Chapter 54: the football legend lionel messi


    Im sorry guys, I take her as my mom so the little time I spent with her was precious to me. Besides we only agreed on staying at my ce for 2 days before we go to your city so allow me to relish this opportunity. rk exined as Leosints continued unabashedly.


    Benny only smiled as Leo finally stopped hisints, he finally had the time topliment the womans food.


    rk to be sincere you would have paid dearly but the delicious free food from your mom cated me, Leo said while rubbing his fists. You have to thank her or you would probably be picking up your broken teeth by now.


    Hahaha, rkughed off his friends sarcasm as he took them to other ces.


    This time rk took them to aputer gamespany that he loved visiting to y games when he was younger. This time none of hispanionsined as they immediately fell in love with the ce, so they just rxed and yed games for the rest of the day.


    The next day was just like thest but rk ended the tour by taking his friends to apany called trailzers. Trailzers is apany that specialize in keeping recordings and highlights of legends of humanity from thest centuries.


    They engage in a business of showing these highlights to the public like a theater. Leo and Benny thought rk wanted to watch highlights of war legends. No, they were wrong he wanted to watch the highlights of the football legend Lionel Messi.


    Leo and Benny were perplexed as football was not too famous again this era, despite their doubts they still followed rk without asking. If not because rk learnt about high-grade soldiers, his original childhood dream was to be a footballer just like Messi.


    Despite being centuries ago, Lionel Messis achievements and records were still unbroken and legendary. Lionel Messi is the main reason football is still being appreciated this era despite the attention given to it being low, other sports have already be stuff of legends and history as battle tournaments are now the main stay.


    Lionel Messi is the only yer to have won the prestigious award the ballon dor which was given to exceptional yers centuries ago for a total of 8 times. He won the UEFA champions league for a record breaking 6 times and also won the golden boot award for an astonishing 10 times. He won a lot of other football awards but these were the most mind blowing of them all.


    When rk was younger, watching Messi highlights was simply his greatest source of joy, the feeling was just like floating in the heavens. Watching him dribble past yers makes him keep shaking in excitement. Containing his excitement to himself was a problem he couldnt fix so he frequently pulled his friends along to watch together when he was younger. He was clearly aiming to do the same today as he excitedly pulled his 2 friends forward.


    rk went inside quickly while pulling the both of them along after paying the gate fee. It was just like a cinema, but the projection was far clearer than normal and could be zoomed in different impossible angles to understand more clearly.


    Increase in technology is really a boon to society, rk thought excitedly as they quickly located a seat. They were lucky to be among thest batch of people to enter as the video started not long after as the hall was now full.


    The hall suddenly darkened as all light was switched off, leaving only the lighting from the huge projection. A picture of Lionel Messi was first shone as everybody on the hall erupted in cheers shouting wildly.


    A short biography of the legend was disyed before the highlight officially began. The voice of thementator felt just like spiritual music to rk as Messis magic began being disyed. Messi tackled, Messi ran with the ball, Messi dribbled and then Messi scored.


    rk felt the urge to shout but kept to myself as the sound dampeners were already activated to prevent any noise when the highlight begins. Even if he shouted on top of his lungs no sound will be heard. Despite the silence around the hall, thementary and background music made the video too legendary and epic to look away from.


    rk shook with excitement as Messi scored another goal. I respect you man, the king of football, he thought inwardly with emotion. The highlight went on for 4 hours before it ended, Leo was also a football fan but despite Benny not being one he enjoyed the video as he kept bbering about how awesome Messi was.


    rk grinned on seeing this; he always felt great when someonepliments Messi. This was one of the reasons he liked bringing his friends to watch together.


    This was the best ce rk brought them to, Leo and Bennyter confessed. rks mood improved considerably as he smiled throughout their journey back home.


    The sky was already dark as they strolled home, on the way rk and Leo told Benny about Messis other achievements and records. They ordered food which they ate after getting home, they watched a movie before theyter retired to sleep in rks bed. The day was well spent, rk prayed before they slept.


    It is finally time to visit my town man, give me the car keys rk, Leo said excitedly as they came out. rk smiled at him before throwing the keys at him. They bought a lot of clothes during thest 2 days; they wore outing clothes before keeping all their other clothes in the car booth after packaging them in a new bag.


    rk already instructed the A.I on how to take care of the house during his time of leave. So basically, he had no other meaningful business here.


    Zoom!! Leo started the car as he drove out. As his friend drove rk finally did something he had been contemting for thest few days. He hacked the old womans ount, sending her 20,000 Spartan credits. She would never have agreed if he told her probably arguing that he needed it more. He indicated his identity before smiling when he thought of the expression, shell have on her face on seeing it.


    Leos home city is Balmi city, the city next to Vatican City. He stepped harder on the elerator as the car elerated after reaching the highway. The journey took less than an hour before they saw the sign Wee to Balmi.


    Balmi is one of the most highly popted and barely developed cities in South Sparta. It was also one of the cities which is more prone to terrorist attacks and its security level is also pretty low. Leo drove into the city experiencedly as he navigated in the heavy traffic.


    20 minutester they finally reached Leos street, rk and Benny were really shocked this time as despite the rumors they didnt expect a street in Sparta to be this underdeveloped and backwards.


    Is this where well spend ourst days of vacation, rk blurted out with an Im finished expression on his face while staring at Leo.
