Ultimate Cash System-Chapter 98: Mortal No More! (1/2)

A/N: [For the baseball fans: I am really sorry I made a little blunder. Lukas should have gone back to the dugout after hitting a home run. I will do better next time explaining things. Sorry about that, but I hope you find the reading experience fun.]

"Strike and Out"

Lukas finished off the whole three batters with his nine pitches, and Samwell, who was the catcher, looked at his hand after taking those nine pitches, his catcher’s gloves were end of their lifespan, and they were new.

As Lukas was returning back to the dugout with the team, Samwell came running and walked with him, he even showed Lukas his gloves.

" After the match, meet me," Lukas said with a wink, then returned to the dugout, then he was immediately pulled away from the dugout by the marketing team.

" What happened?" Lukas asked, he was not sure why he was pulled away from his team like that.

" You now have to wait in the dugout, so don’t be in the spotlight," Mila said while smiling. She then called Lukas’s personal makeup artist and made some adjustments to Lukas’s look.

" Why?" Lukas asked why he gets confused because the marketing team behaves with him out of the norm.

" Because you are earning shit tons of money for the TV people and they didn’t pay us that much, you know you’re a walking Super Bowl match currently," Mila said. She was very happy to see a giant star rising under her guidance, this pushed her career into the sky.

Lukas just smiled and sat inside the stadium. People were feeling panicked when he sat in the middle of everyone. He sat in the chair and waited for his pitching turn to start again.

Emma came running and did all the makeup necessary on Lukas. Lukas didn’t mind, his thinking was a bit different. He would get out and see if he really was that famous. IF he really was, he needed to do something, otherwise, this hundred million dollars would become a chokehold for him.

The match ended with an impressive score of Phillies 7, Cubs 0. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

@He faced 27 batters, struck out each one, never let a runner reach base, and completed all nine innings without giving up a run. @ - Stadium Commentator 1.

@As the Japanese say, Bakemono (monster)@ Stadium Commentator 2.

*YeahhhhHhHHHH*

*Serious crowd noise *

Lukas also made TV history by making 90 million TVs tune in for him. The records were broken, and the stage was set that can only be toppled by him.

Lukas, after returning to the locker room, felt the silence once again. The players were as quiet as they could be, but this time around, Lukas could feel the air was different.

Yankees Managerial Department.

" You fucker!!! You missed that boy for this good batter? See that boy on the TV? Can you move your eyes away from him? He’s a fucking showman, he’s going to make billions for the Phillies." The chairman of the Yankees was scolding the Yankees recruiters who recruited Joe instead of Lukas.

" S...Sir, we didn’t know," Brian said meekly. He still regretted not acquiring Lukas that day and even informing his upper management that he had the chance to acquire Lukas.

Joe, who was just outside hearing their conversation, gritted his teeth in anger. He was so angry that he could punch a hole in a person right now.

" And also that boy is going to get bald, that Joe boy. What are you going to do about it?" The chairman asked Brain, the general manager of the Yankees.

Hearing he is going to be bald, Joe almost vomited blood with anger, but he ran out and started to work on himself. He was preparing for the day he met Lukas again to defeat him once again.

Back to the stadium.

Keem, who was almost dancing with joy with her mother, was so happy for some reason that she can’t explain, it was as if she won the match herself. She was feeling proud but couldn’t tell anyone and blushed hard.

Lukas, on the other hand, was not in the mood for any interview, but Phillies had a contract with the three TV stations, and he had to go.

The stage was set for him, but before he could go, Mila gave him another chair to sit on and also gave him a jacket to wear.

" Listen up, you don’t have to do anything, just pass by the interview room. It’s to hype you up more, and also your demands will go up. The team manager will talk more about it later, but just walk by and pretend you are there by mistake," Mila said, and Lukas agreed, because he didn’t need to face hassle, only some acting would save him the day.

"Alright," Lukasd, and then he went to the catering place for the away team and ate his fill. After eating, he felt kind of relaxed because the crowd noise was gone and the whole stadium was quiet.

Mila came running and held his hand and took him to the press conference. He just had to act a little, that’s all, but Jay and Roy saw what happened after his first home run, they also stood guard just behind the curtains.

Lukas saw the reporter questioning Mike, who was answering the questions, and he even saw the bottle he had to pick. Everything was a setup, the atmosphere was very calm and chill.

Lukas entered the room with a puzzled face and slowly walked toward the water bottle he was supposed to pick up.

*Click*

*Click*

*Click*

All the activity in the room stopped, every camera was clicking photos of Lukas and his every movement with blinding flashes. Then Lukas picked up the Aquafina bottle and tasted it, then nodded his head with approval and left the room.

Terry came running with a big smile on his face, he was very satisfied with Lukas today.

"Hey, I need a check for this advertisement," Lukas said while showing the Aquafina bottle to Terry.
