"Mercy on these muscle heads? I don't think I have that definition on my vocabulary." Aaron said and then kicked the man's face one more time. After feeling satisfied, Aaron faces Ophius and gave him a meaningful stare.
"What? Am I not allowed to watch you beat them up?" Ophius doesn't see any wrong in his action. He was only leaning against the wall while watching Aaron beat the hell out of those muscle heads.
"No. You are not allowed."
"Aren't you a bit selfish," Ophius said as he walks towards Aaron. He looks at the face of the man Aaron is stepping on. He doesn't know whether to feel bad for him because Aaron is being too merciless or laugh at the man for attacking Aaron without any precaution.
"Are still gonna try and win the game?" Aaron suddenly asked. When Ophius send him a message that Tiger High coach is going to use dirty tricks, Aaron into a conclusion the Ophius might not try to play seriously any more. If that happens, Aaron wouldn't like it one bit.
Now that Tiger team coach's plan on hurting Aaron is a failure, Aaron still wants to have a fair play with Ophius. He doesn't want to win when his opponent is not even serious. 'Where's the fun in that?' He said inwardly.
"Even if I don't want to try, I still have to or else Lucia will strangle me to death." Just imagining Lucia burning in rage as she stride towards him is too scary. He is supposed to be stronger than Lucia, but for some reason, he became like a scared little dog whenever Lucia is angry at him.
"Oh? So, that wild girl forces you to try and win the game?"
"Yes, she did. But I gotta say, 'wild girl' is the best-suited name for her. Maybe I should call her that from here on out." That nickname Aaron gave to Lucia is too perfect. Lucia is too wild for anyone to handle; there was even a time where Ophius got deceive from Lucia's innocent look.
Ophius is also a man who has his own type of women; the first time he saw Lucia, he immediately got hook by her innocent look. He even tried to flirt with her, and when he did, it did not end well. He almost got all his bones broken.
"That nickname is the best one to describe her nature; the last mission I had with Lucia almost a failure, just mentioning it is giving me a headache." Lucia's personality for being impatient is too much for Aaron to handle. She has no patience to wait and just went directly into action.
From time to time, Aaron would try to convince his mother to change his partner during missions. But as always whenever he tries, his mother would stop him without blinking an eye. Always saying that: 'You and Lucia are the best-paired team among all the teams in the organization. You and Lucia will get along someday.' Whenever he hears that he can only put on s fake smile in front of his mother.
As Aaron and Ophius are talking about how wild Lucia is, someone who had scared expression plastered on his face doesn't know what to do and what to say next. That someone is the coach who happens want to know what had happened to Aaron. But everything that is in front of him is not what he had expected.
He expected Aaron to be the one on the floor, not the goons he hired to hurt Aaron. But what surprises him the most is one of his players talking to Aaron. 'Why is that brat Ophius is talking to Aaron?'
Somehow just by looking at them talking makes the coach thinks that Aaron and Ophius are plotting on something. The coach wants to hear what they are talking about, but he is too far from them, and if he tries to get closer to them, they might catch him eavesdropping.
"You know, if you really want to know what they are talking about, you should go and asked them yourself, Tiger coach." A voice from behind was heard and this startled the coach.
The coach fiercely glared at the young man in front of him, and he was slightly surprised that the young man in front of him is one of the new players from Crystal High, Josh Visser. "Brat! What do you think you are doing?!" The coach angrily said.
Josh looks at him in suspicion, he can't believe that the person who is trying to scheme against his team is this coach in front of him. This coach looks so weak and dumb; Josh is guessing that this coach only knows how to use the money to bargain on people. 'No wonder Aaron is upset, this guy is dumb like that girl who is trying to harm Anna in any possible way.' All Josh know is Rebecca's existence and not its name and even if he remembers Rebecca's name, he would only think that it's only a waste.
"Are you sure you have the right to asked that kind of question, coach?" Ophius asked who is walking towards them with Aaron beside him.
Ophius couldn't help but scoff at this coach of his; Tiger team coach really has no shame. Dare to ask Josh that kind of question when he is the one who has been plotting against the Crystals.
These young ones around him are giving him a stare that he could not comprehend. It was as if their eyes are telling him that he is a sore loser. Convinced that is what Aaron and the others are thinking, he suddenly felt anger rise up to his head.
"Ophius, you! Meeting up with these Crystals in secrecy is making me think that you are planning to let them win!" The coach said without thinking much.
"Excuse me? What evidence do you have to accuse Ophius like that? Hmm?" Aaron asked as his left brow rise.
"I, I..." The coach tried to think hard on what to reply back to Aaron, but he couldn't up with one statement.
"If you don't have evidence to, then please, shut that mouth of yours." Respecting this man in front of him is not an option for Aaron. A guy like him who would pull bad tricks just to win is not deserving any of his respect.
Seeing that the coach from Tiger High can't say anything back to Aaron, Josh spoke in a lazy tone, "Hey, coach Jackson is gathering all of us, so, let's go."
Aaron did not protest and started to walk his way towards his coach, but after a few steps, Aaron stopped and said, "You know, you should start and clean up those idiots, they might rot there if you let them stay on the floor any longer."
