Demons Beside You

Fali was too exhausted from the previous night. While Chen Zhao was tired too, he rested very well precisely because he was relaxed.

Nevertheless, Chen Zhao was awakened by the doorbell. Azina and Deon were outside the door.

Behind them were Beelzebub, Carrie, Obitos, and the Silly Twins. Raymond had wrapped himself around Beelzebub"s neck.

Lastly, Walter was still at the Coastal Rescue Team. Robio would look after him.

Because Fali had perhaps encountered a supernatural event the day before the last day, Chen Zhao had decided to let Walter accompany her.

Also, because of Leonardo"s birthday party the last day, they did not bring Walter back.

"Chen, here are your pets."

"Thanks. Did they cause you any trouble yesterday?"

"To be honest, I was indeed shocked when Azina brought them back yesterday, but soon I discovered that they are much smarter than I thought. Even Raymond surprised me. Chen, are you an animal trainer?"

"Haha... I"m a doctor."

"Dad, can I invite them to our home again next time?"

"Of course, but you have to ask Chen first."

"Chen, can I?" Azina asked, looking at Chen Zhao.

"Sure."

"Dad, I want to stay here and play with them."

"Remember to come back for lunch."

Among Chen Zhao"s demon servants, the Silly Twins should be the most obedient ones.

Their lives had been difficult since young. One day, suddenly, they could eat all the meat they wanted.

They could even occasionally get demonic crystals for dessert. It was thus not hard to imagine how happy and docile they were.

At the start, Chen Zhao had really thought that they were two irritable and proud demons. After just one test, they had completely exposed their true nature.

They had long thrown away their pride as demons. Just like how a cla.s.sic saying goes, they would submit to whoever that fed them.

They would befriend anyone who gave them food. Although their appearances were indeed wolves, they were more like two Huskies, except that they were larger and had bigger appet.i.tes.

According to them, they had never had a satisfying meal in h.e.l.l before.

Now that they had Chen Zhao as their master, they had to make up for the food that they had missed.

When Chen Zhao heard that, his face was filled with mere contempt. As subordinates of one of the Seven Great Demon Kings, their situation was really embarra.s.sing.

Look at the subordinate of Raymond Stis, the King of l.u.s.t, or Beelzebub, a subordinate of the King of Gluttony. While they might not be that powerful, they at least had their own territories. Their ranks were not high, but they still had their own homes and jobs.

In comparison, the Silly Twins were just two tramps.

Azina played until noon and left. Chen Zhao only called Fali up for lunch.

"Fali, are you going to work today?"

"Yup. I didn"t tell Robio that I would be absent in the morning." Fali would never pretend to be a gentlewoman in front of Chen Zhao. She had a drink as she stuffed her mouth with food.

Because she had to go to the Coastal Rescue Team in the afternoon, she could not drink alcohol.

If this was dinner instead, Fali would certainly be holding a can of beer.

"Why don"t you go to Angel Beach with me? You can play there and we can come back together at night."

"Sure." Chen Zhao also wanted to relax for a few days, so he did not reject Fali"s invitation. "Can they go too?"

Chen Zhao was worried for none of his pets but Obitos.

The other demons were either dogs or dog-like.

On the other hand, Obitos was a giant lizard. About as big as an adult Komodo dragon, he looked really frightening.

Fali was already used to it, so she would not feel scared.

However, if Obitos was brought to the beach, he could probably shock the tourists out of their wits.

"Of course. We can leave Obitos to sunbathe at the HQ," Fali said, throwing Obitos a piece of meat meanwhile.

The entire family barely managed to fit into Fali"s small car. Chen Zhao sat on the front pa.s.senger seat.

On the rear seats, the Silly Twins already occupied the majority of the s.p.a.ce available. There were still the similarly big Obitos, Beelzebub, Carrie, and Raymond.

It was the first time the Silly Twins came out to play, so they looked particularly excited. They lied down near the windows, appreciating the scenery outside.

When they arrived at the beach, the Silly Twins eagerly jumped out of the car.

Their shoulder heights were already taller than Chen Zhao"s waist. Indeed, they were two out-and-out huge wolves.

Nevertheless, most people could not differentiate between Huskies, Alaskan Malamutes and wolves.

Hence, none of the tourists thought that they were actual wolves.

On the other hand, n.o.body dared to go near Obitos who was lying on the ground.

When Fali and Chen Zhao walked into the HQ of the Coastal Rescue Team, they still managed to shock Robio.

"What the f**k? Chen, is your home a zoo? Are these your pets?"

Robio walked up and inspected the Silly Twins. "Are they wolves?"

"Huh? You can tell?"

"I worked in a zoo for three years before," Robio said. "Are you sure they won"t hurt the tourists here?"

"Black-ma, White-ma, roll on the ground. Dessert for tonight."

At the moment, the two of them had long thrown away their pride as demons. They were thrilled by the word "dessert."

Robio looked at the Silly Twins in surprise. "They"re really smart... Huh? A lizard? What a special color! Is it a mutant?"

"Give it a place to sunbathe, and I"ll bring my other pets to play outside. Oh yeah, where"s Walter?"

"He"s already patrolling on the beach. Chen, how did you train your pets? Walter now knows how to save a person without anyone"s guidance. Our rescue team recently purchased two more dogs. Can you train them for me?"

"Don"t even think about it. I"m busy enough."

"You"re busy and yet you"re here to play?"

"We"ve known each other for so long, and this is my first time here. Doesn"t that show how busy I am? Do you want me to give up my rare free time and train the dogs for you?"

Chen Zhao changed to his swim trunks and then went out to enjoy himself.

The other pets had also left, but the Silly Twins still stayed beside Chen Zhao.

To be honest, the Silly Twins were attracting too much attention.

After all, they were really too big. Many kids walked up to either touch or hug them.

"Master, I smell wealth."

"Stop right there if it"s coins again. I"m not here to pick up coins." Chen Zhao was very disappointed with White-ma"s unreliable ability. In fact, he was even somewhat hopeless about their intelligence.

He already had to spend a lot of time and effort to make the Silly Twins remember the different US notes, not to mention the even more complicated coin system.

Although White-ma had indeed successfully found many gold bars last time, he was only being lucky.

Chen Zhao did not believe that White-ma would be lucky for the second time.

"It"s real. It smells very much like the gold last time, but it"s rather faint. Maybe there aren"t as many pieces, or perhaps they"re too far away."

Gold! Chen Zhao was energized at once. "Can you locate the source?"
