Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

Gakira has always maintained a psychological advantage over Chen Zhao.

Maybe it was because she really didn't see Chen Zhao do anything.

In addition, Chen Zhao was not here every day, and she was bored in the forging workshop every day, so she didn't know what Chen Zhao was doing.

Therefore, she always believed that Chen Zhao was a manager. She felt that the weapons she forged were enough for Chen Zhao to use.

She really didn't understand why Chen Zhao wanted better weapons.

Both Gakira and Higashikata are at a higher level.

Whether it is the light sword or the heavy sword they forged, they are not at their highest level.

Of course, there are better materials, and with more time and effort, you can forge better weapons.

But they don't think it's necessary.

Chen Zhao didn't know what they were thinking. If he knew what they were thinking, he would definitely slap him to death.

Chen Zhao took the weapon, and as soon as he left with his front foot, West came over with his back foot.

"You two, hold this ring. This ring allows you to enter the trial tower."

"What trial tower?"

"That one over there is the trial tower. You can practice your combat skills there after you enter."

"No need, I have to be busy practicing my casting skills." Higashino Tianxi said.

"I don't need it either." The two of them were more individual than the other.

Anyway, I don’t accept anyone, especially since no one has won this game, I feel suffocated in my heart.

On his way back, Chen Zhao saw a familiar figure in the convenience store.

"Hi, Shallan."

Shalan was sitting in front of her car, drinking milk tea.

She looked up and saw Chen Zhao greeting her there.

Chen Zhao got off the car and went into a convenience store to buy a cup of milk tea. He leaned against the front of the car and chatted with Shalan.

"Are you working the night shift today?"

"I'm no longer in charge of traffic management," Shallan said.

"I should congratulate you."

"You should congratulate yourself, at least I won't catch you breaking the rules again in the future."

In fact, there are no pure traffic police in the United States. If a police officer discovers a traffic violation on the road, they will take care of it.

But the main managers are police officers like Shalan who are responsible for traffic management.

Of course, if they encounter other types of crime, they will also intervene.

Especially if Shalan meets Chen Zhao on the road, he might have to take care of Chen Zhao again.

Every time Chen Zhao met Sha Lan on the road, he would chat with Sha Lan.

"By the way, your car is parked in a temporary parking space." Shalan looked at the time: "The parking time cannot exceed fifteen minutes at most. You still have ten minutes."

"Remind me again at the last minute." Chen Zhao rolled his eyes and said.

At this moment, another convertible stopped on the side of the road, and a man got out of the car and came to Shalan with a bouquet of roses in his hand.

"Sharan, this is for you."

Shalan looked at the man in front of her expressionlessly.

"Yinluo, I think I made it clear last time, or do you mean you didn't understand what I meant?" Shalan looked at the man impatiently.

Chen Zhao watched the show with great interest, wondering if he should help her and act as her temporary boyfriend.

"Shalan, I really like you, and I will prove my heart with practical actions."

"No matter what you do, I will never like you, so just give up." Shalan said coldly.

"I don't ask you to accept me now, but please accept this bouquet of roses."

At this time, Chen Zhao stepped forward and took the roses: "This bouquet of roses is very beautiful. I thank you on behalf of Sha Lan."

Yin Luo's expression froze: "Who are you?"

"What do you think is the relationship between Sha Lan and I?" Chen Zhao looked at Yin Luo with a smile.

"They can't be lovers anyway... right, Shalan?" Yinluo turned to look at Shalan.

Shalan looked at Yin Luo expressionlessly: "Why not?"

"Why do you like him? How am I inferior to him?" Yin Luo looked at Shalan angrily.

"You can't compare to him." Shalan looked at Yin Luo with a sneer. She had long been bored by Yin Luo.

Since Chen Zhao was willing to help her, she simply went along with the flow.

"Okay, Shalan, even if you have a boyfriend, I don't care. I will use practical actions to prove that I am the most suitable for you."

"Goodbye." Chen Zhao waved his hand with a smile.

Yin Luo Tie turned around and left with a livid face.

"Do you hate him?"

"A fool." Shalan said: "He actually naively believed that as long as he pursues me, my father will invest in his company."

"Uh..." Chen Zhao was also a little surprised.

American imperial society is different from that in China.

In China, if a son-in-law joins the woman's family and there are no other heirs in the woman's family, the man will gradually take over the management of the woman's family's property.

But in a family business like the U.S. Empire, management rarely changes because of a man marrying into the family, and it is not said that a man can enter the management if he marries a female heir of the family.

Even if a woman inherits family property in the future, it will have nothing to do with her husband.

And for their kind of marriage, a prenuptial agreement will definitely be signed before the marriage.

"Even if he really pursues me, my father will not invest $50 million in his company." Sharan said.

"What does his company do?" Chen Zhao asked curiously.

"Travel company, by the way, he also receives mostly tourists from Southeast Asian countries." Shalan said.

"The travel company wants to invest $50 million? Is he planning to cover the Pacific Ocean with dollars?"

"He's just an opportunist."

"It's almost time. It's time for me to leave. If I don't leave, you will give me a ticket." Chen Zhao pressed the rose into Shalan's hand: "This is for you."

"Can you be more sincere when you give me a gift next time?"

Shalan looked at the roses in her hands and then stuffed them directly into the trash can next to her.

Not long after Chen Zhao drove, he felt a car following him.

Chen Zhao looked at the car behind him and saw that it was Yin Luo's car just now.

Chen Zhao parked the car on the side of the road, and Yin Luo's car also parked behind it. Yin Luo got out of the car and walked to Chen Zhao's car.

"Sir, how about getting acquainted?" Yin Luo put his hands on Chen Zhao's car door.

"What's the matter with you?" Chen Zhao looked at Yin Luo.

"It's about Shallan."

"Then what?" Chen Zhao looked at Yin Luo.

"You know what Shalan's family does, right?"

"She and I are both boyfriend and girlfriend, do you think I don't know?"

"Do you want to get a lot of money?"

"How much?"

"Five million dollars."

Chen Zhao frowned and looked at Yin Luo. After a long time, he promised himself five million dollars. Is he so cheap?

"You take a look at my car first, and then negotiate the price with me." Chen Zhao rolled his eyes.

Chen Zhao and Yin Luo both drive convertibles, but their own car is a Porsche 918, while Yin Luo drives a car that costs less than one hundred thousand dollars.

Yinluo's expression froze: "Okay, ten million dollars."

"Tell me first what your plans are."
