Ch.339Let’s go there first

Some successful people claim they have no talent and rose solely through effort.

‘That’s nonsense.’

Cade Walker despised people who said such things.

One should be straightforward about acknowledging things.

They want to place higher value on the time they spent working hard.

A defensive reaction because being told they “have talent” feels like it diminishes their efforts.

While he understood why they felt that way.

‘Everyone works equally hard, but the difference is whether talent supports you or not.’

Talent is essential in doing anything.

The biggest factor of talent, in Cade’s opinion, was enjoyment.

You can keep going because you enjoy it.

Despite failing numerous times, you can get back up because it’s fun.

The more you do it, the more fun it becomes, and the more you know, the more exciting it gets.

Because every action is enjoyable, momentum continuously builds.

Looking at stories of “geniuses” who say “studying is fun.”

That’s precisely what it means to have talent for studying.

Finding several times more enjoyment in a specific activity than ordinary people.

That was Cade’s definition of talent, and now, for the first time in his life.

“…I almost stopped enjoying football.”

He witnessed talent greater than his own.

Before he could throw the ball.

Kim Donghu sharply cut in, knocked away his ball and stole it in that moment.

Thwack!

Cade realized that for the first time in his life, he’d been stripped of the ball by an amateur.

Midway through the first half.

In a situation where they were clearly and overwhelmingly winning.

During a pre-snap, facing each other before throwing the ball.

That’s when Kim Donghu, hidden in a blind spot, suddenly intercepted his ball.

Even though his position was linebacker.

Getting the ball stolen as a quarterback in an exhibition game? While holding it?

This was an impossible situation.

But the problem didn’t end with stealing the ball.

“B-block him!”

Thud!

After stealing the ball, Kim Donghu, disregarding the resistance of numerous linemen.

Tap.

Grabbed the ball that had fallen to the ground and then.

“…He’s going for a touchdown?”

He scored.

“…This crazy bastard.”

Edward’s expression contorted when his signature move was stolen.

“Is this also possible now?”

Zain Lance laughed in disbelief.

Having faced Kim Donghu up close more than anyone else.

They knew exactly what he had just done.

‘This… scoring points isn’t what matters here.’

‘It’s not about improved teamwork or combination play.’

He just did it alone.

In a game fought 11vs11.

He suddenly declared a 1vs11 and pushed through.

An impossible physical gift.

And the judgment to execute it precisely.

Despite all enemies watching him,

The positioning ability to cut into blind spots.

‘What… it’s like some calamity dropped from the sky standing right in front of us.’

It was so absurd that words failed.

Despite this, Cade had actually been hoping for such a scenario.

After being defeated in Physical 300.

He had constantly wondered what it would be like if they met in a match.

‘I’ll take the linebacker position and steal your ball.’

Honestly, from this moment on, Team Kim had only one strategy.

The quarterback run, where the quarterback doesn’t throw the ball but carries it himself for a breakthrough.

‘Just stop that. Just stop that.’

With such determination.

Just as Cade Walker was steeling himself to never utter “those words”…

“How much do you think you can do alone!”

“You think you can do everything by yourself?! Do you think this is some kind of martial art match!”

Edward and Zain Lance couldn’t hold back and blurted out “those words.”

Loser flag phrases uttered by losers.

Truly the worst, Cade thought.

++++++

“Spectacularly reversing that enormous score difference!”

“Team Kim proudly claims the glory of victory in the Super Bowl Event Football Match!”

“Ah, this is really unbelievable, you know?”

“Frankly speaking, he could be a first-round draft pick if he entered the draft right now.”

At the end of the game.

The commentators continued their broadcast, openly expressing their excitement.

“Honestly, I might get criticized for saying this, but what Donghu Kim showed today was truly… legendary. I thought he was a professional.”

“That’s right. Frankly, there were such aspects, especially that chase with Cade was unbelievable!”

“In the latter part… but is that record really true? That he momentarily ran 40 yards in 4.1 seconds….”

“Since it’s an exhibition match, it can’t be officially recorded… but according to measurements, it’s true.”

To be precise, 40 yards in 4.19 seconds.

This is a record that has never been officially achieved.

Unofficially, the last time was back in the 1900s.

And he achieved it? An actor, not even a player?

People thought it was nonsense.

They said there must have been some error with the equipment.

‘How could that be?’

The video of the exhibition match had already been uploaded to YouTube as definitive evidence.

The tackle of Cade, currently the strongest linebacker.

Thud!

Strongly pushing away with one hand while.

Using that impact to fly even faster in an instant.

That impossible feat was clearly recorded on video.

1vs11.

That unbelievable achievement dramatically boosted the Super Bowl exhibition match ratings.

It was even said that such numbers wouldn’t be achieved again unless Kim Donghu was brought back.

After the successful conclusion of the exhibition match.

A natural after-party followed.

The players who participated in the exhibition game continued their conversations in a light party atmosphere.

Except for two people.

Kim Donghu and Natalie Beltman.

“Are you Fate?”

“W-what?!”

The two had slipped away to the banquet hall balcony and were having a private conversation.

“It shows a lot, deliberately trying to cause me injury during the game and all.”

“N-no, what are you… Fate, you say?”

“Deliberately staying behind me all the time too… normally we wouldn’t have known each other.”

Because you showed your intention to ruin me so aggressively.

Even Sims noticed you in the end.

Kim Donghu said just that much and shrugged his shoulders.

Now you’ve gone so far as to reveal yourself directly.

‘But why a woman?’

Knowing you couldn’t defeat me human to human.

Were you trying to use feminine wiles?

Unfortunately, I already had five wives (planned).

How could I possibly take on one more in this situation?

‘Polygamy is also… not far off now.’

The moment it becomes legal, wedding ceremonies would begin immediately.

First, utilizing the knighthood received in England.

The plan was to hold a wedding at St. Paul’s Cathedral.

As grand and splendid as possible.

‘Even inviting just acquaintances would easily be thousands of people, so the largest venue makes sense.’

Anyway.

“Don’t you think I’m too far along my trajectory for you to interfere now?”

“You could fall anytime. What if I appear in a movie you’re filming and interfere?”

“I can just replace you, I’m in that position now.”

For a confrontation with Fate, it was an incredibly anticlimactic conversation.

Well, since direct killing was no longer an option.

Having compromised on just causing injury, what more was there to discuss?

‘Just… do well in my movie?’

There’s no direct love line between EJ and Morgan Stark in Arcborn.

If anything, Morgan also appears as part of the support cast.

If the series continues successfully, her appearances would gradually decrease from the second film.

It feels like things are really getting sorted out one by one.

The time has come to focus entirely on building my career.

‘Time to continue this crazy run.’

If Fate wasn’t visible, that would be one thing.

But how reassuring it is to see it.

‘The unseen blade is the deadliest.’

Does Fate not know such proverbs?

++++++

March, after all the Super Bowl events had ended.

I continued filming.

Murciélago – Black Smoke and Arcborn.

In addition to SIN-NEW Bullet.

‘So the “sin” in Shin Seoyul was… that sin.’

Perhaps because there were too many works to succeed.

Now my schedule was so murderous that even calling it busy was insufficient.

Especially.

“The script has been revised again?”

“Yes, seems like there’s a lot they want to change regarding Shin Seoyul.”

How should I describe the sequel to John Wick?

It really feels like betting on the last remaining bullet.

Script revisions happened endlessly.

And accordingly.

Ding!

Ding!

Ding!

The ratings also constantly changed.

Sometimes A+.

Sometimes C.

With various ratings appearing, finally the highest rating appeared:

<SIN-NEW Bullet, S+>

S+ it was.

Currently, I’m filming three S+ rated scripts.

But coincidentally or not.

The release timing of these three was strangely similar.

‘…If all three are released around the same time, what happens? Or in the same year?’

Am I competing against myself? With three works?

Thinking that.

‘Let’s go in for now.’

Whoosh!

I entered the <SIN-NEW Bullet, S+> script.
