When the International Court of Arbitration for Sport announced that it had accepted Chen Hero’s application for arbitration, all hell broke loose inside the English Football Association.

They never imagined that Chen Hero would actually have the guts to do this.

"Damn it! Chen Hero, that son of a bitch! Dekura, that son of a bitch! Liverpool, that son of a bitch!! They are all a bunch of sons of bitches!!!"

Apart from venting with curses, they had no other way. They had already received a letter from the International Court of Arbitration for Sport and now they had to submit a statement of defense within the time limit set by the secretariat of the International Court of Arbitration for Sport.

At this time, the International Court of Arbitration for Sport, after confirming that both parties had received formal notice from the arbitrator, began to organize the arbitration panel.

In other words, the arbitration process had officially begun. And with the International Olympic Committee’s covetousness of FIFA, the efficiency would definitely be higher, and it would be dealt with in the most earnest manner. For the English Football Association, this was definitely not a good thing.

Because the International Olympic Committee behind the International Court of Arbitration for Sport was not easy to deal with.

Despite the cursing, the English Football Association still had to actively prepare to respond to the lawsuit.

The main evidence was the video of the game at the time, the match report of the referee on duty, and the testimony of the victim, Paul Gruul.

This evidence could be described as ironclad. After the initial panic, the English Football Association quickly calmed down. They believed that in the face of this evidence, it was impossible for Chen Hero to turn the tables.

If the International Court of Arbitration for Sport insisted on ruling in favor of Chen Hero, it would damage the impartiality and authority of the International Court of Arbitration for Sport.

And these two things were the foundation of the International Court of Arbitration for Sport, and also the main reason why the International Olympic Committee could act like a whore and still erect a monument to chastity.

The English Football Association believed that although the International Olympic Committee wanted to interfere in FIFA affairs, it would not sacrifice the authority of the International Court of Arbitration for Sport, which it had worked so hard to establish, for the sake of Chen Hero.

In fact, not only the English Football Association thought so, but many media outlets also thought so.

Unless Chen Hero could produce more powerful evidence, even if he went to the International Court of Arbitration for Sport, he would still have a hard time escaping death.

The evidence was too unfavorable to him.

He said that Paul Gruul had insulted his son, but he could not produce specific content or any other form of evidence to prove what he said.

So the most critical thing was evidence.

"Dekura took this matter to the International Court of Arbitration for Sport, which is commendable for his courage, but very stupid. After doing this, how does he expect the English Football Association to treat Chen Hero? This is considered a break with the English Football Association, but the team he is in still has to play under the English Football Association... They may be caught with new handles at any time..."

"If Dekura is just using the appeal to the International Court of Arbitration for Sport to blackmail the English Football Association, then there is still room for maneuver in this matter. According to insiders, just after he said this, the English Football Association contacted Liverpool Football Club, saying that the ban on Chen Hero could still be discussed. But at that time, Dekura had already submitted the application. This cut off his only bargaining chip with the English Football Association. Since it has come to this point, the English Football Association will naturally not negotiate anything, everyone will meet in court..."

"Actually, what the media said is right." Dekura said to Chen Hero, holding a newspaper. The view expressed in the newspaper was the "bargaining chip theory" mentioned above.

"They are right for once. But I won’t use this to exchange anything with them." It was Chen Hero’s decision to file an application for arbitration with the International Court of Arbitration for Sport. Dekura had previously been inclined to negotiate terms with the English Football Association.

"Besides, do you think an organization that has been dedicated to smearing me for more than ten years can give me a satisfactory answer?"

"Of course. But in this case, evidence is very important."

Chen Hero looked at Dekura and smiled: "I know you have a way."

Yeah, who was Dekura? He was something that simply didn’t exist on this planet... What means didn’t he have?

Dekura scratched his head: "Fortunately, I didn’t let you down."

"So you got the evidence?"

"I got a phone recording of him calling a friend to show off," Dekura said calmly.

The expression on Chen Hero’s face changed!

This was too beneficial! What he said himself was more effective than ten thousand sentences from others!

"A total of six calls, he made to six different people, bragging about his glorious moments in that game, bragging about how he humiliated you, and he repeated what he said at the time six times. Once for each person."

Chen Hero smiled happily: "That little bastard son of a bitch! He’s dead!"

But he suddenly thought of a problem.

"Is the source of this phone recording normal?"

"I asked the police for help."

Chen Hero looked at him with surprised eyes: "When did you become so popular in the state apparatus?"

"Just an exchange of benefits."

"Did you send money to the police?"

Dekura said casually: "I just told him that if he didn't help me, I would send the video of him and his secretary screwing in seven hotel rooms to The Sun. I believe the tabloids would be interested in the scandalous news of a superintendent..."

Chen Hero was stunned.

He didn't expect Dekura to have such a trick up his sleeve. It wasn't that he doubted whether Dekura had the ability to do this. In fact, Dekura definitely had the ability. He could even directly obtain the call records of that son of a bitch, but in order to make the process of him obtaining this record more legal, he went around in a circle.

What surprised him was that Dekura was able to think of using this method...

"You are so despicable, Dekura!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Hero."

"You're welcome."

Now Chen Hero was in a great mood.

With this call record, it was the most powerful evidence.

"In addition, I also found that Paul Gruul is a fan with a criminal record. He once rushed into the stadium during a game three years ago and insulted Manchester United players. It's just that he was lucky that time and was only taken away by the police. In addition, he also has a criminal record, having been jailed for a year and a half for street fighting... These records all show that Paul Gruul is not a good thing. I believe these things will also help the arbitration court make the right decision."

"Of course, it couldn't be better!" Chen Hero was very happy. This not only restored his innocence, but most importantly, he would be able to reduce his ban period through this and continue to contribute to the team.

He stood up and gave Dekura a hug—he had never done this kind of action to Dekura, a non-human, before.

So Dekura was a little surprised. In Chen Hero's embrace, his body was a little stiff.

"Thank you, Dekura."

Chen Hero rarely said thank you to Dekura.

Dekura felt Chen Hero's heart and then smiled.

"When I found you, I just hoped that someone could bring out the best in this thing of mine. You have done well enough, Hero, far beyond my imagination. Even after the system disappeared, you still performed extremely well. So maybe I should be the one saying thank you," he said to Chen Hero.

Chen Hero laughed loudly: "Haha, let's not praise each other!"

Dekura also laughed heartily.

After laughing, Dekura said to Chen Hero: "The arbitration court should notify us of the method of hearing in a few days. Generally, there are two types: written hearing and oral hearing. A written hearing means that both parties do not appear in court and the hearing and final ruling can be conducted only based on the written documents and supporting materials provided by both parties. An oral hearing means you go to Lausanne and sing a duet with the people from the English Football Association."

Chen Hero chose to sing a duet without hesitation.

"It's also a pleasure to defeat them face-to-face, watch them lose their minds, jump over the wall in desperation, and then go completely crazy."

Anyway, Chen Hero shouldn't expect to participate in this season's games. He now had plenty of time to play with the English Football Association slowly.

Then Dekura and Chen Hero discussed the specific itinerary and arrangements, and then bid farewell and left.

Cabrera took his son to the Liverpool youth football training camp. Chen Hero stayed alone because he was going to meet Dekura.

Now that things were settled, the bored Chen Hero decided to turn on the TV. He wanted to see what the media thought of his decision to appeal to the International Court of Arbitration for Sport.

He turned on the TV and started changing channels in order. If he found a channel discussing his matter, he would stop and watch for a few minutes.

After watching this circle, most media outlets were not optimistic about Chen Hero's approach.

Their reasons were the same, that was, Chen Hero lacked convincing evidence. If he couldn't produce it, then his actions were unforgivable and he would be severely punished. Even the International Court of Arbitration for Sport could do nothing.

But as long as Chen Hero could produce this evidence, then he could turn the situation around and prove that he did make excessive moves because he was provoked in this way. In this way, the International Court of Arbitration for Sport, which was trying hard to help him, also had an excuse. They could fully consider this matter and use it as a reason to reduce Chen Hero's sentence.

Moreover, once this evidence was produced, the direction of world public opinion would turn in his favor. After all, disaster shouldn't befall family members. It was unacceptable to indiscriminately insult an innocent child, no matter what.

With the boost of public opinion, Chen Hero would definitely get a reduced sentence.

But the question was, could Chen Hero produce the evidence?

A photo of Paul Gruul appeared on the TV screen. The host of the TV program said next to it: "Gruul swears that he absolutely did not insult Chen Hero's son. He was just an ordinary personal attack. He said that even if he cursed Chen Hero himself, he shouldn't have broken three ribs and be lying on the hospital bed unable to move..."

Looking at the photo of Paul Gruul on the screen, Chen Hero smiled happily.

"You showy idiot, you dug a hole and buried yourself. You can be considered to have died in the right place!"
