Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

When Chen Zhao arrived at Los Angeles International Airport, it was only nine o'clock in the morning.

The person who came to pick up Chen Zhao today was not Fali, Portia, or Jefla, but Demi.

Not long ago, the two of them were sworn enemies.

Chen Zhao never thought that this woman would come to pick him up at the airport.

Of course, it's better to call it a pick-up than a contact.

Demi got into Chen Zhao's car.

"Chen, I hope you can keep your promise."

"This is a check for ten million US dollars. It goes to my own account. You can rest assured." Chen Zhao handed the check to Demi.

"No, I hope you can transfer this money to a loan shark. It is a sum of money owed by my father, St. Ann Financial Company."

"Forehead……"

"Is there a problem?"

"St. Ann Financial Company? I don't think you need to pay back this money."

"Why?"

"Their company has been dissolved."

"This is impossible... I have investigated their company, and the background is very complicated, and their boss's family has great influence in politics and the underworld."

"I drove away their boss, and now his boss is probably hiding in some sewer."

"You? Why did you attack them? Do you have a grudge against them?"

"I can't say I'm angry, but it's just unpleasant anyway. Then he wanted to kill me, so he fought back. Although he didn't kill him, as long as I'm still here, he won't dare to come back."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm pretty sure." Chen Zhao nodded and said.

Demi looked at Chen Zhao in surprise.

Chen Zhao's power seems to be greater than imagined.

"You make your own decision on this check. If you want to pay it back for your father, just pay it back. I don't care about other uses. It's yours anyway." Chen Zhao said.

Demi put the check away, even she couldn't refuse the huge sum of money.

Of course, if she accepted this check, it meant that she would no longer be able to distinguish her grudges with Chen Zhao.

"Tell me about this operation."

"Should we also talk about the conflict with Ham?"

"I heard that Ham and his men were discovered by the Mexican police two days ago and were buried in the desert and exposed to the sun for a long time." Demi stared at Chen Zhao.

Apart from Chen Zhao, she couldn't think of anyone else who would do such a thing or be able to do such a thing.

And there was no killer. In the end, the police only found the person after receiving anonymous calls.

"I'm not interested in hearing about your grievances. I want to know what happened in Sara's laboratory."

"This process is not too complicated. Ham's and I's teams were separated as soon as they entered Sara's laboratory. Then I released a large number of failed experiments and caused chaos in Sara's laboratory. However, Sara's laboratory's defense The strength is very strong. If I hadn't finally found the button of the self-destruction device, I'm afraid this operation would have ended in failure."

"Didn't the people in Sarah's laboratory use that kind of anesthetic mist?"

"Of course there is no problem in an open place, but the building structure of the underground laboratory base does not have any ventilation. Once they use that kind of fog, it will bring more trouble to themselves, so they did not choose to use the fog. That’s understandable.”

That mist also contains evolutionary spores, and the researchers must be very aware of the danger of those evolutionary spores.

Once the fog is used, it is likely to cause biochemical pollution of the entire experimental base.

"How did Hamm die in the end?"

"He died heroically." Chen Zhao said, "He blew himself up to kill the enemy."

There was only relief on Demi's face, but no regrets or regrets.

For her, Hamm's death was the best news.

But this operation is not perfect.

Her original plan was to leave a few soldiers and come back alive.

But in the end, there was no one left alive.

Now, she needs to worry about how to write an action report.

It's like the police reported a shooting.

The military also has similar requirements. A military operation requires a report.

Generally, they are written by personnel and soldiers involved in the operation.

And if all participants are killed in action, then the military personnel directly under their superiors will be responsible for writing the report.

And this kind of report without human witnesses or physical evidence is very troublesome.

If you write poorly, you may even be court-martialed.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao drove Demi to the city and drove away.

Chen Zhao and her had just completed a deal, so they needed to keep a certain distance now.

Chen Zhao returned to Mingyue Villa, and Portia and Revula came out to greet Chen Zhao.

"Boss, you're back."

"Humph." Chen Zhao tilted his head and ignored Portia.

Portia was embarrassed, she knew she had done a bad job.

There were obviously flight tickets available at other times, but she had to choose the earliest flight.

"Boss, don't be angry. I was saving money for you. The flights at that time were the cheapest. Look, didn't you save more than a hundred dollars?"

"Am I short of that hundred dollars?"

"Gefla, give the gifts I brought back to the children. By the way, I brought you a bunch of Mexican fire opals."

Opal is also called opal because the minerals contained in it form a strange material after geological precipitation and extrusion. When light shines on it, diffraction and refraction will occur due to the minerals in it. .

It has the flame of ruby, the blue of sapphire, the mystery of amethyst, and the vitality of emerald.

Currently, the main producing countries are Mexico and Australia, which are famous for their bright and colorful colors.

In Europe Opal is a star struck down by lightning, while in Mexico Opal symbolizes hope.

The Mexican fire opal that Chen Zhao bought for Refla was expensive and cheap.

At least Chen Zhao felt that eight thousand dollars was not expensive.

Gevula was indifferent to this, but Portia snatched the fire opal from Gevula's hand with a sparkle in her eyes.

"So beautiful." This string of fire opal is mainly dark red, with iridescence brewing in the pearlescent light. The color is fascinating.

Portia turned to look at Chen Zhao: "Boss, where is mine?"

"What?"

"A gift."

"what gift?"

"Hevla has a gift, so I should have one too."

"Gifts are meant to be given from the heart."

"What do you think?"

Chen Zhao took out a bottle from the suitcase.

Portia took the bottle, which was a transparent bottle, and then saw nothing.

"What?"

"This is what I want."

"But there's nothing in there."

"No, I filled it with Mexicali air. Although you can't go to Mexicali, you can feel the Mexicali air. Now you will feel much better."

"Haha..." Portia gritted her teeth and looked at Chen Zhao.
