My Goalkeeping System

Chapter 530: Unfair Advantage

'What do you mean you're surprised?'

'I guess I can see why you would look at things that way, and I'm sure you're not the only one who thought we wouldn't amount to much this season.'

'Mhm, we play more like a team now.'

'Huh?'

[ Goals: 10 ]

[ Assists: 11 ]

'Oh, so I'm the unfair advantage.'

'Well, I don't think there's anything wrong with that, teams aren't supposed to be equal after all, if they were then upsets when super squads get beaten by nobody teams wouldn't be a thing.'

'Huh?'

'Oh.'

'Hmm, Grandpa's stats do say he was only able to manage seven goals and two assists in his career.'

'What?'

The door was pushed open at that moment, causing Dave to quickly turn around to find Jonas standing there.

The two made eye contact for a brief moment before the fullback turned away with a subtle huff.

"Oh, hey, Jonas."

Dave made an attempt to converse with him but Jonas didn't seem to be interested as he slowly walked past him without responding to him.

"I guess he still doesn't want to talk to me."

"Correct, but you'll have to go get changed if you want it."

"I...."

He suddenly stopped mid-sentence as he felt his phone begin to vibrate in his pocket.

"Give me a moment." He said before pulling his phone out of his pocket to find out that Clark was the one calling him. "Oh, it's Clark."

He proceeded to answer the call afterward before pressing the phone against his ear.

"Hello."

"Hey, dude, you guys really showed Dynamo FC who's the boss today, huh," Clark remarked enthusiastically from the other end.

"I guess we did," Dave responded with a little chuckle as he turned towards the staircase.

"My dear Unique FC is finally beginning to show those top teams that we're great too, I never thought I would live long enough to see it."

"Well, it looks like we all lived long enough to see it, and there's still more to come."

"True."

"So, what's up? I know you didn't call me just to talk about the match." Dave inquired.

"What? Are you saying I can't call you for that reason alone?" He retorted.

"No, I didn't..."

"Calm down, I'm just messing with you, and besides, you're correct."

"Okay, so what's it about this time?"

"Remember the furniture company you signed a deal with last month?" Clark inquired.

"Yeah, the one that has one of their main branches here in Bilbeth."

"Well, they're starting a promo with the theme being family comfort and they want you to be in the promo video for it." He disclosed.

"Okay, and when are we shooting the video?"

"Two days from now."

"Oh, I see."

"Yeah, that's why I contacted you immediately."

There was a few seconds of silence between the two, and during that moment, something clicked in Dave's mind.

"Hey, you said the theme was family comfort, right?"

"Well, that was what they told me."

Getting that response, the goalkeeper slowly turned to his wife who was just sitting on the couch staring at him.

"Is it possible for me to ask to include something in the video?"

"Uhhh, why are you looking at me like that?" Emma asked with a confused expression on her face.

Dave didn't realize it, but he seemed to have a somewhat creepy smile on his face at that moment.
