Buzz—

The air in the hotel lobby stagnated slightly, plunging into a brief chaos.

Not only the reporters, but the Kansas City Chiefs players also became alert, utterly baffled by the presence of the rival team's manager.

Was it a coincidence?

But how could it be a coincidence? Even a high school student would hardly believe that this scene was a coincidence; yet, no reasonable explanation came to mind.

The scene was momentarily chaotic.

Seeing this, Veach, the manager of the Kansas City Chiefs, stepped forward, greeting manager to manager—it was the proper way to proceed.

At the draft, Veach had outplayed Caldwell fiercely, fueling the dominant rise of the Kansas City Chiefs; however, nobody expected Caldwell to equally mastermind through the free market with sharp maneuvers, leading to a surprising comeback that turned the Jacksonville Jaguars into the biggest unpredictability of this postseason.

Now, the two managers finally faced each other for an ultimate showdown.

However.

An unexpected situation arose again.

After a brief, undercurrent-filled exchange of greetings, Caldwell flashed a smile and gestured with a raised hand.

"Sorry, just a moment."

Veach: ???

But because Caldwell had been polite, Veach didn't manage to stop him in time.

Caldwell left his position and quickly walked to the side, heading straight for—

In the midst of the chaos and astonishment, perhaps the only exception was Li Wei.

First, Li Wei didn't recognize Caldwell.

Second, Li Wei didn't know whether the League had regulations against team managers contacting players privately without team permission.

Third, Li Wei didn't think this matter had anything to do with him at all.

Until Caldwell caught up with him.

"Li Wei!"

Li Wei stopped, his face full of question marks, "Me?"

Li Wei displayed a polite smile, extended his right hand, and warmly shook it, "Mr. Caldwell."

Mahomes's palms began to sweat. Was this appropriate?

"Is there anything I can help you with? An autograph, or a photo together?"

Mahomes: Cough cough.

He almost choked on his own saliva, his cheeks quickly turning bright red. Facing the puzzled Caldwell, Mahomes hurriedly bowed his head and tucked in his chin, summoning all his strength to barely suppress his laughter.

Caldwell was taken aback, clearly not anticipating such a reaction from Li Wei, but as a team manager, he quickly steadied himself and calmed down.

Taking a deep breath, Caldwell broke into a wide smile again, "Li Wei, I am the manager of the Jacksonville Jaguars."

Identifying himself.

Li Wei slightly lifted his chin, his face displaying an expression of sudden realization, which somewhat relieved Caldwell, but he was not prepared for what Li Wei said next.

"As a Chieftain fan, it must be tough being in Jacksonville."

Caldwell: ...

Mahomes: Squeeze fist tightly. Suppressing laughter is really hard.

Veach was slightly slow to react, but a smile also crept onto his lips.

Behind him, Kelsey and others couldn't control themselves and were snickering softly.

In fact, within the League, this was nothing unusual—

Serving a team does not necessarily mean being a fan of that team, after all, this is a Professional League, everything is a business transaction, a collaboration, and one shouldn't expect to commit everything out of sheer passion.

But the point is, while that's the rational perspective, bursting the bubble is another matter altogether.

No team's management or fans want to hear that their team manager or quarterback's heart belongs somewhere else; it's not something to be taken lightly.

The veins on Caldwell's temple were throbbing painfully—

He was a team manager known for his strong style and control over the whole situation, not the type to joke around and blend in with the coaches and players.

Even though Caldwell knew that Li Wei was sharp-tongued and fearless in front of the media, being a spectator was one thing, becoming the target was another.

The smile was almost impossible to maintain, and his rage swiftly surged to the forefront, blazing fiercely.

It seemed that Li Wei was a thorn, hard to manage. So, should Caldwell continue to pursue Li Wei?

It appeared, perhaps, not a good idea.
