Demons Beside You

Chen Zhao frowned. Tiger’s opponent was really an asshole.

Fali was similarly displeased. She stood up at once and shouted, “Tiger, beat the sh*t out of him!”

Stunned, Chen Zhao looked at Fali. He had never seen her being so forceful.

Tiger seemed to have noticed the voice from the front seats. Turning his head slightly, he glanced in Chen Zhao and Fali’s direction.

Just then, George Rodney attacked again.

Thud!

Tiger was hit and took two steps back.

“Kid, where you looking?”

George Rodney smirked.

Tiger shook his head. The punch was too weak.

Compared to Chen Zhao and Gaia, it was more like a scratch.

Just then, George Rodney initiated a chain of attacks.

Left uppercut, right uppercut, uppercut!

It seemed like Tiger was unable to fight back at all.

Tiger only maintained his defense, blocking all the attacks.

“Chen, Tiger’s only being hit.” Fali seemed worried.

“Don’t worry. He knows what he’s doing.”

The first round ended very soon. The referee separated the two by force.

Tiger returned to the side of the ring. Gaia and some other staff walked up to change his mouthguard and feed him water.

“How is it?” Gaia asked.

“So-so. His strength is mediocre. Won’t be able to threaten me with quick punches.”

“Good. Do what you have to. Chen and Fali are in the audience. Don’t keep them waiting.”

“Got it. I’ll end it this round,” Tiger said.

In the opposite corner, George Rodney was also talking to his coach.

He was drinking in big mouthfuls.

In the first round, he had been attacking continuously, which was exhausting.

“George, make it quick. It’s too tiring to attack like that,” his coach said.

“I know, I know. Stop repeating that. Can’t you see that he couldn’t even fight back?”

“KO him ASAP.”

“Yup.”

Ding!

The second round began.

Tiger and George returned to their spots, facing each other.

George resumed his steady attack. In his opinion, Tiger was no match for him at all.

However, unlike the first round, Tiger did not just defend.

He suddenly raised his fist and punched out like a bolt of lightning. It was quick, accurate and powerful.

His fist landed hard on George’s face, after which he withdrew his hand and stepped back.

George froze on the spot. Then, he slowly collapsed on his side.

Rah, rah!

The audience cheered loudly.

“Tiger!”

“Tiger!”

“Tiger!”

What’s the most exciting thing you can see in a boxing match?

KO!

Everyone had been waiting for a KO.

At the moment, Tiger’s punch was being replayed continuously on the big screen.

“401 kilometers! God, that’s a fast punch!”

“I didn’t even see how he attacked.”

“Me too. I saw Tiger move back and then George stopped moving!”

“Should have bet on him. Damn, I’ve lost two hundred, but I think I’m in love with him!”

“Nice one! Tiger, I love you!”

The referee had already started the count for George, who was on the floor.

Unfortunately, after the count of ten, George still did not get up.

He was actually unconscious, but nobody knew how injured he was.

Nevertheless, it was a boxing match. Even if he died, nobody would remember him.

Nobody would sympathize with the losers. They would only cheer for the victors.

Tiger enjoyed the cheers of the crowd, but he only looked at Chen Zhao.

“Mr. Chen, did you see that? I did it! I did it! I’ll bring you the championship belt!”

Chen Zhao and Fali also stood up to applaud for Tiger.

After the match, Tiger still had to undergo a urine test.

Chen Zhao did not wait for him. He and Fali drove back home.

Just then, he received a call from Dell.

“Chen, the boxer that you introduced to me is great. He had a match just now. It was amazing.”

“Then put more effort into him. I’ve invested quite a lot in him.”

Chen Zhao had invested in Tiger in order to earn more money.

That was the final goal.

Meanwhile, it would be great if Tiger could enjoy flowers and honor, fame, fortune and the joy of victory.

“When shall we go hunting again?”

“F**k, have you forgotten the last encounter?”

“No, I mean normal hunting. Can’t take that again. If you weren’t there, Johnny and I might have stayed in that mountain forest forever.”

After a short pause, Dell added, “That Carlo even found my house and asked for funding to help his team.”

Chen Zhao frowned. “Did you agree?”

“No, why would I? My money didn’t just fall from the sky. I heard from Johnny that Carlo went to find him too.”

“That old asshole is really trying everything he can. He even asked me to join his team.”

“What a plan. Asking the rich for money and the strong for power.” Dell laughed.

…

The next day—

Chen Zhao had only been to UCLA four times this month. This was the fifth time.

The college car park was full again. Chen Zhao could only park the RV on the roadside.

Wright had told him that she had not seen Princess in a long while. Chen Zhao had specially brought Princess and the rest here.

Most people in the college were already used to seeing the group of pets.

They also knew who their master was.

Of course, most of them would still choose to avoid the gang.

It was Simba and Nala’s first time here, so they seemed to be particularly curious about their surroundings.

With Briar and Bramble, they formed a four-man gang.

At home, there was no mischief they would not commit.

Outside, they were similarly fearless.

Meow!

“I came, I saw, I conquered!”

Standing on Princess’s back, Samuel meowed loudly.

“Princess, bring them and visit Wright. Black-Ma, White-Ma, look after the little guys. Don’t let them go missing.”

Chen Zhao headed straight to the boxing club.

Princess and the rest were already familiar with the place. Even without Chen Zhao, they could find Wright’s office.

Nonetheless, when they entered the office building, they still managed to cause an uproar.

Even if they did nothing, as long as they stood in the corridor, nobody would dare to near them.

At the moment, there were five young men and women in Wright’s office. They had just finished their applications to become lecturers at UCLA.

Bang, bang…

Suddenly, they heard someone knock on the door.

The five lecturers were somewhat confused. Who would knock on Wright’s door like this?

“Open the door,” Wright said.

The moment they did so, they were startled by the huge mouth outside.

“Ah!!!”
