Demons Beside You

Chapter 423: Evil Intention

After Tiger left, Chen Zhao brought Samuel to the supermarket in town.

“Hey, Chen, you here again for dog food?” Every time, Chen Zhao would fill the cart with various dog foods. The staff in the pets section have known him for a long time.

Chen Zhao’s pets would often appear in town, and many people also knew where his house was. After all, if they went to Mirror Lake, it was impossible to miss such a huge house.

Mirror Lake was now private property, but Chen Zhao did not forbid people from entering. Those who were not invited or his friends could still play near the lake, as long as they did not enter the villa zone.

“Yeah.”

“Every time, the manager will praise me because the products here are sold extremely fast. He probably doesn’t know that you buy most of them. Actually, have you been eating dog food yourself?” the employee teased.

“F**k,” Chen Zhao said. “If you want to try them, I’ll treat you for a year.”

Meow!

“Human, become my servant. You shall enjoy my kindness.”

“Chen, does your cat like me? He shouts at me every time.”

“Yes.” Chen Zhao grabbed Samuel’s neck and lifted him into the air. He does that to everyone…

As Chen Zhao left the checkout counter with a large number of items, he did not notice two pairs of eyes staring at him.

“That Chinese looks rich.”

“I heard he owns a huge villa near Mirror Lake.”

Marion and Trigly were gangsters in town and frequent visitors to the police station.

Nevertheless, they had never been kept for more than two days. Such gangsters could be found in almost every town and they would never reduce in number.

Human society was really weird. It always seemed to be full of special characters, both good and bad.

“I heard Chinese are really timid,” Marion said.

Trigly’s eyes glittered. They were strapped for cash again.

To them, as long as they could get money, they would do anything.

“Go. The same method,” Trigly said.

Experienced, Marion walked up and collided with Chen Zhao’s cart.

“Ah…” Marion screamed.

Before Chen Zhao could react, he knocked Marion onto the floor and pushed the cart onto Marion’s body.

Chen Zhao quickly pulled the cart back. With twenty packs of dog food in it, the cart was quite heavy.

It was obvious that the person had deliberately run into his cart. Chen Zhao was not that easy to deceive.

As he pulled the cart back, Marion screamed again.

“What have you done?!” Trigly charged forward and pushed Chen Zhao.

“I need a doctor… I need a doctor…”

Looking at Marion’s realistic wailing, Trigly thought that Marion’s acting had improved greatly.

He had no idea that Marion was really in pain.

Marion was not only hit by the cart but also literally run over.

“Kid, how do you think we should settle this?” Trigly seized Chen Zhao’s collar.

“What do you want?” Chen Zhao asked back.

“Compensation. My buddy’s injured by you, so you either pay us or we’ll sue you till you’re bankrupt!” Trigly shouted angrily.

“How much do you want?”

“A hundred thousand!” Trigly shouted.

Chen Zhao grabbed a pack of dog food and flung it at Trigly’s head.

He did not dare to use his fist. With his current strength, he was unsure if he would kill Trigly in one punch.

“How much do you want again? Didn’t hear you properly.”

“You dare to hit me? Do you want to be sent back?!” Trigly roared.

“If I call the police now and tell them that you tried to extort a hundred thousand from me, who do you think the police will believe? I think it’s enough for you to stay in jail for three years.” Chen Zhao smiled gently.

Trigly and Marion were awake at once and even stopped yelping.

The police could not do much to them for small crimes. They would at most be detained for a few days before being freed.

As professional gangsters, they knew that there was a line they must not cross.

An example was stealing over a thousand dollars, which would lead to a criminal proceeding.

However, because Chen Zhao was a Chinese, they asked for a hundred thousand in their hotheadedness.

Of course, they knew that there was no way they would get that amount.

They thought that they would obtain at most one or two thousand dollars.

Clearly, they did not expect Chen Zhao to threaten them instead.

“Just you wait.” Trigly helped Marion up from the floor and they ran away.

Chen Zhao did not even bother to stop them. They were not the only gangsters in town.

It was also not the first time such a thing had happened.

The residents of Mountain Town were quite brave. While there were many onlookers, nobody called the police.

To them, it was only a small conflict.

They were glad that Chen Zhao had taught the two gangsters a lesson.

Whistling, Chen Zhao returned to his truck only to find one wheel missing and the windows were broken.

The culprits were obvious.

Chen Zhao roared at once, “Don’t let me catch you, or I’ll break your limbs!”

Gritting his teeth, Chen Zhao called for his truck to be towed to a repair shop.

Towing cost two hundred dollars, while the repair would also cost two or three hundred.

Although it was not a big amount, Chen Zhao was very displeased.

…

“Trigly, didn’t you say that Chinese are timid? Why did that asshole resist?” Marion complained.

“How would I know?”

“I can’t just leave like this.”

“What else do you want? We’ve already broken his truck,” Trigly said.

“That Chinese has such a nice house. There must be many valuable items inside. Let’s go there at night. We might just be lucky.”

“What if he sees us?”

“Bring our knives. If we’re really discovered…” Gloom flashed across Marion’s face. “We’ll stab him.”

“Seriously? If we’re found, we’ll be doomed,” Trigly said reluctantly.

“But if we find anything valuable, we’ll be rich.” Marion licked his lips. “Are you in or not?”

“Yes… But if we’re seen, we should run away if we can. We don’t have to kill.” Trigly was still hesitant.

After all, he had only committed small crimes in the past. He was used to being arrested into a police station.

Nonetheless, he really did not want to end up in jail.

If he killed someone, his life would be over.
