Shadow Empire

Chapter 784 Chores
For the next period of time, Carl did not live in the hospital all the time. He could not stand the hospital environment at all, so he moved back to his villa.

Fortunately, his injuries were all flesh wounds and did not involve his bones, so the doctor did not stop him.

Compared to the ward full of the smell of disinfectant, and the male and female nurses walking around with cold eyes, what Karl really needs at this moment is admiration!

It is the worship that comes from the heart of people!

It is the cheers from the bottom of people's hearts!

The cheers for him and the admiring looks from those young people.

The news that Carl had shot and wounded a federal soldier in the military zone spread quickly among the Slad community. The girls in the house took the news outside the military zone, and soon everyone knew about it.

Now there are quite a number of people who completely rely on their wives or daughters to work in the relaxation buildings of the military zone to obtain a stable source of income to live in the Federation.

Once problems arise at the military district, it is very likely that their wives and daughters will lose their income, causing the family environment, which is constantly improving, to suddenly return to its original state.

Some families even send all the women who can go together. Over the past year, the Slad people who fled to the Federation have come to realize that without money in the Federation, life here is more terrifying than hell!
Those who have never been hungry will never know how terrifying the feeling of hunger is, the burning sensation as if the stomach and intestines are entangled together and digesting each other, the pain, and the psychological pain.

In the end they chose to compromise with life rather than dignity.

If they were given another chance to choose, most of them would not choose to come to this damn federation!

However, it was a little late for them to understand this truth, and there is no if in this world.

Between survival and dignity, everyone chose to live.

Some people also think that Carl's behavior is wrong. His actions will intensify the conflict between the soldiers and the girls, and may even intensify the conflict between the soldiers and the Slads.

If the military no longer needs their wives and daughters to work, life will become a mess again.

This is the most terrifying, disgusting and speechless scene in this society.

Even if you do good things, you can't make everyone say good things about you. There will still be people who say bad things about you.

Fortunately, things did not develop in a direction they did not want to see. Admiral Miles did not end his cooperative relationship with Lance and continued to maintain it.

Now the soldiers have become more polite and less rude, which is said to be related to the military police who are constantly patrolling downstairs.

Their wives and daughters were not asked by the military to leave, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The relationship between Lance and Admiral Miles maintains a very delicate balance. Whether it is a little left or a little right, it is not quite right.

Since the end of August, newspapers such as "Jingang Today" have begun to promote the top ten light heavyweight ranking competition to be held at the Jingang Sports Center.

Ethan, against a fighter ranked ninth in the cruiserweight division.

Jingang City has also done enough publicity. After all, Ethan's nickname now is "Jingang King Kong", and he is the player with the most potential to compete for the gold belt.

Mayor Williams is a pretty good mayor. He knows how promoting some famous people can help a city.

With his proactive help, people soon knew about the game.

Even people who had no interest in boxing matches began to become interested.

According to the media, it seems that by winning this game, the people of Jingang City will conquer the world!
Time unknowingly came to the day of the game. Two huge banners were hung outside the gymnasium, one of which showed Ethan's appearance, and the other one showed the ninth-ranked boxer in the boxing league's light heavyweight division.

Lance and his friends also bought tickets for this game.

As Ethan's best friend in the Federation, everyone will definitely come to the scene to cheer for Ethan.

There are speculations everywhere about whether Ethan has a chance to win against the ninth-ranked light heavyweight boxer. After all, Ethan is too young, and he still has a lot of room for improvement technically and psychologically.

Between boxers of similar competitive levels, fist power, boxing skills, and perseverance are no longer the key to determining victory or defeat.

The key becomes experience and experience.

Lance could also hear some people's discussions while sitting in the VIP box. Although they were looking forward to the game, they did not necessarily expect Ethan to win. Some people supported Mr. Ninth to win.
This is not surprising.

There were always some people who were not optimistic about Ethan since his second competition. They always felt that this young man would suffer a bad fall.

The more stable Ethan's performance was, the more impatient they became, and the more they couldn't wait to see Ethan fall hard.

So much so that now, they are no longer watching the boxing match purely for the sake of the boxing match, but just to see whether Ethan will lose the match.

Compared to these people, there are also some good people.

Many people in Jingang City were talking about Ethan, calling him a "boxing champion from the slums", especially the people of the Empire, who felt honored by him. Those who were not very fond of immigrants were also cheering and encouraging at this moment, hoping that Jingang City could produce a boxing champion!
During the war, people were in great need of entertainment activities that could demonstrate the bravery and strength of the Union, such as bodybuilding, boxing, and weightlifting.

These competitions are so popular that it is hard to understand. It seems that overnight, people have started paying attention to these competitions and are enthusiastic about and chasing after them.

Some people can even name many people and their achievements in these industries, and perhaps even these people themselves don’t know how great they are.

The development of sports is activating the competitive and aggressive cells of the people in the federation. At the same time, these competitions can reduce people's stress. It is no surprise that people are willing to like sports.

"How long will it take for it to start?" Lance pushed open the door of the VIP box and walked in.

Erwin would definitely be there for things like this. As Ethan's best friend, he would attend almost every game.

This included some boxing matches that Lance didn't know about, but he would also participate to cheer Ethan on.

"Five minutes at most, you're here just in time!", Erwin said.

Not long after he finished speaking, the bell rang and the boxing match officially began.

At this moment, the entire stadium seemed to "come alive" and people stood up and loudly expressed the emotions that were usually suppressed in their hearts.

At this moment, they didn't need to hide their emotions and they completely vented them through this sports event.

When Ethan came out from a side passage, the people who had just sat down stood up again. People walking to both sides were talking to him loudly, and some wanted to reach out and touch him, but were stopped.

He once tried to figure out what these people were saying, but failed, so now he just took what they said as a greeting and a good wish.

He took a deep breath, held it in his chest, waved to the audience around him, slowly moved his shoulders, and came to Lei Tian.

The commentator was introducing the people they knew in Ethan's team through the loudspeaker, and was also guessing what tactics the coach had given Ethan.

Ethan's opponent, Mr. Ninth, also arrived at the competition site. He looked very strong, even stronger than on the poster, but he was not very tall.

As time went by, the first round began.

The charming girl held up a sign that said "First Round" and showed it to everyone on the ring before leaving the ring and disappearing.

Ethan concentrated his attention highly, and the noise seemed to disappear in an instant.

In his eyes, the only one left was his enemy, Mr. Ninth!

The first round officially begins.

The two men bumped fists in the middle of the ring as a sign of understanding.

Lance was sitting in a chair, a little curious, "What is Ethan's opponent saying? I saw his lips moving."

Erwin looked over carefully and said, "It felt like he was cursing at me."

In fact, he was indeed swearing. Trash talk is also a part of sports. Moreover, in competitions that require more rationality, more people will talk trash.

Whether it is irritating others or causing them trouble and distress, their plan is half successful.

Ethan is a "good-tempered" person. After the opponent had been talking trash for a long time, he couldn't help but complain to the referee, "His mouth is like a snake with diarrhea, and it never stops."

Just as he was complaining, the attention shifted from Mr. Ninth to the referee. Mr. Ninth suddenly rushed up and punched Ethan in the chin!
Fortunately, Ethan reacted quickly and dodged backwards. Mr. Ninth's fist grazed Ethan's chin and slipped out, but did not really hit him. Otherwise, this punch would have almost knocked Ethan down.

In an instant, the entire stadium was filled with screams, and the commentator was talking in disbelief about Ethan's momentary distraction. The wonderful confrontation appeared so bizarrely and reasonably.

The punch failed to hit the target, so Mr. Ninth immediately distanced himself from Ethan instead of pressing forward.

He had watched some videos of Ethan's games and some test reports, and found that he had a strong ability to resist dizziness.

Once you lose the most fatal blow, it would be very unwise to stick to it again.

Ethan's steps staggered slightly. Even though it was just a glancing blow, his fist was really heavy.

The referee warned Mr. Nine, "This is a boxing match. If you keep talking trash, I will simply sentence you to failure!"

Mr. Ninth grinned and said, "I don't think I'm talking trash. I'm just giving a newbie some lessons and experience."

"If you think this is trash talk, then I shut up!"
