Chapter 1 Chen Hero Is Furious

Enraged at having his good time ruined, Chen Hero called and unleashed a torrent of abuse, only remembering after he'd finished that he didn't waste his breath on the nameless, so he demanded to know who he was talking to.

When he heard that it was the BBC's "Match of the Day" program, he was stunned.

It wasn't that he was afraid of a powerful program that could cause him trouble, he didn't care about that. What he was thinking was that the program had recorded all the profanity he'd just spewed. Would that damage his image?

"Um, that part will be cut when it's broadcast later, right?" he asked, trying to fix the situation.

But they wouldn't let him.

"Our program is live, Hero," Kyriacou realized what had happened and his reply was much smoother.

Of course, he'd thought about the consequences of Chen Hero's outburst, but that wasn't his problem, it was Chen Hero's.

After he said the program was live, the line went silent.

Kyriacou said nothing.

The viewers in front of their televisions all stared intently at the screen, wondering what explosive language Chen Hero would come out with next. This was big news!

How many of those present had personally heard Chen Hero's original, unedited cursing? They'd heard Chen Hero curse before, but it had always been censored by the television station, often with long stretches of roaring replaced by "bleep, bleep, bleep."

On the other end of the phone, Chen Hero was clenching his fist and cursing "your mother's cunt" in his mind.

He could choose to hang up, and that would be the end of it. But that wasn't in line with Chen Hero's philosophy, it would make people think he was afraid of his foul language being exposed. Although he was a little worried, it wasn't enough to make him run away.

Damn it, it's just a few curse words, me cursing just shows I'm genuine! If you dare criticize me, you're all a bunch of hypocrites. These days, who doesn't casually swear a few times in their life?

With that thought in mind, he calmed down.

His breathing evened out, and he spoke again, his voice a little softer, still a bit hard, but much better than before.

"What do you want from me?"

※※※

Kyriacou was waiting for Chen Hero's reply on the other end of the phone, and he was taken aback when he heard Chen Hero's voice—he'd calmed down so quickly, he was really something...

"Uh, it's like this... After you made those remarks about Allardyce and West Ham United, the West Ham United fans are very angry. They think you insulted their team and demand an apology. What do you think about this, Hero?"

When Chen Hero heard that it was this kind of crap that had ruined his good time, he flew into a rage, and the mood that he had managed to calm down rose again.

Damn it, are you guys ever going to be done?

After the reporters relayed Allardyce's comments to him, he had just mocked him a little, and didn't really take it to heart. He didn't care that Allardyce had sourly satirized him as a profit-seeking person.

But now it was different, because this matter had ruined the atmosphere that he and Cabral had finally created. He was so close, just a little bit away, he thought he could have scored, but he didn't expect to be out at the last moment.

It was all because of your petty thoughts!

Apologize, no way!

※※※

"Why should I apologize?" Chen Hero's voice sounded surprised. "I don't think I offended them. What I originally said was that even if a team coached by Allardyce asked me to join, even if they gave me a hundred million pounds, I wouldn't consider it. I didn't say West Ham United."

Kyriacou thought, who doesn't know your little word game? You just look down on West Ham United, right?

"But now the team coached by Allardyce is West Ham United..." As a program host, a sharp-tongued celebrity in the BBC news program, of course he wouldn't let this matter end like this, he would naturally add fuel to the fire, otherwise how could it be hyped up? If it doesn't get hyped up, what are we working so hard for? What are the readers and viewers watching!

He originally thought that Chen Hero would deny it in every possible way, so that, in fact, Chen Hero didn't need to admit it himself, everyone would know that he was worried about offending West Ham United, and that he actually looked down on West Ham United.

People's evaluation of him would be lower—you don't dare admit what you've done, are you still a man?

In English football, although Chen Hero is a figure pursued by the media, it doesn't mean that many people like him. In many cases, those Englishmen who always look down on people don't like Chen Hero. They think Chen Hero is too arrogant, too arrogant, and doesn't know when to advance or retreat. A player who is so arrogant will be unlucky.

I'm afraid only Liverpool fans are Chen Hero's most loyal supporters. Everyone else is neutral and disgusted, and may be stimulated by some of Chen Hero's other seemingly arrogant things to remove the word "neutral."

But Kyriacou was wrong again.

Chen Hero became impatient when he heard what he said. He wasn't stupid, of course he knew what the host meant by emphasizing that the team coached by Allardyce was now West Ham United—this was like a hunter in World of Warcraft, helping the MT (Main Tank) pull monsters, and misleading them. This was clearly helping him, Chen Hero, pull hatred.

Want to hype things up? Want to create more gimmicks?

I don't care.

Chen Hero directly said: "If you and they are willing to think so, then you can say that. Yes, I am attacking West Ham United, and I just look down on West Ham United, so what? Such a team, inviting a head coach who can't stand others being good, that in itself shows that there is something wrong with the board of directors' vision for choosing people. If every time West Ham loses a game, that old idiot Allardyce opens his mouth and sprays randomly, saying that others win because they are richer than his team, I believe many teams will look down on West Ham United!"

After speaking, he hung up the phone directly.

The call ended abruptly, and Kyriacou was stunned for a moment.

Then a strange smile appeared on his face, which looked like a wry smile, but in fact he was a little excited, because he knew that his goal had been achieved. This matter could continue to ferment for a few more days.

But he still had to cover it up, otherwise people would say that these media people are too shameless, using unscrupulous means for news gimmicks, sowing discord, and are simply the most shameless... So he had to make a wry smile and shook his head and sighed: "This is really the most special telephone connection I have ever experienced in my many years of doing news... ha!"

Alan Shearer was frowning in his heart. He actually knew why Kyriacou wanted to do that. He is now considered half a media person, and he also understands some things. He just felt that Chen Hero's response was not smart. If it were him, he would explain to the West Ham United fans that he did not intend to offend them, and then push all the responsibility to Allardyce... Like Chen Hero now, although he scolded Allardyce by the way, he still attracted all the hatred of the West Ham fans, and he became the first person to bear the brunt. As for how people look at Allardyce, he can't control it, anyway, he won't publicly oppose Allardyce, giving you Chen Hero face...

He felt that he should find a chance to chat with Chen Hero. He admired Chen Hero from the bottom of his heart, because there are very few center forwards like him anymore. He is a unique existence in today's world football. It would be a pity if such an outstanding player was destroyed because of his own personality, or did not reach the height he should have...

After Chen Hero hung up the phone, Cabral, who had been sitting on the sofa without saying a word, said, "You seem to have offended a lot of people again? Otherwise, I'll ask for leave and stay here to protect you?"

If it had been a few years ago, when Chen Hero and Cabral had just met, he would have agreed without hesitation, and hadn't he always hoped that Cabral could stay in England for a long time? Now this is a great opportunity.

But Chen Hero shook his head and refused. Because he is now Cabral's man, the identities and relationships between the two people have changed, and naturally their ideas have also changed.

What Chen Hero was thinking was that I am a dignified seven-foot man, how can I always shrink behind my woman? Isn't it just a group of West Ham United fans, no matter how crazy they are, can they be more crazy than the Napoli fans? I'm not afraid of the Napoli fans, am I afraid of you people? If I let Cabral stay with me to protect me because of this matter, wouldn't I lose face if this matter spread?

"Don't worry, Christine. They are just fierce in their mouths. If you really let them do something, they will at most struggle in their hearts for a long time, and then pretend to accidentally knock over the trash can on the side of the road. This group of little kids who rushed into the toy store to rob dolls during the riots only have a combat power of five, what is there to be afraid of?"

He was talking about the large-scale riots that occurred in several major cities in the UK in August last year.

Cabral laughed when she heard him say that. The riots in the UK looked powerful, but there were actually no bloody scenes. It was just throwing stones, smashing shop windows, and robbing things in the chaos. The most popular thing was setting fire to cars.

"Really don't need it?" she asked.

Chen Hero naturally had to put on airs in front of his woman, and he must not let his woman look down on him.

"Really don't need it, you still have your job, and when I miss you, I'll fly to Italy to find you." Chen Hero rolled his eyes, now he turned off his phone, no one will call to harass them anymore, his mind became active again.

"Look, Christine... it's still early, good times and beautiful scenery... we, don't we do something meaningful? Hehe..."

But the atmosphere was completely wrong, and Chen Hero's anxious appearance was completely obscene in the eyes of outsiders, not romantic.

Cabral naturally wouldn't give in, and she shook her head and rejected Chen Hero's proposal.

Chen Hero himself also knew that the atmosphere had been completely destroyed now, and it would definitely be impossible to create it again tonight, and it will still depend on luck and opportunity in the future.

Thinking of this, he hated Allardyce and West Ham United even more, especially those West Ham United fans who were clamoring for him to apologize. If it weren't for this, he might have been holding Cabral in bed doing love now.

Damn it! I just don't like you guys, I just look down on you guys! I just won't apologize, come and get me if you have the ability! Damn! Not only will I not apologize, but in the future, when I see you West Ham United on the court, I will score on you every time! At least two goals!

Chen Hero cursed and vowed to make West Ham United look good.

Poor West Ham United, if they knew that their request for Chen Hero to apologize would anger the other party and bring them a terrible enemy, maybe they would regret what they did today?

However, that's not necessarily the case...
