Chapter 581: Overlord’s Dilemma, the Debt Collector Arrives
Deep down in Byodoin Phoenix's heart, she had an extremely pure desire for this showdown with Kitagawa.
In his tennis world, Beichuan is like a towering mountain that stands in the way of his progress. Only by successfully climbing over it can he reach a higher level of tennis.
He knew very well that defeating an opponent as powerful as Beichuan would not only bring the glory of a victory, but also provide an excellent opportunity to improve his own strength and mentality in all aspects.
Every collision with a top master is like sharpening a sword, making it sharper.
In Byodoin Phoenix's plan, this victory will become an important cornerstone for him to reach higher heights in professional tennis.
however.
Byodoin Phoenix knew in her heart that if she really defeated Beichuan completely without reservation, it would definitely cause a stir on Adam's side.
The relationship between Adam and the Nibelungen Tennis Club, and the relationship between the Nibelungen Tennis Club and the Neon U-17 Training Camp, are all giving him headaches.
Byodoin Phoenix does not want to disrupt the existing delicate balance.
Therefore, at this moment, standing on the court, although he was burning with fighting spirit, he had to hold back. On the surface, he pretended to be doing his best to win, but in fact, he was constantly weighing and calculating in his heart, and pretending to be in harmony with the current situation.
But all these calculations and assumptions are based on a crucial premise - he must be strong enough to defeat Beichuan.
And the Beichuan in front of him was like a mysterious and powerful man from the dark abyss, exuding a chilling aura.
Beichuan has a slender figure and wears a light sportswear. His seemingly casual posture hides a terrifying power that can erupt at any time.
His eyes were deep and distant, like an unfathomable pool, making it difficult to fathom his thoughts.
Although Byodoin Phoenix felt from previous interactions that Kitagawa was a man who valued his promises, he would most likely not resort to any means to put himself into a state of suspended animation before the agreed time.
But the situation on the tennis court changes rapidly, and human nature is full of unknowns. Who can pat his chest and guarantee 100% that the other party will not change his mind at a certain moment and do something beyond imagination?
This deep uncertainty, like a thick dark cloud, weighed heavily on Byodoin Phoenix's heart, causing his originally firm steps to hesitate slightly.
For a moment, the atmosphere on the court seemed to freeze.
The Phoenix of Byodoin Temple, who was originally as high-spirited as a volcano about to erupt, seemed to have been cast under a spell of immobilization, and the whole person was frozen on the spot.
He maintained a slightly squatting posture, ready to serve, but his body was stiff there. The expression on his face gradually changed from the initial determination to a hint of hesitation and confusion. The light in his eyes flickered, as if he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.
"Senior from Equaloin."
At this moment, Kitagawa's gentle voice with a hint of smile, like a breeze, broke the suffocating silence on the court.
Beichuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a row of white and neat teeth. He had a seemingly friendly smile on his face, but behind that smile, there seemed to be some unspeakable deep meaning hidden.
"Are you still going to fight? Actually, Senior, you've caused a lot of trouble and annoyance to everyone by staying here at the Swiss U-17 training camp."
As Beichuan spoke, he gently shook the tennis racket in his hand, and the racket rubbed against the air, making a slight whirring sound.
"Look, you're not officially a registered player at the training camp, and I haven't seen you spend a penny on the various expenses here, yet you feel comfortable eating, drinking, living, and using the training camp's resources for free every day."
"The staff and coaches at the training camp have turned a blind eye and not caused you any trouble, all because of our relationship."
Beichuan paused and glanced around. People were coming and going in the training camp. Some players were training hard on the court in the distance, and some staff members were hurriedly walking by with folders in their arms.
"But the money you've spent in the training camp has accumulated to an outrageous level."
"I can't help but wonder, after this competition, will you have to sell yourself to repay this huge debt?"
After saying this, Kitagawa shrugged lightly, with a half-smile still on his face, but these words were like a sharp dagger, piercing straight into the heart of Byodoin Phoenix.
In fact, Kitagawa didn't really want to fight with Byodoin Phoenix again.
He looked quietly at the Byodoin Phoenix in front of him, a complicated look flashing in his eyes.
In Kitagawa's eyes, Byodoin Phoenix had gone through countless hardships and obstacles and had finally reached the top professional level with great difficulty.
But at this stage, he is like a high-rise building whose framework has just been built and its foundation has not yet been firmly established.
If he were to engage in a fierce battle with me again at this moment, with my strength far exceeding that of ordinary people, it is very likely that I would be like a violent storm, completely destroying the building of faith that Byodoin Phoenix had worked so hard to build.
By then, Byodoin Phoenix will not be able to continue to ride the wind and waves and forge ahead in the fiercely competitive tennis road. I am afraid that even maintaining the current state and barely holding on will become an unattainable luxury.
Beichuan knew very well that the so-called Ashura Shinto meant struggling to break free from a hellish predicament.
Generally speaking, for those with strong will and perseverance, this kind of predicament, although challenging, is not insurmountable.
However, a terrifying existence like Kitagawa, who could reach the master level at any time, was an existence several times more terrifying than the real hell for the Phoenix of Byodoin.
The pressure and challenges faced in fighting against Beichuan are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. It is as if one is facing insurmountable fear alone in an endless dark abyss.
"Oh! I was just looking for you. So everyone is here. Byodoin boy, here are your recent expense reports."
Just then, Brand's unique voice came from the side of the court.
Brand was a little overweight and wore a well-tailored suit. His leather shoes were polished to a shine, reflecting a dazzling light in the sunlight.
He walked slowly towards the center of the court, each step was steady and rhythmic, with an expression on his face that seemed surprised but actually contained a mystery.
As he walked, he took out a white folder from the exquisite briefcase in his hand, opened it elegantly, and pulled out a piece of paper, which was the so-called expense bill.
"If you can't pay this amount, I'm afraid we won't be able to return your passport and other documents to you."
Brand spoke slowly, with an unquestionable firmness in his tone.
"Also, we've notified the embassy here, so even if you want to apply for a new passport, I'm afraid it won't be possible."
