Chapter 857 - 20: Puma’s Concession and Ma’el’s Proposal! Isabella’s Unusual Behavior, Bell’s Debut!

Anyway, this was his way of using his immense influence and voice to pressure Puma into making concessions.

Rationally, when a person becomes stronger and brings more to others, they indeed deserve more benefits, and everyone along the benefit chain should allot more rights to them.

This is also a rule, and if someone tries to escape this rule, it will inevitably lead to conflicts.

But emotionally, Puma signed him before he was famous, cultivated him for the future, and even gave him one of the biggest contracts in football now.

He should remember the good from Puma.

The end of cooperation also depends on conscience; if his relationship with Mendes was purely bound by interests, and the same with Puma, then this collaboration wouldn’t last long.

"Mr. Alto, thank you for your hard work. If there’s anything you need in the future, just give me a call."

Ma’el did not release Alto’s hand, and gently smiled, "I don’t think that six shooting tasks a year is the limit. If there are good opportunities that need me to shoot more promotional videos, please feel free to contact me.

"When I’m doing extra promotions for Primacy, I’ll also try to bring Puma along."

The hand that was shaking with Ma’el suddenly became stiff, and a special expression appeared on Alto’s face.

Realizing it, he immediately nodded heavily and shook hands firmly, "We never think you have wronged Puma in any way. What you have brought to us, and what we have given you, are equal.

"However, I still want to thank you for your goodwill because we might really need you to help us more."

Five minutes later, the two parted downstairs, and Alto insisted on escorting Ma’el down.

"Buzz buzz buzz...!"

It wasn’t until the roaring sound disappeared down the road that he took a deep breath, tremblingly turned his body, grimaced a little while quietly growled a few times, and then quickly took small steps toward the office.

...

"The UK mainly consists of five important cities: London, Manchester, Sheffield, Birmingham, and Leeds."

Not long after, in the villa, Isabella sat in front of a computer wearing black-framed glasses, and talked to Ma’el about her plans, "Among them, London will have more brand stores; this is our base.

"The rest are major cities in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Portugal, where we also plan to establish brand stores.

"As for other continents, we won’t rush; we’ll use these as bases, and the speed of external expansion will depend on the brand influence and increase in sales speed.

"The main sales channel will definitely remain online stores; offline brand stores are more for promoting the brand image, creating venues for high-end, excellence concepts."

Understanding her basic idea, Ma’el nodded, "It’s up to you, you’re the professional in this area."

"Heehee."

Isabella chuckled, moved closer to Ma’el’s side, and wrapped her arms around Ma’el’s neck, "This is a one-year plan. By then, we might need your help.

"For example, the opening of brand stores in major cities like London, Paris, Milan will definitely require you to come in person for promotion."

"That’s definitely no problem." Ma’el agreed, as since he had invested money, he should do it well, and not recklessly believe that it would develop just because he had his name.

After discussing these, using the remaining free time, he headed to the training ground for practice.

After setting the new training plan, he did not just practice those few Level 4 skills and Fancy Additional Skills, he also explored comprehensive additional skills for shooting and passing.

However, these two seemed different from the skills he practiced before, simply showing up on the panel appeared extremely difficult.

If it weren’t for the increasingly strong feeling of shooting additional skills and the faint sense of passing additional skills, he would have stopped wasting time there long ago.

"Bang bang bang...!"

The sound of striking the ball rang out, and mentally exhausted for a long time, Ma’el also began to physically exert, continuing this lifestyle for quite a while.

Fortunately, he hadn’t forgotten his roots and continued to train, striving for the three Level 5 skills.

Like many people have said, perhaps he doesn’t need to train so hard now, by simply maintaining a good state, he can compete for some important honors.

But besides these, he has other pursuits.

For instance, seeing how all skills can reach Level 5, reaching the limits of human levels, he wonders what kind of realm he can reach, and what kind of dominance he can exhibit in the most competitive games!

No matter what others do, as long as Ma’el can see the limit, he will definitely strive towards that direction.

This can be called curiosity, or a longing for truly becoming the Great Perfection Ball God.

"Bang...!!"

He practiced until dusk, and after blasting the last shot, Ma’el stopped to stretch and prepare for a rest, simultaneously checking the progress in the skill level panel.

[Skill: Rapid Charge lv4]

[Skill Level: (3249/5000)]

[Skill: Divine Power lv4]

[Skill Level: (2598/5000)]

[Skill: Curved Blade lv4]

[Skill Level: (1773/2000)]

[Skill: Curved Trajectory Guidance lv4]

[Skill Level: (1734/2000)]

[Additional Skill: Fancy Techniques lv3]

[Skill Level: (673/1500)]

Observing that the Level 4 Curved Blade and Level 4 Curved Trajectory Guidance had truly reached the final moments of upgrade.

Maintaining this progress, next month, they’ll absolutely level up!

By then, he will be equipped with three Level 5 skills, and his dominance over the league and Champions League should reach a terrifying level!

At night returning to the room, holding Isabella, Ma’el suddenly sensed that her emotions were somewhat different than usual.

"Leon."

After hesitating for a long time, Isabella turned her head, her face filled with worry and curiosity about his reaction, "I haven’t had it for two months. Do you think it could be because of one of those times...?"

Ma’el’s pupils slightly contracted, momentarily unsure of how to respond, finally saying, "When you’re not busy, let’s go to the hospital for a check-up."

"Okay."

...

September 29th, the final match of September arrived.

Arsenal traveled to Manchester City and faced Manchester City in the sixth round of the Premier League at the Etihad Stadium.

In the pre-match press conference, a reporter asked Wenger the usual question asked at every conference, "Bell has been on the roster for a while now, will he play today?"

Everyone in the audience looked at Wenger, and many noticed a fleeting, never-seen-before gleam of delight on the old professor’s face.

Though brief and hard to detect, it was noticeable to many experienced media personnel.

"I can’t answer that question. Everyone will know once the match starts."

Wenger’s answer remained vague as ever, "If a player has integrated well and is in good form, then he might have a chance to get on the field."

"Thank you.....!"

Soon after, following a voice of gratitude, Wenger walked out of the media room, and the place turned noisily chaotic, with journalists all discussing Bell’s news.

Media on social platforms also started speculating whether Bell would have a chance to appear on today’s starting list.

Until 30 minutes before the match, Arsenal and Manchester City announced the starting line-ups simultaneously, and the European football community was immediately filled with headlines about one news.

"Bell makes his Arsenal debut! He will partner with Ma’el and Van Persie on the front line, Giroud on temporary substitution!" — The Guardian

"A luxurious line-up! Arsenal today chose a 4-3-3 formation!

"Goalkeeper Lori, left back Kyle Walker, center-backs Thiago Silva paired with Mertesacker, right back Sagna.

"Anchor midfielder Arteta, with attacking midfielders Cazorla partnered with Ramsey ahead of him.

"Left winger Ma’el, center forward Van Persie, right winger Bell!

"This starting line-up is valued at 494 million Euros, and it’s a squad capable of contending for championships on any front!" — London Evening Paper

"..."

Fifteen minutes later, at Etihad Stadium, the crowd was bustling, and the shouts echoed to the skies.

"Aaahh...Ohhh.....!!"

Ma’el led a new Arsenal onto the pitch, holding a small mascot’s hand, and not far behind him was that strong debutant player.

MFB combination, finally stepped onto this pitch together.

Just like how MSN and BBC could score so many goals together, hopefully, they can achieve the same and score even more, becoming a combination people talk about fondly!

Today, the debut match of the combination, let it hopefully end with a victory!
