chapter 216
216 episodes. What’s so active!
Tenths of a furlong, 20 meters.
From that distance, the red-brown body of the Hellmaster stretched out in a red trajectory.
The bridge that cut 1 furlong in 9 seconds exploded with 20 meters left at the end of the long distance of 2,400 meters.
The result is 0.9 seconds difference.
He won the championship by a distance of 0.5 demons.
“Finally, you have decorated the finale.”
I gazed proudly at Carlson, who raised his hand toward the audience, and Hellmaster, who ran over the limit and out of breath.
As a sprinter, he overcame a number of bad conditions and fought a great battle.
“Congratulations, Edward.”
Chris asked me to shake hands.
“Huh? Isn’t that the face of a loser?”
“Mr. Connelly said that. Today’s defeat will make Dark Star stronger. Just like the current Hellmaster.”
“Hahaha, that’s right.”
“So, I promise you next time. Then, we’ll have a fight, so be nervous.”
I shook my head at Chris’s words.
“No, there is no next time.”
“yes?”
“Today was Hellmaster’s retirement match.”
“Why? If I had that skill, I would be able to build a more career.”
“Because of the fractures I suffered before. It’s okay right now, but if you keep fighting, it might happen again.”
“That’s right… It’s a pity, it’s over with one win and one loss.”
I said firmly to Chris, who said it was a draw.
“It wasn’t a give-and-take, it was a give-and-take. From the beginning, when each other’s skills reached their peak, we tried to win. Ha ha ha.”
The person who wins in the end is the winner, Mr. Park!
“Ugh, don’t do that, we’ll have one more match at the Breeders’ Cup in a month.”
“Wow, please be patient. Hellmaster can’t recover in a month. Hahaha.”
“Ugh, are you going to keep laughing like that in a silly way?”
“Did I do that? Ha ha ha ha.”
After laughing out loud, I told Madduck and Franz that they did a good job.
The two assistants also praised each other and shared their thoughts.
“But which one wins, Dark Star or Shipid?”
Everyone looked at the billboard at my question.
The results hadn’t come out yet.
That it took time was a small difference.
“uh?”
Results were being announced as if answering my questions.

Again, he was called by Robert Bardock and headed there.
Now that the results came out, it was time to tie the knot.
“Are you here?”
The faces of the three old men are full of color.
Until then, even Argo Chairman, who had never been cold-hearted.
‘I guess it’s because everyone benefited.’
Argo and Zhaochan, the two of them had some fun with the doubles and triples, respectively.
It is like a penny to them, but it seems that the catharsis that they won the gambling made them colorize.
In the case of Robert Bardock, he lost the horse race.
“Congratulations, Mr. Bardock. You’ve got what you want.”
Because Darkstar defeated Shipid, he obtained the right to take over Lagarder.
“It’s all thanks to you, I’ll take this back.”
As promised, he returned the Dark Star’s share contract to me.
“Are you still keeping your promise?”
“Is that safe?”
“okay.”
“Yes, we should open it as soon as we return.”
“Have you talked to Henry?”
It’s disgusting to see a smirk smirk.
“I’ll do it, after I get the bearer stake.”
“Hmm…”
What else do you want to say, put Chuimsae?
“Looks like you were busy getting a title in England, so let’s talk about it when you get back.”
100 million! did you know
“What’s on your face? You thought I wouldn’t know?”
“How did you know?”
“Just because you don’t go through the merit judging panel doesn’t mean you won’t be on the list for which you have been awarded the title. You are supposed to report to those newly added after receiving the honour.”
“Are you talking about the Night Breacher?”
“Of course. Because none of the prospective ones did not receive the title.”
Thorough, very.
“Thanks to you, my plan to flirt with this one went awry. But thanks to you, it was fun, it felt like I was dealing with Gary again.”
“……”
i’m not funny
Because it was Goku on the palm of the Buddha’s hand.
“Haha, actually, I only got the call this morning, so please stop showing your poopy expression.”
“It’s because you chewed your shit properly.”
“People who received the title of nobility and inherited heredity are very greedy.”
Robert Bardock smiled and continued.
“I like you. I haven’t been friends with Gary, but I’d like to socialize with you at any age. How about you?”
I sighed and answered.
“Before that, please treat your opponent with some sincerity. Please fix that flirtatious rhetoric.”
“Did I do that? I’ve always been sincere, and I’d appreciate your advice.”
Robert Bardock raised an eyebrow and held out his hand.
“I know it’s not.”
I pursed my lips and grabbed his hand.
‘What kind of friend is this squirrel squirrel? He must be contemplating what else to eat.’
To respond to that, it would be better to first make friends, even nominally.
You can ask your friend what you are doing.
and,
“Well, do you know what a best friend is called in Korea?”
“Well, I don’t know. What do you say?”
I laughed and spoke in Korean as I would to my hometown friends.
“Hey, you bastard.”
really like this
friend child.

Arc de Triomphe Award Ceremony.
Befitting the world’s best tough classic race, the spotlight was splendid.
The reporters’ camera baptism poured dazzlingly, and I lifted the championship trophy as Maju.
If the main character of the race was the jockey, the podium was the racehorse, the main character, and its owner.
Of course, Carlson and Franz also sat next to me and waved their hands.
When the photo time was over, this time the microphone rushed in.
“Hello, this is BBC reporter Justin Wright!”
“This is CNN Ricky Marcus, would you like to interview me!”
“This is ABC’s Christina Ronabel. Please say something!”
Among the people who rushed like Deukdal, I pointed out one of them.
He was a reporter for the Australian Broadcasting Cop.
“Hey, did you say Miss Ronabel?”
“Yes Yes!”
“I don’t know what to say other than ‘thank you’ because I’m not around. Can the reporter ask a question?”
She blushed and held out the microphone.
“Did you expect to win today?”
“Yes, I expected.”
“Hellmaster ranked 3rd in popularity in the preliminary survey, and most thought that Dark Star or Shipid would win. Is there any reason you thought so?”
“From the beginning, Hellmaster participated with the goal of fighting against the Dark Star. If you win first place, you won’t win, hahaha.”
“Is it an appetite battle?”
“If you are a horse racer in Brisbane, you may remember. In the past, Hellmaster lost to Dark Star in his debut match. Two years after that, he paid for that defeat today.”
At that moment, a reporter broke in and shouted.
“Then did Shipid not even care from the beginning?”
I glanced at him shyly.
Just a provocative question.
It looks like a typical giraffe.
“If you want to ask a question, tell me where and who you are, and ask permission. What’s that?”
“Sorry, this is Jean Bockman of Like Magazine.”
“Is it a horse racing magazine?”
“I do this and that on topics that people like, such as horse racing and casinos.”
“So it seems like you sent a blind man with his eyes open.”
“……yes?”
I spoke to Jean Bockman after begging Christina Lonabel for forgiveness.
“If you’ve seen the race, there’s no way you’d be asked that you didn’t care.”
“……?”
“Hellmaster only checked Shipid from the start to the 4th corner of the finale.”
“Shipid was the leading group and Hellmaster was the last, what do you mean?”
“It’s frustrating, really.”
People who knew the meaning of my gestures began to giggle and laugh.
“How can I explain more to someone who doesn’t understand even if I tell them? If you’re curious, go and interview the riders who ran between the two horses. Then you’ll find out.”
“Your statement seems to mean disrespecting people who don’t know about horse racing, is that right?”
You might call this the fallacy of hasty generalization.
It’s a different feeling when you experience what you’ve learned in the book.
“It’s not about ignoring the general public who don’t know about horse racing, it’s about ignoring the fact that a reporter who covered the scene came out without knowing anything.”
“……!”
Ugh, look at your face.
“Anyway, the Bardock Corporation guys do all the media disgrace.”
“Hey, hey, what are you going to do if they bite you?”
“Do it. Chit!”
My ears pricked up at the words that came out of the reporters.
I raised one corner of my mouth and asked Jean Bockman.
“Is Like Magazine an affiliate of Bardock Corporation?”
“Why? Have you changed your mind?”
A lot has changed.
“Wait a minute. If a great person like you is in charge of on-site coverage, it’s a huge loss for the company.”
I stood next to Jean Bockman and made a video call.
Everyone looked at me with their heads tilted during the interview.
“Mr. Bardock, I am.”
When the connection was made, everyone, including Jean Bockman, opened their mouths at his appearance on the screen.
Robert Bardock is a pronoun of the yellow press, who is both a media tycoon and an enemy of the media.
His face was as famous as a Hollywood star in the press.
That was when I looked at the screen and smiled.
– Hey, you bastard.
Cool, are you using it right away?
‘It’s also a formidable inspiration.’
I gave it back and took it verbally.
It’s Korean, so everyone didn’t understand it, but if it airs on TV, it’s going to be a mess.
‘That person obviously doesn’t know what it means, but he wrote it knowing it was a curse. Oh shit.’
When I interviewed them, they would say that I taught them.
Got it again, heck.

After all official ceremonies,
I went to see Damian and Bella.
They were riding Shipid in a mobile vehicle bearing the coat of arms of the British royal family.
Seeing how they were preparing, it seemed like they were going straight to England instead of going to Martha.
“Are you going back already?”
Damian approached me, and Bella, on the other hand, ran into the vehicle as if avoiding me.
“Please understand. Bella is in a very bad mood today.”
“I understand, because I’ve dented Shipid’s career.”
Damian shook his head resolutely.
“No. Who would dare to say such a thing looking at Hellmaster’s performance? Even if Eclipse had run, the result would have been the same.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
“I’m just stating the truth. And Bella’s low pressure was not because of Shipid’s defeat, but because she lost her bet with Mr. Jean.”
Oh, bet.
That was it.
“That was Bella’s one-sided notice. I don’t think it’s a bet, so please tell me to forget it.”
“No, Mr. Jean didn’t refuse, so I bet. Bella is responsible for paying the price.”
Are you old-fashioned as a noble?
There’s useless shit.
“Then I’ll tell you my wish. Would you like to come out here and say goodbye?”
“Is that really worth it? It’s a private bet, but my sister is also a daughter of the duke, so I can borrow the power of my family.”
“Haha, that’s enough. A ball is a ball and a living thing.”
Satisfied with my answer, Damian headed to the car with a soft smile.
And Bella walked with her head bowed.
“Why are you so grassy? Today’s game was great.”
She shook her head slightly at my words.
“really?”
“Yeah. The last choice I made at that time was really great. Without Bella, no one would have made that decision.”
I smiled and asked for a handshake.
“If you have a chance next time, come to Australia.”
She hesitated for a moment, then reached out her hand.
But the hand passed my arm and wrapped around my neck.
“Haw!”
Bella took a step back after a surprise kiss.
“I’m really going. If you break up with her then and you’re alone, come to me.”
What’s so active!
It’s like I’m surprised that I can’t say anything.
First of all, I have to keep it a secret from Jackie.
