Now that he had his phone confiscated, he didn't have any option but to pay. So, he couldn't help but glare at him.

The phone itself wasn't expensive.

But the contacts he had, he couldn't ignore it. So, even if it was for the sake of the contacts he had in his phone, he couldn't discard his phone.

With that said, Carlos turned to leave.

Since he wasn't going to pay immediately, why must he bother with him right now?

By now, Romero had recovered somewhat. Until a moment ago, he could barely bring himself to speak. However, right now, with the support of a few people, he could bring himself to talk. Even his complexion had recovered somewhat.

Confirming his well-being, Carlos heaved a sigh of relief, "It seems that everything is fine" Then he whimsically raised his head to look at the sky.

The sky stretched wide, an endless expanse of calm, painted with soft hues that blended seamlessly into one another. The moon surrounded by countless shimmering stars hung like a pearl, its silvery light casting a gentle glow that bathed the world in a serene, otherworldly beauty.

Carlos felt an unusual calm while looking at the sky above him, "Why does the sky appear so serene today?" looking at the sky, he couldn't help but mutter.

It might be because he had earned himself quite a hefty sum today.

"But..., why do I feel like I'm forgetting something?"

For some inexplicable reason, he couldn't help but feel uneasy at the same time. It was as if he was forgetting something important but wasn't sure what exactly it was.

At once, his eyes widened in alarm as he realized, "Time..., What time is it now?"

Immediately, he raised his arm to check the time on the watch on his wrist. As he checked his watch, panic began to set in.

He was supposed to bring them back to the hotel by eight but he had already exceeded the time he had been given.

As he realized his predicament, he hurried his way to Hiro.

At this moment, João was trying to convey something to him. However, since Hiro didn't understand him, he could only watch him in confusion.

João's eyes lit up as he saw Carlos.

Now, he could have him translate his words. So, he rejoiced upon seeing him.

"Great..., Carlos, can you help..."

But before he could ask him for a favor, Carlos said something to Hiro in a rush and pulled him away. He didn't even spare a glance at him. He ignored him as if he were invisible.

Yet still, he didn't feel disappointed by such silent treatment.

Rather, he could feel the urgency in his voice.

"Sorry, we need to leave right now," Hiro said as he bid his farewell to João who had been attempting to tell him something for a while by now.

João could only nod his head and wave him goodbye.

As he watched Hiro and others leave the pitch in a hurry, he whispered under his breath, "Maybe next time if we meet, I'll be able to tell that you were truly amazing to watch"

Young João was greatly impacted by this encounter.

The reverence he held for Hiro could be seen in his eyes which were fixedly following Hiro. Soon, as they hurried their way out of the venue, their figure vanished in the distant dark alley. After hitting the road, Hiro and the company took a cab to get to the hotel.

Having stayed over the time limit, if they walked to the hotel, who knows how long it'll take? Although others could be seen panicking, Hiro for some reason appeared more tranquil than anyone in the cab. It was as if he wasn't worried about what was to come.

Though he appeared to be looking outside the window, he appeared lost.

His eyes, a deep, enigmatic hazel, seemed as if it was looking past the blinding lights outside that they passed along their way to their destination.

"Just what is he looking at so amusingly?"

Upon catching a glimpse of him looking outside wearing an amusing smile on his face, Tatsuki couldn't help but wonder.

After all, how could he remain so calm when they were clearly in trouble?

Curious, he turned to look outside.

As he looked outside the window, he noticed the street filled with people.

People dressed elegantly flocked the streets while at the same time bars and restaurants lit in vibrant colors had come to life. They had bright smiles on their faces. Also, it appeared as if they were glowing.

It wasn't as crowded when they had stepped outside of their hotel.

But right now the world outside was oozing life.

For a moment, even he couldn't help but feel captivated by the ambiance outside the window.

He felt as if the street outside was inviting him to be part of it.

Sadly, however, he was shackled by the responsibility of a player.

If only, he didn't have any limit, he might actually step out of the cab to experience the wonders of the place before him.

As such desires welled up inside his heart, he shook his head to bring him back to reality.

'Temptation, it's only a temptation'

He reminded himself as he tried to resist the urge to party.

'Those happy faces are nothing but facade'

He kept reminding himself.

After all, it wasn't his only encounter with the nightlife of a city. Though compared to what he was used to seeing, it was on a slightly different level.

Nonetheless, it was the same.

Then as he snapped back to his senses, he rolled his eyes to look at Hiro. Staring at him, he couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed upon noticing him looking outside so eagerly, 'Don't tell me he's already sinking in this shithole'

Having played professional football for quite a while by now, he was well-versed with the

dark side of some footballers.

Many players although appeared humble on the outside had a pretty nasty side where they let themselves wild partying.
