Chapter 401: Evil grows by a foot when the road grows by an ell

A riveting drama, truly a riveting drama.

One moment, the reporters were curious about Caldwell’s presence here; the next, Li Wei’s smiling humiliation had sent the story spiraling ——

Comparable to a melodramatic soap opera.

Even though it was completely different from what was expected, the spectators still found it tantalizing.

Caldwell too became conscious of the surrounding gazes, holding his breath for a short second to compose himself before his expression returned to normal.

After all, it wasn’t Caldwell’s first day being acquainted with Li Wei’s edge; besides, with a Ramsey already on the Jacksonville Jaguars’ team, having another Li Wei wouldn’t be an issue —— he could control the situation ——

Young people, they liked them just like this.

However, this didn’t mean Caldwell wouldn’t counterattack.

"So, curious? If you’re willing, you can also come over and give it a try," Caldwell said, without changing his expression, throwing out a lure and putting Li Wei on the grill. If the Kansas City Chiefs’ fans knew Li Wei was already looking for better options just one season into the League, how would they react?

Heh heh.

As soon as the Chiefs’ fans started attacking Li Wei, he would become unsettled and the Jacksonville Jaguars would find an opportunity to strike.

A trap, one Caldwell had quietly set for Li Wei to jump into.

Mahomes didn’t notice the trap at all, looking at Caldwell with full-blown confusion, his eyes seeming to ask: what are you really talking about?

However.

Li Wei, on the other hand, was completely composed, laughing joyfully, "Ha, my mom would be sad, she always complains about me being too far from home."

Caldwell: Huh?

Mahomes and Veach, among others, were also entirely baffled, not understanding the relevance of Li Wei’s response; it was the reporters who were sharp ——

New York.

Li Wei was from New York, and despite now residing in Kansas City, his family still lived in New York.

Confronted with Caldwell’s invitation, Li Wei’s response was, "If I transfer, I’d prefer New York over Jacksonville."

New York Giants: Is this manna from heaven?

New York Jets: Heh, delusions are free. Those unaware might think there’s only one NFL team in New York.

The real crux is that Caldwell didn’t catch the implied message in Li Wei’s words, remaining in a foggy daze and inexplicably getting tricked by Li Wei.

Consequently, the conversation ended without coherence.

Caldwell attempted to assert his presence, first by making an impression on Li Wei, then by unsettling the minds and morale of the Kansas City Chiefs, and third, by creating media buzz to attract attention to the Jacksonville Jaguars; he could never have imagined that he would find himself perplexed and the conversation ending abruptly.

Stepping out of the hotel lobby, standing by the entrance, bathed in the golden sunlight of Florida, Caldwell was several beats too slow when a chill crept down his neck. It was only then that he finally came back to his senses:

What just happened?

So, was this a case of ’the magic rises one foot, and the devil rises ten’?

Caldwell couldn’t help but reflect on his life, what had been his original purpose in coming to confront Li Wei at the hotel, why was his mind now a complete blank?

Was this normal?

"Caldwell, a die-hard Kansas City Chiefs fan incognito?"

"With the American League finals about to commence, does the Jacksonville Jaguars team manager concede without a fight?"

"Another stalwart is added to the ’Fans Under Li Wei’s Suit Trousers’ Club: David Caldwell."

"Caldwell warmly invited Li Wei to visit Jacksonville, but Li Wei’s heart was set on New York."

"Li Wei, a dream that Caldwell could not realize."

Caldwell attempted to create some chaos in the Kansas City Chiefs’ locker room but never expected his sneaky plan to backfire, creating a media frenzy of ridicule and sarcasm that instead dropped a bomb in the Jacksonville Jaguars’ locker room.

A single stone stirred up a thousand ripples.

Fournette: ...

Despite Fournette saying nothing, the gazes in the Jacksonville Jaguars’ locker room looking his way were a mix of sympathy and teasing, as if the whole team knew there was a green cloud of ridicule hanging over Fournette’s head.

Fournette was at a loss for words, he wasn’t wearing a green hat, really, he wasn’t.

Thump, thump, thump thump thump—an intense and accelerating drumbeat, striding confidently toward the last stop on the road to the 2017 Super Bowl:

The Conference Championship games.

Li Wei and the Kansas City Chiefs were no exception.

Many believed that with the Pittsburgh Steelers’ upset elimination, the chances of a rematch between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Pittsburgh Steelers from Week 6 of the regular season were lost. Furthermore, the lack of a star player within the Jacksonville Jaguars was a major disappointment, causing the American Conference championship game to feel unworthy of anticipation; controversy even erupted when the League announced the schedule—

The National Conference championship game would take place in the afternoon.

The American Conference championship game, in the evening.

It was a common belief that the National Conference championship game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Philadelphia Eagles should have been more exciting and uncertain, and therefore should have been scheduled for the evening slot.

But the League scheduled the American Conference championship game for the evening, their overt favoritism towards Li Wei as clear as the sun in the sky. Goodell greedily shearing a sheep was quite a distasteful sight, sparking widespread discussion on social media.

Moreover, the owner of the Philadelphia Eagles, Jeffery Lurie, made a rare public statement during an interview.

"We’re ready, and I believe we should have received better treatment."

Although not a direct attack, the message was clearly understood, garnering support from countless fans and onlookers.

Clearly, everyone had their own judgment about the two Conference championship games.

Soon after.

The Philadelphia Eagles showed they meant business; they did not let their owner become the butt of jokes, securing a resounding victory that sent out a powerful message.

On the opening drive, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Keenum delivered top-notch performance, finishing with a 25-yard touchdown pass, but when everyone thought Keenum’s Cinderella story would continue to shine, it turned out to be the finale.

After that, the Philadelphia Eagles completely took over the game.

Against the league’s top defensive team, the Minnesota Vikings, the Philadelphia Eagles’ offensive group went on a rampage, with quarterback Nick Foles delivering the most spectacular performance of the entire season.

With 456 yards of offense, including both passing and rushing, the Philadelphia Eagles utterly demolished the Minnesota Vikings’ defense, rolling to a crushing 38-0 victory.

By the end of the game, the score was fixed at 38-7, with the Philadelphia Eagles slaughtering the Minnesota Vikings and striding triumphantly to the Super Bowl.

Foles, 26 for 33, 352 yards, three touchdowns.

Foles, unwatched, uncared for and underestimated, seized the opportunity to shine at the most important stage of his career.

In stark contrast was Keenum, previously victorious and seemingly having the world at his feet, now dejected on the stage of the National Conference championship.

48 for 28, 271 yards, one touchdown, two interceptions.

One game was all it took for Keenum to be reduced to his former self.

The entire league was in shock, unable to believe the National Conference championship game had been so decisively won.

Incredibly!
