When “God” Decides To Start Over - Chapter 40

Chapter 40 Earning His Place

Baal stood in front of the goal, panting as he looked at Li Xiu. The ruthlessness and frenzy in his eyes had decreased significantly.

At that moment, Li Xiu seemed much taller than before. He stood in front of the goal like a mountain.

“Anymore?” Li Xiu stood in front of the goal and asked Baal calmly.

Baal’s pupils constricted and the corners of his eyes twitched. Just as Fatty and company thought that Baal was about to fly into a rage and directly engage in a real-life duel, Baal suddenly grinned.

“I’m done. You’re a f*cking monster.” With that said, Baal turned around and walked towards the resting area without looking

back.

“Bro, come, come with me. Let’s go to my office and talk about the contract…” The fatty warmly pulled Li Xiu inside.

The other team members looked at Li Xiu with curiosity. Kunsha was lying on a bench in the resting area with a towel covering his face as though he had long fallen asleep.

“Boss, I’ve found a treasure. We have our starting goalie.” The fatty pushed open the door and rushed into his boss’s office excitedly.

He suddenly realized that there were two other people in the office. He hurriedly stood at attention and restrained the excitement on his face like an obedient child.

Shachu frowned, but she didn’t reprimand the fatty. She only said to him, “This is Pason and his manager, Miss Zheng. In the future, Pason will be our team’s starting goalie. I expect good teamwork from you guys.”

“Goalie?” The fatty was taken aback as he sized up the man and woman sitting on the sofa.

The woman was very beautiful. She had the classic appearance of a Tyroian. Her facial features were rather well-defined and not too soft.

The man also looked like the typical Tyroian

—a resolute and ferocious look. He was tall but not fat. He looked like he was capable of delivering intense bursts of strength.

“Shachu, although we are good friends, friendship is one thing, but soccer is another. If there are other choices for the Berserkers’ goalie position, Pason can earn his place. Whoever is more suitable for this position will be the starter,” Zheng Xiu said domineeringly.

“There’s no need. I know Pason’s strength very well. Since he’s willing to join my team, the position of starting goalie is naturally his,” said Shachu indifferently.

“Boss, Miss Zheng has good intentions. Why don’t we let them give it a try?” the fatty whispered.

He didn’t know the origins of this Pason and Miss Zheng, but he thought highly of Li Xiu. Li Xiu’s performance today had completely won him over.

If it were any other time, he definitely wouldn’t say no to Shachu, but today, he really wanted to keep Li Xiu on the team.

This was because Li Xiu had made it very clear that if he wanted him to join the team, he had to be in the starting lineup. Otherwise, there was no room for negotiation.

Shachu glanced at the fatty in surprise. This fellow was usually a wolf in sheep’s clothing and never went against her wishes.

Was

Today, he was actually speaking up for an uncontracted newcomer. Furthermore, she had already said that she wanted Pason to be the starting goalie. It surprised Shachu.

“Fair competition. That’s very reasonable,” Zheng Xiu raised her eyebrows and said indifferently.

“Who’s the goalie you want to sign?” Shachu asked after some thought. “His name is Li Xiu, a foreigner who just arrived in Tyro,” the fatty hurriedly said.

“How’s the strengthening of his body? What trial skills does he have?” Shachu asked again.

“His body is about the same as an ordinary player’s, but his technique is amazing. He’s ridiculously good.” In fact, Fatty had already embellished Li Xiu’s physique. Li Xiu’s physique was only considered below average among ordinary players.

When Zheng Xiu heard the fatty say that, she laughed. “It’s good to be skilled, but are you sure that an ordinary player’s physique can keep up?”

“Well…” How could Fatty be sure? Li Xiu’s technique was good, but he knew what his team was up against in the league. There were people who were even more ferocious than Baal.

Fatty couldn’t guarantee that Li Xiu could last a season with his physique.

“How about this? Sign the person you choose as a substitute for Pason,” said Shachu.

“He said that if I want to sign a contract with him, I have to give him the starting position,” the fatty said with a bitter smile. He really wanted to sign Li Xiu, but he didn’t want to pay any price for him.

“Shachu, don’t make things difficult for yourself. How about this? Let the two of them give it a try and decide who shall be the starter.” Zheng Xiu had absolute confidence in Pason.

“Alright, let’s just treat it as getting Pason to meet the other players on the team.” After Shachu said that, she said to the fatty, “Arrange for a test for that person with Pason.”

The fatty gaped, at a loss for words. He eventually turned around and went out to make arrangements.

“Shachu, don’t take this badly, but it’s no wonder your team’s results haven’t been spectacular recently. Look at who you have. You can’t keep coddling them. You clearly have someone as good as Kunsha. Would the team be in such a situation if you hadn’t put in more effort?” Zheng Xiu said with a smile.

“They are all old players left behind by my father. We owe them something,” Shachu said indifferently.

“You are just too sentimental,” Zheng Xiu said with a smile.

“Let’s go. Let Pason meet everyone. Kunsha is also here today. Pason, you should want to meet him, right?” Shachu stood up and said.

Upon hearing Kunsha’s name, Pason’s eyes lit up as he stood up.

Shachu was more than 1.7 meters tall and wasn’t short. Pason was a head taller than her and looked extremely oppressive.

When the fatty returned to his office, Li Xiu was sitting in a chair waiting for him.

“Ahem, Bro, something cropped up. I didn’t know that the boss had found a goalie. I’m afraid it will be a little troublesome this time.” The fatty scratched his head in embarrassment.

“In that case, I’ll leave.” When Li Xiu heard that the boss had already found someone, he knew that there was no chance. He got up and prepared to leave.

“Don’t, don’t, don’t. That’s not what I mean. I like you, but I can’t do anything when it’s a person the boss got. Our boss wants you to be tested with that Pason. She’ll come personally to see who’s more suitable to be the starter.” The fatty hurriedly pulled Li Xiu back.

“Another test?” Li Xiu frowned slightly.

“That’s right. One more test. I guarantee that as long as you perform well enough this time, the starting spot will definitely be yours.” The fatty started drawing pretty pictures of the future.

“Since I’m already here, let’s give it another try.” Li Xiu didn’t mind. It would still take time to take the test with other teams.

Furthermore, being able to perform in front of the team’s boss was the best outcome for Li Xiu.

He followed the fatty back to the field, but to his surprise, the field was in an uproar. “That’s Pason, right?” Many of the team members pointed at Pason, who was standing in front of Kunsha.
