?Chapter 672:


    Elena was visiting his club for the first time, adding an extra spark of excitement for Javier. Graciously, he offered Elena his seat, then turned around to embrace a close teammate, his smile wide and weing. “Did everyone hear that Elena ising today? Let’s make sure to show our skills on the field and avoid any embarrassing moments, okay?”


    Javier’s teammates were usually lively, constantly buzzing with conversation, but today they were unusually quiet, as if their energy had been drained.


    Breaking the silence, a teammate tried to lift spirits by saying, “Javier, training is canceled.”


    Javier frowned in confusion. They had just won a match and seemed to have be toofortable too quickly. “Who called off today’s training? We’ve secured only one victory, and with the autumn tournament approaching, easing up now will only set us up for defeat.”


    This statement seemed to deepen the team’s gloom.


    Realizing the gravity of the situation, Javier’s demeanor shifted to one of concern. “What’s happening here? Why the silence?” A heavy air hung over the club.


    After what felt like an eternity of silence, a voice finally broke through. “Javier… The club is disbanding.”


    The moment the grim news was delivered, tears welled up in the eyes of the young teammates.


    Javier frowned in disbelief. “How could that be? Everything seemed perfect just yesterday. Who decided to disband our club?”


    Soft sniffles broke the silence.


    Javier looked around and saw some teammates quietly wiping their eyes, while others stared at the floor, lost in deep thought. “Come on, someone tell me what’s going on!” His heart dropped as his voice echoed anxiously. How was it possible their club was being disbanded out of the blue? Just yesterday, they had been immersed in tactical discussions, fully prepared for the autumn tournament. How could everything fall apart overnight?


    With restless energy, Javier jumped up. “I need to talk to the boss right now!”


    He was desperate for answers. Why consider disbanding at such a crucial moment? They had just imed their first win, emerging as the dark horse of thepetition. Reaching the top three in the autumn tournament would validate their efforts and justify the investments made in the club. To disband now seemed utterly illogical.


    “Just drop it, Javier. The boss already left.” The look on the teammate’s face was more heartbreaking than any words could express. “He came in this morning, announced we were disbanding, and told us all to pack up. Talking to him now would be pointless.”


    The entire team shared the same feeling of disbelief. They had dedicated themselves to training every day, strategizing, and improving. Just as they were on the verge of a breakthrough, the sudden closure of the club shattered their dreams. Who could ept that? However, the decision from higher-ups was final, and there was no point in resisting.


    A surge of fury filled Javier as he spoke, his voice thick with anger. “All our hard work—does it just vanish into thin air? We’ve already secured our ce in the autumn tournament, so why decide to disband now? I just can’t ept this!”


    A crushing sensation weighed on Javier’s heart, as if burdened by unseen forces.


    With hesitation, one teammate shared their despair. “None of us wants this, but in the end, it’s the boss’s decision. Since he chose to shut things down, what can we do?”


    The team was young—the youngest only eighteen, and Javier barely past twenty. This was unfamiliar territory for them, leaving them feeling lost and uncertain about what to do next. Javier’s expression darkened as he ran a hand through his hair, clearly frustrated.
