Demons Beside You

However, Chen Zhao was more rational than that. While he was somewhat impulsive, he also thought about how he could settle the issue without getting involved.

Firstly, he did not plan to sacrifice his freedom or life in order for this sc.u.mbag to go to h.e.l.l.

But what should I do to let Phillip Quinn receive the punishment that he deserves?

This was another difficult problem.

Chen Zhao was actually boasting when he made the promise to Ethan and Caprice.

He indeed knew Demonic Sorcery, but it was not omnipotent.

Chen Zhao had a headache thinking for a solution.

Screech!

Suddenly, a car stopped beside Chen Zhao. He also heard a familiar voice.

"Chen, it"s really you!"

Chen Zhao turned his head and realized that it was Morgery.

"Morgery, shouldn"t you be in Mexico now? Why are you here?"

"I"m back! The problem"s been settled; the people who had been chasing my boss and I were already killed." Morgery seemed to be on the crest of a wave. His car was new and obviously expensive, and his bald head was bright and s.h.i.+ny.

"Where"s your pets? I almost didn"t manage to recognize you just now when you were facing away from me. Every time, you had Walter, Beelzebub, and the rest with you. Why do you just have a box today? Do you need a ride?"

After brief consideration, Chen Zhao entered Morgery"s car.

"Something seems to be troubling you. Are you in trouble?"

"Morgery, if I want to go near a rich person, what should I do?"

"You want to kidnap a rich person?" Morgery asked doubtfully.

"No, just go near him."

"You want something from him?"

"A guy who deserves to go to h.e.l.l."

"Oh? You want to kill him?"

"No, but I want him to suffer."

"Who"s he?" Morgery asked.

"Can I trust you?" Chen Zhao stared at Morgery carefully.

"Yes, just like how I trusted you," Morgery answered with a serious tone.

"Not long ago, a b.a.s.t.a.r.d was put in jail. The warden asked me to heal him so that he wouldn"t have the chance to be released on medical grounds. However, after I healed him, he still managed to be released. Now he has both health and freedom."

"What does this have to do with you?"

"My best friend"s kid was harmed by him before and eventually died."

"Who"s the person?"

"Phillip Quinn. Have you heard of him?"

"Oh I see. He"s a billionaire." Morgery looked at Chen Zhao. "It"s not easy to approach him. Whenever he goes out, he would have professional bodyguards from Blackwater company with him. If you want to attack him, you better hire an army."

"How about his house?"

"CL Building. The top three floors are all his. To get into CL Building, you first need to have an access card, and then pa.s.s through a security check. As for what the top three floors look like, I have no idea. Haven"t been there too."

"Where"s CL Building?"

"Do you see the tallest and biggest building there? That"s CL Building. It has 130 floors in total."

Looking at the building which was a few times taller than the surrounding structures, Chen Zhao could feel his heart shatter.

Whichever angle he looked at the building from, he obtained the same conclusion: there was no way to enter it by force.

"How much does it cost to hire an army?"

"You really believed me?" Morgery said, rolling his eyes. "This is Los Angeles! Unless you get a nuclear bomb, you wouldn"t succeed."

"Do you know anyone who sells nuclear bombs?"

"Do you have enough money to buy one?"

"How much does a nuclear bomb cost?"

"Perhaps Phillip Quinn can afford it, but definitely not you."

"Ah... what a headache. Why did I volunteer for this..." Chen Zhao patted his head in frustration.

"Oh yeah, another important thing."

"What?"

"You said that you can treat my baldness."

Chen Zhao clenched his fist and almost punched Morgery right away.

"Wait for a few days. Let me finish my task first," Chen Zhao said.

"Is this so important to you?"

"Yes."

"I have a suggestion," Morgery said.

"What?"

"Intercept him on the road. Of course, you have to know his itinerary first."

"Is there a way I can get that?"

"This." Morgery made a hand signal to indicate that Chen Zhao had to pay.

"How much?"

"Three hundred thousand. I can arrange a few people to do the job, but I can"t promise that it"ll succeed."

Chen Zhao twitched his lips. Three hundred thousand!

It hurts...

"Can"t it be cheaper?"

Morgery shook his head. "I only gave you this price because we"re old friends. I"m not taking any money for myself. I need to cause blockages in a few roads so that your target travels a specific path. All these need a lot of money."

"Give me your account number. I"ll transfer the money to you."

"Let me tell you first: I"m only in charge of blocking the roads. As for what you want to do next, it"s all up to you."

"Alright, but I hope that I can settle this asap."

"Can you get Phillip Quinn"s itinerary for these few days?"

Chen Zhao shook his head. "No."

"I can help you get it, but you need to pay me too."

"How much?"

"I"ll tell you the total sum after it"s over."

"Just tell me how much it"ll roughly be first."

"Three hundred thousand is the most expensive one. Since you"re willing to pay that much, would you even care about tens of thousands of dollars?"

"Yes," Chen Zhao nodded, his face filled with pain. "Don"t speak as if ten thousand is a small amount, okay?"

Just then, Chen Zhao received a call from an unfamiliar number.

"Hi, Chen, are you free?"

"You"re?"

"Do you forget my voice already? I"m Diana Bilis. Remember?"

"I"m in a car now. It"s too noisy so I didn"t recognize your voice. Sorry... What"s up?"

"I feel unwell. Can you come here?"

"How are you unwell?" Chen Zhao really did not want to go.

"Just unwell. I don"t know where either... You promised me that I can call you whenever I need something."

Chen Zhao rubbed his forehead. "I didn"t say that I"m not going."

After all, Diana had a psychological trauma previously. Chen Zhao did not dare to reject her directly.

Chen Zhao was in a terrible fix at the moment. He felt as if he had encountered all possible issues in a single day.

After he hung up, he asked Morgery to drive him to UCLA.

"Chen, I"ll contact those people for you first. Wait for my call."

"Great. I"ll go first. See you."

Chen Zhao easily found Diana"s room and knocked on the door. "Diana, are you inside?"
