Dominate the Super Bowl-Chapter 726 - : 725 Peak Encounter
Chapter 726: 725 Peak Encounter
The showdown was imminent, and Watt needed some support; naturally, Li Wei came to mind.
It wasn’t that he needed Li Wei’s comfort or encouragement, nor any soul-soothing pep talks, but rather just a conversation, letting Watt know:
On this rugged and bumpy road, there were fellow travelers not far away, striving and battling. Although they each had their own distinct battles, they still watched out for each other, clearing thorns along the way, and looking forward to meeting at the summit.

That was enough.
So when Li Wei said he would watch the Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars game, Watt was a bit touched.
Unfortunately, the feeling didn’t last a second before Li Wei’s voice came through the phone again.
...
“By the poolside, lying on a beach chair, sipping a cocktail, sunbathing, listening to jazz, really enjoying the game.”
That contented statement made Watt lose control and burst into roaring laughter—
Indeed, as always, Li Wei was just Li Wei.
“Hey, buddy, save a spot for me.” Watt teased with a smile.
Li Wei, “A beach chair, or a recliner?”
Watt, “Hahaha, I’m not a beast, okay? I know how to enjoy life too.”
Li Wei, “I’m serious, brother. What you should be looking forward to now is not the off-season, but the upcoming games. Hey, I’ve been looking forward to meeting you again since this off-season; so, are you ready to face me in the divisional game or the conference championship?”
In a light tone, one could feel the steadfast courage and determination.
Suddenly, Watt also got carried away, “Buddy, are you so confident? Is this still the Li Wei I know? The Li Wei who said, ‘I’m not confident, but we will win’?”
Li Wei, “Of course.” Crisp and to the point, “Confidence, still none, but victory, just as firmly believed in. You should be more confident than me, Mr. League’s Best Defensive Player.”
“We strive, we strive, we fight to the end, and then calmly face all outcomes. That’s life.”
Bit by bit, Watt’s blood began to boil, “We strive, we strive, we fight to the end. Ha, I think I’m ready.”
Taking a deep breath, Watt said again, “See you at the summit?”
Li Wei’s smile fully unfolded on his face, “See you at the summit, don’t miss it.”
Hanging up the phone, Watt took a long deep breath—
He craved victory, he craved the championship; it had always been so, but never had he yearned this much like he did this year, every fiber of his being aflame.
After being sidelined due to injuries for two consecutive seasons, Watt had many doubts and confusions about himself, and the relentless cycle of injuries was torturous; having finally completed a season healthy, he longed to keep going.
Especially seeing Li Wei’s performance, his spirited morale, passionate confrontations, and tenacious willpower, all igniting Watt’s fighting spirit.
He longed to battle, to battle with Li Wei, to battle with top teams for victory and the championship.
He was ready.
…
The 2018 NFL season, Week 17 of the regular season, was gradually unfolding.
Unlike before, there were no night games this week. To ensure fairness and justice of the games, all matches were scheduled during daylight on Sunday, half in the morning and half in the afternoon, bringing a perfect end to the regular season.
Groggily, Jenna was still in her dreams when she noticed an itch on her nose, thinking it was her bedmate’s mischief she was about to scold.
However, upon opening her eyes, Jenna saw her daughter’s big beautiful eyes innocently looking at her as if unaware of what was happening, though a feather duster hidden behind couldn’t hide her trick.
“Mommy, you’re awake! Great, then let’s get ready to go to Arrowhead Stadium!”
Jenna watched the duster behind her wagging like a dog’s tail and couldn’t help but burst into laughter, rubbing her temples.
“Annie, the game isn’t until the afternoon; we didn’t need to get up so early,” she said.
Annie shook her head vigorously like a rattle drum, “No, no, no, Mom, who waits until the afternoon to go to the stadium? We need to get there in the morning, well-prepared for the game.”
Jenna: ???
Clearly, Jenna didn’t believe it.
Jenna turned to look at her husband, Jeff Galas, lying next to her, and cast him an inquiring glance.
Jeff was equally clueless about football, “Since our expert says so, it must be true.”
Then.
When Mr. and Mrs. Galas arrived at Arrowhead Stadium with Annie, they realized their mistake upon seeing the bustling crowd—
Seriously misplaced.
They had thought they were early, but the sight of the teeming, crowded venue truly highlighted their insignificance, a mere drop in the ocean of humanity.
As the final regular season game of the year, since the Kansas City Chiefs had already secured their playoff spot and were facing off against their division rivals, for Kansas City, this was a festival, perfectly compensating for the inability to properly party during Christmas and New Year.
Arrowhead Stadium, filled early, even those without tickets could still come and revel, enjoying the beautiful afternoon with other fans.
People, people, everywhere you looked.
The Galas family felt a bit lost, momentarily losing their bearings.
Fortunately, they didn’t lose their cool.
The Gallas family, led by Annie, went to the ticket booth and tentatively reported their names as “Annie Galas”, and the ticket seller immediately understood.
The family of three simply waited on the spot for a moment before staff from inside Arrowhead Stadium came out to escort them to the VIP suite above the field.
Later, Felix and Karen also appeared in the VIP suite, but they were just stopping by to greet because they planned to watch the game from the stands—
“It’s a different feel. Really. Especially seeing Li Wei sprint up close, you can feel the speed and power, watching live is truly different.”
Felix’s words made Annie restless, giving her mother a pleading look.
But this time, it didn’t work.
Annie was still too frail, and Jenna was worried that too much excitement might be too much for her to handle. Being in the crowd, if anything were to happen, medical staff wouldn’t be able to assist promptly. The VIP suite was Jenna’s last resort.
Although Annie wasn’t able to go to the stands to experience the fans’ point of view, before the game began, Li Wei, Mahomes, and a host of other players still came to visit Annie in the VIP suite.
“You’re a celebrity in the locker room now; if we weren’t worried that the VIP suite couldn’t fit everyone, the whole team would have come,” Li Wei teased, causing Annie to show a rare bit of shyness and restraint.
Still, Annie mustered the courage, “Go, fight! We’re with the team.” Her little fist clenched tightly, waving vigorously.
Finally, the little girl leaned close to Li Wei’s ear and whispered, “Li Wei, I’m looking forward to you scoring several touchdowns!”
Kelsey shook his head repeatedly next to them, “Annie, we all heard that. Rookie gets special treatment, and we don’t; we are going to be jealous.”
Annie held her chin high, looking earnestly at Kelsey, “If we keep scoring touchdowns, it would be too cruel to the Oakland Raiders, wouldn’t it? Mom said we need to be a bit merciful.”
Ha ha, hahaha.
