Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

Everyone has a rebellious mentality.

Even Chen Zhao is the same.

This is like a beggar saying to Chen Zhao, don't buy this car, this car is not cost-effective.

Mesko Pule is very aware of the status difference between him and Chen Zhao.

Mesko Pule was not qualified to ask or order Chen Zhao.

The goal of Mesko Pule is to stop Lira Gaevich.

But he offended Chen Zhao first.

This is not a good start.

The things belong to Chen Zhao, and of course Chen Zhao will make decisions based on his own judgment.

Instead of letting others decide his choice.

"Mr. Chen, let's talk in private." Lila Gaevich smiled slightly.

"Go and talk over there." Chen Zhao said.

Mesko Pule wanted to follow, but was turned away by Chen Zhao's eyes.

The two of them arrived at a deserted place.

Lila Gaevich said: "Mr. Chen, in terms of net worth, you definitely have more money than me, so it doesn't matter how much money I pay in front of you."

Lira Gaevich had been weighing how to persuade Chen Zhao.

This is not easy, if he is facing an ordinary person.

He has many choices.

Give money, or give something that ordinary people don't have, or even promise to give the other person power.

But these conditions seemed a bit ridiculous in front of Chen Zhao.

Especially the one he usually uses to give the opponent strength.

If he told Chen Zhao this condition, Chen Zhao would probably confuse him.

That was the legendary child of the elements, Amanda Dill, pressed to the ground and rubbed.

The person who said he would blow his head off actually did it.

“But I’m very well-connected and I’m even connected to politics.”

Chen Zhao frowned. Chen Zhao had always avoided getting involved in politics.

The only person Chen Zhao knows who plays politics is Laurent, a former California congressman.

Now he is retired at home.

Because Chen Zhao always has an attitude of distrust towards the government.

Not because he was in a foreign country.

Even at home.

Politics is dirty.

Who knows when they will be sold out by those politicians.

"I don't understand what use this is for me." Chen Zhao said calmly.

To be honest, Chen Zhao's current influence may not be any worse than that of a politician.

Chen Zhao can even use his own capital to threaten a politician.

Lila Gaevich smiled. Political connections were only one of his bargaining chips.

If Chen Zhao is not interested, of course he has other bargaining chips.

He also understood Chen Zhao's resistance and distrust of politicians and the government.

In fact, the same is true for Lila Gaevich.

After all, to some extent, they are all aliens.

"I also have a special channel that allows me to obtain some magic materials, such as the demon blood ore from China, the ashes from the Holy Mountain in Japan, and the holy platinum from Europe. These magic materials all belong to the supernatural world in various countries and regions. Controlled materials are not allowed to be sold abroad, but I can get these and even introduce these channels to you."

Chen Zhao's heart moved. In recent times, Higashino Tianxi, Gakira, and Rouen Faxiben have been complaining about the scarcity of some magic materials.

As a result, they had to choose alternatives when casting weapons or magic props.

If we can get these connections, it will indeed be a good thing for the association.

"If you are willing to introduce these connections to my people, then I can provide you with a piece of Amanda Dill's flesh and blood."

This deal is not about money, but about the long-term future.

To be honest, the Supernatural Society's connections have always been limited by the government.

Only West has any ties to the government.

Networks in other fields have always been scarce.

The main reason for this is that the Paranormal Society has developed over the past twenty years or so.

It has always been a third- or fourth-rate organization.

No one looks down on the Supernatural Association, so naturally they have no interest in interacting with it.

"Mr. Chen, I still have a lot of connections in business." Lila Gaevich continued.

Business connections? Useless to myself.

Chen Zhao has always been casual about his needs for connections.

Although Chen Zhao also understands that the more and wider the network, the better, but Chen Zhao has always been undisciplined.

Even if Lira Gaevich introduced him to business connections, it would be difficult for Chen Zhao to maintain these connections.

"By the way, I want to ask a question." Chen Zhao said.

"What's the problem? Mr. Chen, please tell me."

"Isn't that Amanda Dill known as the Son of the Elements? But apart from the dark power I felt in him, I didn't find any other elemental magic in him."

"He is the son of the Elemental Lord, so of course he is called the Son of the Elements." Lila Gaevich said matter-of-factly: "Does Mr. Chen have any other understanding of this title?"

"Uh... no more." Chen Zhao originally thought that Amanda Dill should have other attributes.

As a result, there was a fight until she was beaten to death by Chen Zhao, and Amanda Dill had no other magical attributes.

"Okay, a piece of Amanda Dill's flesh and blood, I will send it to you later." Chen Zhao said.

Lira Gaevich still wants to continue to fight for it.

But he didn't have the capital to make Chen Zhao's heart move.

He used the contacts in Lila Gaevich's hands to exchange for a share of the flesh and blood of Amanda Dill that he dreamed of.

We can’t say who loses and who wins, we can only say that both parties are satisfied with the transaction.

But the initiative lies in Chen Zhao's hands.

Because Chen Zhao is the supplier, he also has absolute say.

Lira Gaevich is on the demand side, and the resources he holds are secondary resources.

In other words, he didn't know whether his resources were what Chen Zhao needed.

It needs to be screened by Chen Zhao.

"Mr. Chen, what do you think about the dispute between the white elves and the dark elves?"

"No opinion." Chen Zhao said directly.

Lila Gaevich wanted to gain support for himself and the Supernatural Association.

But Chen Zhao has no interest in this.

"Which of you wins and who loses means nothing to me. As long as your dispute does not involve ordinary people, I will not interfere." Chen Zhao said calmly: "But in Los Angeles, as long as your dispute involves ordinary people, then I and the Supernatural Society will not remain silent."

Chen Zhao also wanted to express his attitude.

Chen Zhao was unwilling to be used by Lira Gaevich.

And as an outsider, it was impossible for Chen Zhao to be their referee.

Lira Gaevich was a little disappointed.

Originally, he wanted to draw Chen Zhao to the dark elf camp.

In this way, the situation that was originally barely balanced could fall to the dark elves in an instant.

After all, in Los Angeles and even in California, Chen Zhao can be said to have absolute power.

The White Elves are likely to evacuate California because of Chen Zhao's presence.

It's a pity that Chen Zhao doesn't intend to intervene.
