"Help, there's a pervert!" Her panicked cries followed him out. Justin broke into a cold sweat - good thing he reacted quickly, or he'd have been unable to escape and beaten to a pulp today.After washing up in the male restroom and calming down, Justin finally returned to the court. There were two teams - his finance class team for the tournament, and the sports department team. Their skill levels were worlds apart. The sports students were athletic experts, playing them was like pitting middle schoolers against kindergarteners.The sports boys were trash talking arrogantly. Two key players, Travis and Vincent, led the taunts. With abilities strong enough to play for the provincial association, they inspired fear."Well if it isn't the little brothers from finance! What made you think you could play us at basketball? Isn't that asking to be thrashed? Hey, you're missing a player right? Can't even get enough people, what's the point of playing? Just go home kiddos, save yourselves the
Still, the jocks swiftly formed an airtight defense with the towering Travis at the front. He was determined to stop Justin from making another basket.But Justin never gave him the chance. Dribbling up to the three-point line, Justin grinned coldly at the desperate defenders. With no jump, he simply flung the ball toward the distant hoop.The crowd watched in stunned silence. Even Travis scoffed internally at Justin's arrogance."What an idiot trying to show off. Not even I could make that shot from so far. He must be delusional to think he can swish it without even jumping. Moron."No sooner had the thought crossed Travis' mind than the ball swished perfectly through the net. It bounced loudly on the ground as shrieks of disbelief erupted.The arc had clearly exceeded Travis' blocking reach. Yet Justin's flawless shot was smooth as flowing water. The hardcore basketball fans leapt to their feet, roaring and chanting Justin's name. Sinking a net-only three-pointer without jumping was
"What do we do? Justin's on another level...he makes NBA stars look amateur. We're totally outmatched!""Don't whimper like a loser just because we lost one half. There's still time to crush them later. Get fired up! I don't want quitters on my squad," Travis growled."Easier said than done, boss. Justin's their MVP for sure now. We need a plan to contain him, or he'll keep clowning us.""Who said I don't have a plan? I've got an ace up my sleeve." Travis smirked. What ace could he possibly have? The jocks wondered anxiously.To ensure victory, Travis recruited provincial basketball team players as ringers - taking professional athletes to crush college kids was overkill, but he was desperate.Getting the whole team in would be impossible, so Travis turned to his brother Peyton, the team captain. The siblings shared superb athletic talent, but Peyton shone brighter and earned a provincial team spot.The 30-minute break ended swiftly. The finance team kept their lineup, now understand
"Miles, here's the situation - that student is from our Finance Department, his name is Justin Wilson, and he's also the CEO of Sunrise Corporation, a highly successful young entrepreneur in Nova City!" "What? He's that legendary Nova City tycoon Justin who strikes fear wherever his name is heard? I'd heard he was from a peasant background without any professional training, but how is he playing better than those pro athletes out there?Oh I see now, he must be a natural genius born to play basketball. We have to get him no matter the cost. I'll do whatever it takes to recruit him, anything he wants.Principal, after the game ends please help me to invite him over. I need to speak with him privately."Seeing the coach so excited, the principal didn't know what to say. He could only nod in agreement.After witnessing Justin's skills, the coach didn't go anywhere else. He just quietly waited in the stands, watching Justin's godly techniques in action.By this point, Peyton had lost all
"That's where you're wrong. Your goading won't work on me. I refuse because everything we've struggled for was achieved together with my brothers behind me. I won't waste all their hard work for my own sake, unlike you and your selfishness."This statement was met with thunderous applause and cheers.Listen to that - willing to be branded a coward to protect his team's interests. That's what a real man's sense of duty and responsibility looks like. And look at Peyton - he'll stop at nothing, using every dirty underhanded trick just to accomplish his own goal.Peyton was now just a clown, leaping about only to earn everyone's contempt. Even if he somehow won the game, it would be no honorable victory.Even Miles yelled out encouragement from the stands. Not only were this kid's skills unmatched, but his calm and principled approach to dealing with issues was outstanding. Recruiting someone like him would be a huge boon - Miles could envision the rise of a future sports star, no, basket
The ball was in Peyton's hands again. He swore not to be careless with this shot - the kid was clearly abnormal. He had to be 10 times, 100 times more vigilant, or he could flip over and drown in a gutter without even knowing how he died.This time, instead of driving straight to the hoop, he chose to try a new technique he had just learned recently. Though not skilled at it yet, it was his only resort when facing a powerful foe, otherwise he was doomed today. The humiliation would banish him from Nova City for good. He used his body to block Justin, constantly bumping to force him out of position. The disorientation could create an opportunity to score before Justin even realized what was happening.But trying this on Justin was thinking too simply. With X-ray Vision and a Steel Body, what chance did a mortal flesh bag have at budging a mountain?Justin merely slapped his wrist, and Peyton felt an electric jolt as half his body went numb, the ball involuntarily dropping from his gra
Hearing this, the Finance students reacted in shock. So this was the provincial team's head coach personally inviting Justin to become their new captain?That meant Justin would be replacing Peyton's position, rocketing up the ranks.The Phys Ed students gazed at Justin with envy, jealousy and hatred. This was their long sought after dream opportunity, which they had struggled bitterly to attain, yet Justin just strolled in, leading this group of Finance newbies for a single game, and easily obtained what they desperately coveted. For Justin it was like plucking fruit from a tree.The Finance students also watched enviously, but were more happy for Justin's sake. This brought great honor to their Nova City University, to their Finance Department. One of them becoming captain of the provincial basketball team, what an amazing feat! Let's see those Phys Ed jerks dare to strut arrogantly in front of them anymore, haha! Just thinking about it felt so satisfying!But Justin didn't see it t
"Don't mind him, Justin. The old geezer's always like this. Come now, time to eat. Our family is poor, unlike you rich folk. We don't have any exotic delicacies to entertain you. But these dishes are all my specialties - not to brag, but their taste rivals those famous 5-star hotel chefs, I guarantee!Let me tell you, this steamed fish and braised pork were made by Bella herself! Our girl only cooks with her own hands on holidays and special occasions." Bella's mother chattered on, oblivious to her daughter's deepening blush, soon red as a beet as she buried her face in embarrassment, the very image of a shy maiden."Mom, stop it! It's not like I never cook for you all. Must you make me sound like some idle lounging girl?" Bella mumbled almost inaudibly, voice dripping with charming shyness that made Justin's eyes pop out. My heavens, she's so gorgeous!"Aiyo, now the brat's shy! Enough, just come eat, Justin."Naturally, Justin needed no second invitation, washing his hands before s
