Du Fei said this because Fang Chao had told him during their chat that the richest man in Rongcheng was one of the proxies his family had supported.
Even if he wasn't very familiar with Rongcheng's business world, Du Fei had heard of the richest man's name.
However, he had never imagined that this richest man would be someone else's proxy.
Therefore, after learning the truth, he reassessed Fang Chao, the seemingly ordinary fat man.
It was precisely because he knew of the fat man's family's astonishing wealth that Du Fei had said what he did just now.
Fang Chao gave an awkward laugh, "That's family money. I don't have the right to touch it."
"Is that so? If I recall correctly, not long ago, you splurged a hundred million yuan on a Nine-Eyed Tianzhu bracelet?"
Du Fei chuckled and directly exposed Fang Chao's lie.
Fang Chao scratched the back of his head and said helplessly, "That was because it was my mother's birthday, so I planned to give her a birthday gift. Normally, I wouldn't dare to be so extravagant."
Since it had come to this, Du Fei didn't dwell on the topic anymore.
While the two were chatting, the hot beauties had completed their task and all left.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let us now invite the two fighters participating in today's boxing match. First up, the first fighter... thirty-six victories, known as the undefeated boxing king, Iron Man!!!"
The host shouted with passionate fervor.
"Iron Man!"
"Iron Man!"
"Iron Man!"
As the host's voice faded, some people in the audience excitedly stood up.
Following that, they shouted Iron Man's name in unison.
Their faces were flushed, and their spirits were high, much like fans chasing after their idols.
Amidst the crowd's fervent cheers, Iron Man entered the arena.
He wore only a pair of red shorts, his physique was extremely robust, and his muscles were full of masculine beauty. As he walked, he gave off a powerful presence.
Iron Man walked step by step onto the stage. During this time, the cheers from the audience never stopped.
Reaching a corner of the stage, Iron Man waved to the audience, a gesture that sent many into even wilder cheers.
"Next, we have the Muay Thai master Chatchai, who is challenging Iron Man!"
After the audience's cheers slightly subsided, the host continued to introduce the second fighter.
However, compared to Iron Man's immense popularity, Chatchai's entrance was much quieter.
Firstly, Iron Man was a familiar fighter to the audience, and many frequently watched his matches. Secondly, as a foreign Muay Thai master, the audience naturally leaned more towards their own countrymen.
Chatchai was not tall, perhaps reaching 1.6 meters at most. He was not at all stout; he was dark and thin, like a little old man. However, his eyes were peculiar, giving one a chilling feeling, like a venomous snake observing someone.
Arriving at the edge of the ring, Chatchai lunged forward and directly vaulted over the ropes onto the stage with remarkable agility.
"Both fighters are in position. Now, let us witness this battle of the century!"
Seeing that both fighters were in place, the host announced the start of the match.
Iron Man and Chatchai both moved towards the center of the ring, the boxing match on the verge of ignition.
"What's wrong? Do you know Iron Man?"
As soon as Iron Man appeared, Fang Chao's expression showed surprise, and he even felt like standing up. Du Fei couldn't help but ask.
Fang Chao exhaled, "Iron Man was my childhood friend. But his family went through some changes, and now he's all alone. I didn't expect him to end up fighting here."
It turned out this Iron Man was Fang Chao's friend, which surprised Du Fei as well.
"It looks like I came at the right time. After the match, I'm going to find him and have a good chat, ask him why he left without saying goodbye."
After the initial shock, Fang Chao immediately thought of Iron Man's unannounced departure.
Back then, after Iron Man's family suffered misfortune, Fang Chao's parents had taken him in and treated him as their own.
But a few years later, Iron Man left a letter and disappeared. This left Fang Chao bewildered.
However, the family searched for Iron Man for a long time without success, so Fang Chao's confusion could only remain an unanswered question buried deep in his heart.
Now that Fang Chao had unexpectedly seen Iron Man at an underground boxing match, he naturally wanted to ask him why he had left without saying goodbye back then.
However, while Du Fei and Fang Chao were chatting, the boxing match had officially begun.
As the undefeated boxing king with thirty-six consecutive victories, Iron Man clearly did not live up to his reputation. He immediately launched a fierce offensive.
Chatchai could only dodge Iron Man's onslaught, narrowly avoiding being hit several times.
During this time, the audience was cheering ecstatically, shouting for Iron Man to defeat his opponent.
However, people are only human and eventually tire. Although Iron Man's offense was fierce, after the initial, most dangerous round of attacks, Chatchai, relying on his agile dodges, gradually stabilized the situation.
And as time went on, Chatchai began to throw punches in return from time to time.
Although there seemed to be a significant difference in their physiques, Chatchai was trained in Muay Thai. From a young age, he had continuously trained his body parts.
Even though he looked thin now, a full-power punch from him could leave a one-inch deep imprint on hardwood, and the same applied to his knees and elbows.
When Iron Man had overextended his force moments ago, Chatchai landed a punch on his arm, causing a dull ache.
This couldn't continue. Iron Man had extensive boxing experience. He knew that Chatchai wouldn't dare to challenge him without preparation. Furthermore, with so many recordings of his matches available, his weaknesses had long been studied by others, some of which he himself was unaware of.
With this thought, Iron Man endured two punches from Chatchai and forced him into a corner.
Since their match was an unrestricted combat, there were no protective gears, nor any time or move limitations.
As long as the opponent wasn't killed publicly, anything was permissible.
Therefore, Iron Man chose to corner Chatchai.
Chatchai clearly anticipated Iron Man's intention and desperately tried to break free. But since Iron Man had finally cornered his opponent, he wasn't going to let this opportunity slip away.
Taking a deep breath, puffing out his chest, Iron Man synchronized his waist and stance, gathering all his strength into his fist.
Whoosh, whoosh.
The punch he threw even created a whooshing sound in the air.
Seeing this, Chatchai's expression changed drastically in alarm.
Crack!
Although Chatchai raised his arms to block, Iron Man's full-power punch directly broke one of Chatchai's arms.
Subsequently, Chatchai's left arm dangled by his side, and a pained expression appeared on his face.
