It's cheating, but Hazard

Chapter 24 The Coveted Genius
Charles didn't take the news from Spanish Channel 6 seriously.

If Real Madrid were willing to buy him, he could pack up and run away now.

No, there was no need to carry any luggage. I just carried my luggage and rushed to the Bernabeu by train overnight.

If Guardiola had not been a staunch Catalan, Charr would have been able to carry him along with him.

Let’s not talk about “recovering strength” or anything like that for now. The main thing is, who can stand going to the hospital every two or three days while staying in Barcelona?

The next day, Charles' hand was almost healed.

I just finished lunch, put on my gloves, and started reading today's newspaper.

Charles didn't take the news from Spanish Channel 6 seriously, but those media would not let go of such a hot topic.

Mundo Deportivo: "Florentino covets Barcelona's talent and is willing to use 'dishonourable' means to get him!"

Marca: "Laporta is a nepotist who has sent players to the hospital three times a month. Calderon is not alone."

"AS": "Barcelona's super bubble man - Charles, rushed to the hospital due to ink allergy."

……

Just as Charles was about to open a random copy and take a look, Begiristan pushed the door open.

Begiristain took the water poured by the assistant and said, "This matter is indeed the club's problem. The logistics and purchasing person in the printing room resigned not long ago."

"We have always had a stable supplier of ink, but the new temporary workers resold the supplier's ink and bought inferior ink to pass it off as genuine ink."

Begiristan rubbed his temple and said, "If you hadn't been implicated, we wouldn't have discovered this situation."

"This temporary worker graduated from the University of Madrid."

"Regarding the matter of tomatoes, no clues have been found yet."

"All the support staff have been working at Barcelona for decades and are mostly Catalans."

"The inside story of Barcelona and Real Madrid has not been completely uncovered yet. For your safety, our club has arranged a special chef and assistant for you."

"They will be responsible for the safekeeping and care of all your jerseys, shoes and other equipment at Barcelona, ​​as well as the purchase and cooking of ingredients..."

"Of course, most importantly, we have hired an expert in over-immunization to serve as Barca's team doctor."

"Their wages are all paid by the club."

After saying this, Begiristan took a sip of water, opened his briefcase, and took out an advertising contract.

"This is an endorsement of HP ink. You will definitely not be allergic to it."

Ciel held out his gloved hand.

Just a quick glance.

I was surprised when I saw the reward.

Although his heart is with Real Madrid.

But there is no way, Barcelona gave too much!

"I see, thank you, Mr. Chairman," Charles nodded.

Begiristan grinned, "Vice Chairman, Vice Chairman. Oh, by the way, the TV interview that was previously scheduled has been postponed. How about going to see it tonight?"

"Sir, I have no problem and am available anytime."

"well……"

It's evening soon.

There is a "time difference" between Spain's regulated time and the natural schedule of Spanish people.

Although it is already six o'clock in the evening, the sun is still shining brightly.

After arriving at the "Hat Trick" program crew and letting the makeup artist fiddle with her, the so-called TV interview began soon.

The host had a proper smile on his face. "Welcome to watch tonight's live broadcast of "Hat Trick". Tonight, our special guest is Charles from Barcelona..."

"Charles, say hello to everyone."...

After a lot of boring preparations, the host's voice suddenly deepened, "Yesterday, Ciel was rushed to the hospital due to an allergic reaction to ink."

"When everyone was in a state of panic, Barcelona's top management did not let the 'traitor' take advantage of the situation. Instead, they followed the clues and found the 'culprit' who put Charles in the hospital."

"This afternoon, several media outlets reported that the 'culprit' - an intern who passed himself off as a genuine employee - admitted that he was instructed by Real Madrid."

"The people who ordered him to print a lot of papers that 'cursed' Charles, and hide them in places where Charles often moved around."

"...Charles, when you were in Barcelona, ​​did you often encounter unreasonable things?"

Charles didn't know what to say for a moment.

This line is not in the script.

It’s unreasonable - Guardiola wants him to start every day, I don’t know if this counts.

"I was doing well at Barcelona - but I still don't know what pa amb tomàquet feels like, so I went to the hospital to take medicine."

"From then on, tomatoes and eggplants disappeared from my table - even though I used to eat them often."

"I can't eat tomato-based pasta, I can't have tomatoes in my soup, I can't even put ketchup on my chips."

"After coming to Barcelona, ​​many things seem to have changed dramatically..."

"Now I am starting to lose confidence and start to doubt myself. I don't know when I will end up in the hospital."

"But I believe Real Madrid is not such a black-hearted club."

"Football is beautiful and competition is honorable."

"Real Madrid will not resort to such dishonourable means."

After all, he still has to go to Real Madrid, so we can't be too decisive.

"…Maybe the 'temporary worker' was deceived."

The host couldn't help but sigh, "Charles, you really are too kind-hearted."

The live broadcast ended soon.

Charles wiped the non-existent sweat from his head and took the bus back home.

It was almost 11 o'clock in the evening when I got home, and the sun had just set.

Jacques has returned to Benedetto.

Come home and turn on the lights.

Apart from him, the room was bright and empty.

Charles took the midnight snack, sat on the sofa and turned on the TV.

The news about Real Madrid was being broadcast on TV.

The TV host said, "While Charles was on live TV, a Real Madrid spokesperson also refuted the so-called "wizard curse."

"The current Real Madrid president, Boruda, said, 'Real Madrid sympathizes with Charles's experience, but Real Madrid has never instructed Barcelona's temporary workers to curse Charles.'"

"'It's all nonsense, Barcelona are throwing mud to cover up their own internal problems.'"

"…If Real Madrid really hires a 'temporary worker', the candidate is likely to be 'Florentino' or 'Villalonga'."

"After Boluda made it clear that he would not participate in the next presidential election, the two most active candidates are suspected of being involved in this matter, just to tie Charles to his chariot and canvass votes for himself."

"No club can resist a player who is better than Figo, especially when he comes from a rival club."

Texan is the vice president of Barcelona and is in charge of competitive affairs.

This kind of thing should not be his responsibility, but since I couldn’t find any other vice chairman’s name, I used him instead.
