Chapter 026

Suspense filled the air as Oscar and Silas stared intently at each other.

 "You wouldn't have become my enemy, but you just had to mess with Layla!" Silas waved his fist with reddened eyes.

 Oscar didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

 Bro, seriously?

 However, he didn't bother explaining himself since it would be futile. Also, he was curious at how much strength he possesed.

 "Eat my kick" Silas sent a roundhouse kick, aiming for Oscar's waist.

 "Too slow" Oscar's head was extremely clear, capturing the every movement of the kick.

 Pa!

 He grabbed Silas leg, flipping him over.

 "You lose"

 "Shut up!" Silas got up, lunging towards Oscar who side stepped.

 Pa!

 A hot slap struck Silas on the cheeks, causing him to collapse on the floor.

 Everybody who was watched gawked in shock. Oscar won?

 But how?'

 Normally, all the odds were on Silas side. The result stunned everybody present, well except one person.

 "Tsk. He had it coming" Goldie snickered contemptuously.

She was the only one who knew Oscar was a Deviant, so the result didn't surprise her.

 "L-Laura, you didn't tell us Oscar knew how to fight!" Laura who was among the crowd, heard one of her friends whisper with trepidation.

 "I.. I don't know" Laura couldn't wrap her head around all this.

 First he beat Jonas in basketball, now he defeated Silas in hand-to-hand combat.

 Wasn't Oscar supposed to be trash?

 "Something looks fishy" Cargo stared suspiciously at Oscar from the midst of the audiences.

 He knew Oscar knew only how to run his mouth. He couldn't even tackle Billy's bullying in the past, talkler of going against Silas, who had an ex Covert Ops agent as an Uncle.

 The more Cargo thought about this, the more confused he became.

 As for Billy, he was shaking with fright, at the verge of pissing his pants. Just as he wanted to sneak away, he noticed Oscar's eyes roaming through the crowd present, before landing on him.

 "Yikes!" Bill jumped in fright, almost shitting his pants.

At that moment, he began regreting why he ever offended Oscar.

 Giving Silas one last look, Oscar left the spotlight. Wherever he passed, the crowd would part open a path for him.

 At that moment, it was clear as day that nobody would dare have thoughts of physically bullying Oscar. Well, except they were just asking for a free beating.

 Since the show was over, the crowd gradually began retreating.

.

 "You were so friggin' awesome back there. Silas always boasts about his strength, just because he had a formidable uncle. But didn't it take you just a slap to bring him down? hahaha" Jonas had his arms wrapped around Oscar's shoulder as they made their way towards the basketball court.

 "But you really hid yourself quite well, fooling all of us" Jonas thought Oscar was strong right from the beginner, pretending to be weak.

 Oscar could only shake his head at the accusations. Only he knew all this was made possible thanks to the Super Centillion System.

When the duo arrived at the basketball court, all the team players who were conversing amongst themselves zipped their mouth shut.

 Oscar laughed inwardly at their comical display. Having power sure comes with a lot of buffs.

 "With you both here, that makes us complete" Lio smiled, boucing a basketball lieusurely.

 "So, what were your decisions Coach?" Russ asked.

 He felt like as the Captain of KYC basketball club, he had to be a setting example.

 "My opinion.. hmm? what do you think you would do if you were in my shoes?"

 "I will accept of course. Even if we go down, we won't do so without putting up a fight. Only cowards shy away, real men face things head on"

 Riled up by Russ righteous remarks, the remaining members on the team began voicing out their agreement.

 Oscar had to agree that Russ wasn't a total loser. At Least, his charisma was barely passable..

 "That's the spirit I want to see. Looks like I didn't choose you as Captain for nothing. Though.. there would be some adjustments"

"Adjustment?"

 "Hm. I was thinking of electing Oscar as the core Shooting Guard, while you take Jonas position as Point Guard" Lio explained with a faint smile.

 Russ angrily stood up.

 "You can't do that! everybody here knows that I am an excellent shooter. I should be the one taking the Shooting Guard position!"

 There was no way Russ would easily agree to such an arrangement.

 Basketball was a court game that had two teams compete against each other. Each team had a maximum number of five.

 Unlike other games, each of the five players had specific roles to play.

 Take the Point Guard for example. It was the player responsible for taking the ball and finding opportunities for the team mates.

 In simple teams, they were the ones calling the shots in the team.

 However, nothing felt more thrilling than being the one to strike the hoop.

 That was where the Shooting Guard came into play. They were the sharpest, fastest and strongest players on the team. Their gol was to get the ball and strike a shot!

For a long time, Russ had been the Shooting Guard for the team. He couldn't accept the fact that Oscar, the one who he regarded as trash previously, would snatch away his position.

 "Russ, I know it sounds unfair but that's our only shot. With Oscar as Shooting Guard and with your charisma as Point Guard, our team won't lose so miserably"

 Russ gnashed his teeth with resentment.

 "Then why can't Oscar be the Point Guard?!"

 "Are you an idiot? I am just a newcomer and I'm not familiar with the team members. You have been playing in the team far longer than me. So the Point Guard position is more suitable for you"

 "You.." Russ hates to admit that he couldn't refute Oscar's words.

 "Since we have come to an agreement, training starts next week monday"

.

.

 "Geez. You just joined the team and yet you are the core shooting guard already?!" Jonas piped with excitement as he and Oscar made their way towards the parking lot.

 "Is Shooting Guard position that amazing?"

"You have no idea. They are like the coolest players on the team"

 At that moment, a black limo pulled over in front of the duo.

 "Get in" Goldie beckoned.

 "About that.. Jonas cousin is hosting a party tonight so I will be helping out with the party arrangement"

 "Hmph. Just don't go too far okay?" Goldie sneered.

 "Go to far? what do you mea.."

 However, the black limo was already out of sight.

 "Bro, why do I have a feeling that you nd Goldie are a thing?" Jonas gave Oscar a curious look.

 "Did you just notice. My manly charms are just too good that girls just can't help falling for me.. ah, I'm completely helpless over that"

 "You wish. Then why did Laura break up with you?" Jonas huffed.

 "What do you know. Maybe she felt that I was just too good for her and had to break up with me. It's called inferiority complex" Oscar refuted, leaving Jonas speechless for words.

 Wasn't this guy's shameless boastings a little bit too much?
