Chapter 507: Diamond in the rough
As he walked inside the pitch, many took notice of him. Then he walked to some people and began to converse. It seemed as if he was making some sort of arrangements.
The people whom he was talking to showed a greedy smile on their faces as they talked with him. Then he returned after conversing for a moment.
Smiling, he returned as he said with a glee on his face, "It's done. You're up"
What do you mean it's done?
Weren't they supposed to wait for their turn?
Just how did he convince those people to let them skip the queue?
They were puzzled to hear. After all, just a moment ago, Carlos had said that all those people
on the sidelines were waiting for their turn. So, how did he manage to convince them to let them jump the queue?
Seems like he had struck a deal with those bunches. Otherwise, how could they allow such special privileges to them?
Even so, why does it matter what deal he had struck with those people?
Excitedly, his friends entered the pitch. But, Hiro couldn't help but ask, "Carlos, what kind of deal did you strike with them?"
He let out a mischievous chuckle before responding, "I said that they could earn a thousand dollars if they beat you. To top it all, I also said that they could assemble the very best players here. So they readily agreed to let you play."
Hiro had only bribed him with five hundred dollars to guide them to this place. But he was betting twice the amount. Did he have such faith in them to bet the money out of his pocket?
Hiro couldn't help but wonder.
But before he could have some other thoughts, Carlos added, "Obviously, if they lose they'll have to pay me two hundred dollars but if you lose then you'll have to pay them a thousand dollars. I've got nothing to lose, hahaha...."
Hiro wasn't surprised by his words.
Rather it was expected. After all, knowing him, if he could go against the words of his senior for money then how could he be expected to pay money out of his pocket?
It seemed that Hiro was getting his hopes high for nothing.
So, upon hearing him, he revealed an awkward smile on his face.
But since a thousand dollars wasn't a large sum to him, he didn't mind his actions. Also, if they wanted to take his money then they'd have to defeat him first.
"Ah right, be aware of that kid in Barcelona Jersey"
Before sending them off, Carlos warned Hiro about a kid dressed in Barcelona Jersey. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
As he heard him, Hiro swept his gaze to the kid dressed in Barcelona Jersey. He appeared rather emaciated almost as if he hadn't had anything to proper to eat for months. Even the Jersey he wore was smeared with countless stains.
If one looked closely behind his back one could see something written on it. The letters had already faded but upon closer inspection, one could see Neymar written on it.
He had a curly black hair. As for his dark eyes, it was full of determination and confidence. The sun-kissed skin of his which was a testament to the countless hours he had spent under the scorching sun completed his looks.
As for his pair of old, beat-up sneakers, it could be displayed in some antique museum.
'Shall we check his stats briefly before starting the match?'
Hiro thought as he decided to run a quick scan before proceeding with the match. Name: Jo?o Silva

As Hiro analyzed him, he couldn't help but stare at him with a look of disbelief in his eyes. The person in front of him could already play on the professional stage. Yet, he appeared so miserable at the moment.
Isn't Brazil famous for producing megastars?
So, how come he wasn't scouted yet?
Those numbers could easily rival his. Hiro could tell for certainty that he was a diamond in the rough. But he couldn't tell why he wasn't noticed yet by anyone.
What's a player of such caliber doing here, fighting for spare change?
It's just that he couldn't get to look at his talents. Otherwise, he'd have known more about him. Yet still, after going through his stats, Hiro couldn't help but feel curious about the talent he possessed.
Nonetheless, it was clear that Jo?o was greatly emaciated.
"I can already tell that he's a formidable player," Hiro said after going through his stats.
Hearing him, Carlos broke into laughter before responding, "Hahaha..., You've got quite the intuition. Indeed, he's quite tricky. So, be careful while approaching him. After all, you need to earn me some more bucks."
Though Hiro had discovered a diamond in the rough, he wasn't worried about it. Rather he was excited to class against this raw talent.
'Let's see who comes out on top'
Hiro thought as his eyes glistened with excitement and determination.
Then he proceeded to tell his teammates about his findings. Based on the stats, Hiro could somewhat guess his style of play. So, he instructed his teammates accordingly to prevent any unwanted disasters from taking place.
As they stepped onto the field the crowd roared.
"Show these foreigners that it isn't easy to play against the mighty Brazil"
"Who wants to place a wager?"
"I bet fifty real on the home side"
"I bet ten real on the foreigners"
"What? Why are you betting on the foreigners?"
"Hahaha..., because the stakes are much higher"
All of a sudden the venue got extremely lively. At the same time, the already electrifying atmosphere of the pitch got even more electrifying. Many people also began to bet.
"Woah..., look at all those people shouting. It somehow feels like even if we win the game, we'll experience the wrath of these people," Tatsuki said timidly.
As they prepared to start the match, Carlos announced, "The first team to score three wins the
match"
