The match between Claude and Eustace caused quite a stir. It had been reported in magazines and newspapers for over a month, so much so that many people who didn't watch or understand boxing knew about it.
The TV stations undoubtedly noticed the popularity of the game, so local TV stations and specialized sports channels broadcast the game live.
At this moment, in addition to the people on the scene, many people all over the country are sitting in front of their TVs watching the game.
Li Minyi was one of those watching the live broadcast on TV.
He initially became interested in boxing because of Cheng Hao, but after watching Claude's boxing matches, he fell in love with Claude.
He has been a boss for a long time and does not need to punch in and out at work like ordinary working-class people. Today he simply stayed at home to watch the game and gave his son some homework to do.
Li Minyi's son was scratching his head over a pile of company reports, not knowing what to do. He secretly went to see his father and saw that his father was watching a live boxing match with chicken feet in one hand and beer in the other.
My father's life is so comfortable!
The young master of the Li family had recently become more interested in boxing because of his father's love of it. He knew about this match, and now, seeing his father watching, he immediately said, "Dad, I got some inside information. I heard that Claude has an intellectual disability and is completely controlled by his agent..."
"Don't believe everything others say!" Li Minyi looked at her son dissatisfiedly: "In my opinion, that Eustace is not a good person!"
After the news about Old George came out, Li Minyi contacted Cheng Hao and learned the truth from Cheng Hao. From then on, he lost his good impression of OC Company and Eustace.
"Dad, Eustace is a veteran boxing champion. He has never been involved in any scandals. He is a good person!" said the young master of the Li family.
"You can know a person's face but not his heart." Li Minyi said.
The young master of the Li family said, "Dad, I was just trying to tell you this! I don't think George is a good guy. Maybe Claude will do something during the game to break free from his control!"
While they were talking, the host was already introducing the boxers and inviting them to the ring.
Eustace went up to the ring early, but Claude was slow to come up. The camera captured the situation over there, but only saw Claude's team, who seemed to be arguing.
Claude was still breathing heavily, looking very nervous.
"Dad, did you see that? That Claude doesn't want to compete on stage!" The young master of the Li family was very excited: "He must be holding a grudge against his agent!"
"This is impossible, something else must have happened!" Li Minyi said.
The two men started arguing, and the TV commentator said, "Claude hasn't come on stage yet. I don't know what happened. Wait, they've made a move... Claude's boxing trainer has entered the ring. Everyone should be familiar with this boxing trainer. He's the former Golden Gloves champion who fought back against the gangsters even after being shot..."
When the commentator said this, Cheng Hao had already entered the ring and said directly: "Claude is not feeling well, I will fight in this match."
Li Minyi had already frowned when she saw Cheng Hao coming on stage. Now when she heard Cheng Hao speaking, she dropped the TV remote control in her hand in surprise.
Cheng Hao was injured last year, and he still wants to play in the game?!
On the other side, Lin Yuxun was also watching TV.
He was very busy. If it was Cheng Hao's game, he would definitely go to watch it, but since it was Claude's game, he didn't go.
Finally, he turned on all the computers and TVs at home, and while working, he would glance at the TV from time to time - when the camera scanned Claude, he could always see Cheng Hao.
The host of this match invited Claude to come on stage. When Claude was hesitant to move, Lin Yuxun stopped working and focused all his attention on the TV. Then, he saw Cheng Hao walk onto the stage and said that he would fight in this match.
Lin Yuxun stood up suddenly and knocked over the chair he was sitting on, but he didn't care. He picked up the phone and called Arabella, asking her to pick up Danny. Then he grabbed his wallet and rushed downstairs, got in the car and drove to the city where the game was held.
The city where the game was held was not particularly far from the city where they lived, and it only took a few hours to drive there.
Lin Yuxun didn’t know what would happen next, but he didn’t have the patience to wait in front of the TV!
Cheng Hao's shoulder was injured, how could he go to the competition? !
What if Cheng Hao gets injured?
Sitting in the car, Lin Yuxun, who couldn't see the live broadcast, prayed in his heart over and over again, begging Cheng Hao not to really compete.
Li Minyi and Lin Yuxun reacted strongly, as did the other viewers in front of the TV: "What's going on? I want to watch Claude's match. Why is Claude not on stage, and why is it this yellow guy who's on stage instead?"
"If Claude doesn't go on stage at this time, is he really under control?"
"What the hell is this game? Where's Claude?"
"Didn't Cheng get shot in the shoulder? Can he still compete?"
"This is a fraud! What I want to see is a fight between two boxing champions!"
…
The people in front of the TV could curse, but there was nothing they could do. They could only sit in front of the TV and continue watching. But the audience at the scene was in an uproar at this time.
Galton, a wealthy and free man who particularly supported Claude, watched the game live.
Before Claude came on the court, he heard people around him talking about Old George, and he got very angry. He could only tell a few people who were on good terms with him that there was absolutely no problem with Old George.
As a result, those people were persuaded by him, and suddenly Claude was reluctant to go on stage, and then Cheng Hao went on stage again.
Now, the audience around was in chaos.
"Damn it, what the hell is going on?"
"We bought tickets to see two boxing champions fight! Are you trying to fool us?"
"What about Claude? Is he being controlled, or is he scared?"
"Let Claude play!"
…
The audience was furious, some people insulted Cheng Hao and Claude, and some even threw the bottles and cans in their hands towards the ring.
Galton was not angry, but he was very worried at the moment.
Cheng Hao is actually going to the competition... Given his current physical condition, what will happen if he is knocked down and injured by Eustace?
Below the ring, Mr. Carter was also very anxious: "What is Cheng doing? He's so seriously injured, how can he still compete? If he does this, he will make himself notorious!"
"Cheng will win, huh." Claude has great trust in Cheng Hao.
Old George looked at Cheng Hao with a complicated expression. After a while, he turned his head and looked at Mr. Carter: "Trust Cheng, he can handle it."
"Although Eustace has rarely played in the past two years, he is still very strong and has never stopped training..." Mr. Carter frowned.
"Cheng is also very strong." said Old George.
Mr. Carter looked at Old George speechlessly. He knew Cheng Hao was very strong, but Cheng Hao was injured last year! He was shot twice!
The entire stadium was in chaos. Cheng Hao suddenly grabbed the referee's loudspeaker and said, "To all the spectators and media who came to watch the game, please listen to me for a few words."
The people who came to watch the game had all arrived. Even though a small accident had happened at this time, they would not leave. Now that Cheng Hao was speaking with a loudspeaker, they looked at Cheng Hao, waiting for him to speak.
Only Eustace frowned, but soon his brows relaxed again.
He spent a lot of effort to create the current situation.
After Claude became the boxing champion, he immediately sent people to investigate Claude, hoping to find some evidence against Claude. However, he did not find any evidence against Claude, but he did find Claude's family. Then, he learned some things about Claude from Claude's brothers and sisters.
Claude has an intellectual disability, which means he is unable to stand up and speak for Old George.
In addition, he also learned that Claude was allergic to a kind of pollen, and would feel uncomfortable and breathless when he smelled it.
This was discovered by Claude's mother when he was still young. Since Claude's condition was not serious and he would recover after a few days of rest every time he had an allergy, no one took it seriously.
Later, they moved from the south to the north, and when they lived in a place where there were no such flowers, Claude never encountered such a thing again, so much so that their mother never mentioned it, and maybe even Claude himself didn't know about it.
Claude's sisters and brothers didn't know why the people from OC Company were looking for them. They just knew that there was money to be made, so they told them everything about Claude.
After learning these things, Eustace deliberately brought about the current situation.
If an athlete can't even breathe smoothly, he will definitely not be able to compete well. If he beats Claude, then not only will he become famous, but he will also be able to say whatever he wants.
Even if Claude didn't have a seizure... Claude was a fool, and if he deliberately guided him, he could make Claude say something that was unfavorable to Old George.
For example, he asked Claude whether Old George had beaten him... Old George was very strict with boxers, and he didn't believe that Old George had never hit Claude!
As a result, the one who stepped onto the stage was Cheng Hao.
"Cheng, your injury hasn't healed yet, I won't compete with you." Eustace said.
But Cheng Hao ignored him and instead shouted loudly with a loud speaker: "Everyone, Claude is sick and needs to go to the hospital, so he can't participate in the competition. Now this game must be cancelled or I will come! I believe that compared to making a wasted trip, you still want me to come."
There was a chorus of boos from the audience.
Cheng Hao didn't care and said with a smile, "I think many people know me. I'm also George's contracted boxer and a former Golden Gloves champion. I believe I can beat Eustace. You will definitely see an exciting match!"
The booing from the audience got louder.
"It's very exciting to see a boxer who has never participated in a professional boxing match defeat the boxing champion, isn't it?" Cheng Hao first said to the audience, then looked at Eustace: "Eustace, do you dare to accept the challenge?"
Eustace's face changed, and the audience below the stage all started shouting.
"What a big tone!"
"Eustace! Defeat him!"
"Knock down this arrogant yellow man!"
"Damn it, this is fraud, I want a refund! All right! Eustace, beat him!"
…
Cheng Hao ignored those who were shouting.
He wasn't sure he could win, but he felt that he should be able to show his strength in this game.
By then, he will be able to explain for old George, which may be better than asking Claude to do it.
"Eustace, do you dare to fight me?" Cheng Hao asked again.
Eustace said, "I don't want to bully you, but if you want to fight, go ahead!"
