Dark Blood Age-Chapter 741 - Just wanting to score points once
Chapter 741: Chapter 741 Just wanting to score points once
The game ended without any suspense, and the team made of substitutes lost the game as expected by many people. Under the eyes of many people, there would not be any unreasonable miracles. Under Jacob’s own insistence, Chu Yunsheng didn’t do anything that was too out of the ordinary. After all, he still needed to follow the agreement he had with the guardian. But even that Jacob still got a lot of attention.
People often sympathized with the weak, especially when the difference between the two teams’ strengths was too great. From the physical appearance point of view, it was obvious that the main force team was bullying the substitute team. It was an “unfair” game.
But still, they hoped that the substitute team would perform well in the game.
And Jacob’s outstanding performance completely satisfied the audience. Perhaps compared with the main force team, his performance today would not be particularly conspicuous, but amongst other substitute players, his performance was as dazzling as a bright star.
He never gave up once. Every time he fell, he would get up quickly. Every time he was surrounded by Bear Brothers, he would break out of the encirclement using everything he got. He even repeatedly got rid of the Ace player – Tiger’s chase many times. Running on the green rugby field like a galloping horse, he seemed unstoppable.
Although Coach Gru still insisted stubbornly that Jacob was not suitable to be a real rugby player, he could not deny that in the second half of the game, when the substitute team was unable to block the main force team’s fierce attack, it was Jacob who broke into the main force’s team like a lonely hero who was fighting off a pack of wolves alone. The whole audience was seethed with excitement, and everyone burst into a huge wave of cheers for him.
When Jacob’s face was covered with bruises, he still did not give up the weak counterattack. When he was almost fighting with the entire main force team alone, and there was no one behind him, he charged again and again. When he was pressed hard on the grass, he still refused to let go of the ball.
All he wanted was to score points once!
Yes, just to score points once. With such a huge gap in strength, the substitute team couldn’t even score any point once!
In the beginning, Jacob was still encouraged by Chu Yunsheng. Then Jacob probably did it for a place for the University of Pennsylvania, or perhaps it was to show something to Emily, but in the end, everything was gone from his mind.
He comforted other players who had been substitutes for many years, again and again, asking them to pluck up the courage and finish the game. This was the real game that they, the substitute players, had dreamt to play in. They couldn’t just give up halfway.
He knew better than Chu Yunsheng, and even better than Gru, that this may be his last rugby game. Even if he arrived at university, he would be eliminated and would not have the opportunity to play again. Therefore, today, he didn’t want to leave any regret.
Except for those substitutes who loved rugby like him and were willing to serve as practice players for many years, no one could truly understand his feelings at this moment.
All he wanted was to score points once!
When Jacob was stopped by a group of main force players, he was just one step away from the touchdown. Everyone was on pins and needles when they saw Jacob still crawling frantically and desperately. Even his cousin Niels and Emily also became very nervous.
However, the reality was so cruel, the final whistle blew before Jacob was only a little away from the touchdown!
Chu Yunsheng originally wanted to help him, but he refused. In fact, from the second half, Jacob had been relying on his own strength to fight.
The whistle echoed on the green field, but there was no cheer of victory. The audience was silent, and the winning players also silently watched the substitute partners who they usually despise…
Jacob knelt on the touchdown line, yelling to the sky. The unwillingness, pain, loss, farewell… at this moment, all erupted.
The substitute player broke into tears, so did the Will family. The people in the audience covered their mouths, their eyes were moist. They understood the young man’s effort and dream. But his dream ended here, and could not move forward again.
He just wanted to score once. However, the reality was very cruel, it would not give him any chance.
Gradually the applause sounded, and it was getting louder and louder.
Only until this moment, the big cousin Niels remembered the real purpose of this trip. He ran to the guard rail, waving a small flag…
Jacob was today’s star, although he looked terrible with all the bruises on his face. After he was finally carried into the school infirmary, coach Gru was forced to talk to Jacob’s parents by Ba Yi.
Before Seina and Jerry could recover from Jacob’s cry at the end of the game, they suddenly received a huge surprise from Coach Gru. After finally recovering from the shock, they thanked him and said that they would follow the university’s request and leave for Philadelphia as soon as possible so Jacob would get familiar with the university in advance. For that reason, Seina Will told her whole family that there would be a celebration party for Jacob tonight.
While announcing this, all the family members turned their grateful eyes to Ashe. It made Ba Yi who was hiding in the corner snort in anger.
At night, after Jacob fell into a deep sleep, Chu Yunsheng woke up, standing alone at the window, looking at the dim street lamp on the street.
There was one thing he didn’t tell Jacob. The reason why he needed to go to Philadelphia was to kill vampires and then collect the aura of death. Although Chu Yunsheng wouldn’t die, there was a high possibility that Jacob would.
He didn’t know how many vampires were there in Philadelphia, and how many more would come to Philadelphia from Europe.
He knew that unable to control Jacob’s body freely was a big issue.
Suddenly, there was a slight knock on the door, and Ashe in pajamas opened the door and got in before getting a response from Chu Yunsheng. It seemed that she was able to tell at a glance when it was Chu Yunsheng who was controlling the body or it was Jacob who was controlling the body.
“What do you need?” Chu Yunsheng didn’t look back, and said indifferently.
“They contacted me.” Ashier hesitated, biting her lip, and said: “They already know that you are going to Philadelphia, and my task is to bring you to the ambush point.”
Chu Yunsheng’s eyes moved. He always felt strange why Ashe didn’t take the opportunity to escape. So he calmly said, “You betrayed them? Why?”
Ashe did not speak, she walked to the door of the room, opened the door gently again, and let in a sexy woman who was dressed in black.
