Demons Beside You

Chen Zhao and Fali were woken up by a gunshot . They hurriedly turned on the lights .

“Fali, don"t come down . ” Chen Zhao was very awake . He stopped Fali and rolled over to get the baseball bat on the side .

When he went downstairs, he saw Spike lying on the stairs . Chen Zhao froze . He checked Spike and found him dead .

Right then, he saw blood on Black Ma . He"d gotten shot .

“Chen . ” Fali poked her head out above the stairs . She didn"t feel safe alone in her room .

Chen Zhao looked up at Fali . “It"s okay . You can come down now . ”

Fali went downstairs . She saw Spike on the ground, as well as the case and a necklace wrapped around it .

“It"s my necklace,” Fali said immediately .

“It really did come back,” Chen Zhao lamented .

“What do we do now?”

“Call the cops . ”

Chen Zhao called the police . People who broke into homes at night deserved to die .

Zola and her lawyer came faster . Chen Zhao didn"t know how she could get the news so quickly and hurry over so quickly too .

“Zola, how come you"re here?”

“I have a friend in the Beverly Hills police station,” Zola answered . “He told me that there was a shooting at a house under my name . This is my lawyer, Ramons . He"ll help represent you . If there"s anything uncomfortable for you to say, you can tell him . ”

“h.e.l.lo, Mr . Ramons . My girlfriend and I were sleeping and this man broke in . He ran into my pet . He shot my pet but got pounced on and hit his head on the stairs . ”

“Is Black Ma okay?” Zola saw that Black Ma had bandages on him .

“He"s okay . I already treated him . ”

“Zola, Mr . Chen,” Ramons said . “You"re not in the wrong for this, so it"s okay even if I don"t come . ”

A short while later, the police arrived at the house . They asked for Chen Zhao and Fali"s testimonies and took away Spike"s body and the case .

They didn"t give Chen Zhao and Fali any trouble at all . This was a wealthy neighborhood . No one who lived here was simple . The police"s responsibility was protecting them .

These days, Chen Zhao was busy helping Blackie move .

Blackie had to construct a s.p.a.ce crevice in the new home . He couldn"t transport many of the solid items . He could do it inside the s.p.a.ce crevice but not in the outside world .

Thus, he needed Chen Zhao"s help . Chen Zhao especially reminded Blackie to clear out his collection entirely . Otherwise, it would be like the s.p.a.ce crevice"s last owner, leaving a bunch of evil spirits that wreaked havoc in the house .

The most troublesome was the three-headed hound . It was honestly too big . It was bigger than Black Ma, White Ma, Walter, and Obitos put together—basically the same size as Chen Zhao"s Ford SUV .

Even if they moved the dogs out, there was nowhere to hide them . He had to leave them in the crevice for now and move them over when Blackie"s new home was done .

Chen Zhao went to train Normans every day . She grew slimmer and slimmer . Normans also dared to wear anything in front of Chen Zhao . This was because her confidence recovered with her figure .

Today, Chen Zhao came out of Normans" house and saw a familiar person on the road . Chen Zhao parked the car . “Hey, Miller . ”

“Chen, how come you"re here?” Ola Miller blocked the sun with a newspaper . She wore stilettos and looked really tired .

“Get in . Where are you going? I"ll give you a ride . ”

Miller got into the car . The backseat was filled with pets . Chen Zhao often brought his pets to the gym, so Ola wasn"t surprised at them .

“Take me to the gym . Oh, you haven"t come in a long time . ”

“Something happened at home, so I didn"t have time . Right, how come you"re walking under the sun in Beverly Hills?”

“My car broke down . ”

Chen Zhao drove Miller to the gym and went up with her . He hadn"t come in a long time, so he decided to visit Gaia .

When they entered the gym, they realized it was a bit empty .

“Where did everyone go?” Miller asked in confusion .

“Are they at the ring?”

They walked toward the ring . As expected, everyone was there . Gaia was competing with a black man at the moment . However, unlike what Chen Zhao usually saw, Gaia was the one getting beaten up .

This wasn"t a public compet.i.tion, but there was still a referee . It was a boxing match . The man was taller than Gaia—around two meters tall . He had long limbs too .

In the boxing world, the longer one"s arms were, the longer his fighting range .

Gaia was already on the defense . When she occasionally attacked, the man would be able to dodge easily .

Chen Zhao had never seen Gaia in such a pathetic state .

The referee finally ended the match . The man took off his gloves and tossed them down before Gaia .

Chen Zhao frowned . He"d thought that the man was friends with Gaia . But tossing one"s gloves to the other person"s feet on the ring was insulting .

None of the students in the gym said anything . Gaia walked down with a dark expression .

The man stood in the ring and raised his arms . “Guys, I opened a gym upstairs . If you"re interested, you can go check it out . Other than me, we also have Zanla Douglas, winner of last year"s WBA Golden Belt, who is the main coach . If you"re lucky, you can get taught by Zanla . ”

With that, the man walked down the ring . He turned to look at Gaia . “Girl, fighting isn"t a sport that girls can play . ”

Chen Zhao frowned . There were a dozen gyms or related businesses in this building . Everyone saw each other on a daily basis . Rarely would anyone come provoke someone else .

Take Gaia"s gym as an example . The main service was still fitness . Gaia would also teach some boxing or wrestling, but it was all for amateurs . It wasn"t professional training .

In America, there was one fitness expert for every overweight person . The fitness market was huge .

Everyone had their own skills . The man today had clearly come to cause trouble .

“Gaia, are you okay?” Chen Zhao went over to ask .

Gaia had some bruises on her face, but they weren"t bad . Chen Zhao was worried that her self-esteem would be hurt .

No matter what their conflict in the beginning was like, Gaia had shown her professionalism while Chen Zhao learned from her . She was also bold and loyal to her friends . She was the type that people would slowly start liking .

“I"m okay . How come you"re here?”
