Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"Boss, why don't you let me teach that bastard Asian a lesson?" Weier said angrily.

But she only dared to say this after Chen Zhao left.

The old woman Mephisto glanced at Weier: "He is a reinforcement type. In such a small space, he can tear you apart before you can release your magic."

"What's more, behind him is the Supernatural Association. There is no need for us to offend an organization."

"What's there to be afraid of in the Supernatural Association? Over the years, the Supernatural Association has been like a waste concentration camp."

"I heard that the Supernatural Association has expanded its recruitment and has added many capable newcomers." Mephisto said, "For example, that Asian guy."

"Is he considered powerful? He's just an enhancement type, not to mention a wizard."

The information Mephisto can get is basically what customers hear when they come to the magic store to buy things.

After all, she has no family or power, so it is impossible for her to form an intelligence department.

And he hasn’t had a fight with anyone for decades.

The information available is also limited.

…

Chen Zhao first got into the car driven by West.

He looked at his clothes and said, "West, take off your clothes and let me wear them. I'll pick you up at the airport later."

West looked at Hailis and Moore who were following him. Their clothes were obviously not suitable for Chen Zhao.

After Chen Zhao put on West's clothes, he immediately felt short.

After all, West is old, and Chen Zhao's figure is only average when compared with Caucasians.

But Bi West was still much stronger, so Chen Zhao felt tight.

Even the slightest exertion will burst the clothes.

"Forget it, I'd better go buy clothes by myself." Chen Zhao shook his head: "You go back first."

Fortunately, this is Downey Street, and the street is full of famous brands.

I spent thousands of dollars to change my clothes.

He threw the salesperson's phone number into the trash can outside the door.

Chen Zhao adjusted his collar. Suitable clothes were still more comfortable than random clothes.

However, as soon as I left the clothing store, I was bumped on the shoulder.

The person who bumped into Chen Zhao's shoulder was a man of about the same size as him.

But this man has black or white hair.

This man didn't bump into Chen Zhao's shoulder intentionally, but his eyes were distracted and he was a little distracted.

After bumping into Chen Zhao's shoulder, he said sorry.

Chen Zhao made eye contact with the man.

Let's talk about this man's kindness. This man smells of blood.

But looking at his eyes, he looked like he had been hit by something, and he looked uneasy.

Chen Zhao subconsciously touched his pocket to see if there was anything missing.

Of course this action was also seen by the man.

The man was a little angry, glared at Chen Zhao and left.

Chen Zhao was also quite embarrassed. His behavior was indeed quite unfriendly.

Chen Zhao waited for another hour.

Then we slowly headed to the airport.

It was only four o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the airport.

Although Alex's flight landed at five o'clock.

However, it was not until half past five that Chen Zhao saw Alex walking out of the airport pick-up aisle.

After nearly a year of not seeing each other, Alex hasn't changed much.

Beautiful sister-in-law...

Of course, Alex's hairstyle has changed and she has a short haircut, which makes her look a bit more heroic.

He is dressed in plain white, loose trousers with a few dark vine flowers embroidered on the trousers. His top is a pure cotton vest and a small suit jacket.

He still has that shrewd and capable eyes, and still looks proud and confident.

But every time Alex looked at Chen Zhao, there would be a bit of dissatisfaction and hostility.

That was true a year ago, and it is still true today one year later.

When Alex walked out of the airport, the briefcase in her hand was raised in front of Chen Zhao.

"What?"

"It's your honor to help the lady carry the bag." Alex said matter-of-factly.

"Miss Alex, you seem to have forgotten that I am your employer, for the time being."

Alex took a step forward, took Chen Zhao's wrist, rested her head on Chen Zhao's shoulder, picked up the phone with her other hand, and said with a smile: "Come on, smile."

"What?" Chen Zhao looked at the phone subconsciously.

Click——

Alex immediately let go of Chen Zhao: "By the way, what's your girlfriend's phone number?"

Chen Zhao's cheeks twitched, he grabbed Alex's briefcase, and looked at Alex angrily: "Delete the photo."

"Can you keep it as a souvenir for me?"

"I have a company that currently does not have a legal advisor. Recently, my company plans to form a legal team." Chen Zhao said calmly.

Alex quickly deleted the photo.

"Are you going to hire me long-term? My fees are not cheap."

Alex has her own law firm.

In fact, Alex came this time not only because the client was Chen Zhao, but also because little Gelin's birthday was coming soon.

That's why she took the initiative to come here.

The legal team presented by Chen Zhao was quite attractive to her.

There are many lawyers in the law firm, if Chen Zhao leaves the affairs of the legal advisory team to her.

Then the law firm's business will increase a lot.

In fact, the so-called legal team does not only serve Chen Zhao's company.

They are also able to accept business from other people or companies.

It just cannot exist as a team. That is to say, when Chen Zhao's company needs legal support, they must give priority to Chen Zhao's company's affairs.

"Don't you want to stay in Los Angeles? This way you can increase the number of times you can see little Ge Lin." Chen Zhao said with a smile: "So can the cost be reduced?"

"I want to see little Gelin, but don't lower the fee. Don't you feel ashamed to use your daughter as a bargaining chip to negotiate? If you don't want little Gelin to know about your shameless behavior when she grows up, you'd better raise the fee."

"You threaten me with this matter, which shows that you are not a good person. If you don't want little Ge Lin to know your face, the fee will be halved."

Alex knew that Chen Zhao was a university professor and also knew that Chen Zhao was quite rich.

And she also knew that Chen Zhao had a special status and seemed to be engaged in some shady activities.

In comparison, she has seen Chen Zhao's men, and even seen Chen Zhao kill people with his own hands.

But she really didn't know that Chen Zhao actually had a company.

Moreover, a legal team must be formed. For ordinary small and medium-sized companies, having only one legal advisor is enough.

Companies that want to form a legal team can only be large companies.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to have enough funds to support the costs of a legal team.

After all, a legal team costs at least two to three million U.S. dollars a year. If a company's annual profits are only ten million U.S. dollars, it would be crazy to form a legal team.
