Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God-Chapter 1054 - 1053

Wu Da stopped in his tracks. Could it be that he was moved?

Jin Jiufu continued, "Let me give you some advice. At your age, and having been away from professional fields for so many years, this place is no longer suitable for you. Why not take some money and live your life in peace? Wouldn't that be comfortable? If I were you, I would definitely agree. You might want to look in the mirror; with that appearance, limping as you walk, do you still want to be a public figure? Aren't you afraid people will laugh at you? There's no dignity in that, am I right?"

His words were truly piercing, relentlessly striking at Wu Da's sore spots.

A painful expression already flashed across Wu Da's eyes. Indeed, in his current state, he wasn't the best image; even after becoming the head coach of the Yun City Team and putting on their brand new uniform, his dark skin and weathered look could not be hidden.

He looked like a forlorn uncle who had endured hardships.

Going out to meet people like this was truly embarrassing.

He felt embarrassed himself!

Jin Jiufu continued, "You see, you used to be so handsome, a dazzling young man, full of vigor and spirit, capable of charming countless young ladies. Photos of your youth can still be found online. Imagine how the media would portray you now, looking like this. They'd be curious about what you went through to become so old and unsightly. They would ridicule and mock you, treating you like a joke. Why put yourself through this suffering?"

"Don't blame me for being blunt. I genuinely care about you! After all, we are old friends, right? I don't want you to be seen like a monkey for people's amusement. I truly care about you."

Jin Jiufu almost convinced himself with his words.

"Let's put it this way, you said I was apprehensive of you. That's pure nonsense. How many years has it been since you last held a football? Do I need to be apprehensive of you? It's impossible. Ultimately, I'm thinking of your benefit, wanting to spare you from embarrassment, so you can make an offer. I'll give you some money to enjoy your later years without all this exposure."

Jin Jiufu feigned goodwill.

At this point, how could Lin Fan not realize that Jin Jiufu's sole aim was to make Wu Da leave the Yun City Team?

Such malice.

If Wu Da truly believed Jin Jiufu and left the Yun City Team, Lin Fan wouldn't know where to find a head coach in such a short time. Finding any coach might not be hard, but finding one like Wu Da was difficult.

Additionally, with a new head coach, the team would have to start training from scratch, and there simply wasn't enough time.

While Jin Jiufu appeared to target Wu Da, in reality, he was harming the Yun City Team!

If Jin Jiufu was genuinely worried about Wu Da, then he might be targeting Wu Da and just incidentally harming the Yun City Team.

But what if Jin Jiufu wasn't aiming at Wu Da but rather at the Yun City Team?

This left Lin Fan puzzled because the Yun City Team's past performance was poor, not in the same league as the Hang City Fuli Team. There was no reason for Jin Jiufu to target the Yun City Team.

For a moment, Lin Fan was suspicious, unable to discern Jin Jiufu's real intent and motive.

Wu Da said, "Jin Jiufu, do you really want to give me money to leave the Yun City Team?"

Hearing this, Jin Jiufu was secretly delighted, thinking Wu Da was interested. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Of course, why would I lie? I'm thinking of your well-being, knowing that you primarily want to be a head coach for the money, given your past struggles. You want to improve your life. That's easy to fix; I have plenty of money. I can help improve your life directly without the hassle. Only an old friend like me would care about you this much. Aren't you going to agree quickly? What are you waiting for?" Jin Jiufu said.

Wu Da chuckled and said, "Jin Jiufu, if you think I am coaching the Yun City Team for money, you are gravely mistaken. In my younger days, I indeed loved money, but over the years, I've long seen through it. Money is just external. As long as you're alive and don't starve to death, what's the need for so much money? In this world, some things are more important than money. For me, what's more important than money is football!"

"Therefore, if you think you can send me away with money, you're overthinking. I worked hard for this opportunity, so I won't give up. I can no longer fight on the field myself, but I can train others to battle on the field in my place, to strive for glory, to fulfill the dreams I once promised!"

"Weren't you reminiscing with me about old times earlier tonight? Let me ask you, do you remember I once told you that one day, I will stand at the pinnacle of world football? My goal is pure, reaching the top of the football world, as always!"

"I've said all I need to say. Do as you please!"

After speaking, Wu Da walked away without looking back, leaving Jin Jiufu stunned.

When Jin Jiufu came to his senses, Wu Da had already walked a distance away. His limping silhouette looked somewhat pitiful, but his strides were so firm, just like his determination.

"That damn cripple..." Jin Jiufu gritted his teeth. Wu Da actually refused to agree to his demands!

This was outright defiance.

"Boss, you had us bring him over. We've brought him, mission accomplished. If there's nothing else, we'll take our leave," the two thugs said, ready to slip away.

Jin Jiufu seemed to ponder for a moment, then raised his head, eyeing the two thugs: "Do you want to make more money?"

The two thugs exchanged a glance. Jin Jiufu's offer of making more money was tempting, but they realized he was up to no good, likely involving Wu Da.

They dared not provoke Wu Da any further, especially since Lin Fan, the "bad guy" in charge, was right next door, having heard their conversation loud and clear.

If they agreed to Jin Jiufu, Lin Fan would surely get rid of them.

"Sorry, boss, we're not taking this job anymore. Goodbye!"

The two thugs just wanted to get away from this place of trouble as quickly as possible and firmly refused Jin Jiufu, hastily slipping away.

Jin Jiufu spat, "Useless scum!"

He glared in the direction Wu Da left, his eyes flashing with murderous intent: "Cripple, you want to fight me? Ask yourself if you're even qualified!"

Then he stood up, turned to a suited man, and said, "Go settle the bill."

Saying this, he gave the suited man a look.

He then left with another suited man.

The suited man left to settle the bill also left after a while but did not head in Jin Jiufu's direction. Instead, he quietly left in the direction Wu Da had gone.

At this moment, the table where Lin Fan and Wei Yue'er sat was already empty, with both Lin Fan and Wei Yue'er nowhere in sight.

Under the night, Wu Da limped along the dimly lit street. Suddenly, a cough came from behind, and a suited man caught up with him.
