"Sorry," Tiger said angrily. "I already said don't call me again."
"Tiger, you're a fighter with potential, but potential doesn't equal strength. Even if you don't agree to our conditions, we can still make you lose in the ring. You won't get anything then."
The voice on the other end of the phone was cold and threatening.
"Just use whatever skills you have. I won't be afraid of you." Tiger was young and aggressive. He didn't know how to be tactful.
"That's what you said. Don't say I didn't warn you."
Tiger hung up. He had to receive four or five such harassing calls a day.
As a professional boxer, he also knew some of the inside stories of this circle.
Some casinos would use some shady methods to manipulate the competition for profit.
For example, he didn't even know who the person who'd called him was.
But they'd called him three times in a row, asking him to lose to his opponent.
They were willing to pay $50,000.
In other words, they wanted him to fake fights.
Just like how most boxers hated fake fights to the bone, Tiger was also very disdainful of it.
He wanted to win fair and square and then gain fame and fortune.
He also believed that he was strong enough to get everything he wanted.
At the same time, he had to prove his value to those people.
Chen Zhao and Gaia were both people he wanted to prove to.
Of these two people, one was his talent scout, who gave him a chance to stand on the arena once again.
The other was his mentor. Gaia had helped him just as much as Chen Zhao had.
He didn't want to disappoint either of them.
He wanted to tell them that they hadn't trusted the wrong person.
They'd made the right choice.
"Tiger, where are you hiding? Come out and train." Gaia's voice came from outside the locker room.
Tiger hurriedly ran out. Gaia glared at him. "Stop dawdling. Do you think you don't need to train anymore after winning a few matches?"
"Yes, Coach, I was wrong. Let's start."
Tiger was especially serious in training. Gaia couldn't slack off even if she wanted to.
Gaia even started missing the time when she'd been Chen Zhao's coach.
Chen Zhao was outstanding, but he didn't have the awareness of a strong person.
He was the one who wanted to train her, but he always seized every opportunity to be lazy.
That night, the others had all left.
Even Gaia was exhausted. "Tiger, that's enough. That's all for today's training."
"Coach, I want to train a little longer."
"Then continue practicing. I'm going back. Remember to lock the door for me," Gaia said.
Whether an athlete could succeed or not depended not only on his talent, but also on how hard he worked.
Under Chen Zhao's stimulation, Tiger's talent had improved by leaps and bounds.
He was also hardworking enough, so Gaia believed that Tiger would definitely succeed.
He would become a superstar in the world of boxing starting from this year's BBL competition.
He would use his own strength to conquer all enemies.
It was almost eleven o 'clock before Tiger packed his things.
She locked the gym door for Gaia.
This was the benefit of being a disciple of Gaia.
You can use the gym as long as you want.
Tiger thought that when he had money in the future, he would open a gym too.
Of course, he would have to go further.
He heard that the boxing gym upstairs was owned by Zanla Douglas.
It seemed that Zanla Douglas had been beaten up by Chen Zhao here.
Tiger didn't want to be attacked by Chen Zhao and Gaia together.
These two were like monsters. Even if he became the world champion, he definitely wouldn't want to stand in the same ring as them.
Tiger stood by the roadside, waiting for the bus in silence.
He still had zero income.
All his expenses were from Chen Zhao's investments.
Therefore, his plan was to buy himself a car as soon as he got the prize money.
Thankfully, the bus to his house would arrive very late.
Just then, Tiger's phone rang again.
"Hey."
"Tiger, I'm asking you one last time. Fifty thousand dollars, and you lose four days of competition."
"I don't care how much you give me, I won't fake it." Tiger rejected the other person's request as a matter of fact.
This time, the other person hung up first.
Just then, a car drove over from the distance with its high beams on.
Tiger didn't mind, but the car was really fast.
Bang!
When Tiger was sent flying, he realized that something was wrong.
A few people got out of the car and walked up to Tiger.
Tiger was lying on the ground, covered in blood.
The men started punching and kicking Tiger.
"Break both his arms."
"Ah …"
Tiger screamed and fainted completely.
But the next moment, he was woken up by the pain.
"Kid, this is what you get for rejecting me. I said that I have a way to make you get nothing. Now, my words have become reality. Do you understand?"
…
"Chen, something happened to Tiger." Gaia's panicked voice came from the other end.
Chen Zhao looked at the time. It was past four in the morning.
"Don't tell me this kid raped some girl on the street," Chen Zhao said in a daze. "If that's the case, I'll crush his balls myself."
"No, he's in the ICU now. He was attacked."
Chen Zhao suddenly woke up. "What? What happened? "
"I'm not sure. The police found my number from his phone. They said he's in the hospital now."
"Why didn't the police call me? Or maybe he didn't save my number in his phone? "
"F * ck, you're still in the mood to joke?"
"No, I need to know what position I have in his heart."
"Fine, he recorded your number, but … he marked your name as' Monster '."
"This * sshole," Chen Zhao cursed in a low voice.
"When can you come?"
"I'll go now."
Chen Zhao got out of bed secretly. Fali had actually already woken up when Chen Zhao called.
"Are you going out?"
"Tiger's injured. I need to go to the hospital."
"Okay, go. Be careful on the way."
"Love you." Chen Zhao bent down and kissed Fali. Then, he hurriedly put on his clothes.
When Chen Zhao reached the hospital, he realized that there was another familiar person outside the ICU besides Gaia.
