They'd already seen Rex at the wheel earlier, but watching him actually pull away…Sophie sitting in the passenger seat still shot them straight in the heart.
"Lucky bastard…" one guy muttered under his breath, watching the crimson blur glide past.
"Forget lucky," another added, eyes narrowing. "That's straight unfair. But what can we do, such is life."
The Ferreri gave one sharp growl as Rex revved the engine… just enough to make Sophie squeal in delight—and then the car shot forward, the crimson blur vanishing onto the main road. The sound lingered in the air long after, leaving the onlookers in a mix of awe and envy.
