"Are you having a party?" David asked.
"No, it's just a normal gathering," Chen Zhao said, chuckling. "We got too excited and forgot the time."
"I remember you've been in America for less than three months, right? You've already made so many friends. I grew up in Los Angeles, but I don't have many friends. "
"You're my friend now too," Chen Zhao said, chuckling.
David put his hand on Leonardo's shoulder. "Buddy, we're friends now too."
"Then … it's my birthday this weekend. Can you guys … come to my birthday party?" Leonardo asked shyly.
"Of course … Can we all come?"
"Yes, you're very welcome. I hope that all of you can come."
In fact, Leonardo had knocked on Chen Zhao's door just now to invite him to his birthday party.
However, he didn't expect Chen Zhao's family to have so many people.
Of course, he also didn't expect to make so many friends in one night.
Leon wasn't a loner, but he didn't know how to socialize.
Even in the police station, most people were just his colleagues, not his friends.
The number of friends he'd made in one night was probably equal to the number of friends he'd made in the first half of his life.
However, Leonardo couldn't stay for too long, because he was still working.
"Leonardo, can you give us a ride?" David asked. "We're leaving too."
"Of course, no problem," Leonardo readily agreed.
Sienna and Chris didn't stay either. They left with David.
After being busy for two days, Chen Zhao could finally have a good sleep.
…
The next day, Chen Zhao was woken up by Fali.
He hadn't slept enough, but he didn't have much time either.
It was already past eight. After washing up, he had to go to his boxing class.
Chen Zhao didn't have much time. He still had to check on Rufford's leg at noon.
After all, he'd invested in Rufford, so he had to make money from him.
When he went to the gym, he was still scared.
After all, he didn't dare to forget Gaia's threat.
Luckily, Gaia was only scaring him. He continued with his classes.
In these two hours, Chen Zhao had been hitting the sandbag for an hour.
"Chen, you're using the wrong strength. You can't use as much strength as you want. You're not practicing boxing, you're fighting." Gaia had been observing Chen Zhao from the side.
"Although fighting is also about physical fitness, the key lies in technique. You have to use the least amount of force to knock down your opponent. Therefore, the angle and force of your attack are all very particular. You might not be facing one enemy, but two, or even twenty. If you use your full strength on every enemy, you might not be able to last long."
Gaia stepped forward. "Currently, the mainstream fighting techniques in the world are kickboxing and military boxing, but I will teach you kickboxing."
"Why not military boxing?"
Gaia was wearing a fist now. He waved at Chen Zhao. "Let's fight."
"For real?"
"No, it's just a test."
"Then should I attack or you attack?"
"You attack."
Chen Zhao put on a boxing stance and protected his head. Then, he took small steps forward.
He punched. The moment Chen Zhao swung his arm, Gaia dodged. He turned around and smashed his elbow toward Chen Zhao's face.
"Don't hit my face …"
Gaia didn't plan to hurt Chen Zhao. His elbow stopped less than five centimeters from Chen Zhao's face.
"Military boxing is used to kill. Are you planning to kill someone?" Gaia asked.
"Uh …"
"Without the awareness to kill, military boxing isn't as powerful as kickboxing," Gaia said. Gaia said, "The moves of military boxing are more about using a cruel method to destroy the opponent's body structure as much as possible. They mainly target the opponent's joints and vital points."
"Gaia, you're so strong. If you join a boxing competition, you'll definitely win."
Gaia shook his head. "It's not as simple as you think. Even if it's women's boxing, I might not be able to win in the end. The rules in the ring almost don't allow me to perform freely, let alone participate in the men's heavyweight competition. It would be difficult for me to win three opponents."
"What if it's outside the ring?"
"Ten heavyweight boxing champions. I can kill them in ten minutes."
Chen Zhao shuddered. He went to the toilet and came back. Gaia had already taken off his gloves.
"Gaia, what kind of grudge do you have against Morgery?"
"It's none of your business," Gaia answered directly.
Chen Zhao rubbed his nose. He cursed himself for being stupid. Why did he go looking for trouble for no reason?
…
After leaving the gym, Chen Zhao went straight to Rufford's house.
Bord was there too. He was teaching Rufford some light rehabilitation exercises.
"Chen, you're here."
The two stopped. Chen Zhao gestured. "Continue. Finish Bord's lessons."
Ten minutes later, Rufford came to Chen Zhao's side.
After almost a week of treatment, his leg no longer hurt. He felt that his injury had healed.
However, Bord felt that Chen Zhao had to check his injury before it could be counted.
Feelings weren't always accurate. Sometimes, an athlete would feel like they'd healed, but there were still hidden injuries. Vigorous exercise would cause the old injuries to relapse. Chen Zhao couldn't be careless to ensure that this wouldn't happen.
After checking, Chen Zhao patted Rufford's shoulder. "Rufford, you've recovered well. You can exercise normally now, but you can't exercise too much these days. Bord, give me Rufford's activity data."
"No problem."
Chen Zhao had introduced Bord to Rufford. He was also Rufford's investor.
Chen Zhao was also Bord's boss in disguise. Plus, Chen Zhao had saved his wife and daughter, so Bord naturally listened to Chen Zhao.
After staying at Rufford's house for an hour, Chen Zhao received a call from Ethan.
"Chen, there's a customer on the 40th floor of the FDD Commercial Building."
"What's the price?"
"Eight hundred dollars."
"That's a bit low. Who's he? What illness? If he's some gang leader, I won't go. "
Chen Zhao wasn't picky about the price or the patient, but eight hundred dollars was relatively low.
If it was just regular business, Chen Zhao would accept it for the sake of expanding his network.
However, if the person had a dangerous identity, the risk was too high. Eight hundred dollars wasn't worth it.
"The FDD Commercial Building is in a busy street. Do you think a gang would work there?"
