After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!

Capello adjusted his glasses and said,

”Alright.”

The nimble young store owner swiftly trimmed off the excess tendrils, wrapped the roses in paper and ribbons, and handed them to Capello.

After paying, Capello left and suddenly a man burst out shouting, ”Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment.”

...

February 10th.

For the match against Valladolid, Huang Kaiwen started in the first team.

With ”Andy Carroll” drawn, Huang Kaiwen acted as a pivot during the game, assisting Raul in performing a hat trick, leading Real Madrid to a resounding 6:0 victory at home.

February 14th.

Huang Kaiwen’s latest photo album was released on Liben.

The overdramatic name ”Conqueror of Heaven” was very popular among Liben fans.

All major bookstores became busy.

Liben fans were extremely enthusiastic about this release.

The first batch of photo albums sold out quickly.

”Huang Kaiwen is truly a once-in-4000-years handsome man, and I even pulled a life-sized standee!”

”This country’s best! I had someone help buy the photo album lottery, purchased 20 books, and still didn’t win.”

”360° with no dead angles, I guess he’s the only one of his kind!”

”The most crucial thing is that Kevin is all-natural, completely different from those plastic-surgery stars from South Korea.”

”I never thought he could also play chess, truly a prodigy in talent. I’ve previously seen videos of Kevin singing, and his level is not at all inferior to Koji Tamaki and Shinji Tanimura. I wonder when Kevin will have a concert at the Budokan.”

”I never expected such a perfect person to exist in the world, not a single man in Japan can compare to Kevin!”

”I must collect all of Kevin’s merchandise!”

Originally bustling, more and more young women were standing by the walls on the streets of Shibuya, competition becoming fiercer than ever.

February 16th.

Away game against Real Betis.

Real Madrid took the lead in the 3rd minute, but before the first half ended, Betis’s Brazilian winger Edu delivered and scored, helping Betis overtake the score.

In the second half, the opposition’s defense was very resolute, and in the 72nd minute, Capello subbed in Huang Kaiwen.

Having drawn ”Ruben Neves,” Huang Kaiwen had just entered the field when he scored from a free kick just outside the box.

Subsequently, he frequently dropped back to organize and pass to his teammates. Robben, playing his first game back from suspension, was fouled at the top of the large box, and Real Madrid was awarded another free kick in almost the same position.

Huang Kaiwen, after his run-up, sent the ball into the upper right corner of the goal.

Watching the surrounded Huang Kaiwen, Spalletti, in front of a television set, pressed his hands against his temples, his bald head shimmering under the light.

As the coach of Rome, his team was being pressured in the league by the Milanese duo.

Although the Sensi family provided strong support, due to the poor economic situation in Italy, Rome could not throw money around like before.

Thus, the UEFA Champions League money was very important for Rome, even if they didn’t win the title, progressing further could mean attracting one more player in the summer. The results in the Champions League were crucial.

Spalletti believed that if Almeria and Mallorca could do it, Rome could too.

However, he first needed to solve a problem.

Almeria and Mallorca had not faced a Real Madrid with Huang Kaiwen.

As a firm believer in various supernatural powers, Spalletti felt he needed a little help.

After checking flight information, Spalletti hurried to Rome Fiumicino Airport.

He had heard that there was a very effective wizard in Turin.

Considering that dealing with the matter of Huang Kaiwen was not suitable for public knowledge, if discovered, it would be difficult to withstand the fury of Italian fans, going to Turin could also reduce the risk of being recognized.

An hour later, Spalletti, donning a hat and a coat, boarded a taxi.

To avoid leaving personal information, he had specially prepared some cash, planning not to use a credit card in Turin.

Huang Kaiwen’s reputation in Italy was too good, he had to be careful and cautious, as being discovered by fans could lead to consequences more serious than just dismissal.

Based on information from a friend, he found the alley.

It was nearly 11 PM, not too late, but the ominous alley looked particularly terrifying at night.

Prepared, Spalletti took a flashlight from his backpack, looked at the narrow alley, took a deep breath, and walked in.

The alley was littered with garbage and rubber products, slowing Spalletti’s pace considerably.

The coach of Rome tiptoed, walked for about 5 minutes, and finally reached the end of the alley.

He took out the paper with the cryptic characters, compared it to the sign that was identical, and pushed open the wooden door.

Creak—

After pushing the door open, a dark shadow flashed past.

”Damn it!”

Spalletti crouched down clutching his nose, the acidic sensation causing his eyes to moisten.

”Welcome, welcome!”

A small dark-skinned man, rubbing his hands, came out to greet him.

Grinning with yellow teeth, the man crouched in front of Spalletti and said, ”This is my door god, it’s very effective.”

Spalletti looked up at the owl specimen hanging on the door frame, recalling the movies he had seen before, indeed these creatures were always associated with wizards.

Spalletti, covering his nose, stood up and asked, ”Are you the wizard?”

”Wizard? Yes, yes, I am!”

The small man nodded quickly.

”That’s right.”

Spalletti looked around the room, which was filled with lots of strange and curious items, and with the air carrying a smell similar to formalin, he was already 80% convinced.
