Demons Beside You

The next day…

For the entire night, Chen Zhao and Blackie had been discussing how to revive a corpse.

Of course, it could revive in any form, even if some parts had to be changed.

Chen Zhao and Blackie were only looking for a breakthrough, a breakthrough in resurrection and also in their own abilities.

Actually, it was not resurrection in the real sense.

Chen Zhao and Blackie had added many magical elements, such as changing the brain, combining souls, and making a stronger heart.

It was more like Frankenstein. They were trying to create a new kind of Frankenstein.

…

After breakfast, Chen Zhao boarded the speedboat and rushed to Geya Island.

Halfway there, a wave suddenly splashed toward the speedboat.

A yacht sailed past Chen Zhao. The yacht was pretty fast, thirty meters long and had three floors. From its look, it should have been custom made.

Standing on the deck, a man in a white shirt shouted, “Roar… Kid, how was the wave?”

Chen Zhao glanced at the man and pointed a middle finger at him. “F**k off.”

“Haha…” The man in the white shirt laughed.

Chen Zhao’s speedboat and the yacht reached the dock almost at the same time. More than a dozen men walked down from the yacht, carrying various items for the man in the white shirt.

“Hey, kid, get outta the way.”

It was only a temporary dock built by the crew, so the path was rather narrow.

Realizing that they were carrying so much stuff, Chen Zhao did not want to make life difficult for them. He turned his body sideways so that they could pass first.

When the man in the white shirt walked past Chen Zhao, he suddenly attempted to push Chen Zhao into the sea.

But he could not move Chen Zhao. Frowning, Chen Zhao similarly pushed the man heavily.

“Ah… You dare to push me?!” the man roared.

His men also put down the boxes and lifted their sleeves, ready to fight.

Chen Zhao was the kind of person that would make way but not yield.

In such a circumstance, he would show no mercy.

Soon, he threw everyone into the sea.

“Kid, trust me, I’ll get you kicked out of this place!” the man still shouted to Chen Zhao in the sea.

Chen Zhao pointed the middle finger at the man again and turned to leave.

When he arrived at the crew, James came to welcome him.

“Chen, you’re really early today.”

“I’m just scared that you’ll throw cakes at me again.”

“Amon’s scenes will start later, so you didn’t have to come this early.”

“What? Then why did Steven call me just now and ask me to come early?”

“I think he’s probably playing with you,” James said, helpless.

Given how close they were as friends, Chen Zhao did not complain much.

Steven had yet to arrive. He was probably filming at another site.

Just then, the man in the white shirt came. Completely wet, he stared at Chen Zhao in anger.

“Mr. Libel, welcome,” James said immediately.

“This goddamn bastard just threw me into the sea! James, I want you to fire him! Now, immediately!” Libel roared in madness.

“Sorry, I’m not in charge of that.” James would not give Libel any face.

While Libel was the lead for the film, he was only a second-tier star in Hollywood.

It was Steven’s filming location, not a place for him to be arrogant.

“If you don’t fire him, I won’t act!” Libel shouted.

“As you wish,” James sneered.

He knew that Libel had many bad habits. In the past, he had often heard of Libel being big-headed.

But Libel had to see the occasion. Not every crew or person would tolerate him.

To be fair, Steven could be much nastier than Libel.

“James, you trying to protect him? Do you know what you’re doing?” Libel said, his face darkening.

Originally, he thought that the crew would agree to all his requests.

Moreover, the Chinese man was only part of the normal staff.

Libel did not expect James to protect the person and offend him instead.

“I know what I’m doing. Mind your own business.”

“You’ll regret it,” Libel said, gritting his teeth.

Then, he left with his men.

“Chen, forget about him. He’s of no threat to you.”

“I know.” Chen Zhao did not really care about Libel. “Find a place for me. I didn’t sleep last night, so I’m going to sleep now. Call me when you need me.”

“Okay, how about the prop storage tent?”

“Sure,” Chen Zhao nodded.

James brought Chen Zhao to the prop tent and got a recliner for him.

Chen Zhao thanked James and fell asleep on the recliner.

Soon, someone entered the tent. Sensing someone around, Chen Zhao opened his eyes and realized that it was Lucy.

“Hey, Lucy.”

“Chen.” Lucy looked at Chen Zhao with a smile. “I heard from Mr. James that you’re here.”

Lucy was smartly dressed up in her costume. She had some makeup on her face, but she looked somewhat awkward.

“Did I disturb you?”

“No.” Chen Zhao smiled. Clearly, he could tell her the truth.

Just then, Libel lifted the curtains. He was stunned when he saw Chen Zhao.

“Why are you here?”

He saw Lucy enter the tent, so he planned to spend some time alone with her.

He obviously did not expect Chen Zhao to be there too.

“What’s wrong with me being here?”

“Scram! This is not where you should be.”

“The one who should scram is you,” Chen Zhao said with a dark face.

“Asshole, do you really think that I can’t do anything to you?” Libel’s look was as scary as a venomous snake.

“I would love to see what you can do to me.”

“Don’t think that you’re safe just because James is protecting you. He’s but an assistant director. In this crew, there are people who are more powerful than him.”

Libel looked at Lucy with some confidence. “Ms. Lucy, cooperate with me later.”

“What?” Lucy was confused. Cooperate to do what?

Why would I cooperate with you? Are we even close?

Suddenly, Libel lifted the curtains and shouted, “Help! Someone is harassing Ms. Lucy here!”

Chen Zhao was startled, so was Lucy.

What a sick play…
