Night’s Nomenclature - Chapter 208: Sister
Qing Chen felt that ONE and him were in a strange relationship now. For some reason, he always felt like the AI seemed to be competing with him…
This made him a bit uneasy.
Just as he started to feel this way, the AI gave him a massive counterattack.
“ONE, I’m curious,” Qing Chen said earnestly, “Are your parents human? I’m really sincerely asking, what are their names?”
ONE felt strange, “My parents are indeed human, but what are you asking this for? This is the second time you have asked the same question.”
“I just want to know what kind of person is capable of teaching as infuriating of an AI as you?” Qing Chen said.
“Oh,” ONE replied seriously, “It is indeed inherited from my parents. My father pissed off many people back then, so I have been exposed to his character since I was a child…”
“Who are your parents?” Qing Chen asked again.
“You’re a Knight now, so I don’t have to keep it a secret from you. My father is Ren Xiaosu, and my mother is Yang Xiaojin,” ONE replied, “You’ve seen their names before. They’re on the Qingshan Great Cliff.”
Qing Chen was stunned. ONE’s parents were the son and daughter-in-law of Ren He, the founder of the Knights.
No wonder ONE and Li Shutong have such a good relationship. They were family friends!
After a brief calculation, Qing Chen found that he could afford to pay the loans he had if he fought three boxing matches a month.
However, no fighter ever had such high-frequency matches in the entire Haitang Boxing Club. After a fighter finishes a match, it takes a month or two to recover from his injuries. Usually, a fighter would only participate in two matches a season.
In other words, Qing Chen’s future matches must be six or seven times more frequent than that of other boxers.
During this period, he couldn’t be seriously injured, because his matches would have to be suspended if that happened. If he couldn’t fight, he would have no income, and if he had no income, he would not be able to repay the loan.
Then, all the houses and cars he owned would belong to the bank.
His master Li Shutong must have carefully calculated the amount to load, hoping to be just enough to stimulate Qing Chen to be in high-intensity matches. This would allow him to improve drastically in terms of his fighting technique.
Qing Chen didn’t actually end up walking to the boxing club. After all, City 18 was too big.
By the time he walked to the fourth district, it would probably be dawn.
At this moment, the news about Prison 18 being destroyed by the Qing Consortium has spread throughout the Federation.
However, other consortiums did not overreact to this. Everyone remained silent as if nothing had happened.
When Qing Chen’s floating car landed on Haitang Boxing Club’s landing pads, he could already hear the roar of cheers in the boxing club.
It seemed that everything that happened outside had no effect on this place.
These gamblers didn’t care about the student protests or the death of a demigod. They only cared about whether they won money.
After Jiang Xiaotang learned that Qing Chen had come to the boxing club, she immediately came to the door and looked at him seriously, “You…why are you here?”
She saw the news and knew Qing Chen’s identity, so she was surprised that Qing Chen could come tonight.
After getting out of the car, Qing Chen said enthusiastically, “Sister!”
The dashboard screen in the floating car suddenly became blurred…
The word “sister” that came from Qing Chen stunned Jiang Xiaotang for a moment. She then started laughing, like a blooming gardenia.
Her smile is no longer so enchanting, but a little innocent, giving people an illusion as if a fragrance was wafting in the night.
It was a smile from the depth of her heart.
Jiang Xiaotang circled around Qing Chen, “Did you call me sister because you want to be paid the dividend ratio of a cruiserweight boxing champion?”
Qing Chen said sincerely, “Dividend or not doesn’t matter much to me. I just think you’ve been so kind to me, and I want to call you sister.”
Inside the car, ONE sighed with emotion and said in a very quiet voice, “Finally a shameless Knights who can completely let go of his face.”
“No matter what your motive is, I’m happy to hear you call me sister anyway,” Jiang Xiaotang said with a smile. She turned to her subordinate in a black suit and said, “Tell the referee to make sure no one dies in Haitang Boxing Club tonight. Also, increase all the appearance fees for all the boxers fighting tonight by 10%.”
“Yes, ma’am,” the subordinate nodded.
Jiang Xiaotang pulled Qing Chen’s sleeves and walked in. On the way, she still had a vague concern, “Are you okay… have you recovered from your previous injuries?”
“Those are nothing,” Qing Chen smiled and shook his head.
“Do you want me to arrange a boxing match for you tonight?” Jiang Xiaotang asked again.
Qing Chen hesitated for a while, and finally said, “I’ll just watch tonight.”
Although he wanted to make money to pay off the debt as soon as possible, he knew that too much had happened tonight.
He didn’t want anyone to pick up on some details.
At this moment, someone in the boxing gym might already be waiting to analyze his behavior.
Moreover, the dividends from a boxing match would just be a drop in the bucket compared to the debt he owes…
The little over 10 million yuan that Li Shutong saved for him was probably intended to give him a buffer time so that he still had time to continue learning from other matches.
Qing Chen never lacked patience and caution, so he would wait for his time to step into the octagonal cage.
Jiang Xiaotang cheerfully walked in her high heels. The tip of her heels tapped a joyful rhythm.
“Do you want to watch the boxing match in the private room?” She asked, “VIP001 is still reserved for you. By the way, Li Yinuo is also here at the boxing club tonight. You seem to know her well. Do you want to find her? “
“No, thank you,” Qing Chen shook his head, “I’ll just go watch from the stands.”
Tonight, he must appear in the public eye.
Jiang Xiaotang seemed to be thinking about something as they walked, but she didn’t try to persuade him, “Okay, Haitang Boxing Gym will be your home from now on. Just let the staff know anything you want.”
After Qing Chen entered the stadium stands, the enchanting woman returned to her office and looked at the holographic surveillance image on the table in front of her.
The center of the image was Qing Chen standing calmly in the stands. The teenager was tall and well-proportioned.
She propped her chin and watched silently.
Jiang Xiaotang knew very well that Qing Chen was the future leader of the Knights, otherwise, Li Shutong wouldn’t have had to bother coming over and hinting at her.
Of course, she also knew very well that by bringing Qing Chen here all of a sudden, Li Shutong wanted her to help take care of Qing Chen.
The woman quietly leaned on the back of the chair and lit a cigarette. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, “Feels pretty good to have a younger brother.”
