Demons Beside You

After about half an hour, Sienna arrived in her tattered little car.

 “Chen, where"s the client? I don"t see him.”

 “You see the RV opposite your car?”

 “Yes, and then?”

 “We"re in the van. Come in.”

 When Sienna, Chris and Cheryl entered the RV, they were astonished by the luxurious decorations.

 “Wow, it"s bigger than where we stay.”

 “Is this the client"s car?”

 “It"s mine,” Chen Zhao said. “He"s your client.”

 “It"s you!!” Cheryl"s face turned cold. “You profiteer!”

 “Wait… Cheryl, you know him?”

 “He"s the owner of the power supply company. When I was still in the orphanage, he argued with… with granny twice.”

 Both of them felt really awkward.

 Movich Tutas scratched his head. “But I never cut off the electricity, although I did send someone to ask for the payment twice.”

 “During Christmas, did Yucis go and find Movich?” Chen Zhao asked.

 Chen Zhao recalled that Yucis had become a monster precisely because of magic backlash.

 Was it because she had cast a spell on Movich?

 Cheryl immediately got it. “You mean Granny Yucis cast a curse on him?”

 “Very likely,” Chen Zhao nodded.

 “But I"ve never met her in person,” Movich said.

 “If a witch wants to curse you, you won"t even realize it.”

 “It"s no wonder that after Christmas, Granny Yucis became very weird.”

 “Where"s she now?” Movich asked.

 “Granny Yucis is already dead, thanks to you!”

 “Why is it me? I didn"t do anything. I"m also a victim.”

 “It"s because of your threat. You said that if you didn"t receive the payment, you would cut off the electricity to the orphanage before Christmas.”

 “…” Chen Zhao glanced at Movich.

 It was indeed a severe threat. Movich sighed, “But I didn"t do it… I didn"t mean it.”

 “You can"t just threaten people like that.” Chen Zhao glanced at Movich. “Alright, I think we"re done here. Mr. Movich has already received his punishment, and Yucis also paid the price for her actions.”

 “Wait…” Sienna suddenly screamed. “That means… it"s over? Where"s the hundred thousand?!”

 Chen Zhao looked at Sienna in sympathy. She was just not destined to be rich.

 “To make up for my mistake, I"ll donate a million dollars to the orphanage,” Movich said. “Girl, I feel very sorry for what I"ve done and for those I"ve hurt.”

 “Humph…” Cheryl still could not forgive Movich.

 Chen Zhao did not want to comment on this. After all, Movich did not do anything wrong in principle.

 Electricity companies were not charities, and he did not even cut off the electricity at the end.

 Of course, while he did not make a mistake by law, there were still ethical problems.

 “Ms. Sienna, I would like to hire you as my company"s special security consultant.”

 Special security consultant, again? Chen Zhao was surprised.

 It was just swings and roundabouts.

 “What"s the salary?”

 “Ten thousand a month.”

 “How about my team? How much will they get?”

 “Them? Six thousand a month. What do you think?”

 “Well, I forgive you a bit,” Cheryl said with her head high.

 Although Sienna did not receive ten thousand dollars, they were still elated by their new job.

 Cheryl still hated Movich, but she was a mature child. She did not act harshly.

 She knew that Movich was not the person to blame.

 Just then, Movich suddenly screamed, “Ah… Help! There"s a bear!”

 Sienna, Chris and Cheryl were all shocked by Princess.

 Roar! Cheryl charged forward at once.

 However, Princess lifted her paw and Cheryl flew away.

 “Don"t fight in the van! Stop! If you break my stuff, I"ll make you pay for it!” Chen Zhao roared. “Cheryl, Princess, stop now!”

 “Chen, do not tell me that it"s your pet.”

 “Princess, go upstairs. Why did you come down?” Chen Zhao ordered.

 Princess pointed at her stomach. Roar…

 She was hungry again. Chen Zhao patted his forehead. “Go upstairs first.”

 “Is the bear similar to Obitos and the rest?” Sienna asked.

 “Kind of.”

 “Chen, you"re a Druid, right?” Sienna asked.

 “Okay, we"re done here. You can leave now.” Chen Zhao waved his hand, chasing everyone down his van.

 “Chen, teach me Druid spells…” Sienna felt that she could hardly make any money with her current knowledge of magic.

 She wanted to be rich and own a deluxe van just like Chen Zhao.

 “Maybe when my mood is better.”

 　　…

 “Eveleigh, your result is already excellent. If you follow my method to train, you"ll definitely have an outstanding performance during UC Games. Why would you hire another coach? It"ll only change your habits and rhythm. I think it"s a bad idea.”

 “Coach Kanter, I"ve already made up my mind,” Eveleigh said emotionlessly. “Also, it"s the changing room ahead. Please stop following me.”

 Eveleigh had already paid the money. It was too late to regret.

 It was not a small amount. A hundred thousand was what a middle-cla.s.s family would earn in a year.

 She was not rich to the extent that she could throw away a hundred thousand dollars easily.

 “You"ll regret it,” Kanter said, displeased.

 “That"s my problem.” Eveleigh was determined.

 When Eveleigh came out from the changing room, she was already in her one-piece swimsuit and swimming cap. Normans just arrived. “Normans, when will he be here?”

 “He"s already on his way, but don"t expect him to be punctual. By fast, he might mean an hour.”

 “Don"t tell me he"ll only be here at noon.” Eveleigh was very dissatisfied.

 In her opinion, Chen Zhao should be punctual, since he had taken her money.

 “That"s just how he is. If you want him to be punctual, he wouldn"t even have accepted the task.”

 “If his training is ineffective, I"ll make him spit out all my money.”
