Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 782 Superhero
"Travis, you are my hero."

"Thank you, thank you for saving my life."

"Ahhh, ahhhh, I'm crazy about you! You're perfect!"

Over and over again, the fans surrounded them, repeating over and over that he was their hero and that he had changed their lives.

Kelsey gradually began to believe that competitive sports is more than just about winning or losing, and that he was changing the world in his own way, just like a superhero.

However, the cruel reality lies before him. His powerlessness, his insignificance, his cowardice make him so humble in the face of true life and death.

If they want to change the world, this is not enough.

Kelsey couldn't help but close her eyes, not having the heart to continue watching. The suppressed and repressed crying in the air made her heart tighten.

Suddenly, the silence was broken by the roar of an engine, followed by the sharp sound of tires tightening and emergency brakes tearing through the night. Before the black SUV could even stop completely, a figure opened the driver's door and rushed out.

Karen Gray.

Karen was running at full speed, trying to identify the direction in a hurry, but when she saw Felix and Levi, she braked suddenly and stopped.

"Felix..."

Karen was about to step forward, but her words and movements were cut short and she stopped. She looked at Felix breathlessly, with a hint of relief in her eyes; but such joy did not last long, and was soon overwhelmed by pain and sadness. She looked up at the sky and took deep breaths over and over again.

Should she be thankful? Thankful that Felix was safe and sound?

No, she had no choice.

Because she knew that what happened to Annie tonight could happen to Felix at any time.

During this period of time, she was always worried before going to bed every night; every morning after getting up, the first thing she did was to check on Felix's condition. Every day could be the end, every day could be a farewell, and this torment made Karen lose weight visibly.

Until tonight.

When Jenna calls her and tells her that Annie has passed away, Karen admits her selfishness.

The first thought that came to her mind was that Phoenix must not know the news.

When she realized her thoughts, Karen was overwhelmed by shame, guilt and self-blame. She couldn't believe that when Jenna informed her of the bad news, she had such a bad thought, so selfish, so narrow-minded and so ugly.

But what was worse was that she couldn't help herself.

It was only after she hung up the phone that Karen realized Felix had left.

Felix must have overheard her conversation, as he left the house without even taking his wheelchair, leaving Karen panic-stricken, like a headless fly.

At this moment, finally seeing Felix, Karen's tense heartstrings and chaotic thoughts completely collapsed. She couldn't even cry. She just gasped for breath, using all her strength to breathe, but still lacked oxygen. Her heart was beating wildly and almost exploded, and then she just stood there stupidly.

The whole world pressed the pause button at this moment.

No one moved, no one spoke, there was only the muffled sobs that trembled slightly in the howling cold wind, and it was more than just sadness.

Finally, Felix got tired of crying.

There was no sound and no strength. Although Felix still wanted to go upstairs to see Anne, his current physical condition did not allow it.

Levi picked up Felix and carried him to Karen's car.

Karen stood by the car door, at a loss, "I should go up and say hello to Jenna."

Levi stopped Karen and said, "Go back first. It's still not too late to come to the hospital tomorrow. Jenna will understand."

Karen stood there with mixed feelings, not even daring to look Levi in ​​the eye, and just hurriedly thanked him, then turned around and got in the car and drove away. Levi and the other three also got back in the car. Levi first sent Kelsey home, and then went home with Mahomes. They were silent all the way.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, Kelsey arrived at the training base, but unexpectedly found that Levi had arrived earlier and started warm-up exercises without any equipment, which made Kelsey a little uneasy.

He looked at Mahomes, but Mahomes also spread his hands and shrugged slightly, indicating that he knew nothing.

Levi looked... exceptionally calm and composed, as if nothing had happened, and he was training step by step and without any confusion.

Just like usual.

But it was precisely this kind of behavior that made people uneasy, because they all knew that today was different from usual and something important had happened.

One after another, the players arrived at the training base. They had heard the news.

Obviously, Anne is not an ordinary fan. Everyone in the locker room knows her and has a new respect for this optimistic, cheerful and positive girl who faces life. She is no longer a rumor, a symbol or a strange name, but a flesh-and-blood person who lives among them.

When the tragic news came, everyone felt deeply saddened and sighed.

The entire locker room was filled with a low pressure and the atmosphere was a little heavy.

However, looking at Levi who was still focused and hardworking, it felt particularly strange. Houston, Hill and others asked questions and expressed their concerns. Even Burns asked Levi alone with uneasiness.

“This is not the end.”

Levi said.

Anne didn't want their lives to stop because of her leaving. She hoped they could move on and continue to be happy.

More importantly, she hopes the Kansas Chiefs will fight to the end.

Although Anne was ultimately unable to come to Arrowhead Stadium to watch the federation finals, the battle that belonged to them and Anne would continue.

The best commemoration is not to immerse oneself in sorrow and pain, but to face the storms, difficulties and challenges with one's head held high.

“I hope I can be prepared.”

The Kansas Chief looked a little strange on this day.

The atmosphere was solemn and the mood was depressing, but the entire team devoted themselves to training in silence. The quality of training was far beyond usual, not only in the field training but also in the subsequent tactical training.

At the same time, Kansas City was noisy due to the influx of New England Patriots fans and other neutral fans, and conflicts of all sizes were rampant. The difference of this game was felt early on; however, the Kansas City Chiefs regained their concentration amid the hustle and bustle.

Gradually, the team gathered a firm determination from the inside out.

For Annie, and for the Chief.

After a full day of training, the atmosphere in the locker room seemed particularly depressing.

There were no jokes, no lively conversation, no all kinds of jokes and complaints, and even the way people walked became lighter and lighter.

One by one, everyone looked at Levi, urging Kelsey to come forward and ask, but Kelsey was also losing interest and he really had no energy to spare.

Even Mahomes, who is always cheerful and carefree, looks quiet and sad. The child who never knew the feeling of sorrow seems to have grown up overnight.

As their eyes exchanged, a figure finally broke the deadlock and walked towards Levi.

"Rookie, do you have a minute?"
