Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"There are righteous people like you guarding this world. I believe in you. Don't let me down." Chen Zhao calmly shied away from his responsibility.

Chen Zhao was not interested in old man John's righteousness.

There was even a bit of resistance, even though Old John had no selfish motives.

Chen Zhao is like this, or everyone is like this.

Everyone has a rebellious mentality.

The more others ask you to do something, the less willing you are to do it.

After all, Chen Zhao is just a mortal, a layman.

And Chen Zhao really didn't want to have anything to do with the church.

Greater power often means more trouble.

It would be even more troublesome if someone came to him out of nowhere and gave him a commission.

Therefore, Chen Zhao often stayed away from them.

"Sorry, Your Majesty the Pope, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Old John nodded slightly: "Go ahead."

He didn't intend to force it, and at Chen Zhao's level, he couldn't force it at will.

Chen Zhao turned and left.

The next day, Chen Zhao and his family left Rome.

Chen Zhao and his family have been playing in Rome for several days.

Almost all the places that should be played have been played.

But Chen Zhao is not going to other countries or cities.

Instead, he went straight back to Los Angeles.

Although everyone came out to play, they still felt tired even while playing.

No matter how fun it is outside, it's not as comfortable and relaxing as your own home.

Even the energetic children will look tired after a few days.

After hearing that they were going home, every child was immediately happy.

But on the plane, the children turned into eggplants beaten by frost and died again.

It wasn't until the plane landed that these children regained their spirits.

This is Xin Li's first time at Mirror Lake Manor.

The first thing Chen Zhao did was to take Xin Li to choose a room.

"Xinli, which room do you like?"

"I also can."

"It doesn't matter if you don't. After all, this is the bedroom you want to live in. You will need to live in this bedroom for a long time in the future, so you must choose a bedroom you like."

"I can do it." Xin Li said the same thing.

"No." Chen Zhao said resolutely: "Nothing is OK. Everyone has their own preferences and aesthetics, so don't make do with it, and we don't need to make do with it."

Xin Li was helpless, but also very moved.

After all, Chen Zhao regarded her as a true relative.

"Then I want the first room on the third floor, the one where you can see the sunrise."

"What about the bedroom style? Does it need to be changed? Mr. Felwood should be happy to help us change the style."

"No, I just like the style of that room."

Although nothing major happened when I got home, there were still some trivial matters.

For example, there are several documents piled up in Denver that need Chen Zhao to sign in person.

The day Steven learned that Chen Zhao was back, he came over to complain.

After all, Chen Zhao's family went out to play, and he was still busy.

Chen Zhao's words made him really plan to start shooting a new movie.

As soon as the news of the new movie was revealed, he was completely harassed by the film companies and could not rest.

In addition to the big six, there are also small and medium-sized film companies that want to cooperate with him.

Don't look at those small and medium-sized film companies that can't come up with so much money.

But as long as Steven's name is on it, it is easy to raise enough funds.

There are people waiting for him at the door of his house every day.

The Big Six even used their own resources to put pressure on Steven.

Anyway, it’s about getting an investment quota.

Two super hit movies have made Steven the most successful director in the world.

As for Chen Zhao, an outsider, no matter how close his relationship with Steven is, it is impossible to get an investment quota.

This is the rule of Hollywood. If someone outside the industry can make money just by playing a ticket, many people will be jealous.

If another layman robs money, the people in the circle will be unhappy.

Although the money does not belong to them.

But this is their cake, and just because they can't eat it doesn't mean they are willing to watch others eat it.

…

Supernatural Society Headquarters——

"Is this the golden apple?"

Everyone gathered around the golden apple, curiously looking at the legendary treasure in front of them.

To be sure, golden apples are not real gold.

Instead, the outer skin looks like gold.

Judging from the texture, it should still be that of a plant.

"I don't know what it tastes like." West licked his lips.

Rouen Fasheben immediately moved the golden apple away: "West, this is ours, don't mess around, I will break your teeth."

"Cheapskate." West curled his lips.

"It's a pity that the golden apple tree could not be transplanted back."

"It's useless even if it's transplanted back. It takes three thousand years for a golden apple tree to bear fruit. None of us have such a long lifespan and can wait for three thousand years." Moide's face was filled with regret.

To everyone, the golden apple tree is of infinite value.

However, due to the long waiting time, it is also relatively useless.

So although everyone felt a little pity, they didn't take it too seriously.

The most pity is of course Moide.

After all, he majored in botany, and plants were his major.

If he could get the legendary plant, it would also be a great help to his plant research.

At this moment, Chen Zhao took out a branch and threw it in front of Mo Yide.

"Take it, I don't know if you can farm it, it depends on your ability."

When Moide saw this branch, his eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately grabbed it in his hand: "President...this is..."

"I caught it by chance when we were in Mount Olympus," Chen Zhao said.

How could Chen Zhao not know the value of the golden apple tree?

However, because he needed to ensure the safety of his own people first, Chen Zhao had no time to take care of the golden apple tree.

And the golden apple tree is so huge.

It was bigger than a castle.

Even Chen Zhao's space ring can't fit in it.

So Chen Zhao broke off a branch and brought it back.

"More or less, if you can't feed this branch, then there's nothing I can do."

"Moide, we are all waiting for you to cultivate golden apples, and then we can all eat them."

"Don't let us down."

"If you are willing to wait three thousand years, I will definitely cultivate golden apples."

"Why don't you die? If I live another three thousand years, do I still need to eat your golden apples?"

"How do you plan to distribute the golden apples?" West asked curiously.

Chen Zhao hasn't told them yet about the entanglement of Rouen Faxiben, Xin Li, Kelan, Moore and Raisa about the golden apple.

Therefore, everyone is also very curious about the distribution plan of golden apples.

"They plan to find four more legendary treasures of equal value, and then distribute the golden apples."
