Demons Beside You

Chen Zhao signed the contract with Felwood and paid him a deposit of three hundred thousand.

In three days’ time, Felwood’s team would officially start the construction.

His team would build everything, including the roads.

They would even make modifications to the scenery surrounding the main building.

Chen Zhao did not need to do anything apart from visiting the construction site once in a while.

The estimated time needed for the construction was three months. If it was exceeded, Chen Zhao would receive a compensation.

After they signed the contract, Felwood and Chen Zhao had a chat.

Chen Zhao got to know Felwood a bit better during the conversation.

Felwood’s company was a really small one with a registered capital of just two million.

They had little competitiveness in the sector. Usually, they were lucky to even receive a project worth tens or hundreds of thousand dollars.

Anyway, they would do whatever that could get them profit.

Robio was the architect, the only architect, in his company.

Of course, Robio was more like a helper. He had no share in the company and would not really get paid.

The project that Chen Zhao was offering them was already a big one.

By building a villa that cost more than a million, Felwood could earn at least two hundred thousand for himself.

It seemed like Chen Zhao could earn a hundred thousand dollars very easily. In fact, his income was already very high.

Of course, Chen Zhao worked in the gray area. Nobody would care about him unless there was a problem.

Moreover, he did not have a standard or stable income.

On the other hand, despite having opened his company for a few years, Felwood had yet to earn the cost back.

Therefore, he was exceptionally enthusiastic toward Chen Zhao’s project.

The project would be a hot one even among larger construction companies.

They might even offer him a discount, which was something that small companies could not provide.

Nevertheless, Chen Zhao did not want to do that. Robio had designed his house for free, after all.

If Chen Zhao were to hire an architect himself, he would have to spend about 5% of the total cost, according to the market price.

Robio was already doing him a big favor by designing his house for free.

Hence, Chen Zhao would not mind helping Robio back.

…

“Chen, I left the keys to the warehouse at home. Can you deliver them here?” Fali called Chen Zhao.

“No problem.”

Just then, the Silly Twins bolted in. “Master, are you going to the beach? Angel Beach?”

Chen Zhao’s cheeks twitched. Why are you two so excited when I’m just going there to send things?

“Master, bring us there.”

“Master, please. I’ll pick up as many coins as I can.”

Unable to dissuade the Silly Twins, Chen Zhao had no choice but to bring them along. This being the case, he also had to bring Beelzebub, Raymond, Carrie and Obitos.

Leaving them at home by themselves would mean a terrible disaster for his furniture, especially Obitos. He would literally turn the house upside down if there was nobody to watch him.

Chen Zhao had a difficult time flagging a cab. He had to promise the driver two hundred dollars before he could finally bring his pets in.

Chen Zhao thought about whether he should really get a driving license and a car.

Otherwise, it would be very inconvenient to bring his pets around.

Many a time, he could not even flag a cab, especially at night. If he came out from his client’s house late at night, he might have to walk a long distance before he could get a cab.

If he was going to buy a car, it must first of all be big enough.

For example, the car that he was in at the moment could barely fit the Silly Twins.

He still had to place Obitos in the trunk and carry Beelzebub and Carrie in his arms.

“Here we are.”

When Chen Zhao was still thinking, they arrived at their destination.

He alighted from the car with his pet family. Immediately, they attracted countless strange stares.

As usual, the Silly Twins ran wild at once.

They automatically entered their pay-to-photo mode. In particular, they attracted many children on the beach.

Chen Zhao went to the Coastal Rescue Team HQ and found Fali.

To be honest, given that Fali was the prettiest lady in the Coastal Rescue Team, many men were unhappy when they saw her being hugged by Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao and Fali openly displayed their affection toward each other, as if there was no one around.

“Fali, is this your boyfriend? I thought he was an illegal doctor?”

A half-naked man approached Chen Zhao and Fali.

The two of them stared at the man with a weird look. Fali frowned. “Claude, what do you want?”

Claude smiled with confidence. He had quite an elegant demeanor before Fali.

“Fali, I only think that maybe it’s time for your boyfriend to exercise. He might not even be as strong as you.”

Chen Zhao and Fali both rolled their eyes. They had stayed in the same house for so long, not to mention that Fali had obviously tried Chen Zhao’s physical strength.

As for why Claude had said so, everyone knew the reason.

“Fali, why did you find an Asian as your boyfriend?”

“Can he satisfy you?”

Snap. Chen Zhao tore his shirt off right away, displaying his excellent shape and powerful muscles. He had no extra flesh on his body at all.

“Come. Anyone who thinks that I’m not strong enough can challenge me in anything.”

“Wow, his muscles are beautiful!” The few female lifeguards stared at Chen Zhao’s muscles with their eyes glittering, as if they were wolves which just saw a huge piece of meat.

Fali widened her eyes at Chen Zhao. Then, she patted his chest gently and said with dissatisfaction, “Stop showing off.”

She knew how messy Chen Zhao’s private life had been in the past.

If he was targeted by these female lifeguards, he might just return to his old lifestyle.

Claude would not admit defeat. Indeed, he felt even more jealous when he saw Chen Zhao and Fali flirt with each other before him.

He had a strong body too. After all, he was a lifeguard.

Moreover, he was a few centimeters taller than Chen Zhao, so he would clearly not retreat so easily.

“Let’s arm wrestle. Which hand do you want? I’ll let you choose,” Claude said confidently.

“Sure. Left hand then.”

Claude had been provoking Chen Zhao right before his girlfriend. How could he not fight back?

Moreover, Chen Zhao had to display himself, given that there were so many ladies present.

Chen Zhao and Claude came before a table. A lady walked up and placed their hands in position.

“Are you ready?” the lady asked.

Chen Zhao and Claude both nodded, “Yes.”

“Three, two, one, start!”

Claude immediately grabbed onto a table leg to help him exert more force. On the other hand, Chen Zhao looked very relaxed and showed no intention of grabbing anything.

He continued to hold his arm vertical, not moving to the left or the right.
