Chapter 47 - Iron Stride

Episode 46: Blaine Returns

It was supposed to be a normal morning.

But when Jaden stepped into the training yard, the air shifted.

The tension wasn't just heavier—it was dangerous.

Players gathered near the south entrance as a new group stepped onto the pitch—returnees. Players who had been previously cut…

And at the front of them—Blaine Mercer.

Leo muttered, "No way. That guy was done."

Jaden didn't speak. He just stared.

Blaine was supposed to be out for good. He had tried to sabotage Jaden more than once. He wasn't a footballer—he was a weapon.

And now? He was back.

Coach Vance stood in front of the group, unreadable. "Some players have been reinstated. The system has changed."

Jaden's jaw clenched. This wasn't about fairness. This was about control.

And Blaine?

He wasn't just back to compete. He was back for revenge.
