Godly Investor: A Hundred Trillion Dollars For Investment And Donations Chapter 39

Ethan brows pushed up a little, he was surprised to hear Mike, the vice captain supporting him.

Imdiately he nodded.

He tried to breathe.

Then the ref blew his whistle.

Damien walked out to midfield for the coin toss.

Ethan at that mont looked around.

His gaze fixed on the Knights defense, snarling at him.

He then faced the crowd, which was like a sea of painted faces and waving signs.

At that mont his gaze caught Lady Madison, up in her box watching him.

Ethan's heart skipped imdiately.

"She is looking at him, I know she ca for her kettle, not the ga"

Ethan's head was full of thought he didn't know what he's going to do at that mont.

"When the ga is over I will just go explain things to her, she might listen to , I'm not the sa guy they dealt with before things have changed, I will look for a way to pay her back."

At that mont he swallowed hard.

He knew that was not his issue now, all his focus was on the ga.

He couldn't think about the kettle now. He had to focus.

The Tigers won the toss. which ans they would receive.

Mike jogged to Ethan again, he needed to explain things to him.

"Okay, rookie"

He said with a low voice.

"First play is a run. Right up the middle. can you handle it?"

Ethan nodded.

"I can do it"

"Good."

Mike said.

"Then let's go shock them"

He clapped Ethan on the helt and ran back to the huddle.

Ethan got into position. He dug his cleats into the turf.

"This is it. My big mont. My chance to prove myself. To show everyone what I can do."

The crowd noise faded away. All Ethan heard was his own breathing.

His own heartbeat.

The referee blow his whistle

The ball was snapped. And the linen crashed together.

And Ethan ran imdiately he saw the hand off from Mike.

He took the handoff from Mike. He saw a hole open up.

He shot through it, his legs pumping.

The Knights blackline grabbed at Ethan.

One of them dived for his ankles.

But Ethan was too quick.

He burst into the secondary.

imdiately the crowd gasped. Then they roared.

"Go! Go!!!"

"Go!!"

Ethan was flying. He was like a blur of orange and black.

Twenty yards. Thirty.

He could see the goal line.

" I'm going to make it."

As Ethan was running towards the goal line out of nowhere, a Knight player grabbed him from behind. Ethan stumbled.

He fought to stay on his feet. But another Knight hit him. And another.

They dragged him down. At that mont the ball squirted loose.

Another Knights pounced on it. Fumble. Their ball.

Ethan at that mont lay on the ground.

Dazed.

He couldn't believe he was hit so hard and strong, he wasn't expecting it.

The Knights celebrated around him. They laughed..

Mike walked closer to Ethan and helped him up. He patted his back.

"It's okay."

Mike said.

"Shake it off. We'll get it back."

But Ethan barely heard him. He was looking up at Lady Madison who was standing on her feet, he didn't know what could be making lady Madison standing on her feet.

And from the little he could see she was frowning. Shaking her head.

Ethan's heart sank. seeing how lady Madison is reacting he knows it was because of the tackle, she must be wanting to deal with him so badly.

He couldn't believe what was happening to him now his team was losing. And Lady Madison looked as if she was going to kill him.

"I'm sorry"

he whispered.

Mike at that mont grabbed Ethan's facemask. He made sure Ethan is looking at him in the face.

"Hey."

He said.

"It's not over. We're still in this. You're still in this."

He slapped Ethan's helt imdiately.

"Now get your head in the ga. We need you."

upon hearing what mike said to him Ethan at that mont took a deep breath.

"Mike is right, I can't feel so down just because of just one play. One mistake and I'm acting as if we have Lost the ga.

I can't let it define . I can't give up not after how I got here the trust the coach has in ."

Ethan's eyes turned deadly imdiately as the Knights were lining up to run a play.

The Tigers' defense took their positions.

At that mont soone ran into the field and the security guard was busy chasing after him.

And the Coach saw an opportunity to call Ethan over.

Ethan walked to the sideline. Coach Johnson saw the disappointing look on Ethan's face so he decided to calm him down.

"You okay?"

Coach asked, his voice filled with Curiosity.

Ethan nodded.

"Good"

The Coach then said.

"Because the next throw is going right back to you. Even the next, you will be getting more of the ball. I told Mike what to do, and I know you wouldn't be disappointing."

Upon hearing what the coach said Ethan blinked.

"But Coach, I fumbled..."

"So what?"

The Coach said.

"Listen to Ethan, you think great backs never fumble? but let remind you they do. if fact all the ti."

imdiately he grabbed Ethan's shoulder pads.

"The great ones forget about it. They put it behind them. And they make the next play."

He looked into Ethan's eyes without even blinking.

"You're a great one, Ethan. I know it. and I expect you to put it behind you and fight on."

Ethan's jaw tightened at that mont. He could tell the coach has as much trust in him and it would be wrong for him to disappoint. He has a system that gives him everything he wants, yet he's acting as if he's not strong.

At that mont he nodded at the coach.

"Now go out there and show them. Show them all what you're capable of."

Ethan at that mont felt a surge of energy burning through him. The Coach believed in him.

Even after he ssed up, the Coach still believed.

Ethan nodded, he wouldn't let the coach down again. He wouldn't let any of his teammates down.

The security successfully took the person that ran into the field out and Ethan ran back to position.

His face was squeezed, he looked fired up.

The Tigers' defense held. The Knights had to punt.
