Demons Beside You

“What is it doing?” Winnip and Laurent stared at Obitos, confused.

“Sorry, he’s a bit naughty,” Daniel sighed. “He likes to scare people, but he doesn’t bite.”

Mustering his courage, Laurent ran behind Obitos and pulled his tail.

Obitos turned his head and glanced at Laurent. Then, he swang his tail and slapped Laurent’s face.

“Old man, are you not embarrassed enough?” Winnip patted Laurent.

“Kid, how much does this lizard cost?”

“Sorry, he’s not mine. I’m taking care of him for my friend.” Daniel shook his head. “Obitos, just wait for Chen’s scolding later.”

Just then, they heard someone shout in the distance.

“Stop… Stop…”

Holm was frantically chasing a group of dogs. Led by Black-Ma and White-Ma, the group charged toward Laurent and Winnip.

Black-Ma and White-Ma each approached a person and then started to lick their hands.

Daniel was very puzzled. The Silly Twins did the same thing as Obitos.

It seemed like they really liked the two people.

Woof!

“Fools, they’re not Madam,” Beelzebub barked at the Silly Twins. “Stop embarrassing we demons, you idiots.”

“But they really smell like Madam.”

Laurent gently touched Black-Ma’s head. It was furry and felt really good.

“Winnip, they really like us. Let’s buy them.”

“Sorry, they’re not for sale too,” Daniel said. “They have the same owner as Obitos.”

“Bring us to their owner. I believe their owner will be happy at our price.”

“That’s impossible. Their owner will definitely not sell them.”

“Just bring us there. There’s nothing money can’t buy,” Laurent said confidently.

“Old man, do you even have money?” Winnip glanced at Laurent.

“Darling, you’ll buy them for me, won’t you?”

“I’ll see. If it’s too expensive, I won’t pay.”

Winnip looked at White-Ma who had been running around her. Such a huge “dog” was indeed adorable.

Unable to convince them, Daniel could only bring Winnip and Laurent to Chen Zhao.

By then, Chen Zhao had already healed the seal.

He was talking to the animal trainer at the moment. The trainer really admired Chen Zhao.

After all, the vet in the aquarium was unable to treat the seal, but Chen Zhao immediately discovered and solved the problem.

“Buddy, why don’t you stay here and be our vet?”

“Come on, I’m not a vet, I’m a doctor. This is just temporary. I don’t plan to switch.”

Just then, Daniel arrived with the others. “Chen, they would like to buy Obitos and the other pets.”

“You?? It’s you?!” Chen Zhao frowned.

“Kid, it’s you!!” Laurent also stared at Chen Zhao in anger. Chen Zhao had really played him terribly the day before. He had even peed himself.

“So you know each other!” Chen Zhao saw Winnip and the hooded man.

“Chen, do you know them?”

“Just a bunch of assholes,” Chen Zhao said coldly. “Why did you bring them here?”

“They want to buy Obitos and the rest…”

“Don’t even think about it. Never appear before me again, or else…” Chen Zhao opened his toolbox and Raymond stuck his head out.

Laurent took two steps back in fear. He was really scared of snakes.

Raymond was huge and colorful. As he hissed and opened his mouth, his pair of venomous teeth extended out directly. Indeed, he looked really fearsome.

Smiling, Winnip looked at Chen Zhao. “Are you sure?”

“I am absolutely sure. If you appear before me again, I’ll make you pay for it.”

“Kid, I’ll remember this line. You better not regret.”

“Regret? Ha, who do you think you are?”

Chen Zhao glanced at Laurent and the rest in contempt. “Is trash-talking the only thing you can do? Or are the three weaklings beside you going to do something?”

Kane, Howard and Karim were all enraged.

“Boss, let me teach him a lesson.”

Laurent glanced at the three. “Do the three of you like to bully a normal person so much? Great, beat him up as hard as you can!”

“It’s an aquarium, not a place for you to fight!” Daniel shouted.

“Kid, let’s go outside. Didn’t you just call us weaklings?”

Crash…

Chen Zhao’s fist landed on the wall. When he took it down, there was a clear imprint.

“Sorry, didn’t think the quality of the wall is this bad. I’ll pay for it.” Chen Zhao rubbed off the dirt from his hand. “What did you say just now again? Didn’t hear you properly.”

“…” The three kept silent. They could not say anything.

They understood themselves very well and knew that they were certainly no match for Chen Zhao.

Getting hit by that kind of punch would mean at least multiple fractures.

“Trash!” Laurent kicked Kane’s butt in anger.

Actually, they would rather be kicked by Laurent than be punched by Chen Zhao.

How much force was needed to leave an imprint on a concrete wall?

“Laurent, let’s go.” Winnip glanced at Chen Zhao and left with a gentle smile.

“Hey, bearded old man,” Chen Zhao suddenly called.

Laurent turned his head to see Chen Zhao with his middle finger. “Gift for you.”

“You’ll regret this! You’ll regret!!” Laurent screamed wildly.

…

“Sir, here’s your prescription. You may now proceed to the pharmacy to take the medicines. There are three of them, all to be taken once after lunch and once after dinner. If you have any questions, you can ask the people in the pharmacy,” Faur explained to her patient.

“Okay. Thank you, Dr. Faur.”

Faur heaved a sigh. When she raised her head again, she saw Laurent and Winnip enter her office.

“Dad, Mom, why are you here?” Faur was clearly surprised. Although they had informed her earlier that they were coming to Los Angeles, it was too sudden. They also did not tell her the exact date.

“Of course we’re here to see you. How’s work?”

“Just fine,” Faur said. “Why don’t you take a stroll outside first? I won’t be leaving that soon.”

“No, we haven’t seen you at work. We’ll wait for you here.”

Faur had no choice but to continue seeing her patients.

She really felt uneasy that Laurent and Winnip were present.

“Actually, I’ll apply for leave,” Faur finally said.

When they left the hospital, Faur looked at the two. “Where are we going now?”

“You know where your sister lives, right?”

“Err…” Indeed, they were just here to see Fali.

They must have come to Los Angeles because Fali was dating.
