The Legendary Spirit

Chapter 31 - The Legendary Spirit

The stadium was a thunderstorm of sound—chanting, groaning, murmuring, all blended into one restless sea. But in Nathan's ears, it faded to silence.

Before him hovered the translucent screen, its letters glowing like something out of myth.

Spirit of Maradona – Active

Duration: 30 minutes

Nathan read it once.

Then again.

And then… he smiled.

"Heh…" A low chuckle slipped out.

He looked toward the far end of the pitch where Arsenal players jogged back to position, high-fiving each other like the match was already sealed.

Ødegaard was grinning. Saka was bouncing on his heels, light and loose. Saliba gave Ben White a fist bump, cool as ever.

Nathan's jaw tightened.

"I'll show you, Arsenal," he whispered. "I'll remind you who we are."

81st minute.
