Chapter 180 - Revenge 179: Similarities Between Father and Son (2/2)
Aaron's face darkened when he heard Ophius mentioned his father in front of him. What Aaron hates the most is when people make a statement about his father in front of him; it is like a taboo word for him. Even his sister does not mention their father in front of him; she knows that he hates their father and she is being careful when they talk about their family.
”If I were you, I will be careful mentioning that man in front of me.” If Arion were to hear what his son had just said, he might not be able to take it wholeheartedly. Sadness will surely devour him.
Ophius stared at him and suddenly came into a realization. He was about to say something, but the announcement that the game is about to start cuts him off. ”I guess that's my cue. I'll talk to you again later, boss.” A smirk was plastered on his face after Ophius said that.
After Ophius left, Zen and Josh bombarded him a question about who Ophius and what did they talk about, ”You guys will get to know him soon, and right now, let's focus on the game.”
Aaron still has not forgotten about the bet he made with Lucia and remembering the penalty if he loses making his body shiver in horror. Just imagining himself wearing such clothes will become his nightmare every night.
”Gather up you little punks!” The Crystals' basketball team coach calling his players to gather around him and say his final encouragement for this game.
”Wow coach, is that how you call us now? That is not nice.” Though Ike said this in a playful tone, he is quite nervous for today's game. His last year game with the Tigers is nothing compared to the nervousness he is feeling right now.
”I can call you guys however I want!” In some point, all the hard times he was coaching this little punks in front of him was somewhat dissipating by calling them that. ”I'm going to keep this short...” Coach Jackson smiled at them, ”Whether we win or lose, you guys already made proud with the hard work you guys poured on your training.”
Coach Jackson is sincere with the words he just said. Even though Jackson wants to bring back to old glory days of Crytal High's basketball team, he still wants his players to have fun; it doesn't matter whether the Crystals lose again to the Tigers as long as his team players are having fun.
”Coach, losing this game is out of the question,” Josh said in a firm tone of voice, and his fellow two friends nodded in agreement on what he had just said.
Coach Jackson's lips twitched when these three annoying punks just ruined the moment he made. 'Can they not ruin the moment when the team is in a sentimental moment?' Sometimes these trios competitiveness is such a headache.
”Haha. Coach, you don't have to mind these three, the rest of us gets what you are trying to say here.” Hearing that statement from the captain of the team, coach Jackson somehow wants to cry of Chris' personality.
Out of all his players, Chris is the nicest of them all.
