Claude completely ignored the interviewers. Eustace, however, did accept the interview and said something half-truthful: "I worked with George before, and he disappointed me."
"I think Claude should have a better choice."
"Claude is a very good boxer. I'm not sure I can win this fight, but I will try my best."
…
Eustace didn't mention the matter of Old George explicitly, but his words and deeds hinted that there was something wrong with Old George.
This made some of the audience very angry, and some even threw empty Coke bottles at George Sr.
Fortunately, the bouncer stopped the bottle.
Old George was so angry that his face turned blue: "How dare he..."
Old George was really angry and felt very aggrieved at this moment.
When he was training Cheng Hao and Claude, he didn't dare to invest too much emotional energy because of Eustace who had appeared before. In fact, he was not very dedicated to Cheng Hao and Claude.
But he had raised Eustace differently.
Before training Eustace, he was a boxer. After finding that he could not go further in boxing, he chose to retire and become a boxing agent.
He made a lot of money as a boxer and made some investments. He had quite a bit of money at the time, so he wanted to train some powerful black boxers to help his compatriots change their lives. The status of blacks at that time was lower than it is now, and black boxers were not popular.
He found many children from the slums and taught them with all his heart. He later sent those children without talent to school, but Eustace was very talented, so he kept him.
He lived with Eustace, taught him hand-in-hand, and spent more time with Eustace than with his wife and daughter.
He actually treated Eustace as his son.
He was indeed very strict with Eustace, but if a boxer wants to become famous, he needs to train hard. Without his supervision and training at that time, how could Eustace become a boxing champion?
Later, after Eustace became famous, he did make some money, but it was really not much. To be honest, if he had not chosen to train Eustace for so many years, but instead became an agent for other boxers, he would definitely have earned much more than training Eustace.
However, Eustace betrayed him after he became successful. Not only did he betray him, he also sent him to prison!
At that time, he knew a lot of people and had a lot of connections. Eustace was probably worried that he would cause trouble after the contract was terminated, so he framed him and put him in jail!
Being treated like this by the people he respected, he was once very desperate and had no interest in anything. That's why after he was released from prison, he chose to open a bar in the slums.
It was not until he met Cheng Hao that he felt that life had hope again.
As a result, Cheng Hao was shot just as he was making his mark!
It was OC Company that did this, and he was well aware of this, which made him even more disgusted with OC Company and hated Eustace even more.
Now, seeing Eustace talking to the media not far away, old George felt like vomiting.
How could this person be so horrible? He had done so many disgusting things, yet now he was pretending to be a victim and slandering him as if nothing had happened.
Old George took a few deep breaths, but still couldn't calm himself down.
Claude had always been very mischievous. He realized that Old George was in a bad mood. He even said to him cautiously, "Old George, don't worry. I will definitely help you defeat Eustace!"
"Thank you." Old George touched Claude's head.
After Cheng Hao and his team arrived at the competition venue, many spectators came one after another.
Most of these audiences are Eustace's fans.
Although Claude has attracted a lot of attention, his appearance has been too short, so although many people pay attention to him, relatively few are willing to spend money on him.
And these audiences now have no good impression of old George.
"That damned agent treated Eustace so badly back then, and now he's trying to harm Claude!"
"Will his true identity be exposed later?"
"Why don't you kick him out? I don't want to see him!"
"That Cheng is hanging out with him all day. Is he controlling Claude with him?"
…
They were so angry that some people who thought there might be something else behind the incident did not dare to speak out their inner thoughts.
This competition was organized by ZYF Company. Because it would be reported and broadcast by TV stations and media, they found a wealthy sponsor, sold a lot of tickets, and made a lot of money.
However, if Claude cannot win and the matter of Old George cannot be clarified, then they will probably have to throw back all the money they earned.
Mr. Carter attached great importance to this game and came to visit Claude.
Time passed by minute by minute, everyone was present and the competition was about to begin.
It was at this moment that Cheng Hao suddenly noticed that there was something wrong with Claude's expression. He kept gasping for breath and looked very nervous.
However, Claude is not someone who gets nervous at all.
Cheng Hao and Claude have been together for more than three years and know Claude very well. Now Claude is like this...
"Claude, what's wrong with you?" Cheng Hao asked worriedly.
Claude frowned, "Cheng, I feel a little breathless and uncomfortable."
"How could this happen?" Cheng Hao was stunned.
"I don't know either." Claude said a little aggrievedly, and then he opened his mouth and started breathing.
"Claude, you can't lose your temper at a time like this." Old George frowned. In the past, Claude would occasionally pretend to have a stomachache to avoid training. Now that he suddenly said he was not feeling well, Old George suspected that he was losing his temper.
"I feel really uncomfortable and my chest feels stuffy." Claude said dissatisfiedly.
When Claude pretended to have a stomachache before, his expression was very exaggerated and looked very fake, which could not fool Old George and Cheng Hao at all. But now, Claude looked like he really couldn't breathe.
He wasn't pretending to be sick; he was truly ill.
Cheng Hao and Old George looked at each other and realized the seriousness of the matter.
The game is about to start, but Claude suddenly falls ill... Can he still play?
Boxing is a very dangerous sport. If you go boxing when you are not in good shape or are sick, you will never win and will only lose.
Claude is in this state now... He might be knocked down by Eustace, or even injured!
Cheng Hao immediately called the doctor hired by ZYF Company.
However, without the ability to do a blood test or the necessary examination equipment, the doctor was unable to make a correct diagnosis and even thought that Claude's chest tightness and discomfort were caused by psychological problems.
Cheng Hao didn't believe this diagnosis, so the doctor could only suggest that they go to the hospital.
But the game is about to begin!
The host had begun introducing Eustace and Claude, and the live broadcast had begun.
"Claude, it's almost your turn, get ready to go on stage!" Mr. Carter ran over.
"Claude is not feeling well, he can't go to the game." Cheng Hao said.
"Feeling unwell? What's going on?" Mr. Carter was stunned.
They collected a lot of evidence and wanted to clarify the matter of old George after winning, and then promote Claude, but now... Claude can't play?
If the competition is terminated at this time, ZYF company will not only have to pay a huge sum of money to the sponsors and spectators, but will probably be scolded to death in the future!
Under such circumstances, the matter of old George could not be clarified.
"What's going on? Wasn't it fine before?" Mr. Carter was anxious and spoke in a bad tone.
Cheng Hao could understand him. Mr. Carter had invested a lot of money in him and Claude, but they kept losing money...
He felt a little sorry for Mr. Carter.
"We don't know either." Cheng Hao and Old George frowned.
"What do we do now?" Carter was furious.
"I can go to the competition. Actually, I just feel a little stuffy and can't breathe. Everything else is fine." Claude said. He always liked to make trouble, but now he is behaved.
But when Cheng Hao saw him frowning, he suddenly remembered something.
In his previous life, he had watched the video of the game in which Claude was paralyzed by Andy.
Something was wrong with Claude at that time.
During that game, Claude kept gasping with his mouth wide open.
Boxing is a very physically demanding sport, and it's quite common for boxers to gasp for air with their mouths wide open due to the sheer volume of exercise during a match, so he didn't think much of it at the time, but now seeing Claude's expression...
Was Claude actually feeling uncomfortable at that time? Was he also feeling short of breath?
In the previous life, in the match between Claude and Andy, everyone thought Claude would win, but in the end Claude lost... Did he lose because of a physical problem?
And now, he has the same problem with his body.
"Huh, I can do it. I just need to knock him down quickly." Claude said.
"He doesn't look to be in any serious condition..." Mr. Carter also said that apart from his constant gasping for breath, Claude didn't seem to have any major problems.
"How can a boxer compete if he can't breathe?" Old George said gritting his teeth.
"Maybe he's just nervous. We've always paid attention to his diet and other things! He'll be fine. He's going to compete!" Mr. Carter said loudly. After all, if something went wrong in this competition, his company might have to close down.
"Maybe he is allergic." Cheng Hao suddenly thought of a possibility.
Claude has always been in good health. Not only have they checked everything he eats, but everyone also eats the same food, so there is absolutely no problem. He is now showing symptoms like this... maybe he is allergic?
"Allergies?" Old George was a little puzzled. At that time, many people did not understand the problem of allergies.
Cheng Hao said, "Some people feel uncomfortable after eating certain foods or even smelling certain smells."
While they were talking, the host of this match started calling out to Claude: "Next, please welcome Claude!"
Claude had been taught by Cheng Hao and Old George for a long time, and he would not act capriciously in such an occasion. Now, when he heard his name, he stood up and was about to leave: "I'm going to the game..."
Old George wanted to stop him, but he didn't. Mr. Carter even urged him: "Go quickly."
"No!" Cheng Hao stopped Claude: "He can't go! I'll go to this game."
