Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"Refla, are you sure you don't want to take a rest?"

Jevola saw Portia dragging her tired body back, and her face didn't seem to be good.

"Portia, what's wrong? You don't seem to look well."

"I was scolded by my boss."

"Why? Did you do something wrong?"

"No, I think he is just deliberately looking for trouble."

"Why is he looking for trouble?"

Portia recounted what happened at noon today.

"Tell me, how could that woman be a bad person?"

Jefla thought for a moment and said, "That woman is really not a good person. You have been plotted."

"What? How is that possible?"

"It can be said that it was a coincidence that she suddenly stopped on the highway and then rear-ended you, but her phone happened to be broken, and your phone happened to be broken, and your boss later proved that your phone had been tampered with. , this shows that there is really something wrong with that woman, and you have indeed fallen into a trap."

"Is this really true?" Portia was a little stunned.

Jefla nodded: "That's true. Your boss didn't wrong you. Although you are innocent, in fact you did cause trouble for your boss."

Hearing what Jevora said, Portia became even more depressed.

"Did that woman go to your boss's house and just make a phone call?"

"It seems so." Portia nodded.

"Didn't you do anything else?"

"The boss seemed to have discovered something was wrong with her at the first sight. The woman stayed at the boss's house for a few minutes. I could tell that she was very nervous."

Revla glanced at Portia: "When you find that woman is nervous, you should sense that there is a problem...forget it, if you sense that there is a problem, it will be more dangerous."

"Am I useless?"

"That's not true. After all, your boss himself is responsible for this matter. It has nothing to do with you. You are also innocent."

"It makes me feel better if you say that."

Portia looked at Revla: "Are you sure you don't want to go get some sleep? You haven't slept all night."

"I've also experienced longer periods of sleeplessness."

"Refla, what do you do? Are you really a killer or an agent like the boss said?"

"Don't ask, it won't do you any good." Jevola said calmly.

"What's so great? I've also been exposed to it. I often encounter this kind of thing when I'm with our boss."

"Does this happen often around your boss?"

"How should I put it? I have been working for my boss for more than two months and have encountered similar things three or four times."

"It seems that your boss is also very tired." Refla smiled.

"I'm also surprised that the boss's business seems to be quite formal, so why do things like this always happen?"

"What kind of business does your boss do?"

"It produces and sells beer." Portia said: "Our boss is the major shareholder of Dashan Beer, which is very popular on the market now."

Portia only found out about this recently.

Gaia had told her before that Chen Zhao's business was involved in the beverage category.

But Portia didn’t expect it to be Dashan Beer at that time.

It wasn't until later when she got the financial statements from Citibank that she realized how rich Chen Zhao was.

There are such huge assets and amazing income.

She didn't think Chen Zhao needed to be involved in any illegal industry.

Chen Zhao is really very rich, and his current cash deposits can even be negotiated with banks.

Ask the bank to give him a higher interest rate.

After all, this cash is stored in the bank, and the bank makes a lot of money.

Banks can use this money to invest funds and seek more benefits.

Not to mention making some high-risk investments, even if you just buy high-security funds, your income will be much more than the interest given by the bank.

In the United States, there are two types of customers that banks like best.

One is the high-consumption type, which involves applying for a large number of credit cards at the bank, spending a lot of money every month, and being able to repay the money stably at the same time.

The other type is Chen Zhao, who keeps astronomical amounts of cash in the bank.

You know, an ordinary person can be treated like a king when he deposits several thousand dollars in a bank.

What's more, someone like Chen Zhao can easily spend hundreds of millions of dollars.

Moreover, Chen Zhao's spending power is also quite amazing. The credit card given to Chen Zhao by Citibank is also the highest grade, which is the legendary black card.

Legend has it that banks can meet all the requirements of black card customers, even if the request is unreasonable.

In fact, it's not that awesome. At most, it just meets some reasonable requirements.

If Chen Zhao wants to open a secondary card, he doesn't need to go to the bank. Andrews will personally bring the card to Chen Zhao.

If the bank does not give a higher interest rate, Chen Zhao only needs to say that he will change his deposit and business operations to another bank, and Andrews will probably lose his job.

Therefore, in Portia's eyes, Chen Zhao's wealth has eliminated the need for him to engage in any illegal business.

Unless Chen Zhao sells nuclear warheads, it is impossible for him to make more than he does now.

Even those wealthy people listed on Forbes may have higher assets than Chen Zhao.

But when it comes to making money quickly, Chen Zhao may not be slower than them, or even worse.

When Revla first heard Portia talk about Chen Zhao, her impression was not very good.

Mainly because Portia didn't have a good word to say about Chen Zhao.

However, after contacting him, she found that Chen Zhao was not that bad.

At least, if Portia were some gang boss and made such a mistake, it wouldn't be as simple as just scolding her.

Perhaps what is waiting for Portia is to disappear from the world.

Instead of giving Portia time to complain.

This shows that Chen Zhao is really good to Portia.

At least it shows that Chen Zhao has a bottom line when doing things.

Jefla knew very well how easy it was for a rich and powerful person to make an ordinary person disappear from the world.

Fortunately, Portia met Chen Zhao. If she had had another boss, she would have died countless times.

At this moment, Jefla's phone rang again.

"Portia, prepare dinner tonight." With that said, Jevora went to answer the phone.

Gevra went back inside, glancing outside to make sure Portia wasn't eavesdropping on her phone.

"I'm Gevra, Elex, any news?"

"Jevra, we may be in big trouble. There were alarms at the Los Angeles Airport and the Los Angeles train station today."

"Alarm? Two alarms?"

"That's right, and it's not an alarm to leave, but dragons have entered Los Angeles twice! In other words, two more dragons have arrived in downtown Los Angeles."
