Chapter 89
Immediately Ethan said the word The system sounded.
[Aura has been activated]
The system's voice echoed in Ethan's mind as he focused his gaze on Jay.
At that moment a wave of energy rippled through the air, invisible to the naked eye.
Jay's eyes widened in confusion, his mouth opening to hurl another insult. But before he could utter a word, his body seized up, his muscles contracting involuntarily. He clutched at his chest, a look of sheer terror etched on his face as he stumbled backwards and fell to his knees.
immediately sweat covered his forehead, he doesn't know what is going on but for some reason he's scared to the core.
The rest of the team couldn't understand what they were seeing; they couldn't help but just watch in stunned silence, their brains struggling to process what they were seeing.
One moment ago, Jay had been in full attack mode, ready to tear Ethan to shreds. The next, he was on the ground, quivering like a leaf in a hurricane.
Jay's eyes darted around wildly, his breath coming in filled with panicked gasps.
"please!"
he stammered, his voice barely above a whisper.
"Please, Ethan. I... I didn't mean it. I swear, all of those things I said I didn't mean any of them. Please forgive me, I'm so sorry."
Jay tried to tighten his lip but he couldn't, for some reason he can't get control of himself, deep down he doesn't want to be doing all of this, but his body is just reacting and he can't control them and now his mind is beginning to obey.
At that moment few of the players exchanged nervous glances, unsure whether to laugh or call for help. They had expected to see Ethan on his knees, begging for mercy today after everything Jay said before coming here.
But instead, it was Jay who was groveling at Ethan's feet, they were thinking jay was just acting earlier, but this is damn serious, and jay that they know would never such a thing to get at someone, some of them shake their head, they couldn't believe his tough-guy persona has been shattered into a million pieces.
They thought they had seen it all but Jay shocked them with his next words.
"I'll do anything, anything at all just name it."
Jay whimpered, his hands clasped in front of Ethan like a penitent sinner.
"Just... just make it stop. I can't... I can't breathe again."
At that moment he started to hyperventilate, his face turning a sickly shade of green.
he said, his voice a bit unsteady. "I'll... I'll let you know."
Ethan then exchanged numbers with Mike.
As Ethan walked away, Damien, the former team captain, felt a surge of anger rising in his chest.
"Who doesn't this kid think he's, strutting around commanding others like he owned everyone?"
he said to himself angrily.
Damien came from a wealthy family himself, and he wasn't about to let some upstart freshman show him up like he did in the match, and it made the Coach to drop him as the captain, and he was even reported for the video he posted, if not for his family influence to speak with the Coach to let it go, promised it would not happen again, he would have been out of the team already.
At that moment an idea began to form in his mind, a way to put Ethan in his place once and for all.
immediately he sidled up to Mike, with a sly grin on his face.
"Hey, man,"
he said, his voice low and conspiratorial.
"Why don't we have the party at my family's restaurant? I can get us a killer discount, and we'll have a big space all to ourselves as a team."
However Mike hesitated, sensing that Damien had an ulterior motive. But the lure of a cheap venue was too strong to resist and he wanted somewhere cheap for the party.
And at the same time he might be wrong at Damien he might want to do this out of generosity.
"Sure, Damien,"
he said, shrugging his shoulders. "Sounds good to me."
Both of them concluded then Mike walked away to make the arrangements.
At that moment Damien's face turned deadly.
He heard Ethan had blown all his money on that stupid bet he did with Billy. There was no way the kid could afford to foot the bill for an entire team dinner and in his family restaurant.
"Enjoy your moment in the sun, Ethan,"
Damien muttered under his breath. "Because after tonight, you'll be washing dishes until graduation to pay off your debt."
