Iron Body.

At this moment, fans watching from Cleveland began cursing at the TV. And not just them—fans in New York, Chicago, and other cities where LeBron James was rumored to go were also cursing him.

Of course, Han Sen couldn't hear these curses from inside. Instead, he could hear the excited cheers coming from outside. Miami, where the Heat were seen as the frontrunners, had the largest gathering of fans watching 'The Decision'.

Inside the room, however, the three men's expressions were mixed.

Wade was relieved but showed no real excitement. His emotions were obviously conflicted, as weighing the pros and cons wasn't easy. Bosh frowned, likely the least willing of the three to team up, but he had already committed to playing with Wade, leaving him little choice.

As for Han Sen, he was holding back his excitement. His plan could finally move forward, and next season, he wouldn't have to deal with injuries anymore! If luck was on his side, he might even unlock another first-tier talent.

Just then, both Wade and Bosh received calls from Riley and Thomas.

"Han, we probably won't be able to continue training together for a while," Wade said.

They had been informed about their upcoming schedule, which included a media blitz to promote the new season.

Wade's previous conflicted emotions disappeared, replaced by excitement. The decision had been made, and the difficult weighing of pros and cons was now in the past. Now, it was all about looking forward to the future—how many championships could this team of three superstars win?

"I'm heading back to Memphis. Let me know if you want to train together again," Han Sen said, taking his leave. 

Now, all he had to do was wait for the right moment to put his plan into action.

The aftermath of LeBron's 'The Decision' began to unfold later that same evening.

At the ESPY Awards, the host joked: "LeBron announced on 'The Decision' that he would join the Miami Heat. We all witnessed it... a super boring one-hour program." 

The crowd burst into laughter at the sharp humor. Little did LeBron know that the first to mock him would be ESPN itself.

The next day, Dan Gilbert, owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers, released an open letter on social media:

"LeBron's narcissistic departure was the act of a coward, a betrayal from a man who calls himself a king."

"This shocking disloyalty comes from a so-called 'Chosen One' raised in our own hometown, giving everyone a perfect example of what not to do."

"We would never want to teach our kids to be like that, nor would we ever want them to follow his example."

You could feel Gilbert's fury through his words.

After all, he had done everything he could over the last seven years to build team after team for LeBron, paying high luxury taxes every year despite Cleveland being a small market.

Han Sen understood Gilbert's feelings.

After his excellent playoff performance, the Cavs had traded him to Memphis in their desperate bid to keep LeBron.

Now, the Cavaliers were left with nothing, as the famous phrase goes: "The simps always lose".

However, Han didn't think Gilbert's actions were entirely justified. Public figures like Gilbert have a huge influence on their audiences.

Gilbert's letter set off a massive chain reaction. First, the Cavaliers' poster staff got to work, removing every LeBron-related image as quickly as possible. Next, GM Danny Ferry was fired and replaced by his assistant, Chris Grant.

Finally, inspired by the letter, fans gathered outside LeBron's Cleveland mansion. Some started ripping up and burning LeBron's jerseys, as if ready to storm the place like an angry mob.

More fans flooded LeBron's social media, bombarding him with the filthiest insults they could think of.

"Han had it right—you're nothing but a coward. You shouldn't call yourself a king, but a queen."

"Jordan wouldn't team up with Barkley or Olajuwon after losing to the Pistons. You're not even close to his level, and that was obvious the moment you chose to run away."

"You're a sellout. The management traded Han to keep you, and you've ditched us? Do you know how much we loved Han?!"

"Danny Ferry was just your lackey, but Han was our future, and you both ruined it!"

"Thanks to you, we're the biggest joke of this free agency. Delonte West had it right—screw you!"

"I refuse to believe the Cavs traded Han without some promise from you. Gilbert's right—you're not just a coward, you're a traitor too."

And the most ruthless: "Mark my words: in a few years, when you retire without a ring, you'll regret this decision!"

However, LeBron had no time to pay attention to these comments. He and his team had already arrived in Miami.

Two days later, Han Sen watched another historic broadcast—Wade, LeBron, and Bosh made their first public appearance as a trio at the Heat's fan event.

LeBron and Bosh were already wearing their new Heat jerseys. The camera cut to Pat Riley—though Thomas had spearheaded Wade and Bosh's partnership, Riley's influence was undeniable in forming this superteam.

When LeBron took the mic, he uttered one of the most iconic lines of his career:

"Not one, not two, not three… not seven."

He wasn't just promising one or two championships—he was aiming for seven.

Compared to Han Sen's promise of bringing a championship to Memphis, LeBron's ambition was way bolder.

Through the TV screen, Han could sense Wade's awkwardness. Wade had mentioned earlier that once the trio formed, there was no turning back. Now LeBron had taken it further—there wasn't just no retreat, the way forward was locked too. 

If they didn't win seven championships, LeBron's words would become an infamous joke.

Why seven? Because seven is greater than six.

LeBron wasn't content with matching Jordan; he wanted to surpass him.

But could they really win seven titles?

Anyone who thought about it for a second knew that was impossible. It wasn't just a matter of skill—his statement assumed their opponents would never improve.

In reality, if they could team up, what was stopping others from doing the same?

Besides, Han Sen, as a time traveler, knew their team chemistry would be far from perfect.

LeBron also hadn't realized the ripple effect his actions were causing. This wasn't like the Celtics' Big Three, who were formed through trades that came at a high cost, depleting future assets.

Now, the Heat had pulled this off with hardly any effort, which could lead to a shift in league dynamics and concerns from ownership.

Of course, Han was all for it.

Because with LeBron making bold statements, he was now America's number one villain.

At that moment, LeBron was the most hated athlete worldwide.

Han felt it was time. He logged into his social media account, where the comments were full of people praising him while bashing LeBron. In their rage, fans had stopped thinking rationally—Han Sen was their hero because he opposed LeBron.

But Han Sen hesitated for a moment.

He knew that by making his next move, he would alienate many of his newfound fans. Still, with his Hater System, he was destined to have more haters than admirers before he became a superstar.

So he quickly typed, "I fully support LeBron. He made the smartest decision."

Within minutes, his account was flooded with insults. People couldn't believe that Han, LeBron's greatest rival, would say such a thing. The hate was overwhelming.

Han Sen laughed and closed the app. Even just sharing some of the hate aimed at LeBron was enough to make his blood pressure rise. You could never underestimate the creativity of internet trolls.

He couldn't help but poke fun at LeBron's die-hard fans, the 'Bronsexuals'. Normally, they'd tear him apart, but now they were nowhere to be found.

But maybe Han was being too harsh, as many of LeBron's former fans had already turned against him after this fiasco.

Han opened his System Space, and his eyes lit up. The system was gaining points at an insane rate, faster than ever before.

His social media post had barely reached anyone, yet his hater points were shooting up like crazy!

The points were increasing so fast it made Han a bit nervous, but he wanted even more.

He called Khalil, asking him to publish an article covering his post.

The latter thought he misheard, but after confirming, he wrote up the article and published it the next day.

After that, Han's hater points surged even more rapidly.

Just one week later, his hater points had shot up to 2 million!

And they were still climbing.

By then, Han had stopped checking the count and went straight to redeem [Iron Body].

[Iron Body]: Greatly enhances the body's resistance to fatigue, wear, and injuries.

This was the first time Han had seen such strong wording in the system. Although it was only a description, it showed how special a Tier 1 talent was.

Unlike the offensive or defensive talents he had acquired before, which required focused training, [Iron Body] would theoretically start changing his body immediately. However, Han knew he would need to train hard to maximize this talent's potential.

Then he remembered someone who once told him, "Everyone has their optimal weight; it's something each player must discover for themselves."

This time, Han didn't bother Wade, who was busy enjoying his honeymoon with LeBron. Instead, he asked Thomas to use his connections to contact Tim Grover.

A few days later, Han Sen met Grover in a private room at a Memphis café.

"I want to hire you as my personal trainer," Han said bluntly.

"I accept," Grover responded immediately, surprising him. No negotiations? No haggling over price?

"Why else would I be in Memphis?" Grover laughed.

Han Sen couldn't argue with that logic.

"Can you tell me why?" Han asked, curious. After all, he wasn't exactly seen as a healthy player with a bright future.

"Because you played for the Cavaliers, and I noticed you. I expected you to be out for the season by February, but you made it to the second round of the playoffs. Your body's resistance to injury was better than I expected."

Han Sen silently thanked the team doctors for advising him to reduce his training load around that time, which helped him push through. Grover's sharp eye impressed him—he clearly knew his stuff.

"That's the only reason?" Han Sen still found it a bit hard to believe.

"There's more. You know Mike Mancias, right?" Grover asked.

Han Sen nodded. Mancias was LeBron's personal trainer, someone he saw every day in Cleveland's gym.

"He told me that in all his years in Cleveland, you're the only player besides LeBron who trains in the gym an hour before every game."

Mancias used to be Grover's assistant, so they stayed in touch. It was funny how Han's dedication, which went unnoticed at the time, had now earned him Grover's respect.

"You know, persistence is the most valuable quality on the road to success for any athlete. Michael didn't succeed because of me—I only provided him with a small amount of help. He succeeded because he had the persistence to follow through."

Han Sen smiled, not because of what Grover said, but because of his attitude. Despite being a legendary trainer, Grover remained humble, and Han knew he had chosen the right person.

"And there's one more thing," Grover added without being prompted, "You do have injury concerns, much like Michael once did. If I can help you stay healthy, it could be the last and perhaps most significant addition to my career."
