Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

The United States is indeed very dangerous. I came to this land to save the American people who are in dire straits.

It’s really too dangerous!

In less than a month, how many times have you been shot and how many times have you died?

As soon as he returned to the hotel, Chen Zhao received a call from Meyerson: "Chen, do you have time? The Los Angeles Times wants to interview you and take a photo of you and your dog."

"Sorry, forget it, I'm not suitable to appear in the media. You should know the special nature of my job."

Chen Zhao is an illegal doctor. If an illegal doctor appears on a certain media page, even if the police turn a blind eye, it is impossible for those in the medical association to turn a blind eye.

"I understand, but you have to be careful. Some reporters seem to have found some clues. There is no guarantee that they will not bypass our police and go directly to dig up information about you."

Hearing this, Chen Zhao felt a headache. He was being targeted by the media. How could he end up well?

Even though he is not an entertainment star, he is still quite topical.

You must know that from yesterday to today, the news about the shooting in the hospital has not stopped.

Chen Zhao stayed in the room all day long.

In the past few days, he had lived a very fulfilling and exciting life every day.

Ethan also didn't pick up any clients for him all day, allowing him to spend the day quietly.

Chen Zhao didn't get up until night. Of course, he was woken up by Ethan's knock on the door.

"Chen, are you awake?"

"I woke up because of you." Chen Zhao opened the door and let Ethan in.

"I heard about what happened in the hospital yesterday."

Ethan looked at Beelzebub: "My little hero, come to me."

Beelzebub was too lazy to pay attention to Ethan and fell asleep with his head covered.

Ethan was a little disappointed when he was left out by Beelzebub.

"Your house seems to be almost decorated. If you want to go shopping for furniture tomorrow, I will go with you."

"Okay... wait... Ethan, what is your purpose?"

"What purpose can I have? It's purely friends helping each other."

"Help each other?"

"Yes, help each other."

"Tell me what's wrong with you."

"My grandmother, I want to visit her tomorrow. I hope you can accompany me."

After talking for a long time, he actually wanted Chen Zhao to work as free labor for him.

Forget it, he is pretty good compared to Ethan, so this small favor doesn’t matter.

"Here are the burgers that were just made. I'll treat you to them, and Beelzebub."

"Anything else?"

"Okay, I'm leaving first."

Chen Zhao picked up a piece of hamburger and threw it to Beelzebub.

Chen Zhao sat on the table and opened the metal box.

Suddenly, there was a flash of light inside, and a fist-sized demon crystal appeared in the metal box.

Different from the demon crystals in the past, this demon crystal is like a carefully carved jewelry, a heart-shaped black gem.

The moment Chen Zhao picked up the devil crystal, Beelzebub stopped eating the burger and stared at the devil crystal tightly.

"Perfect crystallization!"

Raymond, who was originally nestled in the bed, also crawled out, eager to pounce directly on him.

"How old is this demon crystallization?"

"A hundred years."

"oh?"

"Chen, look at how hard I worked yesterday, you should reward me. I don't need too much, just give me ten years, it's not too much."

"I worked very hard yesterday. Look at those two humans, Rasfa and Steven, I have a lot of credit."

"You each have a year, are there too many?"

"One year at a time...wait a minute, I don't want other crystal fragments, I want the one that was knocked off this one."

"Is this one different from other demon crystals?"

"Of course it's different. Just like your human gems have pros and cons, there are also demon crystals. This one is a perfect crystal and has better effects than ordinary demon crystals."

"Then if we compare it in terms of value, what is its value?"

"At least one hundred and fifty years of demon crystallization."

"Maybe higher."

"Then I will give you two years of devil crystals. This one will not be knocked off. The value of the whole one should be greater."

"Okay, I accept this price."

The shape of this perfect crystal is indeed beautiful, but for Chen Zhao, practicality is more important.

If you want beautiful gemstones, those artificial gemstones may not be much worse.

The next day, Ethan took Chen Zhao to the supermarket to order furniture.

"Two gentlemen, what type of furniture do you want to buy? This is the bed, and this brand is..."

"This bed isn't even big enough." Chen Zhao said, touching his chin.

Yesterday I tried that kind of big bed at Rasfa's house. Zola and I could play with it as much as we wanted, not to mention how comfortable it was.

So Chen Zhao made up his mind to get a bed that big.

"The beds and mattresses here are all standard, and the specifications are basically the same. However, if you need special specifications, we also accept customization."

"Chen, you live alone, do you need such a big bed?"

"Need, must be needed." Chen Zhao said decisively.

The saleswoman happily accepted a large order. In order to customize the bed, Chen Zhao paid a 30% deposit, six hundred US dollars. In other words, a bed plus mattress would cost US$2,000.

Chen Zhao rarely spends money like this, but Chen Zhao thinks the money is worth it.

Then there were tables, chairs, sofas, appliances, and a laptop, zero to zero, more than six thousand dollars spent.

Except when he customized the bed, Chen Zhao generously spent two thousand dollars.

For other furniture, Chen Zhao felt very painful every time and felt that his heart was bleeding.

The furniture was not sent to the new home immediately, but was agreed to be delivered four days later.

"Chen, we are going to my grandmother's house now."

"You're just going empty-handed? Without any gifts?"

"Um...what do you want to buy?" Ethan was confused: "Every time I go there, I don't bring anything with me. Grandma will always greet me in the warmest way. I don't think she needs it."

Chen Zhao kicked Ethan on the butt: "Can I say you are a bastard?"

This damn fat guy really doesn’t know how to behave.

"Okay, what do you think I should buy?"

Then the two went back to the supermarket and bought a bouquet of carnations and a bag of fruit. They also spent $300 on an Apple tablet.

Ethan was still quite heartbroken about the three hundred dollars.

Ethan's grandmother is ninety-five years old and lives in downtown Los Angeles.

In a high-end commercial building, it is said that she is a university professor and a senior intellectual.

To be sure, Ethan didn't have much contact with his grandmother, otherwise Ethan wouldn't be such a jerk.
