“Todd, do you have a favorite team?”

“Arsenal,” Todd pondered for a moment before saying.

“That’s quite a coincidence, me too!”

At this moment, Zhou Chao and the others were on their way to the Prince’s Park Stadium. Norman had invited him to watch a football match, and this morning he had called again. With nothing else to do, Zhou Chao agreed to come.

Today was the match between Paris Saint-Germain and Saint-Etienne. Even before reaching the stadium, they could see many people heading towards it.

Arriving at the predetermined location with Norman, Zhou Chao and the others got out of the car. They saw Norman with two bodyguards and a large, powerful man approaching them, full of vigor.

“Zhou, you finally made it. I was afraid you were delayed,” Norman warmly greeted.

“A little delay on the way.”

“Let’s go inside; the match is about to start!

Under Norman’s lead, Zhou Chao, Lin Wu, and Todd entered the stadium. The other personnel stayed in the car.

Norman had arranged a private executive box. Upon entering, they found a table filled with various snacks and drinks, and the view was excellent.

The Prince’s Park Stadium, located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, was quite spacious, with a capacity of over 46,000 people. It used to be the national team’s home stadium, but a larger one was built later, leaving this one for Paris Saint-Germain.

This stadium was the pride of the entire Parisian population. Paris

Saint-Germain had won 10 Ligue 1 championships, 14 Coupe de France titles, 11 Trophee des Champions, and more.

In this stadium, Paris Saint-Germain was adorned with honors.

Soon, both the home and away teams began entering the field, and the fans cheered enthusiastically. Even though there was glass separating them, Zhou Chao could still feel the passion of the fans. The overwhelming cheers were truly awe-inspiring.

The match soon began, with Zhou Chao and Norman sitting on a sofa by the window. They enjoyed their favorite drinks and snacks while watching the game.

Whenever Paris Saint-Germain had an exciting moment, Norman would get very excited, sometimes even waving his fists.

Below them, the cheers of the fans could be heard. There were cheers for their own team and boos for the opponents.

In the 14th minute of the game, Paris Saint-Germain scored 1-0 with a follow-up shot in the middle by Neymar.

The home advantage was evident as the thunderous cheers echoed throughout the stadium.

However, things quickly took a turn.

“Damn it, that was a malicious foul! It was intentional, and Saint-Etienne’s captain, Perrin, wanted to injure our superstar Mbappe. He must be shown a red card!”

In the 31st minute of the match, Paris Saint-Germain’s star player, Mbappe, was substituted due to injury, delivering a heavy blow to all the fans in the stadium. Every Paris Saint-Germain fan wore a concerned expression, and even Norman lost his initial excitement.

He still occasionally cursed the opposing team, though. Youngsters these days were lacking sportsmanship!

The second half of the match was played intensely, and both teams gave it their all. Until the final whistle, neither side managed to score.

The game ended with a narrow victory for Paris Saint-Germain against Saint-Etienne, and Norman’s face was filled with excitement.

As the group left the stadium, there were also large crowds of departing fans outside. Some were happily chatting, while others were complaining.

Norman hummed the anthem of Paris Saint-Germain, and the more he sang, the louder it became. Zhou Chao, who had noticed that the song had just two lines and was quite catchy, couldn’t help but join in.

However, as he sang, a robust and tattooed Saint-Etienne fan with a somewhat glazed look yelled at Zhou Chao, “Hey, you yellow-skinned monkey, shut up!” He was accompanied by several other men wearing Saint-Etienne jerseys, all of them tall and burly.

Zhou Chao, who had been enjoying himself, turned his face as soon as he heard these words. He went straight up and kicked the man more than a meter away, knocking him into his accompanying friends before coming to a halt.

“Bastard, if you dare to say it again, I’ll send you to meet your god!”

The onlookers’ friends, suddenly seeing their friend being attacked, were instantly filled with anger. Combined with the fact that their team had lost, their rage surged, and they began to approach Zhou Chao, cursing and grumbling.

The conflict happened abruptly. Initially, Lin Wu and Todd hadn’t reacted, but they quickly stepped forward to shield Zhou Chao.

“Leave that guy spewing nonsense to me!” Zhou Chao’s tone turned as cold as ice. Both Lin Wu and Todd prayed for the tattooed man for a second.

Lin Wu and Todd went straight to confront them. Although the opposing group appeared tall and imposing, none of them managed to last even two rounds against Lin Wu and Todd. They all ended up lying on the ground.

Two of them seemed unwilling to give up and tried to get up, but after a couple of kicks from Lin Wu, they lay on the ground moaning in pain.

With a cold expression, Zhou Chao approached the tattooed man who had been spewing insults earlier. By this time, the tattooed man had regained his composure. Seeing his companions all lying on the ground, he instinctively took a few steps backward until he bumped into someone behind him.

He stopped only when he bumped into the person behind him. He looked at Zhou Chao, who was getting closer, and suddenly roared in anger, rushing towards Zhou Chao.

However, Zhou Chao also stepped forward briskly, sidestepping the punch the tattooed man swung at him. He grabbed the man’s arm and executed a shoulder throw.

“Thud!” The tattooed man crashed to the ground.

Zhou Chao squatted beside the man. Although the man’s hands were restrained, Zhou Chao looked at him and said word byword, “Bastard, do you yield? Weren’t you acting all tough just now? Say it, were you referring to me?”

He gave the tattooed man a series of resounding slaps across the face, showing no mercy. In no time, the man’s face swelled up. To ensure his face remained symmetrical, Zhou Chao didn’t spare the other side either.

Only when the man completely gave up resisting did Zhou Chao release him.

“Oh my God, this is so cool!”

“Oh my gosh, kung fu from Huaxia!”

“Wow, this handsome guy is so sexy!”

“Call the police, call an ambulance!”

For a moment, the onlookers began to exclaim and react, with most of them not knowing what had happened but enjoying the spectacle.

It seemed that the desire to watch excitement transcended national borders.

“Zhou, are you okay?” Norman walked up, showing great concern.

“I’m fine,” Zhou Chao shook his head lightly.

Lin Wu and Todd also approached. At the same time, Todd’s subordinates arrived. Many onlookers saw the commotion and, with a keen eye for trouble, decided to leave. Only a few remained, those who didn’t mind a bit of excitement.

“Norman, could you please call the legal counsel from the group?”

“I’ve already made the call. I believe they’ll arrive soon.”

Just as Norman finished speaking, the police arrived. When they saw Zhou Chao’s black-clad bodyguards and the briefcase he was holding, the leading officer’s eyes narrowed.

After surveying the surroundings, he finally noticed someone very familiar standing behind Zhou Chao.

“Norman!” One of the prominent figures in Paris, the leading officer, spoke with a subtle movement of his throat before stepping forward.

“Both of you, please come with us to the police station.”

Norman glanced at Zhou Chao and nodded. The group got into their cars and followed the police car to the station. Those who were lying on the ground were also brought along.

Zhou Chao remained calm. Dealing with racist troublemakers was straightforward for him, as he had acted in self-defense.

They arrived at the police station shortly. The lawyer Norman had called was already waiting at the entrance. Accompanying him was a middle-aged man who appeared to be a leader.

Seeing Norman step out of the car, the leader warmly welcomed him with an excited expression on his face.

The two engaged in conversation, while Zhou Chao remained in the car without any intention of getting out.

After a brief discussion, the two concluded their conversation. The leader directed his subordinates to bring the individuals who had been beaten inside the police station. Meanwhile, Norman approached Zhou Chao’s car.

“Zhou, the matter has been resolved. Would you like to join us for dinner later?”

“No need, Norman. I’m not in the mood today. I’ll head back home for now.” Zhou Chao shook his head, his good mood had vanished.

Norman nodded in response.

Soon, Zhou Chao and his group left in their cars, while Norman and the leader-like figure also departed.

This was the power of foreign capital—having money and status meant having the ability to do as one pleased.

Although Zhou Chao didn’t like this kind of behavior, it didn’t stop him from enjoying the convenience that came with such privileges.

In the afternoon, when he returned home, Zhou Chao saw news online.

Although it hadn’t spread widely, some people were discussing it.

Fortunately, the videos and photos were all pixelated, preventing Zhou Chao and his group from being exposed. This spared them from a lot of trouble.

After skimming through the comments below the news, filled with astonishment, insults directed at the racist, and a few attention-seekers, Zhou Chao quickly exited the news page.

Just as he put his phone down, a call came in.

“Brother Yang, is there something you need?”

“Hehe, the three items you provided earlier have been confirmed as genuine. In a little while, you’ll see related reports in the news!”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chao burst into laughter.

“I told you they were real, why didn’t you believe me?”

“Well, I was trying to be objective… Anyway, that’s not important. When are you coming back to China?”

“Why do you ask? Is something wrong?”

“It’s nothing major. It’s just that your family has almost finished all the liquor you gave them!” Xiao Yang said with a hint of embarrassment.

Hearing Xiao Yang’s words, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but feel helpless. He knew that Xiao Yang had probably shown off his liquor to his colleagues or even to his superiors.

“I won’t be coming back for the time being, and even if I do, there won’t be any liquor left!”

“Heh, you’re really stingy!” Xiao Yang said before hanging up the phone.

Zhou Chao looked at the disconnected phone and burst into laughter, which made Xiao Yang feel both annoyed and delighted.

“Lin Wu!” He shouted loudly towards the outside.

Lin Wu quickly walked in.

“Boss, did you call me?”

“You go and call Dole, check on some planes. Tomorrow, we’re flying to Switzerland!”

“Sure thing, Boss!”
