“I will cover every expense; you just need to compete," Edward exchanged with Gray without hesitation.Hearing this, Gray Robinson burst into laughter. He didn’t expect Edward to be so audacious. Now people in this city could barely get him to talk, let alone book him for a match. Though he hadn’t officially declared retirement, it had been a long time since Gray stood in the ring. He was transitioning into the role of a coach, a trainer, rather than a fighter on the stage.“Is this your personal wish, or is it Benson Jackson’s idea?” Gray Robinson didn’t hesitate to look into Edward’s eyes. He referred to Benson by his name instead of the usual “Mr. Benson.”“It’s mine,” Edward replied straightforwardly. He knew lying to an old fox like Gray would be foolish. A simple call to Benson and Edward’s lie would be exposed. Moreover, Edward believed Gray was smart enough to figure out the answer. If this were Benson’s request, the person sitting here wouldn’t be him, and there would be no n
Thank you." Edward said, tears welling up in his eyes.“I’ll text you the address soon,” McKay responded.“Actually, I’m the one who should thank you. You’ve given me the motivation to come back, shown me that there are many people out there waiting for me.” Gray spoke with gratitude and a smile. The world of boxing, his passion, is where Gray Robinson belongs. Returning as a trainer didn’t suit him, and Edward helped reignite that flame.“I believe Gray Robinson’s comeback this time will be a significant milestone in the world of boxing. Gray Robinson, you are a legend among legends.”Gray simply smiled without saying a word, hoping that Edward’s words would become a reality. Gray Robinson, a legend among legends!“I have some business to attend to; stay here.” Gray stood up, grabbing his coat. Right now, what he needs is time for training. This comeback must be a significant wave in the boxing world.“Sure, take care.”Gray walked briskly to his car, leaving the cafe in less than th
Edward looked at the scene in front of him, shaking his head in frustration. Clearly, he had told Janet they were only going on a brief vacation for a few days, yet here she was dragging along five suitcases, overloaded with who knows how much stuff.“With this amount of luggage, does she plan to stay for a month?” Edward muttered under his breath.As Janet spotted Edward waiting for her, her eyes lit up. She waved continuously towards Edward and McKay, standing as if afraid they wouldn’t recognize her.“I’m here, I’m here!”At this moment, Edward observed everyone looking awkward. This was a hotel, not an airport; there was no need for that kind of enthusiastic waving. Not to mention, today she was dressed in a flashy red lace dress. Let alone Edward and McKay, even people in their late sixties might find it hard not to notice her. Edward wished he could find a hole to crawl into, so everyone would know he was involved with such an ostentatious woman.“What’s wrong with her?” McKay w
Why did you bring me here?" Janet frowned, looking at Edward. When people go on dates, they usually choose beautiful places. In the past, Edward had taken her to romantic locations, so she couldn’t understand why he brought her to a boxing arena. A place filled with violence and constant fighting seemed completely unsuitable for a beautiful girl like her.“Edward, let’s go back. I don’t like this place at all.”“Look around. Everyone here is a somebody. Even the smell of sweat alone is suffocating! I don’t want to be in this dump!” Janet said, stamping her foot on the ground.Edward couldn’t help but burst into laughter at Janet’s words. “Dump”? Did she make a mistake? Did she even know how much the tickets to this place cost? This was the largest boxing arena in the world. Not everyone could just walk in. Saying this place was a dump showed Janet’s lack of understanding. If someone was a “dump,” it was probably here. No matter how expensive her perfume was, it couldn’t cover the chea
After entering Gray’s room, Edward immediately changed his attitude. The cold and arrogant demeanor vanished, replaced by a very cheerful expression.“Gray, how are your preparations going?” Gray noticed Edward’s entrance and instantly became more cheerful. Gray held a favorable impression of Edward, considering him the motivation to return to the arena.“Oh, Edward, you’re here early! I thought you’d arrive a bit later!”“Early? No, I still feel like I’m late. How can I sit still in this crucial moment!” Edward said, advancing towards Gray, handing him a pre-prepared bottle of water.“Thank you. I didn’t expect you to be so considerate.” Gray graciously accepted the water from Edward. Gray’s room number meant nothing to him.“Oh, there’s something I want to ask you. Who’s the opponent you’ve prepared for me today? I’m genuinely curious!”Edward found Gray’s question amusing. The opponent he had prepared for the legendary boxer Gray was nothing more than a snotty-nosed, unaccomplished
“Jeff! Jeff! Jeff!" The chants of the fans below grew louder each day as they eagerly expected the upcoming spectacle. Gray Robinson, a legend among legends, was about to face off with a twenty-year-old lad named Jeff. This match will be the hottest headline tomorrow. Who knew what miracles might happen? An unknown figure like Jeff might become a second Gray, young and talented. Moreover, it had been over three years since Gray appeared in the ring. Now approaching forty, his physical condition was undoubtedly not what it used to be. The outcome of this chess game was unpredictable, like waves crashing into one another.Edward, sitting in the VIP seats, applauded enthusiastically for Jeff. Today, his protagonist had taken the stage. That person was also his “best friend” and the lover of the person sitting next to him. How could he not cheer for his friend? “Jeff, give it your best!” Edward said, accompanied by a sly smile. His intention wasn’t for Jeff to win, but to ensure his best
Hearing her name from Edward, Janet jolted. Wasn’t it just a moment ago that he told the director here that she wasn’t his girlfriend? Why introduce her like this now? Clearly, he was doing it on purpose! He was deliberately doing this in front of Jeff! She and Jeff hadn’t officially broken up, so why was she here today as Edward’s girlfriend? What would Jeff think? How was she going to face Jeff now? Everything was truly horrifying!Janet looked at Edward with pleading eyes. She didn’t want to stand up; she didn’t want Jeff to see her! She was exhausted now, and she just wanted Edward to let her go. Material possessions, money, or becoming the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family, she didn’t need any of that anymore!On Edward’s part, he maintained his smile. Of course, he understood what Janet wanted, but there was no way he’d let that happen. Even if she died here today, he’d force her to stand up and introduce herself as Edward Sherwood’s girlfriend, especially in front of Jeff. We
Does everyone have their ballots ready?" Edward looked down at the crowd and spoke.“Yes!” The response from below was unanimous. They were all prepared for the game.“Great! Let’s start placing bets on the person we believe will win. Of course, I’ll join in as well.” Edward spoke while holding two ballots, one with Gray’s name and one with Jeff’s. In this act, he also had a little trick to entertain them. A bit of excitement wouldn’t hurt.Hearing this, Catthierin immediately welcomed it. If Edward wanted to take part in betting, he would undoubtedly be pleased. Edward joining in would likely attract many others to take part as well. For him, this was a significant gain.“Oh, Sir Edward is interested in this betting game as well? I wonder whom you’ll choose. Your idol, Gray, or Jeff, the one chosen by the lady?”Edward laughed at Catthierin’s words. Though he spoke lightheartedly, he asked that was on his mind. This betting event was undoubtedly very interesting. And how could Edward
