Ultimate Cash System-Chapter 93: The Fk?. (1/2)
Chapter 93: The Fk?. (1/2)
Lukas went back to the locker room, he was alone as veterans were training and keeping their team game strong.
Lukas took a shower, wore a white t-shirt, and ate in the catering room, which was just beside the locker room.
His gear is already inside the locker, and as his jersey number was 7, he also got the number 7 locker.
The catering service was very good, they had almost everything, and as he was taking his food, he saw the team with coaches entering the room.
They already looked tired and also famished for some reason. Lukas greeted them as he was the junior member and also very new to the team.
Surprisingly, they greeted him back. Galen came with a frown and sat at the table Lukas was seated at. He looked a bit unwell, but he still sat in front of Lukas and smiled at him.
" If you debuted next year, I would’ve prepared you for the World Series, but no worries, we still have time. If you were a normal player, they would’ve held you till the next season, but they know they can’t bind you with that contract, so they are deploying you as early as possible to regain their money and make profit out of you." Galen said little sadly, he looked like he was also the victim of this culture as well.
" Well, I don’t care, I have a flexible contract unlike you, so it’s good, and I wanted to see what it’s like to be in the field." Lukas said casually, he actually doesn’t care that much.
" Good for you, don’t eat much, we Pitchers have it a bit harder than others," Galen said with a chuckle, and then he started to eat.
After eating, Lukas sat in the locker room because Terry had called upon everyone in the team. He was going to announce the players and their batting lineup. As they were the away team, they were going to bat first.
" Hey! Everyone, Today we’ve shifted a bit of our team. Our Lukas will be hitting in the spot of Sam, third. He’ll be in the top 2nd innings. It means he’ll go out in the batter’s box at number 3, so get yourself ready and fight with all you have, as this will decide if we finish last or second to last in the National Standings," Terry said with a smile and his encouraging voice.
After that the whole locker room was silenced because they had no idea that Lukas was also a batter, coming in the lineup so high that they were actually shocked.
After Terry left, Lukas just pretended nothing happened and sat in the locker room with others. Mike came in with a smile on his face and patted Lukas on his shoulders.
Jimmy gritted his teeth. This year his performance was going very badly, and Lukas was just rubbing salt in his wound. He hated Lukas not as a person but as a player.
Lukas couldn’t care less about Jimmy and his thinking, he just smiled back at Mike and wore his striped jersey, which showed his number 7 and his name on the back and, surprisingly, the WWE logo on the front, as they were the sponsors of the Phillies currently.
Lukas smiled and looked at himself in the mirror. The jersey was a little tight, but it suited him well. He just took a cap from his locker and, nodding his head, went down without waiting for anyone.
As he reached almost to the field where they would sit in, he heard loud noises and saw the marketing head, Mila, coming toward him, and she was running at her full speed.
"Wait, wait, where are you going?" Mila asked, she looked panicked and troubled.
" Dugout? I am the batter number 3, so I should just sit there, right"? Lukas asked, he was looking as innocent as possible.
" Who do you think you are? You have sold the whole stadium’s worth of tickets, they are waiting for a grand entrance. Go to your truck, the makeup artist will be there, and sit there until she’s done. Wait for me then.
Lukas nodded his head and went back to the parking lot, which was reserved for the team, and saw his truck standing there. Shaking his head with a smile, he entered it and saw the little girl who did his makeup last time.
" You’re late," Emelia said, then grabbed Lukas and let him sit in the chair in front of the mirror. Then she did his hair. His hair was long, so she tied it very tightly, but he still looked handsome somehow, and she just did something to his ear, and unlike last time, she did not put makeup on his face.
" You are good to go," Emelia said, her face flushed a little when she saw Lukas standing up and smiling at her.
Lukas then went out and could hear people yelling and screaming at the top of their lungs, they were as if watching a match.
Lukas went back to the place where he was before the entrance for the players to enter the field, he saw Mila standing with Terry.
" Lukas, come by, boy. You are next in line to bat,"Terry said, then held Lukas by his shoulder.
" Wait here, people are already going crazy not seeing you in the dugout. You’ll enter the batter’s box directly, let the hype form a little before you show yourself," Mila said. She was the marketing genius and also knew how to control the crowd.
"Alright," Lukas said with a smile, then saw Henry coming up with a black-colored bat in his hand.
" You forgot the bat inside," Henry said, then gave the bat back to Lukas while taking big breaths. He was smiling a little.

" You are up, champ," Mila said, then grabbed his hand and took him to the entrance’s mouth and held him tight just like last time.
