Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

Portia was speechless about Chen Zhao's daily routine.

Chen Zhao spent most of his time basking in the sun.

Occasionally, I heard that he received calls from one or two clients and went to see them.

But Chen Zhao had never taken her to see a client.

However, she knew that Chen Zhao charged at least one million dollars each time.

Chen Zhao looked dismissive of this.

Those figures that can almost drive Portia crazy, for Chen Zhao, are not even as good as his income from doing nothing for a day.

At other times, Chen Zhao basically takes his children out shopping.

Because Christmas is coming soon, Chen Zhao and his family have many things to buy.

Fali's lifeguard's job has become easier, too.

Due to the recent cold weather, the number of tourists on Angel Coast has dropped sharply.

Of course, this also reduces the tasks of the Coast Guard.

Most people can spend a happy Christmas with peace of mind.

So Fali also started a shopping spree.

Portia's biggest daily workload is not going shopping with their family.

Instead, they packed up the things they bought in the living room.

After lunch, Chen Zhao and his family enjoyed a quiet and contented time.

"Portia, has Revula contacted you recently?" Chen Zhao asked.

"Speak with me on the phone once." Portia took the time to respond: "Boss, if Jefla is in trouble, will you help?"

"If it's convenient, yes." Chen Zhao said, "After all, it's very difficult to find an assistant as good as her."

"Boss, don't you think it's too much to say this in front of me?"

"If you complained less every time you worked, you would be pretty good."

"But as your assistant, my daily work is almost like a coolie."

"But Jevora never complained."

"She is a killer. She might be thinking about how to kill you."

Portia now doesn't mind teasing her about Jevora's past identity.

Chen Zhao rolled his eyes. Refla's past career was much nobler than that of a killer.

It can even be said to maintain world peace.

Jefla is the kind of person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

On the surface, he treats everyone thousands of miles away, even Chen Zhao, and is slightly nicer to Portia.

But in fact, Revla is still a person full of justice in her heart.

And Jefla is very attentive.

A completely different personality from the thick and bulky Portia.

Of course, this is also related to Jevora's past work and career.

As a dragon slayer, if you are not careful and patient enough, it will not only affect the success or failure of the action.

At the same time, you may put yourself and your team members in danger.

…

A knock on the door woke Morocco Bic awake.

He has been on the run for a month.

Since his release, he has been continuously hunted.

He didn't know who was hunting him.

But he realized one thing clearly.

If caught, he's dead.

Morocco Bik immediately escaped from the back door of the room.

He's in a motel room now.

This is also where Morocco Bic spends most of his time.

But as soon as he went out the back door, he heard footsteps.

Morocco Bik didn't even think about it and rushed straight into the dense forest behind him.

Morocco Bic looked back at the people behind him.

It can be clearly identified that these people are gang members.

At this moment, Morocco Bik suddenly began to miss his life in prison.

But he suddenly thought about what happened in Los Angeles No. 7 Prison, and he suddenly lost his mind again.

Horrible things have been happening in the seventh prison recently.

Morocco Bic didn't know who was chasing him.

He offended too many people outside.

In this way, with confused thinking, Morocco Bic kept running away.

But he was too tired. He didn't eat anything today.

Yesterday I went to a Burger King and only ate one leftover burger that someone else had eaten.

This is the daily life of a desperado like him.

Not even a bum.

Real desperadoes are not the kind of people in movies who can go around looking carefree.

Most of the desperadoes live in precarious situations and live in constant fear.

Most of the time I don’t even dare to go out in the sun.

As for Morocco, Bik not only ate less, but also had no time to sleep.

His total sleep time in the past week has not exceeded twelve hours.

In other words, the average sleep time per day is no more than two hours.

Morocco. Bic's physical strength began to fail to keep up.

The footsteps behind him were obviously getting closer, but Morocco Bic's consciousness became increasingly blurred.

Finally, Morocco Bik felt a strong body knocking him down.

It was a bearded man, even bigger than him.

Then Morocco Bic fainted.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on the cold and damp floor.

The room was a bit empty, with only one table, and a big bald man sitting in front of the table, devouring food.

Morocco Bic recognized this man.

The underground king of Los Angeles, Mowgli the Boar King.

Morocco. Bic met Mowgli.

But Mowgli had never seen him.

Morocco Bic knew very clearly that he had no connection with Mowgli, the Wild Boar King.

Therefore, he didn't understand why he was captured by this man.

Mowgli stuffed a three-layer beef burger into his mouth, chewed it for a few bites and then swallowed it.

Then he stood up and walked in front of Morocco Bic: "Damn bastard, do you know how much manpower I spent trying to catch you? How much time wasted? You made me, the underground king of Los Angeles, lose face. It actually took me twenty-three days to catch you."

Morocco Bic was so frightened that he moved to the corner: "Mr. Mowgli, I...I have never offended you."

"I was entrusted by someone. I promised my friend that he would see you within three days, but he came back from traveling abroad and didn't see you yet. You made my promise change. It's worthless," Mowgli said angrily.

Morocco. Bic began to worry again. Who is going to catch him?

At this moment, the door to the room opened and a figure walked in.

Morocco Bic's original panic suddenly calmed down.

Why is it him? Chen Zhao!

His former cellmate.

When Chen Zhao arrived, Mowgli went up and gave him a warm hug.

Chen Zhao and Mowgli have almost no contact.

Only during holidays, Chen Zhao and Mowgli would silently send each other a message.

In Mowgli's heart, Chen Zhao is the person he trusts the most, and perhaps the only person he can trust.

And he also keeps a good distance, and they are silently paying attention to each other's growth and personal development.

"Mowgli, greet me differently next time."
