He came to the center of the round table, lit a cigarette, and said, \"Do you know what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most turned to look at him, the bar owner still held some weight in their hearts, his words naturally had to be listened to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Poker is a kind of wisdom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bar owner took a puff of his cigarette, playing the role of Jones’s ardent follower, \"I’ve been watching Jones—first poker, second poker, third poker!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted his head, utterly enchanted, as if he had touched a bit of Jones’s realm, \"Poker... Poker... Poker!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others in the bar looked at him with puzzled faces, feeling a bit strange, yet slightly intoxicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Jones walked in from outside, laughing heartily, seemingly understanding from the cheers inside the stadium that the team had scored again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did they score?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rushed into the bar, anxiously asking, \"Who scored? Was it Ma’el again?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others looked at him, at this enviable lucky guy, and numbly nodded their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh yeah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jones excitedly took out that betting slip, kissed it with a ’mua,’ then raised his hand high and said, \"I bet correctly! Poker!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This spiral brainwashing from the bar owner made some on-site swallow hard, their eyes showing a bit of frenzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They seemed ready to play poker too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The odds have dropped to 6.1!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone raised their phone at this moment, disappointingly, \"The bookmaker reacted too fast! It just dropped to 6.7, and upon refreshing, it became 6.1!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many lowered their heads, and upon lifting them again, looked at Jones with admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy always hits the sweet spot, really like a god in gambling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jones, come have a beer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone immediately bought him a beer, inviting him over to sit down, as if to bask in his aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jones accepted the invitation, walked over, sat down, crossed his legs, \"I told you my thought process long ago, but no one listened, now look, you regret it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many stood behind him, listening to his teachings, like fervent believers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sipping his beer, Jones excitedly began speaking about his success story, \"The first time I bet on him, I initially only wagered a few hundred pounds, but as I was leaving the betting shop, I suddenly heard a voice beside my ear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" Many looked at him with curiosity, listening intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Consider it again...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jones vividly narrated, striving to recreate the scene for everyone, \"Do you think it was the betting shop owner calling? No, that was the voice appearing in my mind!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I stood at the betting shop door for a long time and soon saw a thief in the distance stealing an Arsenal fan’s wallet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought about it, my wallet was in the back pocket..... If I had just walked out, precisely at that location, I would have been the person who lost their wallet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone listened, dazed, not daring to make a sound, not understanding what Jones was trying to express.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So I was immensely grateful, thanking my hesitation for saving my wallet, then turned around and bet all my money on Ma’el’s Golden Boot Award, thinking at that time that I was being a bit impulsive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jones picked up his glass, stood up, and toasted to everyone, \"Until today I realized that was advice from God!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was stunned where they stood, unmoving, staring at Jones, looking shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not getting any reaction from them, Jones dissatisfiedly said, \"Do you understand? Applause!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clap.....!\" Applause echoed inside the bar, fans awakened as if from a dream, raising glasses to clink with Jones, sharing in the joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They then continued to focus on the broadcast screen, only regrettably, the two teams slowed down their rhythm afterward, and no more goals were scored until halftime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the 88th minute of the second half, Van Persie received Ma’el’s cross from the flank and blasted it in for the match’s third goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three to zero!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another win!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Though a bit of a fast start, low finish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jones raised his glass, he had already become the absolute protagonist here, \"But let’s still have a toast, celebrating for the team and Ma’el to continue moving forward!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cheers!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"12 wins, 3 draws!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ma’el 17 goals!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a burst of cheers, they ended today’s soccer-watching journey satisfactorily, gradually heading home.\u003C\u002Fp>",738,"2026-06-03T06:44:03.644Z","2026-06-03T06:44:07.339Z",1,"novelbin.me","5378148e8fe53b77b341e9d41d839ab8fd875aa0027f8cd04748ec3195cbc0ee","from-arsenal-to-the-ball-god-chapter-387","from-arsenal-to-the-ball-god-chapter-385",391,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffrom-arsenal-to-the-ball-god-cover.jpg"]
