Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

Originally, Portia was somewhat resistant to Refla becoming Chen Zhao's personal assistant.

But after Chen Zhao left, she suddenly realized that it was really good.

Because Jevora works very hard.

And won't complain at all.

She could just lie down and rest, Revla was more dedicated than her.

Everything can be done in Mingyue Villa.

"Miss Portia, you'd better get up and work, because your boss, my master, is already on his way back." the housekeeper system reminded.

Portia jumped up like a frightened bird.

She has now formed a nervous reaction to Chen Zhao.

Everyone will react when they hear Chen Zhao's name.

But Portia quickly realized that Chen Zhao was still on the way, so why was she reacting so loudly?

Portia collapsed on the sofa again.

"Comfortable?"

"Comfortable...ah..." Portia suddenly jumped up from the sofa.

Chen Zhao put his hands in his trouser pockets and looked at Portia with a smile: "It seems that this is how you work when I'm not around."

"No, that's not the case... Jevora finished everything today, so I took a short rest."

"Really? Why is Refla still working? Is this called the end?"

"Boss, didn't the butler say you are still on the way? Liar, he is a liar."

"Miss Portia, when I said the master was on the way, it was on the way in. Maybe I should modify my expression."

"No need to amend, I think this way of expressing myself is in my interest."

"Boss." Jevula came over and said, "Boss, I'm going to prepare lunch now."

"You're not responsible for lunch."

"Jevra, the boss has a magical chef who never shows up. As long as we don't enter the kitchen, every lunch and dinner will be automatically prepared and then disappear." Portia has learned well now and knows that she can't be found. people.

Once she felt someone was making lunch in the kitchen, so she took the opportunity and ran into the kitchen.

As a result, no one was seen, and something was indeed cooking in the kitchen pot.

Then she was pressed in the kitchen by Chen Zhao and took over the kitchen work.

Since then, Portia has completely lost interest in it.

Never bother the mysterious chef at work again.

Refla looked at Chen Zhao curiously.

"Portia, have you heard the story of the Snail Girl?"

"never heard of that."

"A long time ago, a young man picked up a snail and raised it in a basin at home. The snail became a snail girl. Every time the young man went out to farm, the snail girl would help him with housework and cooking. Laundry.”

Portia rolled her eyes: "Boss, do you want to tell me that there is a snail girl in your family?"

"You can understand that."

"I believe you are the only one who has ghosts."

Although Revla didn't believe in the snail girl.

But she knew it must be a supernatural force.

After all, Chen Zhao himself is a powerful psychic.

So it wouldn't be surprising to have some sort of supernatural presence in his home.

Sure enough, as Portia said, at twelve o'clock, Chen Zhao asked them to go to the kitchen to serve food.

Jefla discovered that there were some holes less than 60 centimeters in the house, including the kitchen.

These holes should be for some small creatures to enter and exit.

They should all be short, psychic supernatural beings.

Portia worked here for more than two months and found no clues.

Jefla had already made a rough guess in less than half a day after arriving.

Of course, this is also related to the inequality of information they have.

After lunch, Portia and Refla took the dishes to the kitchen and finally could rest.

Chen Zhao forced every child to take a nap.

This is Chen Zhao's rigid requirement and cannot be refuted.

Not without the kids trying to resist.

Then Chen Zhao will directly give him a complete package of Banshee's Enchantment and let him sleep with him until the end of the world.

As time went by, no child refused to take a nap anymore.

Jevola and Portia were chatting in the yard, enjoying the sun and the sea breeze.

Chen Zhao took some drinks, beer and snacks and sat next to them.

"Refla, where is your original job?"

"Resigned."

"Then your company won't cause trouble for you?"

"I have accomplished certain achievements, and no one will cause trouble for me." Jefla said calmly.

"Boss, Jevola, are you metaphorizing something? Jevola was originally a killer in a killer organization, but she was tired of her career as a killer and decided to give up her past life and live like an ordinary person. And Jevola I have come into contact with the secrets of the killer organization, so I am worried that the killer organization will send a killer to silence me, is that right?”

"Yes." Chen Zhao nodded.

"Ah? Did I get it right?"

Portia jumped up, but when she saw the playful mouths of Chen Zhao and Revula, she immediately understood that she had been fooled again.

At this time, Chen Zhao's phone rang again.

Chen Zhao went back to the house to answer the phone.

"Lao Zhang, how are you?"

"The Dragon King of the Dragon Clan agreed, but he asked for Tugu's heart as evidence."

"It's not something you, an old fox, want for yourself, is it?"

"There must be the most basic trust between you and me. I feel very sad when you say this, you know."

"Stop talking nonsense, have you got the instructions for Huang Yuxian Mansion?"

"No, you think the library in Qingcheng Mountain is a library. Even if it is a library, you must have a library card."

"You said it was easy."

Chen Zhao and Zhang Tianyi called.

It's basically bullshit and trash talk every time.

Both sides are still enjoying it.

"Speaking of which, Chen Zhao, how about the two of us join forces to solve those big troubles that break the sky? I'll be in charge of contacting you, and you'll be in charge of taking action. We'll split the benefits equally."

"Get away from me as far as forever."

"Don't be unhappy, all my connections are worth tens of thousands of dollars."

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. Call me after you know how to use Huang Yuxian Mansion. Don't call me blindly if you have nothing to do. International long distance calls are very expensive."

"By the way, Chen Zhao, are you really unwilling to come back?"

"What are you doing back?"

"After all, China is a large area with the most active supernatural powers, and there are more masters. If you come back, you will be able to come into contact with more psychics. The atmosphere here will be different."

"I like the feeling that there are no tigers in the mountains and the monkey is king. I can dominate in the United States, so why should I go to a place full of competition." Chen Zhao said in one sentence that he has no ambition.

"It's okay to come back and participate in some small activities. After all, whether it's the East or the West, constitutional government is all about communication, each getting what it needs and complementing each other's shortcomings."

"I noticed that lately, every time we talk on the phone, you ask me to go back to China. Are you thinking of some shady thing again?"
