Demons Beside You

“Do you remember its contents?” Pierce South sounded rather desperate.

“What do you think?”

“Is it really destroyed?” Pierce South was still unwilling to give up, hoping that Chen Zhao was just lying.

“Even if the King of the Sun Golden Chalice really exists, I’m not interested.”

Actually, Chen Zhao was not uninterested, but he did not want to cooperate with Pierce South. In their last cooperation, Pierce did not do much and yet he benefited more.

Chen Zhao was clearly unhappy about it. It was not how cooperation should work.

In the end, Pierce South hung up, disinterested.

The next day, Chen Zhao did not go out. Instead, he stayed at home and packed what he could.

After all, he was going to move to a new house after returning from the journey.

He planned to give his old home appliances to Sienna and the rest.

In fact, giving one’s old appliances and furniture to others is quite a common thing and not embarrassing at all.

When some people are about to move, they will even tell their neighbors to come and take their unneeded furniture if they want them.

They might donate the last few pieces to charities, which will eventually be given to homeless people.

Of course, Chen Zhao did not have much to give. Most things in the villa were not his, after all.

He would certainly not give something that did not even belong to him. Shortly after he gave Sienna a call, Sienna, Chris, and Cheryl showed up.

To them, nothing was too old.

For example, toasters and dishwashers were perfectly good as long as they were functioning and not broken.

Indeed, they were very excited to obtain these appliances for free.

“Chen, if there’s anything else that you don’t need, remember to tell us.” The three received more than ten appliances of various sizes.

“By the way, how are you doing in Movich’s company?”

“Nothing’s happened till now. Supernatural events don’t just happen every day,” Sienna said.

“Mr. Chen…” Cheryl lifted her head and looked at Chen.

“Call me Chen, just like they do.”

“Chen, can you invite Mr. Werewolf here again? I have some questions to ask him.”

“What do you want to ask?”

“Recently, I find it more and more difficult to control my emotions during a full moon. I want to know what I should do.”

“I can ask him for you, but it won’t be easy to invite him here,” Chen Zhao said.

Sienna and Chris had also heard from Cheryl that Chen Zhao knew a real werewolf.

They were actually not surprised by this.

After all, in their eyes, Chen Zhao was a mystery.

There was therefore nothing strange about him knowing a real werewolf.

Just then, Faur arrived and saw Chen Zhao carrying things around.

Sienna, Chris, and Cheryl bid goodbye and left in a car.

“Chen, are Fali and you moving?” Faur had gone to Mirror Lake and seen their lakeside villa before.

She was actually somewhat jealous that Fali could find such a boyfriend.

“Not yet, but when we return we should be able to move in. Why are you here?”

“I’ve decided to go to Sacramento with you.”

“If you’re just here to inform me, you could have given me a call.”

“I’m on annual leave, starting from today. I realized I have nowhere to go now, so here I am.”

“Come in and take a seat.” Chen Zhao poured Faur a glass of water.

Just then, a few more people entered the house. It was Risfar, Lora, Vera, and Ronnie, as well as Laffer.

When Risfar saw Faur, he was clearly stunned.

When he was trying to ask Chen Zhao to treat his wife, he had investigated Faur.

“Johnny, Lora, why are you here?”

“We heard that you’re moving, so we came to say goodbye.”

“Please, I’m not leaving America. I’ll still be in LA.”

“But it won’t be as convenient for us to meet up.”

“Uncle Chen, where are you going? Can we never see Princess again? Can we never see Black-Ma and White-Ma again?”

“Of course not, you can go to my new house anytime. Now you walk for twenty minutes, and next time you will sit in a car for twenty minutes. It’ll be the same.”

In fact, Beverly Hills was at least an hour away from Mountain Town. The two places were quite far apart.

But in order to comfort Ronnie and Vera, Chen Zhao deliberately said a shorter time.

“Is this beautiful lady your friend?” Risfar asked despite already knowing the answer.

“Chen, you were alone with her at home. Aren’t you scared that Fali will find out?” Lora could tell that Faur and Chen Zhao did not have a special relationship, but this did not prevent her from teasing Chen Zhao.

“This is Faur, Fali’s younger sister.”

“Chen, I brought you a bottle of red wine. Let’s eat grilled meat and drink this for lunch.”

“I don’t mind the combination, but I hope the wine’s not over ten thousand dollars. I don’t want to be that luxurious.”

“Don’t worry, it’s only a few thousand.”

“Do you really not have any red wine that’s cheaper?”

“I mean that is its market price.”

“Is there a difference?”

“Of course. I own the brand’s winery, so I determine the price.”

Faur and Lora chatted in the living room, while Chen Zhao and Risfar talked in the courtyard.

Soon, Dell and Faith also came. Risfar had called them here.

It was like a farewell meal. In the afternoon, Fali also came back early to join the gathering.

…

“Faur, stay here tonight,” Fali suggested.

“I can stay, but you need to promise me you’re not having sex tonight, or I’ll kill both of you.”

“Alright, I promise,” Fali vowed confidently.

After all, they were planning to leave the next morning. It would be more convenient if Faur could stay over.

That night, Chen Zhao did not touch Fali, a very rare occurrence. He slept on the sofa in the living room instead.

The next day, Chen Zhao, Fali, and Faur, together with the pets, boarded the RV and departed.

“Faur, can you drive for a while? I’ll prepare breakfast.”

The RV had a complete kitchen. Faur sat onto the driver’s seat without any suspicion.

In the end, just as the RV made its way out of the city, she heard moans from the back.

“Asshole, you lied to me! You’ve planned all this!” Faur cursed as she drove.

“If the two of you make any sound again, I’ll drive the van into the sea!”

“Shit, just be quiet!” Faur was already mad.
