NovelEnglish"Oh, right, Sean." Steward couldn't help himself and blurted out again.
Perhaps afraid of testing Sean's patience, he rushed his words, "We lost, and according to the bet, Harlan's gotta crawl from the
starting line to the finish line while cursing himself as a lowlife."
Should he intervene?
If Sean stepped in, Light Fleet sure as heck wouldn't let Harlan crawl.
But Sean didn't even look back. As he walked away, he said coldly, "Let him crawl and then kick him out of the team."
He had no intention of keeping him around.
Ever since he founded the team, Sean never led his team into any races, instead he always sent Harlan to represent them.
Perhaps because of this, Harlan got cocky. As he thought Sean really valued him, he becmore and more self-important, so
much so that he played around with women, got drunk and caused scenes from tto time. But due to the Team's rep, Harlan
was never held accountable everythe stirred up troubles.

Now he's gone too far, making bets he can't honor. He brought this on himself.
Harlan's loss to Arabella and that fit he threw was a total embarrassment to the Drift Kings.
How could Sean possibly let him stay to keep losing face for the team and playing the big shot?
There's a saying that goes like, “You've made your bed, now lie in it.”
Since he’s so keen on digging his grave, let him dig it far away.
At that moment, Harlan realized the boss had left, who showed no intention of bailing him out of this mess.
Although he could understand the boss's frustration with the loss, it would be out of the question for him to crawl from start to
finish .
He was the vice-captain, for crying out loud!
When Harlan tried to leave, Candice stepped in front with screw members and blocked his path: "You gotta pay up when you
lose."
"Get out of my way," Harlan spat, with no sign of a sunny disposition. Seeing they wouldn't budge, he snapped, "We already gave
you the track as a handout, what more do you want?"
"It's not a handout; we Light Fleet won it fair and square! If you're up to it, try winning it back."
"Fair's fair, don't tellyou don't honor your word?" Candice crossed her arms, demanding that he keep his promise.
"Just now, thousands of eyes saw and thousands of ears heard that, you, Harlan, boasted that if you lost, you'd crawl from start to
finish while yelling you're a lowlife."
He deserved it; it's the consequence of him being so flippant and, touching a woman's chin on a whim.
If it weren't for Bella stepping in, who knows what might've happened.
Candice knew that Bella's bet was actually a way to stand up for her, and while she was internally grateful, she firmly said, "Today
you have to crawl to the end, or we all won't let you off the hook!"
The crowd started chanting: "Crawl! Crawl! Craw!!"

"I'm not crawling, what are you gonna do about it?" Harlan, relying on his status of being the vice captain, spoke defiantly.
At this point, the Drift Kings’ members heard that he was soon to be fired and abandoned by Sean, so they stepped back one by
one, no longer willing to be his strong support.
People from Light Fleet slowly surrounded Harlan.
"Are you gonna crawl or not?"
Harlan didn't expect that the friends who stood behind him just a moment ago had now vanished.
Suddenly, he felt a bit cowardly.
Saudience who disliked him spontaneously closed in while laying into him.
"Are you a man or what; your word's as good as a fart."
"If you have any guts, crawl from the start to the finish, and I'll respect you as a real man."
"You're a disgrace to men everywhere."
