Chapter 728 Scandal
Takeda frowned at the prospect of the transfer.
'I know you are talented. But what if you can't earn a spot in the limited time?' He couldn't help but worry. He didn't want Shun to experience the hardship again.
Frowning, he rolled his eyes toward Shun.
He still wanted to persuade him. However, looking at those determined eyes, he hesitated.

As the days passed, Hiro's feat kept piling up. In almost every match, he made an impact, leading to the rise in his popularity across Europe.
Even though he had only joined the club in the winter transfer, Hiro's name was already linked to most of the prestigious individual accolades.
Every time the Golden Boy was mentioned, his name would be heard.
Throughout Europe, he had become one of the most sought-after individuals.
During this time, Hiro got his driving license.
With his growing fame, the offers he received for advertisement and brand endorsements also piled up. Yet still, he avoided most of those offers.
Right now, he only wanted to focus on the titles.
He had made it clear that he wouldn't indulge himself with things outside football until the end of the season. Hence, despite receiving multiple interview offers, he avoided them.
Due to the lack of public appearances, the air of mystery around Hiro was growing even further. This pushed the people, especially the media personnel, to the extreme.
To capture a single footage of Hiro, they would line up before his residency for days and nights.
Hiro, however, kept avoiding them despite their persistence. Explore more stories with My Virtual Library Empire
Hiro would only appear before the camera in the club's exclusive footage. Due to this, the club had experienced a significant growth in their social media accounts.
Be it the followers on Instagram or the subscribers on YouTube. Almost all of the club's social media platforms were experiencing a surge of traffic.
On the other hand, Hiro's manager was getting frustrated.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
Hiro heard his phone buzzing.
To prepare for their upcoming Spanish Cup finals, Hiro was in the middle of a video analysis session. However, the buzz of the phone distracted him.
He reached out for his phone.
"What... What is this?" He exclaimed in shock.
Someone had leaked his photo with Ishikawa. The picture of them hugging had been leaked worldwide.
For a brief moment, he panicked. Then, an intense emotion of rage swelled inside his heart. His blood boiled, and his complexion turned dark.
His emotions went into turmoil as a storm raged inside him.
Hiro felt extremely infuriated.
The first thought that popped into his head was concern for Ishikawa. He couldn't help but feel worried about her. With such a revelation, her life wouldn't remain normal any further.
The thought of reporters bothering her because of him infuriated him.
He didn't care about his image. He couldn't care less about it. Having antagonized the press, he already had a pretty nasty reputation.
But he feared the public acceptance.
"Who... Who did this?" Hiro gnashed his teeth, his fingers bent into a knuckle.
"We don't know. But we won't be able to delete it now. It has already spread over the internet. For now, calm down," Ayumi explained.
The picture had spread like wildfire, engulfing the internet.
If it was before, people wouldn't have made an issue out of it.
However, right now wasn't a very good time. People were interested in everything he did. The limited public appearances had further sparked their curiosity.
He didn't do anything bad, either.
However, the public likes to run their imagination wild. The general public craves scandal, and the reporters whom he had antagonized due to his feisty personality would love to exaggerate the situation.
It didn't take long for him to gauze the severity of the situation.
He was infuriated. However, he knew that anger wouldn't solve anything. The things that have been done, he didn't have any control over it.
Hiro knew he had to focus on the solution rather than the problem.
"I need to call her," he said.
"There's no need. We've already notified her."
"Is she fine?" Hiro asked meekly.
"Don't worry. She's fine. But we need to do something about this mess."
