Chapter 396: Jinx II

In the manager’s office, Conceicao was thinking about the best way to avoid any conflict with team interests when someone suddenly barged into the room,

“*Huff* Manager, the players are fighting!” the new arrival managed to huff out despite being out of breath from running all the way there.

‘Shit, I had to jinx it,’ Conceicao thought as he immediately rose from his chair and began moving hurriedly out of the room.

Pepe had already stood up much earlier and moved quicker as he was more athletic.

***

*A few minutes earlier...*

On the field, the players were having a scrimmage match that was being watched over by the assistant coaches as well as other club personnel.

The players had been divided into two teams on the field and were playing against each other.

Jason was on the B team and he currently had a bib over his training kit and luckily, Mylo was on the opposing team so there wasn’t any conflict of interest in Jason’s team.

However, with Mylo now on the other team, it gave Jason enough justification to play against him and for some reason, Jason had begun to take a sadistic pleasure at embarrassing Mylo.

Hence whenever he received the ball, he would run towards the center instead of down the flanks while watching for Mylo and whenever Mylo came to tackle him for the ball, Jason would pull out the most complicated skill that could send Mylo sprawling and use it.

With Mylo’s talents more geared towards attacking than defending, Mylo almost always couldn’t react on time and was always sent the wrong way.

Even the few times he wasn’t sent the wrong way, he still couldn’t reach the ball as he was no match for Jason’s agility.

To the people watching, it was like Jason was showboating, but that didn’t stop them from hooting, calling, and laughing until Mylo was red with embarrassment.

As Jason was smoothly drifting past him after slotting the ball inbetween his leg, Mylo’s arm shot out and he grabbed a hold of Jason’s shirt by the collar and pulled hard.

This action surprised Jason who wasn’t expecting it and for a second, his breathing was constricted, but Mylo didn’t stop there and yanked even harder before sweeping his legs from the ground, and without surprise, Jason went crashing to the ground.

“...”

For a second, Jason dazedly stared at the open sky above him, but a second later, anger appeared in his eyes and a cruel smile appeared on his lips.

His hands immediately went to the side of his heads and he did a martial arts kick up, immediately jumping onto his legs and turning to Mylo.

“... Wrong move, very wrong move,” he muttered and began advancing at Mylo.

“Hey, hey, bro, chill,” Otavio who was the nearest immediately called out to Jason, trying to dissuade Jason from doing what everyone could clearly see that he was going to do.

Unfortunately for Mylo, because everyone had been too stunned by what was happening, nobody moved on time to stop Jason from reaching, but he wasn’t a fool either and could see that Jason was definitely not walking up to him to shake his hand, or pat his shoulder.

Even if Jason did, he wouldn’t take it.

After all, he had been embarrassed continuously and was now infuriated so he also moved towards Jason and to everyone’s surprise he swung at Jason first.

Jason had been watching Mylo’s body movement so the moment, he moved his body to throw the hook, he saw it coming from a mile away and he swiftly dropped his body and went under Mylo’s punch before countering with a powerful liver shot punch.

*Ooff*

The sound of Jason’s fist hitting Mylo’s body was accompanied by the sound of Mylo’s agony at being hit, but as he doubled back, holding his abdomen, Jason rose back up.

He wasn’t yet done beating up the snake.
