Ultimate Cash System-Chapter 31: Are you kidding me?

"Sorry, hearing a hundred million after entering the room has made me temporarily dumb. I trust Coach Henry fully on this matter," Lukas said with a smile. He was not certain what to talk about and if he messed up the grand scheme of things.

" Alright, you are wise," Ed Wade said with a smile. He was actually very impressed with how Lukas just decided to have someone more knowledgeable negotiate instead of him.

" Lukas, let me say this straight: this contract is a four-year-based contract, so if you have any misconceptions, now is the time for you to shed them from your head," Henry said to Lukas, who was not understanding the basic things.

"So, they will pay me twenty-five million dollars in a year?" Lukas asked as his initial hype was going down.

So, they basically clickbaited me.

" Yes and no. You have to earn every penny in this deal. I'll let you know when we go back," Henry said, and then he talked with the general and field manager for ten straight minutes.

Lukas could understand in that conversation that Henry was fighting for him and trying to get as much benefit as possible for him.

"Lukas wants to prioritize his studies as well, so we can't push him that much either." Henry suddenly said Lukas agreed on this part, with his previous life memory, he could earn money, but the knowledge he was gathering right now in the university was most crucial in his life.

" We understand that. That's why we are ready for the helicopter taxi deal as well." Ed Wade said he was all for a youngster learning, so he proposed a deal that Lukas and Henry couldn't refuse.

" Alright, deal is done. We will go consult with our agent, then maybe tomorrow we will meet?" Henry said he was Lukas's personal manager now, so he has to take responsibility.

" Alright, If it's official you have to come to Philadelphia, just let me know tonight." Ed Wade said as he got up from his seat, and Field Manager Terry also got up from his seat.

They all shook their hands politely. Then Ed Wade and Terry took their leave.

In the whole big room there were only three people left: Lukas, Henry, and his brother-in-law, Jaegan.

" It's eleven already?" Lukas broke the silence as he had a meeting with an IT lawyer, so he wanted to hurry back to Princeton.

" Yes, Brother-in-Law, thanks to your exceptional abilities, Lukas got such an offer." Henry looked at his brother-in-law and thanked him properly.

" No worries. This young man has better talent than we expected." Jaegan laughed out loud, he was a chill guy, although he was tempted to keep old Lukas on his Double A class team, but he knows Lukas does not belong here.

" By the way, Lukas, do you feel any discomfort after pitching with such speed? Especially in your hand," Jaegan asked. The first time he saw the speed radar, he could not believe his own eyes at what he was seeing.

" No, I feel normal. There is no pain or anything like that. Trust me, if I were to feel slightly different, I would quit this," Lukas said. He does not have any intentions of harming his own body for some money.

" Well, that's because you are still not fully committed to the game, you have to be passionate about it." Jaegan patted Lukas's shoulder with a smile, then winked at Henry and went out of the room.

" Alright, let's go, Lukas. While traveling, I'll explain what they proposed," Henry said with a smile.

Lukas, nodding his head, took the backpack and left with Henry. As he was reaching the parking lot where Henry had parked his car, he saw Joe with his manager, who were also going towards the parking lot.

Lukas instantly felt fire in his chest, as if Joe was his enemy, but he wanted to defeat him in the field in a match with a ball in hand.

" Joe Rogan " Joe came directly in front of Lukas, and he extended his hand, although there was a look of pride in his eyes, but Lukas can't see the arrogance in his eyes anymore.

" Lukas Martin." Lukas didn't shy away, he held Joe's hand tightly and then shook it.

" Next time we meet, I am going all out," Lukas said, as he was still not over that home run.

" Do your worst. " Joe said this, smiled, and left with his manager.

What am I, child? Going all out

Lukas was regretting what teenager-like thing he just did.

Henry came in with a smile and then patted his shoulder, he was behaving like an adult guiding a teenager.

Lukas felt very bad and just sat down in the car quietly, the more he behaved like that, the more teen he looked.

As the car started, Lukas's phone suddenly rang. He saw it was Annie, and his mood lifted quite a bit.

" Hello, Luke... I am calling you from the live audition set. " Annie's angelic voice came over, she was as if flying over the moon.

" Well, hello, May I ask why you are so happy"? Lukas asked, unintentionally his face also formed a smile.

" I went to this big audition for a big movie and got the main role in it," Annie replied. She couldn't keep her happiness to herself.

" Oh! Which movie?" Lukas asked, he was certain she is a great actress, but he doesn't know which movie she just got into.

" It's top secret, but I'll tell you anyway. It's called Pearl Harbor," Annie excitedly said.

" Are you kidding me?"
