Chapter 133 Boxer
As the name suggests, the Harbor Boxing Gym is built on the edge of the port. In the evening, Annick found a pair of old washed white clothes that he usually wears in college and put them on, and also bought a white wolf mask for the masquerade party.
I looked at the clock and saw that at 5:30 in the afternoon, the Harbor Boxing Gym had put up its sign. It was written in white chalk on the black board.
Real person unlimited duel, just tonight, limited to 500 tickets.
Isn't it a duel for family inheritance? It can also be sold for money. Annick underestimated the greed of this group of businessmen.
Opening the door, a chubby boss stood at the counter facing the door. He was holding a dozen paper tickets in his hand, which looked like they should be seat numbers. There was a money box next to him. It seemed that the voice was okay today.
"Sir, what are you here for? We have three types of tickets to watch tonight's game. The first class can watch the excitement of fisting at close range in the first three rows, and the third class can only be on the outermost edge."
"Isn't this a duel for the Kaledi family's inheritance tonight?" Annick asked.
"Yeah, so I spent a hundred pounds to buy the right to sell tickets for this game."
Annick glanced at the money box, which was filled with gold pounds and silver shillings.
"You've already paid back your money, right? What's the inside story of the four contestants tonight?" Annick had to ask about the situation in advance for five hundred pounds.
"The eldest son Moore hired an Eastern master who is said to have strange weapons. The second son Devin hired a senior killer. The third son Edmund hired Matthew, the strongest boxer in our boxing gym. As for the younger daughter Santia
, she is the most mysterious, there is no news yet.”
Of course there is no news, the person she invited stands in front of you. Except for the Oriental person invited by the boss who is a little unclear about the details, Annick is confident of overpowering the other two people.
"Very good, boss, do you have any other business besides tickets?"
"Other business?" the fat boss asked a little confused.
"Place a bet on winning or losing or something."
"Oh, yes, you like this." The fat boss put down the tickets in his hand and took out a small blackboard.
The eldest man pays 1.5 for 1
Second man pays 1.8 for 1
Three men pay 1.2 for 1
Young girls pay 4 for 1 (tentative)
"Matthew is so strong?" Annick asked tentatively.
"That's natural. He's a 7-foot-tall, 200-pound monster. Not only is he physically strong, but his punching speed and agility don't make him look like a big man at all."
The boss introduced it proudly. Annick felt relieved after hearing this. If it were just the boxer himself, he would not be afraid at all.
"I bought Laosi's, and I pay 4 for 1, right?" Annick said, taking out his wallet and patting it down a few times. All the coins fell on the table.
"So confident? What's the inside story?" the boss asked while counting the money.
"I don't have any inside information, I just want to make more money." After saying that, he showed greedy eyes.
"Fifteen pounds, two shillings and seven pence. Here is your voucher." After the fat boss counted the money, he quickly wrote the amount and odds on a piece of paper, and then stamped it.
After thanking Annick, he put the voucher back into his wallet, turned around and walked to the door to wait for Santiya's arrival.
"Who is that, boss?" A big man standing in the shadows came out. The exploding muscles on his arms showed his strength, and his bare head was polished.
"Matthew, didn't you go to rest? Um? A young guy just wanted to make a fortune. He actually spent more than fifteen pounds to buy No. 4." The boss replied nonchalantly.
"That's good. Edmund gave me a bonus of one thousand pounds. I don't want to miss this opportunity to make a fortune."
Annick was sitting on the bench in front of the boxing gym, waiting for Santiya's arrival.
A four-wheeled carriage stopped in front of the boxing gym, and Santia put on a black suit jacket, paired with a striped shirt and a blue bow.
"This set really doesn't suit you, Ms. Santia, it's too serious." Annick said without mercy. After all, this is the time when Fang Zheng needs himself.
"I think so too. In order to cover up the scars on my face, I put on enough powder. I can't help it, tonight is the most important night for me."
Santia jumped off the carriage and took the initiative to open the door of the boxing gym for Annick.
"Here, this is your rest room. Someone will come to guide you to participate in the competition at seven o'clock in the evening."
The rest room is small, with a bench and a desk. There are also some drinks on the desk.
"I guess drinking before the game is not allowed." Annick pointed to the whiskey bottle on the desk.
"For your health, Mr. Sheriff, I think you should drink some soda. Is there anything else you need?" Santiya asked.
"It's nothing. I'll just lie down here and wait for the duel or circus in the evening." "As you wish, sir." Santia walked out and closed the door behind her.
Lie down and take a nap to gather some energy for the night's duel. Annick put on a white wolf head mask and lay down on the bench to get ready to fall asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Annick heard a knock on the door.
"Dong dong dong, Contestant No. 4, your time to compete is up."
When the door was opened, a boy who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old and wearing overalls stood outside.
"Start now?" Annick asked.
"Yes sir, you don't look very strong." After the boy said this, the leader Annick walked towards the boxing ring on the underground floor.
"I'm quite confident. Boy, how much is your weekly salary?" Annick pressed his neck as he walked. The lack of a pillow made Annick feel a little stiff.
"In addition, the boxers reward up to 3 pounds, sir."
"Do you still want to give me a reward? Sorry, I only have one voucher. Take all your savings and buy me to win. This will give you a chance to make a fortune."
The young man obviously didn't believe Annick's words and opened the door.
Below is a noisy scene, a small boxing ring made of cement, with four pillars erected at the four corners, and three days of iron ropes between each pillar to block it.
"Matthew, Matthew, Matthew." shouted loudly from the audience area.
Standing on the ring was a burly man, with his upper body bare and a golden belt hanging from his waist. Like a king, he enjoyed the cheers of his subjects on the stage and waved frequently to the audience.
"Give me a moment." The boy pushed through the crowd and brought Annick to the ring.
"Here, sir, your gloves. If you need them, there is also a rubber mouth guard. It has been sterilized, so feel free to use it." The boy handed over a pair of soft leather gloves filled with cotton.
"No need. In five minutes, I will beat your king to the ground." Annick raised five fingers.
The boy shook his head, took the gloves and left.
Annick put his hands on the ring and pushed his body hard onto the stage.
In a row of VIP seats, the five elders of the Kaledi family sat in front, and of course there was a young lady in the middle of them.
