Speed Demon

Three poles in the sun.

Under Lisa's speechless gaze, Adam finally emerged from the bedroom, looking refreshed.

"Get ready, we're about to set off."

"Boss, are you sure it's not too late?"

Lisa complained, "It's already nine o'clock, the wedding is at twelve, and I haven't booked a plane ticket."

"It's okay, we'll drive there."

As Adam spoke, he turned on his phone, and countless call and text message notifications popped up, all from Ted, Erica, and the others.

"Ted, something came up and the plans changed. We'll leave now. Don't worry, we'll make it in time and I promise we won't miss the wedding. Tell them not to worry, that's all."

Hang up the phone.

As Lisa's lips twitched, Adam and Paige went into the bathroom to take a shower.

Half an hour later.

In front of the car downstairs.

"Lisa, you don't have a heart condition, do you?"

Adam confirmed it.

"No."

Lisa immediately shook her head, then a bad feeling crept into her heart as she asked, "Boss, why do you ask that?"

"The car will be going a little fast later, but don't worry, it'll be fine."

Adam smiled and got into the driver's seat.

"Boss, I think I have Congenital Heart Disease..."

Lisa, who was holding three wedding dresses, felt that she still had a heart condition.

"It doesn't matter."

Adam reassured him, "You've forgotten I'm the best Cardiothoracic Surgeon. Get in the car, we're in a hurry."

Without a word, Paige got into the passenger seat.

Adam had taken her to drive even the fastest cars, so she wasn't worried at all.

"..."

Lisa, with a pained expression, got into the back seat and immediately fastened her seatbelt.

"Hmm, good safety awareness."

Adam nodded in approval and said, "I was going to remind you to fasten your seatbelt."

"Boss, it's just a wedding, not your wedding yet."

Lisa couldn't help but advise, "If we can't make it, we can't make it. We mustn't let this cause any accidents."

At this point, seemingly realizing he wasn't important enough, he looked at Paige, who was sitting comfortably in the passenger seat. "Paige's in the car too."

He seemed to be saying, "Even if you're not in my safety, you still need to care about Paige's safety."

"Yes."

Adam adjusted the rearview mirror and smiled at Lisa in the mirror, "Paige's in the car too. If you don't trust me, don't you trust Paige?"

"..."

Lisa paused, speechless.

Normally, she trusts Paige a lot.

But when Paige met Adam, she couldn't help but have doubts.

My mom's wedding is just around the corner, and Paige, as her bridesmaid, has been keeping Adam company with her until now. Even though we're running late, she doesn't seem worried at all.

How can she still trust Paige under these circumstances?

"Alright, is everything alright now?"

Adam smiled as he started the Porsche 911 sports car he had recently purchased.

Before.

After his IQ exceeded 180, making him a super genius and granting him Bullet Time, Adam bought this new car.

After all.

Sports cars are much faster than off-road vehicles.

Adam frequently travels between New York and New Jersey, so buying a sports car is a reasonable option to save precious time.

"We're off."

As soon as he finished speaking, the car roared and shot off like an arrow.

Lisa, who was in the back seat, was still startled by the powerful push-back sensation, even though she was mentally prepared.

Then.

What terrified her even more eventually happened.

This is a city.

The traffic was like a tidal wave.

But Adam kept accelerating, overtaking one car after another.

As she watched the cars whizzing by, and glanced at the speedometer needle, which was already at 142 km/h and still dropping, Lisa trembled.

She desperately wanted to shout, "Boss, slow down! Slow down! Don't go that fast!"

But the words were on the tip of his tongue, and his remaining rationality held them back.

Let's not even Adam definitely wouldn't pay any attention to her.

Most importantly, in such a fast-paced situation, she felt it was best not to talk to the driver.

If she distracts the driver, she will definitely be killed along with him.

As Lisa sped through the traffic like a fish and drove onto a vast, deserted highway in the suburbs, she was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she discovered that her speed had exceeded 246 km/h.

Most importantly.

It's still accelerating!

"Slow down, slow down!"

At that moment, she could no longer hold back and screamed with her eyes closed.

Although there are no more cars that could collide with you at any time.

But if you're speeding at that speed on this kind of highway, what if a blind rabbit, or some kind of animal like a kangaroo that suddenly appears out of nowhere?

Or perhaps a rock that's sticking out of place on a certain section of the road.

That would definitely have resulted in a fatal car crash.

"Rest assured."

Adam glanced at her in the rearview mirror and smiled reassuringly, "The top speed of this sports car is only 280 km/h. I won't accelerate anymore after that, and we've had enough time."

Lisa opened her eyes and looked at the speedometer. It was already 269 km/h, and it was indeed not going to accelerate any further.

Now she understood why Adam was so confident he could make it in time.

The total distance is over 300 kilometers, and at this speed, it would be over in just over an hour.

She set off at 9:30 and arrived around 10:00. For her, who usually has to drive for 4 hours, how could she imagine that?

After feeling a sense of lingering fear.

Lisa couldn't help but complain, "Boss, aren't you afraid of dying?"

"Of course I'm afraid of dying."

Adam laughed and said, "Otherwise, why would I rarely fly?"

"I think flying is definitely safer than driving."

Lisa retorted, "No, it's a million times safer!"

That's your misconception.

Adam smiled slightly.

He even needs to bring a parachute when he flies.

Even with a parachute, it would still be dangerous if you were on the open ocean.

Because you don't know how long you'll drift.

Of course, with Adam's endurance and strength, he would have been able to survive in the ocean with remarkable resilience.

Take your time swimming.

Who knows, you might even encounter a shark or something, and tame it, ride it across the ocean, and become Aquaman a while.

Driving, Speed Demon, seems much more dangerous than flying.

But for Adam, who possesses Bullet Time and excellent reaction speed, it is a safer way to travel than by plane.

He appeared to be weaving rapidly through traffic, and if the car in front of him changed lanes arbitrarily without any warning, they could collide immediately.

But with Adam's Bullet Time and excellent reaction speed, these are not problems.

10:00 AM.

In front of a classic Mi-style detached house.

As Ted waited anxiously, a sleek Porsche sports car drifted and came to a smooth stop at the entrance.

"You really drove here?"

Ted looked up at his watch in disbelief, then stopped questioning it.

Because the back seat opened, Lisa crawled out, covered her mouth, ran to the trash can, and buried her head in her hands to vomit.

Adam took the three packaged wedding dresses out of the back seat and smiled at the dumbfounded Ted, "Where are the bride and bridesmaids? They need to change into their wedding dresses."

"Change into a wedding dress? Why?"

Ted couldn't understand.

"Because this wedding dress is more beautiful."

Adam smiled and said, "Trust me, they'll like it."
