In the spectator stands, Kenneth silently nodded in approval. To counter a nasty move, one had to fight back with the same level of grit.
"Captain Kenneth, have you noticed? This year, Hawk seems different," his teammate whispered sidelong.
Kenneth nodded. "Yeah, they remind me of the squad that took home the championship six times in a row. Looks like their so-called 'import' is that same coach from back then." "Darn, that makes things tricky."
Kenneth scratched his nose. "What's there to worry about? My bro's got game. If we stick to his playbook, we're golden."
With Percival in their corner, Kenneth felt fearless.
Elsewhere, Percival and Vivienne kept a close eye on the match.
"Aaron's skills have improved," Percival noted.
Vivienne's lips curled into a smile, "He was always good, just lacked the right synergy. A few pointers, and he figured it out himself."
Percival eyed Vivienne with a hint of jealousy. "Vivienne, don't praise other guys in front of me."
"Fine, I'll praise him behind your back."
"That's not allowed either."
Vivienne pinched Percival's cheek playfully. "Mr. Wolf, no sulking now."
Percival pressed his lips, choosing to respond not with words but with a bold move that left nothing to the imagination.
"Damn! The coach just kissed his fiancée!"
"Talk about spicy! This is live. Aren't they worried about the audience?"
Kenneth clenched his teeth in disgust. "Such an indecorous woman, still seducing my brother!"
Callum clicked his tongue. "Captain Kenneth, they're engaged. How does that have anything to do with seduction?"
"Just shut up."
