The Return of the Cannon Fodder Trillion Heiress - Chapter 504

Chapter 504: Chapter 504 She’s Really Phantom
The NRT’s head mechanic glanced back at the garage they had just come from, feeling even more excited as he realized that Hera was truly Phantom.

And his team, along with Phantom’s team will be conducting a pre-race check together on the car before it hits the track.

Filled with enthusiasm, he sprang to his feet and met Phantom’s team halfway, with his own team eagerly following.

They all helped push the dolly, allowing Phantom’s team to take the lead while the NRT’s head mechanic engaged in lively conversation with his counterpart.

As they made their way through the garage area, the atmosphere became boisterous.

Fortunately, all the back doors of the other teams’ garages were closed, and everyone was preoccupied with their own tasks, so no one noticed them mingling with Phantom’s team.

Now, the NRT’s head mechanic understood why Hera had insisted on putting up screens around their garage; it was to keep the arrival of Phantom’s car under wraps.

After all, throughout all her previous races, Phantom had only ever used one car—a custom-built machine crafted from scratch by her head mechanic, featuring the best engines and parts available.

Once others caught sight of the car, they would instantly recognize who she was.

Since many were eager to see Hera fail, she wanted to maintain the suspense and reveal herself only at the last minute, just before the race began.

This way, the other teams wouldn’t know what hit them—or how they would be defeated.

The NRT’s head mechanic shivered, but not out of fear—rather, it was a thrill of excitement.

Like every mechanic in the racing world, he dreamed of meeting his idol, the head mechanic of Phantom’s team.

They all feared and admired the incredible beast of a machine he had created for Phantom.

Its performance was unmatched; although it lacked sponsorship from major car manufacturers like the NRT’s previous partnership with BMW, Phantom’s car was a force to be reckoned with.

Rumor had it that only Phantom could drive it effectively, as it was uniquely tailored to her specific needs and style.

When they reached the back door, the NRT team eagerly opened the shutter and helped push the car inside.

As the vehicle rolled in, the staff members already in the garage let out a collective sigh of relief.

However, midway through their sigh, they caught sight of Phantom’s team, and the sound abruptly caught in their throats, leading to a chorus of surprised coughs and flushed faces.

Only Luke and Xavier were unaware of the sudden shift in the NRT staff’s demeanor.

Leo and Dave, however, were fully aware; Dave had been racing for years and was well-familiar with Phantom and her team through what he had seen in the races Phantom participated in before, while Leo had followed Hera’s journey closely, knowing her team well before this moment.

As Leo continued to massage Hera’s hands, Luke and Xavier soon realized what was happening, exchanging knowing smiles.

Before long, Xavier returned to his task, focusing on massaging Hera’s scalp to help her relax even more.

Dave quickly regained his composure and decided against turning the live stream towards the car.

Instead, he understood Hera’s intentions and adjusted the camera angle to avoid capturing the car’s view once the cover was lifted.

Although the camera still recorded the car being pushed inside the garage, Hera’s fans felt a wave of relief at its arrival.

However, they were left curious about why Hera was keeping it a secret.

Meanwhile, some of Michael’s fans attempted to press Hera for answers, questioning her mysterious behavior.

Despite the murmurs and speculation, Hera and her team remained tight-lipped, allowing the mechanics to focus on their work.

Meanwhile, Dave engaged Hera’s fans with entertaining commentary, while the other men doted on her like royalty, much to the delight of her supporters.

Even Xavier was enthusiastically getting in on the act, which kept Hera’s fans thoroughly entertained and engaged.

After all, some of those watching were also Xavier’s fans, and they had never seen him behave like this before.

He typically disliked random approaches and preferred to maintain a certain distance, which was why he had never starred in a romance film and instead focused on action and fantasy.

However, seeing Xavier willingly serve Hera captivated them.

Their eyes widened in surprise as they began to imagine the possibility of him starring in a romantic film with her, filling them with excitement.

…

[XavierIsLife: Hey!!! I really think their chemistry is perfect! I can’t wait to see them in a romance. Imagine if Hera could do some stunts—an action-romance film with them would be incredible! That would definitely be epic!!!]

[XavierIsLove: I totally agree with you, sister upstairs! I can’t wait to see that happen! The thought of Xavier actually being so subservient to a woman is making my imagination run wild! I’d love to see him play the role of a butler!]

[XavierIsLove: How about a romance called “The Bullet and His Mistress”? Or maybe “The Owner and Her Big Dog”? I never thought I’d get to see something like this so soon—it’s pure heaven! Ugh! Kyaa!]

[XavierIsLove: (>◒<)]

[XavierMyLove: Absolutely! I used to think it was hard to picture Xavier in a romance film with a CP, but now I can totally see it—and I love it! Hera seems so natural with her suitors that I wouldn’t mind watching a reverse harem right now!]

[XavierMyLove: I’ve never been a fan of reverse harems because I always felt bad for the handsome guys who inevitably get hurt due to favoritism, but seeing Hera treat everyone equally with her genuine and sincere gaze has changed my perspective. This kind of reverse harem is definitely acceptable for me! Kya!!!]

[XavierMyLove: (❁≧0≦)]

[HeraIsMySister: My sister Hera is truly a queen!!! ]

[AuntieNextDoor: She looks like a pampered cat right now, her eyes squinting in delight. I can almost hear her purring as Xavier massages her scalp, while Leo and Luke work on her palms, and the handsome Mr. Everett tends to her legs!]

[Athena_Lowery: I wish I had such handsome masseurs flocking to me too!]

[Athena_Lowery: (๑≧♡≦)]

[HeraIsMySister: I’m dying to know what they are trying to hide in the garage right now. Is anyone with me in this curiosity?]

[XOXO: +1]

[RacingGod: +150]

[PasserbyGod: I think they must have secured an incredible car, possibly from a different sponsor since BWM canceled their contract with the NRT. It seems like Hera and the NRT are trying to keep their new sponsor under wraps to build the excitement.]

[PasserbyGod: After all, nobody expected her to get a sponsored car at the last minute; it’s nearly impossible to build a racing car overnight without a backup sponsor in place. This could very well be a clever publicity stunt to generate buzz for that new sponsor!]

[DreamMe: That hypothesis sounds plausible. It’s also possible that the car they received didn’t meet their expectations or the standard racing car, so they’re delaying the embarrassment by keeping it a secret until the last minute. This way, Hera can face any backlash and be socially persecuted in one swift moment and move on more quickly. Just my two cents!]

[PasserbyGod: I don’t think so, @DreamMe. I noticed a different team arriving with the NRT’s mechanics, so it’s possible they’re collaborating with another racing team this time. It might be more likely that a team that didn’t qualify for nationals is lending them a car, rather than the scenario you mentioned.]
