Demons Beside You Chapter 546

Chapter 546: Boxing Compet.i.tion

Chen Zhao thought that he'd convinced Murphy's father.

But after three seconds of silence, Murphy's father said, “Sorry. Despite what you said, Murphy still has to go.”

“F*ck.”

Crack—

Murphy ran over at the sound and saw that his phone had been shattered.

“Boss, you have to pay for my phone.”

“Take it.” Chen Zhao tossed him a hundred-dollar bill. He studied Murphy for a while and asked, “Where's your mom?”

“Are you unhappy from the talk with my dad?”

“It actually wasn't that bad,” Chen Zhao said nonchalantly.

Murphy looked at the pieces of his phone on the ground.

This was the result of something that wasn't that bad.

So, what would he do if it was bad?

“It's always been my mom who contacted me,” Murphy said. “I don't have her contact info.”

Chen Zhao rubbed his forehead. “Then, where does your dad live?”

Murphy stopped talking.

It felt like Chen Zhao wanted to kill his dad.

Judging from his tone, Chen Zhao really wanted to kill his dad.

“Do you have to go?”

Murphy lowered his head. After a pause, he said, “I have to listen to my dad.”

“Come back alive,” Chen Zhao said.

“Boss, is that an order?”

Chen Zhao kicked Murphy's thigh.

On the rare occasion that he was acting sentimental, this guy just had to ruin the atmosphere.

“I went once and almost died,” Chen Zhao said. “I hope you're luckier than me.”

Murphy gulped.

If Chen Zhao had almost died, then it must truly be dangerous.

All Chen Zhao could do was to remind Murphy and tell him how far it was.

Other than that, he couldn't do anything else.

Go in there with him?

No way.

“Professor Carlo.”

“Mr. Chen, you actually called me. How unusual. So, did you think it through? You want to join my expedition team? My team is full now, but if it's you, then I'd love to add you in.”

Think it through?

Only those who haven't thought it through would want to join your team.

Chen Zhao rolled his eyes. “Come here and take Murphy away.”

“I'm a bit busy,” Carlo said politely. “Can Murphy come alone?”

He didn't want to face Chen Zhao.

He felt that there was something wrong with Chen Zhao's tone.

“What, you don't want to see me? But I miss you so much. How about I go over there? Oh, your team is full, right? Let me help you test their abilities, just in case there are any cheaters.”

“I'll come over right now.”

Chen Zhao was clearly threatening him.

If he didn't go over, then Chen Zhao would come.

The team that he put together with such difficulty might get torn apart with Chen Zhao's bare hands.

He didn't think that his men could fight with someone who killed a Crypt Demon if they didn't use guns.

A while later, Carlo hurried to Chen Zhao's house.

“Mr. Chen.”

“Professor Carlo, I have a nautical diary. You should be able to translate it for me, right?”

“Uh, Spanish?” Carlo put on his gla.s.ses. “The language is quite ancient. Some of the grammar has even disappeared from modern Spanish.”

“You can translate it, right?”

“This counts as repaying what I owe, right?” Carlo asked.

“Yes.”

“There's quite a lot of content in this diary. Just leave it with me for now. I'll translate it when I have time and return it to you.”

Chen Zhao scoffed. “Then, no. This diary can't leave my line of sight. You can come over to translate when you have time. You'll repay your debt when you finish.”

“Mr. Chen, how about you go with me to that place? When we come out, I'll arrange some time to help you translate this diary.”

This old b*stard moved back to this within three sentences.

“You better die in there,” Chen Zhao said, annoyed. “Remember to bring Murphy out in one piece.”

Carlo took Murphy away.

Chen Zhao was a bit worried about Murphy, but since he wanted to go die there, it wasn't like Chen Zhao would stop him.

Just then, his phone rang.

It was Tiger. “Mr. Chen, I have a compet.i.tion today. Do you have time?”

“Okay, no problem. Where?”

Chen Zhao had called Gaia and Tiger these past two days. He knew that Tiger already entered the elimination round of the state BBL.

Today's round would produce the top 32 boxers. Chen Zhao was quite excited to see Tiger's performance.

He called Fali, wanting her to go together and cheer Tiger on.

Boxing was a very enthusiastic sport in America.

Even though BBL was a second-tier compet.i.tion, it still couldn't stop the audience's enthusiasm.

When Chen Zhao and Fali arrived, the thousands of seats were already filled.

Tiger now had a professional coaching team. It had been established by Gaia personally.

Just then, the MC got on stage. “Welcome to the State BBL Elimination Compet.i.tion. Today is the first round. Now, let's welcome our contestants. George Rodney from Pennsylvania is the champion of his state. He'd partic.i.p.ated in 98 professional compet.i.tions, KO'ed his opponent 19 times, and reached 190 kilograms for his heaviest weight lifted. Welcome!”

George Rodney entered the ring with a cape. He jogged around the ring under the audience's cheers.

“Now, let's welcome George's opponent, Tiger Jollar is currently studying at UCLA, but he's an infamous genius. He received his professional license last year and KO'ed his opponent three times in a row in this year's BBL Qualifying. He's also the champion of his state. Can he KO his opponent again this time? Let's watch and see. Welcome!”

Tiger wasn't fast. He sauntered through the opponent's pa.s.sage. Gaia and the team followed behind him.

“Chen, that kid can win, right?” Fali knew that Tiger was Chen Zhao's student, so she naturally supported him.

She wasn't interested in boxing but supporting her man and his student was natural.

“If he loses, I'm going to throw him into the lake for three days and three nights.”

“Now, the match begins!”

The MC retreated and the referee entered.

Amidst the whistle, the referee's hand fell down. The match officially began.

Tiger reached out a fist, wanting to b.u.mp fists with George.

This was a show of a friendly fight on the boxing ring. It was also good sportsmans.h.i.+p and respect for the opponent.

But George ignored Tiger. His fist hooked up at Tiger suddenly.

Tiger leaned back, dodging the punch.

He didn't expect George to be so sly.

Of course, this wasn't illegal, because the match had already begun.

Sneak attacks were allowed. It went against sportsmans.h.i.+p, but it didn't break the rules.

Jeers came from the audience. They also thought that this was a shameful move.

“Kid, pretty lucky, huh? Come and try to punch me—if you can get me, of course.”
