"It's time for a change!"
After the Clippers' game against the New York Knicks, the Knicks' management clarified their plan for the season.
Previously, the Knicks' determination to tank had not been firm enough. But after witnessing Kai Chen's performance, owner Dolan finally made his decision.
They had to become the worst team in the league, secure the first overall pick, draft the super rookie of 2019, and build the team around him.
This was the path to the team's revival.
"Boss, should we look for a player like Kai Chen to be our cornerstone?"
A Knicks scout suggested to Dolan, "At Duke University, there are three exceptionally talented prospects this year, all with tremendous potential."
"Zion Williamson, RJ Barrett, and Reddish!"
Kai Chen's rapid rise pushed more front offices to focus on the draft.
Duke University, boasting three five-star recruits, had become the most talked-about team in the NCAA this season.
All three players were projected lottery picks.
Zion Williamson, especially, was considered the undisputed first overall selection of the 2019 draft.
Some fans even claimed Zion would be the next LeBron James.
"Zion Williamson?"
When Dolan heard the name, his eyes lit up with excitement.
"Perhaps he will be the new king who leads the Knicks back to glory!"
"Boss, Zion is outstanding, but we have an even more important task next offseason."
The team's general manager, who had been relatively quiet, handed Dolan a document.
"Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant will both become fully unrestricted free agents."
"According to rumors, Kyrie isn't very happy in Boston, and he has already begun contacting Durant to discuss the possibility of teaming up."
"Moreover, we have enough cap space to sign both players simultaneously."
"If we tank this season and successfully secure the first overall pick, we could form a super combination of Kyrie Irving + Durant + Zion next year!"
After reading the document, Dolan took a sharp breath.
"Proceed with the plan. But first, make sure we secure Zion."
On the other side,
Kai Chen returned to Los Angeles with two consecutive road wins and opened his phone to check the standings.
After defeating the Knicks, the Clippers had extended their winning streak to six games.
They had also become the second undefeated team so far this season.
Who was the other team?
Of course — the Golden State Warriors with their five superstars.
So far this season, fans had focused on only a handful of teams.
The Warriors, the Lakers with LeBron James, the quietly rising Clippers, and the Phoenix Suns with their new OK combination.
The Warriors, Lakers, and Clippers represented the present and future of the league.
The Suns, meanwhile, represented the league's biggest joke.
And that joke might last for years — perhaps even more than a decade.
After Sunday's training session, the Clippers were given a short break.
Carmelo Anthony and Jeff Green, as the team's newest additions and veterans, hosted a grand party for the entire team.
After dinner, Grayson Allen invited Kai Chen to a nightclub.
Kai refused without hesitation.
With a world-class supermodel waiting at home, why would he waste time at a nightclub?
That would be pure foolishness.
Beverly Hills
The moment Kai Chen stepped inside, he saw a woman dressed in a black, tight-fitting outfit.
Delicate features. Platinum earrings. A diamond necklace resting at her neckline.
Everything about her radiated wealth.
"Kendall… I'm home—"
Before Kai Chen could finish, Kendall interrupted him.
"Kai, this is my younger sister. Her name is Kylie!"
Kai Chen walked into the living room and saw Kylie's bare back.
Goodness, the older sister left, and the younger sister arrived. Is this how you play?
His gaze drifted downward.
Comparing her figure to Kendall's, Kylie's "headlights" were undeniably larger.
Just as Kai was lost in thought, Kylie looked up.
Their eyes met.
Instantly, she covered her neckline and frowned.
Kylie disliked men looking at her that way, at least so blatantly.
Kai quickly averted his gaze.
After all, she was Kendall's sister.
Kendall shot him a warning glance before turning to Kylie.
"You said you came to see me about something today. What is it?"
"Cough, cough!"
Kylie pretended to cough twice.
The meaning was obvious.
She didn't want Kai listening.
Kai understood and quietly returned to the bedroom.
The moment he left, Kylie's eyes turned red.
"Sister… what should I do?"
Kendall immediately comforted her.
"Kylie, don't cry. Tell me what's wrong."
Kylie explained her desire to start a business, wiping away her tears.
"My family doesn't agree with me starting a business. They just want me to be obedient, and marry some rich guy!"
Listening from behind the door, Kai frowned.
In his previous life, Kylie Jenner had become the wealthiest woman in the Kardashian family within just two years.
A billionaire before twenty-five.
And now her family wouldn't let her start a business?
That was simply ridiculous.
"No matter what happens, I'll support you."
"If you need money, tell me. I can sponsor you."
Kendall embraced Kylie.
The two talked for a long time before Kylie finally calmed down.
However, she decided to stay for the night.
During dinner, Kylie still treated Kai coldly.
Kai ignored her as well.
The two fell into an unspoken standoff.
After dinner, Kendall left for work, leaving only Kai and Kylie at home.
They sat on the sofa, Kai glanced at Kylie's from the corner of his eye.
She was undeniably beautiful.
Her figure was stunning, especially when she crossed her legs and revealed flashes of smooth thigh.
Unbeknownst to him, Kylie noticed everything.
She tugged her skirt down and snapped,
"What the hell are you looking at?"
"What's the problem?"
Kai Chen laughed.
"It's just the two of us."
"If I'm not looking at you, where else should my eyes go?"
Kylie crossed her arms.
"Anyway, you're not allowed to look!"
Her annoyed expression made her chest rise and fall dramatically.
Those headlights looked ready to burst free.
Kylie stepped forward with a pillow, intending to hit Kai.
But her high heels betrayed her balance.
Kai Chen instinctively reached out to steady her, and his hands landed perfectly on those large "headlights", while Kylie's hand pressed against Kai Chen's inner thigh.
The next moment!!!
Both of them were stunned!!!!!
