Chapter 207 - 206: Tease Them With The Idea Of Success And Then Crash Them With Reality
Inside the locker room, Mo Jing-sheng was hugging Kelly on the other hand, Eunji was giving Nathan his energy drink.
"Thanks Wifey." Nathan thanked her.
"Mm. So I guess you have some strategy up your sleeve? Or else I would believe that they're that good that they could defeat our team." Eunji added as she drag a stool and sit like a boss with her legs spread apart and her elbow resting on top of her thighs supporting her right chin while looking at him.
Nathan gulped down the desire building inside him because of how tempting Eunji looked.
"Ahem!" Someone cleared his throat while Kelly and Celine were giggling. On the other hand, Eunji raised her brows towards her husband.
Nathan also snapped back from his thoughts and looked away from Eunji after a split second and then looked at his team mates.
"The first two quarters made us know their capabilities. They're good on defense and faking fouls. We let them think that we're playing their game.
Now that they're on the lead, they'd think that we're letting them have the entire game when in fact, we aren't. Everyone, let us not show that they're dirty tricks were working if they did to you. The first person to be pissed would always lose. Remember that! Let's beat them on their own game. And by the fourth, let's play our own game. Let them dance into our basketball." Nathan meaningfully said.
Though they were their juniors, these seniors will show them who are the real Kings in court. And Nathan mean it.
"Good. Cause I didn't marry a quitter." Eunji meaningfully said.
"Oh!" Everyone teased the couple.
"Of course, we were born winners and we will show that to them!" Hua Zhang Wei said.
"Wow Master Hua, I love the confidence!" Celine joined in teasing.
Everyone was laughing and were in high spirits. This helped them in releasing the tension off their body.
This team need no coach because they knew what they were doing.
They listened and connect with their members really well. Their actions were cohesive. Of course, they knew and trust each other really well.
Everyone then went out of the locker room and proceed to the bench.
Everyone felt a cold running down their spine when they saw Nathan's team going into their assigned bench as they changed court.
Nathan's looking straight ahead ignoring everyone. On the other hand, Eunji was holding his hand giving it a gentle squeeze.
It's still five minutes before the second half would start and the announcer was having a good time entertaining the audience by throwing many games.
They were asking volunteers from the audience to participate. Whoever could shoot the ball from the half court, could ask any request from Nathan himself. And Nathan must not decline the request.
"Seems like the announcer was courting death." Kelly mumbled.
The announcer meant no harm. It's up to the winner or winners on how to take this once in a lifetime opportunity given to him or her.
Everyone thought this was a great idea too so they decided to line up to give it a try.
There were seven volunteers all in all.
Three of them tried but then the ball they threw could not even reach three meters from them as their ball went down seconds after it was thrown.
The fourth one was good as it almost reached the basket. Almost...which meant it was not enough.
The next person also tried her best but it hit the backboard instead of the basket.
Two more left and they would know the outcome of this little game.
The sixth contender was the same as the other first three.
When the seventh volunteer was presented, everyone in the crowd went into uproar.
"Oh my gosh! Celine!" Everyone in the crowd was in a hype when they saw Celine.
"Celine! I love you!" One fan screamed the top of his lungs.
Celine returned it by waving her hand.
The announcer was not an exemption either.
"What a surprise to see Celine here! Would you like to say hello to your fans?" The announcer didn't waste the opportunity and asked Celine.
"Well, hello Imperial University! It's so good to be here! And of course it's all thanks to that guy right there!" she said while pointing at Nathan.
"That guy right there invited me to join and attend your founding anniversary celebration that's why I am here."
Celine then looked at Nathan and grinned like a little devil.
She then chose her ball and positioned herself behind the half-court line.
She then dribbled it once and then tossed the ball.
Of course the ball fell down midway. But an unexpected thing happened, the ball bounce higher and it formed an arch towards directly to the ring.
Everyone went into an uproar.
"Does that count?" Celine cutely asked.
"The rule said to shoot the ball beyond the half-court line. There's no rule onto how." The announcer said.
"Then cool!" Celine excitedly said.
"Then can I claim my price?" She asked as she looked at Nathan.
'It's payback time.' Celine thought mischievously.
Grabbing the microphone, she then looked at Nathan and Eunji.
"Mr. Bai. I love you! Can I sleep with you tonight? I miss sleeping with you in bed." Celine seductively said which caused everyone in the audience reacted into another uproar.
Last night, she kind of hear the people calling her as Nathan's mistress since they didn't know her real relationship with him.
"What?!" One student asked in confusion.
"I told you, once a playboy, always a playboy." One even said as a matter of factly.
Now everyone was waiting for Nathan's response.
Celine and Nathan had not announced to the public that they were siblings yet. So she used it as an advantage to tease Nathan.
"Master Bai, ahm...everyone's waiting for your response." The announcer said.
"I don't know. Ask your sister-in-law first. If she agreed to your request, then I'll let you sleep with me. Just for tonight. But if not, then I'm sorry, I could not. After all, she's the decision-maker between us." 'If you think your tricks will work on me, then I'm sorry my dear sister, I won't let you.' He continued on his thought.
"I'm sorry Yuki-neechan but we need Nathan's warmth. I could not sleep without him." Eunji apologized.
"Haish! You both are no fun. I should have asked sister-in-law to divorce you Nathan-niichan." Celine mumbled to herself in Nihonggo but because she was holding a microphone, everyone heard what she was mumbling.
Not many were Japanese language speakers in the crowd thus they didn't know what she's mumbling about. But soon, Celine would reveal it herself and this would cause an uproar for the nth time of the day.
"Okay, fine! You'll sleep with us. Our bed is kind of bigger for Nathan and I. You can sleep beside me." Eunji said because she liked Celine's smell, too.
"Jeez! What a vague couple!"
"A threesome?"
"Disgusting!"
"Stop it people! It's not what you all think." Kelly heard that and of course, there's no way she would let these people to say bad words to Nathan. Especially to Eunji. And no! She would not let her and Madame Mo's efforts in matching these two to turn into waste.
"Yuki, if you want to sleep with me and my wife then I think you should find a husband yourself as soon as possible! Stop messing around!" Nathan's scolding made everyone to stop from gossiping.
"Eh? What's going on?"
Seeing Nathan's slightly angry face, Celine smiled.
"You're really no fun to play with Brother. But, of course, who am I to refuse sister-in-law's offer?" Celine teased her brother even more.
'Sharing my wife with someone else? No way!' Nathan thought.
Celine knew that Eunji was his kryptonite so she used it to her advantage. Also, she knew her brother would be possessive but not to this extent.
It's just a night and besides, he would be with them, too. And they had slept countless of times before when they were on their teens.
Most importantly, they were womb mates. He should not be jealous of her at least. Yet he did.
Her only goal is to piss him even if it's their birthday today and guess, she got it. She even made Eunji her accomplice.
Ever since they met and knew that they were siblings, Nathan would always have that smirk on his face after he was done bullying her.
Smirking deep inside, she walked towards the bench leaving everyone speechless and dumbfounded.
This was big news and worthy to be the headlines of entertainment gossip.
'The Tech Magnate and the Nation's Crush are Actually Siblings!'
Sadly, no phones were allowed in the complex. Therefore, they didn't got the chance to record their conversation in video.
This made them sad in their hearts.
But deep inside, they felt so giddy.
"How's my acting Eunjichan?"
"You did great Yuki-neechan!" Eunji said while showing her two thumbs up.
"So, I'm really going to sleep beside you both tonight?" Celine asked Eunji in confirmation.
"En! Sure."
"Then, what about Nii-chan?" Eunji then looked at Nathan who was now huddling with the rest on their courtside.
The game was about to start.
"Just let him be. These little peanuts liked you around." Eunji meaningfully said.
"Cool. Then, I'll be their best Aunty!" Celine said proudly.
The buzzer buzzed. Marking the sart of the second half.
Nathan was the one holding the ball as he dribbled towards the opponent's ring.
The team scored a couple of baskets, so did their opponents.
But still, their opponent managed to keep their lead. But no leads were safe in every game.
Five minutes passed the game clock, Nathan called a time out not to regroup but to start their game plan.
The five immediately changed their demeanor and their aura was very intimidating.
It was like they were out to kill whoever would want to stop them.
These students only played basketball in court.
Whereas they played against many dirty plays and tricks in the business world every single time. Most importantly in real life. Therefore, they were veterans when it comes to mind games.
So even if Nathan and the rest, rarely played basketball because of their schedule, they had enough skills to win this game.
This was when seniority would prevail.
Though they were playing defense after the timeout, Jeong Ho was able to poke the ball and bounce it towards J who was waiting for the opportunity.
J then took the ball and dribbled going to the opponent's basket.
But seeing that his team mates were heavily guarded, he stepped back and made a shot behind the rainbow line.
Nathan then signaled to play defense.
They used their auras to intimidate or destruct the players making them to commit mistakes.
"You have to eat tons of rice before you could even surpass us." Nathan meaningfully said to the player guarding him.
They had been dirty talking Nathan's team during the last two quarters. But Nathan and the rest paid them no attention.
They were pathetic to think that their little words would affect Nathan and the rest.
It was like they were barking the wrong tree. Or a fly trying to get the elephant's attention.
Now, it's time for the real game to begin.
And with that, Nathan's team made a staggering fifteen-zero run.
And on the last quarter, they made another fifteen-zero run extending their lead even more and winning the game by astounding twenty points!
Everyone felt pity for the opposing team.
It was supposed to be a friendly match. But in the end, it was a bloody one!
Nathan's team was so cruel and didn't even let the pitiful kids off their hook.
No wonder these five were ruling the business world successfully these days.
They were so cruel to their opponents no matter who they were.
"So scary!"
The sweetest victory is the victory gained by playing with your enemy's feelings.
Let them think that they're going to win and when the time is right, reveal your trump cards and mercilessly make a big come back which they could not even surpass.
Tease them with the idea of success and then crash them with reality.
