Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"It has an aura similar to that of an angel's blessing," Samael said.

Chen Zhao picked up the peace knot, and Samael stretched out his claws to grab the peace knot: "It is contaminated with the woman's own spiritual power, that's why this woman is so weak."

Chen Zhao thought, could Li Qing be a charlatan or something like that?

The aura that resembles an angel's blessing may be a spell or something.

However, making this peace knot must have consumed her own energy, so these symptoms may appear.

"Sister Qing, see if this thing is useful." The moment Chen Zhao took out the angel crystal, Samael immediately jumped away from Chen Zhao's arms.

A trace of surprise flashed in Li Qing's eyes: "You want to give this to me? Isn't this very expensive?"

"Sister Qing, take it, it's useless for me to keep it anyway."

"Mr. Chen, this thing is very valuable."

"Sister Qing, since you recognize this thing, you must know its purpose. Anyway, it is more useful than leaving it in my hands. Take it."

Li Qing's eyes flickered, biting his lower lip and saying, "Okay, I'll keep it for now. If Mr. Chen wants to go back in the future, come and pick it up from me."

"What is this stone? It looks beautiful. Is it valuable?"

"Go away, don't have money involved in everything."

Perhaps it was because after Chen Zhao came to the United States, the first thing he ate was the burger made by Ethan.

So Chen Zhao could never forget this smell, just like he couldn't forget that Ethan took him in.

"You eat half of the burgers I make every day."

"I'm leaving, don't send me off."

"Only a devil would give it to you."

Chen Zhao went to Mirror Lake in Dashan Town. Felwood and Cisco's project was progressing very quickly.

When he went to Mirror Lake, what Chen Zhao saw was a prototype white building standing on the shore of Mirror Lake.

However, there are still a large number of workers coming in and out, and the main project of the entire villa has been completed.

The rest is to renovate the surrounding environment, cover it with greening, and decorate the interior.

Unlike the main project, construction can be accelerated as long as there are enough people and machinery.

It is impossible to use the number of people to rush the interior decoration, so the decoration speed will definitely not be that fast.

"Mr. Chen, is this your car?" Felwood Cisco was still a little surprised when he saw Chen Zhao's car.

After all, no one would use an RV for transportation, but when he saw pets of all sizes getting out of the car, he understood.

However, he still re-evaluated Chen Zhao's net worth. Anyone who can afford this RV must have a net worth of no less than 10 million.

Felwood Cisco took Chen Zhao around inside and outside, and then explained some situations.

Not long after, Bant also arrived, and he introduced his partner, Dunand, to Chen Zhao.

It is said that Bant and Dunand grew up playing together. They are the same age and Bant is taller, while Dunand is a little short. Dunand is a very good carpenter.

Anyway, Bant praised Dunand to the sky. It is said that he once worked as a prop master in Hollywood, and later also made wooden crafts for a period of time.

After Dunand and Band took a look inside the villa, they began to communicate with Chen Zhao about what furniture and furnishings were needed, as well as the approximate cost.

"Chen, first of all, the master bedroom you requested is a large round bed with a diameter of three meters, right?"

Chen Zhao nodded, because the master bedroom was on the third floor and faced the Mirror Lake.

The side of the master bedroom facing the mirror lake has a curved floor-to-ceiling window, so if a round bed is placed, it will destroy the beauty of the room.

So Chen Zhao thought that he could make a large circular bed with a diameter of three meters, which was enough for Chen Zhao and Fali to toss on it.

The cost of customizing the furniture for the master bedroom alone has exceeded US$10,000.

The final price exceeded Chen Zhao's expectations, reaching US$130,000.

This was after Bant gave Chen Zhao a discount, and at the same time Dunand also agreed to make some wooden handicrafts for Chen Zhao's home as a gift.

The internal space of the entire villa, including the lower two basements and the three-story main building on three sides, exceeds 1,400 square meters.

In fact, general furniture customization does not require such high prices.

The main reason is that Chen Zhao considered the issue of moisture resistance, so he required that the furniture material be moisture-proof wood, which of course would increase the price.

Chen Zhao paid a deposit of US$40,000 in advance and signed the contract.

Although Chen Zhao and Bant are very familiar with each other, Americans have always been strict when it comes to business and cooperation, and no matter how good the relationship is, they still need to be guaranteed by a contract.

…

Every time after spending money, Chen Zhao felt a sense of emptiness, and then he became more motivated to make money.

The next day, Chen Zhao came to the Los Angeles University swimming pool.

"Evelay, it looks like you didn't get a good rest last night."

Evelei gritted her teeth and looked at Chen Zhao: "It's not you, what on earth did you do to me? I didn't even eat breakfast!"

Normans on the side had a calm face. She already knew this.

"Didn't I bring you breakfast?"

"It's not enough, give me some more." Eveleigh devoured breakfast, but still didn't fill her stomach. She wanted to eat the dinner she didn't eat last night.

"The next meal is an hour after training, let's start our training today."

"Come on, let's do ten fifty-meter sprint swims first."

At this time, Wright entered the swimming pool.

"List."

Chen Zhao ran to Wright's side: "Wright, you look very good today."

"I didn't interrupt your training, did I?"

"This is your territory, how dare I think so."

"Do you have time in the afternoon? A professor at the medical school is ill and would like to ask you to teach for a period."

Chen Zhao thought for a while: "Okay, there's nothing to do in the afternoon anyway."

"I thought you were going to refuse again."

"Am I that hard to speak?"

"Okay, I won't interrupt you playing with the girls, you can continue."

Chen Zhao scratched his cheek: "Do I seem to be playing? Evelei, you are lazy, don't quibble, I can see it, give me ten more turns."

An hour later, Normans and Eveleigh came ashore.

"After this meal, rest for twenty minutes, and then we will test your speed."

"You have only given us one day to practice, what effect can it have?" Evelei rolled her eyes at Chen Zhao: "Besides, we have just practiced for an hour. If we want to conduct a test, we must rest for at least three hours. Only then can we regain our condition.”

"I'll just test it if I ask you to. Where did all this nonsense come from?"

"Hmph." Evelei snorted dissatisfied.

"Don't give me water. If I catch you doing it, you'll be hungry all day long."

"I have professional ethics, and I won't do such childish things."

"I didn't see how moral you were when you blocked me last time."
