Ethan sat at his desk inside the private study of his home, typing quietly on his laptop. Across from him, Richard stood holding his tablet, presenting a live feed of Campbell Media Group's stock performance and internal corporate communications.

"The situation at the university is escalating, Boss," Richard reported. "Miss Rose's public statement yesterday caused quite a stir on campus and online and it. In retaliation, Campbell Media Group released another wave of press releases. They are cla

    Dave turned his head away from the collapsed, panting form of Luis and glared sharply at Ethan, his brows set in a tight, angry frown."Are you happy now, Vance?" Dave snapped, pointing an accusing finger straight at Ethan. "Look at what you've caused! You're such a team breaker. How are we ever supposed to play basketball together again after everything you've just blown up?"Tariq let out a harsh, bitter laugh, stepping away from Marcus's grip and staring incredulously at Dave. "Play basketball? Are you out of your mind, Dave? Why the hell are you blaming Ethan right now? Luis is the one who caused all of this!""You don't get it…." Dave started to argue, his voice rising in frustration."No, you don't get it!" Tariq screamed, cutting him off instantly with a voice full of raw, unfiltered despair. "And what do you even mean 'play basketball'?! I can't even play anymore because of this fucking idiot! Because of this fucking liar!" Tariq jabbed an aggressive finger down toward Luis, w

    Marcus kept Luis pinned tightly against the cold concrete wall, his massive fingers bunched in the fabric of Luis's designer warmup jacket. His whole body shook with raw, uncontrolled fury as Luis clawed frantically at his wrists, gasping for air.Dave stepped forward from the side, his hands raised in a calming gesture as he watched Marcus lose control. "Marcus, man, stop! Let him go! What the hell are you doing?"Tariq rushed in right beside Dave, grabbing Marcus's shoulder and pulling back. "Are you out of your fucking mind, Marcus?! Let Luis go! Luis is not the enemy here, Vance is! Look at what this trash is doing to us, he's trying to tear the team apart!"Marcus snapped his head around, his eyes bloodshot and blazing with pure venom. He shoved Luis harder against the wall before turning his fierce glare onto Dave and Tariq."Are you guys completely fucking crazy?!" Marcus roared, his voice echoing in the empty hallway with deafening volume. "Did you not just hear what I read on

    Marcus stood frozen in the center of the hallway, his right fist still raised in the air just inches away from Ethan's face. The aggressive glare in his eyes flickered, replaced by confusion as Ethan spoke."Drop your hand, Marcus," Ethan said calmly, his hands resting easily in his pockets. "You don't need to punch me. You need to call your father."Marcus blinked, lowering his fist an inch. He looked at Ethan, then turned his head slowly to look at Luis, his brow furrowing deep with suspicion. "What do you mean? Why would I call my dad right now?"Luis stepped forward immediately, trying to keep a calm expression but failing as he forced a tight, nervous laugh. "Hey, Marcus, come on, man! Why would you even listen to him for a second? Why would you even think about calling your dad over what this guy is spitting? I already gave you my word about the contract. Don't listen to him. Let's just finish what we started here."Ethan didn't blink. He kept his steady eyes locked onto Marcu

    Luis Campbell leaned casually against the cold concrete wall, his unzipped designer warmup jacket hanging loosely off his broad shoulders while his face wore a smug, venomous sneer. He looked down at Ethan with pure, unadulterated contempt."Where do you think you're going, Vance?" Luis asked, his voice dripping with condescension and bitter mockery. "You think because you hit a couple of lucky shots during drills and took some cute photos with Cynthia that you own this place now? You think you run this campus?"Ethan didn't flinch or blink. He simply stood right in the center of the narrow hallway, holding his sports bag casually over his right shoulder. He knew they were planning on beating him up yet He looked at the four of them with a totally expressionless, calm face."Move out of the way, Luis," Ethan said smoothly, his voice flat and level.Luis let out a loud, mocking laugh that bounced sharply off the high concrete walls. "Listen to him, boys! The little idiot thinks he can

    The buzzer sounded for the start of the second half. The home crowd inside the packed Aethelgard arena was dead silent, staring nervously at the giant scoreboard.Vanguard State 42, Aethelgard 24.Ethan stepped onto the hardwood floor, his tall frame relaxed and his eyes calm. Beside him, Toby, Trent, and two other starters took their positions. On the bench, Luis, and three others that had been benched alongside him, sat glaring bitterly at Ethan's back."Alright, boys!" the Vanguard State point guard yelled, clapping his hands arrogantly. "They brought in the bench warmer! Pressure him! Break his spirit!"The referee handed the ball to Toby on the baseline. Toby looked up, his hands trembling slightly as Vanguard State set up a full-court double-team trap."Ethan!" Toby called out frantically, looking for help.Ethan didn't panic. In a fraction of a second, his Aegis eyes mapped out the entire floor. He saw the exact distance between the two defenders, the angle of their footwork, a

    The roaring noise inside the Aethelgard arena was deafening as the referee blew his whistle to start the first half.On the court, Vanguard State immediately set a strong, physical defense. Luis brought the ball up the floor, bouncing it lazily while looking around the stands to see if people were watching him."Pass the ball, Luis! Set up the offense!" Coach martin shouted from the sideline, cupping his hands around his mouth."I got this, Coach!" Luis called back arrogantly.Instead of passing to an open player, Luis attempted a risky dribble past two giant defenders. The ball was instantly slapped out of his hands, launching a fast break for Vanguard State that ended in a clean slam dunk.Vanguard State 2, Aethelgard 0.Ethan sat on the bench in his warm-up jacket, his posture completely relaxed. His sharp eyes calmly tracked every single movement on the court, calculating the exact timing and distance of Vanguard's defensive switches.Next to him, Toby bounced his knees nervously.
