Old George didn't want to keep Claude at all.

Cheng Hao could understand his behavior. Old George had undoubtedly encountered many people who came to him wanting to learn boxing or become their manager. With so many people like him, he no longer cared much about them, especially since Claude looked so ordinary.

Claude looked like an adult. He was wearing dirty clothes and looked no different from the hooligans or homeless people who spent their days hanging out on the streets. Old George would not treat him differently.

Especially now, all of Old George's thoughts are on him.

But Claude...

There is very little information left about Claude, but Cheng Hao heard people mention him when he was watching interviews with other boxers of the same period, and vaguely remembered that he was dug out of the slums by his boxing agent.

Cheng Hao didn't know the name of the boxing agent, but there was a high probability that the man was Old George.

"You are not welcome here, please leave!" Old George said again.

At this time, Cheng Hao suddenly said, "Old George, why not let him try?"

Old George frowned and looked at Cheng Hao. Claude and Chester looked at Cheng Hao in surprise.

Cheng Hao added: "Maybe he is very powerful."

Cheng Hao and Old George had actually been spending quite a bit of time together lately. However, perhaps because they had only known each other for a short time, Old George wasn't close to him, and the two of them didn't talk much.

But Old George was very nice to him and invited him to breakfast and lunch every day. He could feel that although Old George had a bit of a weird temper, he was a good person.

He didn't want Old George and Claude to lose the opportunity to cooperate because of his appearance.

As for the possibility that Claude might be paralyzed in the future...all we have to do is stop Claude and prevent him from playing in that game.

It's such a pity that such an excellent boxer is paralyzed.

"I don't have time to waste on irrelevant people. If you are interested in him, go and try it yourself!" Old George turned around and went back to his house.

Chester stood there, feeling a little uneasy. As for Claude, he was still kneeling on the ground, looking a little dazed.

Cheng Hao reached out his hand to Claude and pulled him up: "Come in."

Cheng Hao took the somewhat frightened Claude into Old George's house.

There was a boxing ring in the middle of Old George's house. As soon as Claude came in, his eyes were attracted by the ring and his eyes were full of light.

But Cheng Hao didn't take him up there. Instead, he took him to a huge hanging sandbag and said, "Try punching it."

Claude stood in front of the sandbag. He took a deep breath and punched it...

The huge sandbag was hit by him and flew out, then flew back and hit him in the face.

Claude was hit by the sandbag and fell on the ground face up with his forehead red.

Cheng Hao: “…”

Cheng Hao turned his head and looked at Old George who was not far away: "Old George, his strength... is really great."

This hanging sandbag is very, very heavy, about two hundred kilograms. He usually uses sandbags for boxing practice, but there is no way he can throw the sandbag that far.

Seeing Claude's unskilled punch that sent the sandbag so far, Cheng Hao finally understood why he could become a dark horse and make it to the world competition even though he only started practicing boxing after he became an adult.

Although Old George said he didn't care and let Cheng Hao handle Claude's matter, he was actually watching from the side. Seeing this scene, he was also shocked.

Old George suddenly said, "Cheng Hao, fight him."

Cheng Hao looked at Claude and said, "Come on, let's have a fight."

As he spoke, Cheng Hao came to the ring first.

The ring was surrounded by ropes. Cheng Hao pulled the ropes and got into the ring with a very cool movement. However, it was different for Claude. It took him some effort to pull the ropes open and climb onto the ring.

After arriving at the ring, Claude looked at Cheng Hao awkwardly: "I don't know how to box..."

"Relax and fight casually." Cheng Hao said with a smile.

Then Claude took action directly...

"Shit!" Old George said dissatisfiedly. Claude started before he even shouted "start", which made him very unhappy.

Cheng Hao was also caught off guard.

What made Cheng Hao most frustrated was that Claude had no plan when he played.

When Cheng Hao was a boxer in his previous life, he always strictly abided by various rules and regulations. When he was boxing in Old George's bar before, he was a little uncomfortable at first.

Now playing against Claude, I feel even more uncomfortable.

Claude doesn't throw punches, he uses headbutts, slaps, and kicks...

Cheng Hao could only be thankful that he ran fast enough.

"Shit!" Old George started cursing again.

Chester also covered his face helplessly - he had no idea that his brother would be beaten like this...

Compared to Cheng Hao, his brother's performance was really terrible... Chester felt that his brother definitely couldn't stay to fight.

Thinking of this, his expression became conflicted.

Chester felt that his brother's fighting style was messy and he was no match for Cheng Hao, but he didn't know that Cheng Hao was confused by his brother's fighting style.

Of course, the main reason why Cheng Hao was in such a mess was because Claude was too strong.

He had no training, but his strength was even greater than those boxers who fought against Cheng Hao in Old George's bar!

Strength has always been Cheng Hao's weakness, and after facing Claude, his weakness became even more obvious.

Fortunately, Claude's lower body was unstable and he had no experience.

Cheng Hao stayed by the fence and waited for Claude to rush towards him. He quickly moved out of the way, and then Claude crashed into the fence... Cheng Hao took this opportunity and punched him in the last rib on his side.

Claude fell.

Falling would have been fine, but after a moment of hesitation, Claude actually started crying: "Let me try again, I will fight hard..."

"Shit!" Old George cursed for the third time, with an indescribable expression on his face.

Seeing old George's expression, Chester's face became even uglier. As for Claude, he looked at Chester and cried even more sadly.

Cheng Hao said: "He is very strong and he is born to be a boxer."

Cheng Hao knew that after seeing what had just happened, Old George would definitely be moved.

As for why Old George cursed...

If he saw a talented boxer who had wasted his time and grown old, not only would he be ugly, but he would also be crying and his face wouldn't look any better.

This was the second time Cheng Hao spoke up for Claude. Claude looked at Cheng Hao gratefully: "You are such a good person!"

Old George also looked at Cheng Hao in surprise, then looked at Claude: "You can stay and train with him."

Claude was delighted: "Okay!"

At this time, Chester asked: "Excuse me, can my brother fight in your bar?"

Old George said, "He doesn't even know what boxing is, and he still wants to do it?"

Hearing what Old George said, Chester's expression was a little tangled, but after thinking about it, he said, "Then can he live with you?"

"Okay." said Old George.

Only then did Chester show a relieved expression.

Old George, however, suddenly gave him a suspicious look, then took out a notebook and said, "I need you to tell me your situation, and I will write it down."

Old George said this, and Chester began to speak: "We have always lived here, but not long ago, our mother was murdered..."

Hearing Chester's words, Cheng Hao was shocked and suddenly thought of what he had heard a few days ago, about a woman and her two children being murdered.

Such things are not uncommon in slum communities. On the day he traveled through time, two gangs fought and someone died. Later, another man broke into a house and was beheaded by the homeowner. This man was his first opponent in a boxing match at Old George's bar. He also committed suicide after his leg was broken by the gang.

So after hearing about the case, Cheng Hao didn't think much about it, but he was determined to take Lin Yuxun and Danny away from here in the future.

As a result, he suddenly learned that the dead person was actually Chester's mother...

Cheng Hao learned more information from Chester.

The person who killed Chester's mother was his mother's lover. The two had a quarrel over something, and then his mother's lover killed his mother in a rage. His two younger brothers and sisters were also killed.

Now, the lover has been arrested, and the remaining seven brothers and sisters have made their own arrangements.

The three older girls had already moved out and lived with other people. The eldest brother had a job as a waitress in a restaurant and lived in a motel, so there was no need to worry. The younger child was sent to a foster family, and in the end, only Chester and Claude were left.

Claude had no job, so Chester brought him to see Old George, wanting him to learn boxing here.

"My brother can live here from now on. Don't worry, he will be very obedient." Chester said.

Old George said, "Okay, then let him stay here for a while."

"Thank you!" Chester said, and ran away.

Seeing Chester leave, Cheng Hao had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

Old George didn't think much about it, but said to Cheng Hao: "If you let me take him in, you will have one more competitor, do you know?"

"Only with an opponent can I become stronger!" said Cheng Hao.

Old George said, "You are very good."

Cheng Hao smiled and said, "Can we have breakfast now?" The food at Old George's place is particularly rich and high in calories. He really likes it!

"Go ahead!" Old George said, calling Claude along. Seeing this, Arabella immediately said, "One more person... I'll go fry another bag of bacon!"

Arabella said, taking out a 500-gram bag of bacon...

Cheng Hao and Claude ate up all the sumptuous food prepared by Arabella.

Arabella was very pleased with this and kept praising Cheng Hao and Claude. But Old George's mouth twitched: "You two! You're going to bankrupt me!"

Cheng Hao said, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you make money in the future!" Old George said at the beginning that all the money earned in the future could be given to him, but he did not agree. Later, when they talked in detail, the two finally decided to split it 50-50.

Cheng Hao answered Old George very generously, but Claude was very uneasy. He was very strong, but he had a pitiful expression on his face, which made people feel weird. Cheng Hao felt something was wrong again.

And everything that happened next made Cheng Hao understand the reason.

Claude knew nothing, so Old George decided to teach him some boxing rules first, and the result...

"God! I've said it five times! Five times!"

"Did you listen carefully?"

"My God, I've never met anyone as stupid as you!"

…

Old George, who had always been in a good mood, became angry.

Cheng Hao suddenly remembered that in the records he had read, Black Bear Claude had some intellectual problems...
