🎙️ "…Miguel with a quick pass to Carter—Carter controls it well—he's looking for options—wait, he's taking it himself! Carter dribbles past one, past two! He's in the box—HE SHOOTS!"
The ball rocketed toward the top corner, but the Vilanova keeper made an incredible dive, barely tipping it away.🎙️ "What a save! But that was a dangerous attempt from Daniel Carter. He's showing real confidence today!"Daniel clenched his jaw as he jogged back to position. He needed to focus. He couldn't let outside distractions ruin this match.CF Igualada kept the pressure up. Miguel sent a long pass to Erik, who flicked it back to Daniel. He spotted an opening and sent a through ball to Dani Roca, their forward.🎙️ "Brilliant vision from Carter! Roca is one-on-one with the keeper—AND IT'S A GOAL! CF Igualada takes the lead!"The crowd erupted as Roca sprinted toward the corner flag, arms raised in celebration. Daniel felt a moment of relief—he was still in control on the pitch.But just as he turned to jog back, his vision blurred.The world around him slowed—no, not just slowed. It froze.The ball was suspended midair, the players locked in motion. The referee stood frozen, whistle half-raised.Daniel's breath caught in his throat. His power—was it growing stronger?Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw something move.A figure, walking toward him through the frozen world.Daniel's pulse skyrocketed. Someone else could move in this state?The man was tall, dressed in a dark coat, his face hidden beneath a hood. He stopped a few feet away from Daniel, his voice deep and cold."You thought we were gone, didn't you?"Daniel's body tensed. "Who are you?"The man chuckled. "Someone who should be dead."Realization struck Daniel like a bolt of lightning. The leader of the organization—the one he thought had been eliminated—was still alive."Time is running out, Daniel," the man said. "You can't outrun the truth forever."Then, just as suddenly as it had started, everything snapped back into motion.The crowd roared. The players moved. The game continued like nothing had happened.But Daniel stood frozen, heart pounding.The real fight was just beginning.
