head sharply to Kyle, "Manager Kyle!"
Regardless of how glorious the world team once was, how many teams had been vying for it, without Lu You, no team would be willing to take over now.
If Kyle and the current club terminated their contract... tonight might really be the last race of their professional careers!
Kyle waved his hand, his face calm as if he had expected this all along.
Without a word, he took out a pen and signed the termination contract!
Rex picked up one of the termination contracts, sneered coldly, and turned to leave.
Maxi cast a sympathetic glance at Kyle, "Manager Kyle, I advise you one last time, being too stubborn is bound to lead to failure."
But Kyle was far from worried, he calmly put away his pen, "Don’t get in the way of our pre-race inspections."
Maxi’s face darkened, and he turned and left.
Once they were completely gone, Tasiris hesitantly spoke up, "Manager Kyle, I’ve heard from the former team members that the club is so eager to terminate the contract with you because Maxi brought in Ben Franzi... I wasn’t going to tell you this, but now that you’ve terminated the contract, I thought this news might make you feel a little less upset..."
Kyle, "... Thanks for going out of your way to comfort me."
Chi Gui had only been standing to the side and hadn’t planned on getting involved with the team’s internal affairs, but upon hearing that name, he raised his eyebrows, "Ben Franzi?"
"Yes," said Lu You, warming up for the race, thinking Chi Gui didn’t know this person, he explained, "He’s currently ranked number one by the International Racing Alliance, a whole four places above me. From this perspective, it’s normal for the club to choose him over me."
Kyle looked at Lu You, "Don’t feel too pressured either; just because you’re not as strong as him now, doesn’t mean you can’t be in the future."
Chi Gui, "No, Lu You can compete with him. If he’s the biggest rival in this series, then Lu You, as long as you race seriously, first place is yours." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel※fire.net
Hearing her so sure of herself, both Kyle and Lu You were puzzled.
Even Tasiris couldn’t help but ask, "Coach Chi Gui, why do you have so much confidence in Captain Lu?"
