Chapter 557
The speed of the two horses was unexpectedly equally matched. Keegan pressed his body down and
stared forward with a sullen gaze in his eyes while swinging his horsewhip at the appropriate time to
alter the direction.
When turning a corner, Juno outpaced the brown horse with a leap. This move of overtaking Marshall
made him slowly accumulate disadvantages.
Although their speed was still fast, the two- or three-meters distance could not be shortened regardless
of any method used.
Keegan turned around to look at Marshall. The corner of his lips twitched into a smile. He turned his
head back around and sped up again. Marshall focused his gaze and flung a single harsh whip onto
the horse's body. The brown horse shrieked and accelerated its sprint speed. The brown horse was
unknowingly frightened at the final bend and pressing onto the finish line. With another loud shriek, it
shook Marshall off its back.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStella was shocked and screamed out, "Mr. Moore!"
Marshall's whole body was flung to one side of the saddle with one leg dangling. The other leg was
hooked at the stirrup while both his hands had a deathly grip on the reins. He had a tightened
expression due to the exertion of force, and the veins on his forehead were popping.
The brown horse was out of control. It carried Marshall while galloping desperately. Stella was so
scared that a layer of cold sweat broke on her back as she shouted Keegan's name loudly.
Keegan also noticed that Marshall's horse had gone out of control and quickly rode Juno to chase
them. The brown horse left the racetrack and had a rampage on the field.
Unexpectedly, it ran toward Stella. Stella's expression changed drastically. She seemed to have noticed
this and turned around to run toward places with obstacles. However, how could a human's speed be
comparable to a horse's?
Seeing the horse get closer and closer to Stella, Keegan's expression turned serious. He stood on the
horse's back with one hand, releasing Juno's reins. He looked for the right opportunity and jumped onto
the brown horse. He pulled at its reins hard and forcefully changed its direction.
The brown horse seemingly grew more frenzied due to the pain. Keegan looked at Marshall, who was
dangling on the other side of the horseback. His hand was changing color due to being constricted by
the rein. The veins on his hands were popped out, and his fingers were quivering faintly from
withstanding his weight in the air for long periods.
Keegan said with a severe tone, "When I let you jump off in a moment, you let go and roll over while
protecting your head."
Marshall tightened his expression while looking at Keegan, then nodded with pursed lips. Keegan tried
his best to control the direction with a solemn face while trying to soothe the manic horse. However, it
did not seem to work. The more he wanted to control it, the more maniacal the brown horse grew.
Keegan could only find the correct timing to use his leg to kick Marshall off when the horse passed
through the buffer zone.
In Marshall's head, he was still thinking, 'Didn't he say he would shout, let go?' When his whole body
had already been released from the horseback. He quickly protected his head and tumbled a few
rounds on the sand pit of the buffer zone before stopping.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStella immediately came over to check on Marshall's injuries. His palm and elbow were slightly
scraped, while his other parts were fine.
Stella released a breath of relief and looked at the field. The brown horse was still not controlled. It
even started to run while jumping back and forth, trying to shake Keegan off its body. With such a high
speed, it would not be funny once you fell off.
Stella helped Marshall to a safe zone and then tightened her expression. She followed Keegan's
movements through momentary glimpses. Her throat would unconsciously tighten whenever he was
about to be flung off.
The horse trainer had already ridden Juno to chase the brown horse, but the distance was too large.
Besides that, its erratic course made pursuing it harder.
Keegan was covered in sweat and dust throughout his body. The protective gear on his hands was
already worn. His palms were sweaty, and the reins he was gripping onto were starting to slip. If this
continues, he will be flung off sooner or later.
Keegan's gaze focused, and he simply slipped to the other side of the horseback. His legs were bent
and prepared to jump off when the brown horse turned. However, before they turned around, the reins
suddenly snapped. This caused Keegan to fall directly off the horseback.
