Since a group of idols was playing basketball, it was not strange that they had attracted plenty of onlookers.

Bayside University was Michael and Harry’s alma mater, so the two of them were often seen in school—up to the point where the students were no longer surprised to see them. At this moment, students who had nothing to do had gathered around to watch the game.

The two teams played with all they had. Sitting to one side, Sophia ate jellies, chocolates, and roasted seeds as she watched them battle it out.

During half-time, Michael quickly gathered his teammates to discuss strategies to defeat their opponent. The score was currently tied, so they had to be more aggressive than they were in the first half.

“All of you, take on the other three; leave Bailey to me!”

As they talked about the tactics they would use, Michael turned and saw the other team huddled together, discussing strategies as well. To his horror, he watched as Carmen scampered over with a bottle of water in hand. Giving the bottle to Bailey, she said sweetly, “Bailey, have some water!”

Bailey thanked her before accepting the bottle and taking a few small sips.

Boom, boom, boom!

In just a split second, thunderbolts struck Michael’s world. For the third time today, his eyes darkened, and he barely restrained himself from unleashing fury on Bailey.

Everyone understood right away. No wonder Michael wanted to have a go at Bailey so badly today!

Fortunately, Sophia had the good sense to bring Michael water, and she even gave him wet wipes to clean his face.

“That’s quite enough. It’s highly inappropriate to mistreat a kid and glower at him like this. Many people are watching!”

Gritting his teeth, Michael’s gaze was fixed on Bailey as he said in a low voice, “Stay out of this.”

Just watch; I’m going to end him today!

The second half of the game began. Michael had gone mad and focused on Bailey alone. With no consideration for his teammates’ assistance, they constantly lost possession of the ball.

In the end, they lost to their opponent by several points.

When they summed up their experience, everyone blamed Michael for being blinded by hatred. He didn’t care for teamwork, and he completely ignored the strategies they had decided to use, choosing to focus on Bailey instead.
