Chapter 705 You are here to challenge
In fact, the video that "Lightning Five Whips" filmed back then was obviously fake. Most people would not believe it was real, but there was still a small number of people who believed he was faking it.
That 'small minority' of believers may be larger than the population of a small country!
And those who believe in it are the source of wealth for people like 'Lightning Five Whips'...
People in this world have different perceptions. Why should we study? It is to be wiser and less deceived, so that others won't laugh and scold you while thinking it is a compliment.
Many people in China believe that the West is the most scientific and advanced in everything. Xiao Peng discovered during his years abroad that this isn't the case. Anti-intellectualism here is far more outrageous than in China! A street hustler arrived in England, became a master with numerous disciples, and then returned to China to deceive the Chinese public. The story of the "Lightning Five Whips" is truly legendary!
But foreigners are really easy to fool!
Xiao Peng has seen the 'Anti-Vaccine Parade' here.
What were the European and American countries busy with at the time? They were holding massive protests, claiming that vaccines were tools used by governments to control humanity. Roughly one-third of Americans believed the Earth was flat, and there was even a documentary called "200 Evidences: The Earth Is Not a Propaganda Ball," which is being used in educational materials. And Kenneth Copeland, the American pastor with "five billion superpowers," was judging the virus on television, and his followers cheered.
There are not too many scammers and not enough fools in this world, but there are too many fools and not enough scammers. The key is whether they can find ways to cheat people.
Just like a pyramid scheme, many victims actually know that it is a scam, but they think they are smarter than others and can escape in time. When they see that they cannot escape and find out that they have been deceived, they pretend to be pitiful and act like victims.
The video of "Lightning Five Whips" and Pete Irwin became his important means of defrauding people and making money. In the video, Master Ma tells how he used his "Hunyuan Xingyi Tai Chi" to defeat "European MMA Champion" Pete Irwin. In the video, Pete Irwin was no match for Master Ma.
In fact, although Pete Irving is a professional MMA player, he is not a "European MMA champion". He has a career record of 15 wins, 8 losses and 1 draw. When he filmed the video with Master Ma, he had retired for two years!
After Master Ma's reputation was ruined in China, the video was also released in the UK. Peter Owen looked aggrieved and said that he was hired by Master Ma's disciples to assist in the short film. He said that at the time, Master Ma's disciples told him that the performance was for publicity and he was not paid to do it.
Xiao Peng wasn't involved in the incident, so he couldn't make a definitive assessment. The only thing he could say for sure was: First, Pete Irving was forty years younger, significantly older than Ellie Stone...
Well, the fact that this is just gossip is not important. The second point is important: no matter what Pete Irving's purpose was in making this film, he did receive the money and became a publicity tool for Master Ma to cheat people out of money.
Xiao Peng never sympathized with those who were deceived. He himself didn't know how many times he had been deceived. As the old saying goes, "Every failure makes you wiser." All the deceptions he had suffered were due to his own lack of understanding of the world and his own greed.
But that doesn't mean he doesn't hate scammers. As a former "expert scammer," Xiao Peng hates them with a vengeance! Why does Xiao Peng find it so hard to trust others now? It's a painful and painful story: a young man just entering society, in a foreign country, unfamiliar with the surroundings, and without anyone to turn to, can his experience be smooth sailing? Xiao Peng has been deceived countless times!
These liars all deserve to die! Even if Peter Irving isn't a liar, he's an accomplice! So Xiao Peng naturally can't like him.
However, he didn't like Pete Irving, but he didn't expect that Pete Irving disliked Xiao Peng even more: as soon as Xiao Peng entered the fitness club, he was stopped by someone.
"Where are you from?" a strong man at the door asked Xiao Peng.
Xiao Peng frowned slightly: "Daxia people, what's your problem?"
"Can't you read?" the burly man pointed at a sign at the door and asked, "Don't you see what's written here?"
Xiao Peng was furious when he saw the words on the billboard: "This club does not welcome people from Daxia to enter"!
"What does this mean?" Xiao Peng said with a gloomy face.
The burly man lazily said, "Our boss here is Pete Irving. He was badly cheated by the Daxia people and became notorious, so he made this rule!"
Xiao Peng frowned after hearing this. Damn it, this club doesn't even know whether you opened it with the money from Lightning Five Whips, that's another matter, and now you're talking about this?
Seeing Xiao Peng unhappy, Ellie Stone hurriedly said: "Sir, I am Ellie Stone, Peter's girlfriend. This is my friend."
The burly man was stunned when he heard this. He looked Ellie up and down and suddenly laughed: "Pete's girlfriend? I've known Pete for 35 years, how come I've never heard that he has a girlfriend named Ellie Stone? Are you his girlfriend? His wife is in there right now!"
"What did you say?" Ellie Stone looked shocked.
"Alright, stop messing around!" The burly man waved his hand. "Let's go! Let me warn you, Pete's wife is also an MMA fighter. If she really wants to beat you up, don't count on these pretty boys around you to save you!"
"Pretty boy?" Xiao Peng and the others looked at each other, and then looked at Billy together.
Now Billy looks like a gigolo!
Pascal and Fabian were deeply influenced by Xiao Peng, especially after spending so much time at sea. So even when they weren't attending events, they dressed in whatever they wanted, down jackets and jeans. Only Billy still maintained his aristocratic demeanor, wearing a well-tailored suit.
Ellie Stone understood what was going on, but what could she do about this jerk? She wanted to go in and give him a good smackdown, but just like the burly guy had said, this was Peter Irving's home turf. Could she ask her new acquaintances, Xiao Peng and the others, to help her out? But what could she do? How many people were there in a fitness and fighting club? Xiao Peng and the other four didn't look like they were any match for them.
"Let's go!" Alice Stone said with gritted teeth, her face turning blue.
Just as he was about to leave, Xiao Peng stopped him.
"Xiao?" Ellie Stone asked puzzledly.
Xiao Peng smiled and asked the burly man, "Sir, I heard that Mr. Owen was a professional player, and your club is also training professional players. Do you need a sparring partner for warm-up practice?"
The strong man frowned after hearing this, and after thinking for a long time, he came to his senses: "Oh, so you want to challenge me!"
