Old George didn't want to keep Claude at all.
Cheng Hao can understand his behavior. In the past, Old George must have encountered many people who came to his door and wanted to learn boxing from him, or hoped that he would be his manager. If there were more such people, he would not be rare, especially when Crowder saw Seems like an ordinary situation.
Claude looked like an adult, he was wearing dirty clothes, and he looked no different from those punks or homeless on the street all day long, and it was impossible for old George to treat him differently.
Especially, all of old George's thoughts are now on him.
But Claude...
Claude left very little information, but Cheng Hao heard someone mention him when he was watching some interviews with other boxers in this period, and he vaguely remembered that he was dug out of the slums by his boxing agent.
Cheng Hao didn't know the name of the boxing manager, but there was a high probability that it was Old George.
"I don't welcome you here, you go away!" Old George said again.
At this time, Cheng Hao suddenly said: "Old George, let him try."
Old George frowned and looked at Cheng Hao. Claude and Chester looked at Cheng Hao in surprise.
Cheng Hao said again: "Maybe he is very powerful."
Cheng Hao and Old George actually spend a lot of time together these days. However, it was probably because they had known each other not long ago, Old George was not close to him, and the two of them didn't talk much.
But Old George treated him very well, and invited him to breakfast and lunch every day. He could feel that Old George had a weird temper, but he was a nice person.
He didn't want old George and Claude to lose the chance to cooperate because of his appearance.
As for the possibility that Claude may be beaten and paralyzed in the future... Just stop Claude and prevent Claude from playing that game.
A good boxer is paralyzed... a real pity.
"I don't have time to waste on irrelevant people. If you are interested in him, try it yourself!" Old George turned around and went back to his house.
Chester stood there, a little uneasy, as for Claude, he was still kneeling on the ground, a little dazed.
Cheng Hao reached out to Claude and pulled him up: "Come in."
Cheng Hao took Claude, who was a little frightened, 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, instead he took him to a hanging, huge sandbag: "Try punching."
Claude stood in front of the sandbag, he took a deep breath, and punched the sandbag...
The huge sandbag flew out just like that, and then flew back, hitting him head-on.
Claude was hit by the sandbag, and fell to the ground on his back, his forehead was 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."
The sandbag that was hoisted was very, very heavy, about 200 kilograms. He usually used sandbags to practice boxing, but he couldn't throw the sandbags that far.
Seeing that Claude hit the sandbag so far with his unskilled punch, Cheng Hao knew why he became a dark horse and entered the world competition when he started to practice boxing after he was an adult.
Although Old George said he didn't care and let Cheng Hao deal with Claude's matter, he actually kept watching from the sidelines, and was shocked when he saw this scene.
Old George suddenly said: "Cheng Hao, you fight him."
Cheng Hao looked at Claude: "Come on, let's play a game."
With that said, Cheng Hao came to the ring first.
The arena is surrounded by ropes. As soon as Cheng Hao pulled the ropes, he got into the arena. His movements were very chic, but Claude was different. It took him a little effort to pull the ropes and climb onto the arena.
After coming to the ring, Claude still looked at Cheng Hao restrainedly: "I don't know how to punch..."
"Relax, hit whatever you want." Cheng Hao laughed.
Then Claude went straight to it...
"Shit!" Old George said dissatisfiedly, he was very upset that Claude did it before he shouted.
Cheng Hao was also caught off guard.
What made Cheng Hao most helpless was that when Claude played, he had no rules.
In his previous life, Cheng Hao had always strictly abided by various rules and regulations when boxing in his previous life. He was a little uncomfortable boxing in Old George's bar before.
Now playing with Claude is even more uncomfortable.
Claude doesn't even throw a punch, he headbutts, slaps, kicks...
Cheng Hao can only be thankful that he ran fast enough.
"Shit!" Old George cursed again.
Chester also helplessly covered his face - he didn't even know that his brother would be beaten like this...
Compared to Cheng Hao, his brother's performance was really terrible... Chester felt that his brother would definitely not be able to stay and fight.
Thinking of this, his expression became tangled.
Chester felt that his brother was playing in a mess and was completely inferior to Cheng Hao, but he didn't know that Cheng Hao was messed up by his brother's playing style.
Of course, the main reason why Cheng Hao was in a hurry was because Claude was too strong.
He has not experienced training, but his strength is a little stronger than those boxers who fought against Cheng Hao in the old George's bar!
Strength is Cheng Hao's shortcoming, but after facing Claude, his shortcoming became more obvious.
Thankfully, Crowder is shaky and inexperienced.
Cheng Hao stayed by the fence, and waited for Claude to rush towards him, he quickly stepped aside, and then Claude bumped into the fence... Cheng Hao took this opportunity and punched the last one on his side at the ribs.
Claude fell.
It doesn't matter if you fall down, after Claude was stunned for a while, he started to cry: "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, after he looked at Chester, he cried even more sadly.
Cheng Hao said: "He has great strength, he is naturally suitable for boxing."
Cheng Hao knew that seeing what happened just now, old George would definitely be moved.
As for why old George cursed...
If he saw a genius who was suitable for boxing, wasted time, let alone being old, he was still ugly, let alone being ugly, and still crying, his complexion would not be much better.
This is the second time Cheng Hao has spoken for Claude, and Claude looked at Cheng Hao gratefully: "You are such a good man!"
Old George also looked at Cheng Hao in surprise, and then looked at Claude: "You can stay and train with him."
Claude was overjoyed: "Okay!"
At this time, Chester asked, "Excuse me, can my brother punch in your bar?"
Old George said: "He doesn't even know what boxing is, and still wants to box?"
Hearing Old George's words, Chester's expression was a bit tangled, but after thinking about it, he said, "Then can he live with you?"
"Yes." Old George said.
Only then did Chester show a relieved expression.
On the contrary, Old George suddenly gave him a suspicious look, and then took out a notebook: "I need you to tell me your situation, and I will write it down."
Old George said so, and Chester said: "We have always lived here, but not long ago, our mother was killed..."
Hearing Chester's words, Cheng Hao was startled, and suddenly thought of what he had heard a few days ago, about the murder of a woman and her two children.
In poor communities, such things are not uncommon. On the day he crossed over, two groups of people fought to death. Later, another person broke into a house and robbed his head, and he went to Old George's bar to fight. The first opponent, also committed suicide after being broken by a gangster.
So after hearing about the case, Cheng Hao didn't think much about it, but he was determined to take Lin Yuxun and Danny out of here in the future.
As a result, now, he suddenly learned that the dead person turned out to be Chester's mother...
Cheng Hao learned more news from Chester.
The person who killed Chester's mother was his mother's lover. The two had a quarrel over something. Later, his mother's lover killed his mother and his two younger brothers and sisters in a fit of anger. , was also killed.
Now, that lover has been arrested, and the remaining seven brothers and sisters have their own arrangements.
The three older girls have already moved out to live with others. The eldest brother has a job as a restaurant waiter and lives in a motel, so there is no need to worry. The younger child is left, He was sent to a foster family, leaving only Chester and Claude in the end.
Claude didn't have a job, so Chester brought him to Old George, wanting him to learn boxing here.
"My brother can live here forever, don't worry, he will be very obedient." Chester said.
Old George said: "Yes, then let him live here for a while."
"Thank you!" Chester said, and ran away.
Seeing Chester leave, Cheng Hao had a faint 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, you know?"
"With an opponent, I can become stronger!" Cheng Hao said.
Old George said: "You are very good."
Cheng Hao smiled: "Can I have breakfast?" Old George's food here is very rich and high in calories, he really likes it!
"Go!" Old George said, and called Claude. Seeing this, Arabella immediately said, "There's one more person... I'll fry another bag of bacon!"
Arabella said, and took out a bag of 500 grams of bacon...
Cheng Hao and Claude swept away the sumptuous food prepared by Arabella.
Arabella was very satisfied with this, and kept praising Cheng Hao and Claude, but the corner of Old George's mouth twitched: "You two! You will make me poor!"
Cheng Hao said: "Don't worry, I will definitely help you make money in the future!" At the beginning, Old George said that he could give him all the money he earned in the future, 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 disturbed. He was very strong, but he had a pitiful expression on his face, which made people feel weird. Cheng Hao once again felt that something was wrong.
And what happened next, let Cheng Hao know the reason.
Claude didn't know anything, so George Sr. decided to teach him some boxing rules first, and it turned out...
"God! I've said it five times! Five times!"
"Are you listening carefully?"
"God, I've never met someone as stupid as you!"
…
Old George, who had always been good-natured, was cranky.
Cheng Hao suddenly remembered that in the records he had read, the black bear Claude had some mental problems...
