Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

On his way home, Chen Zhao received another call.

"Hey, West, what's up?"

"President, the psychic team has begun to expand its recruitment again."

"As expected of the Ministry of Counter-Terrorism and Security, which is supporting us. This is really a lot of money."

To raise a psychic, it is not enough to pay them a higher salary than ordinary people.

The money required for training, nutrition, and magic replenishment by a psychic is much greater than the daily consumption of a professional athlete.

There are also some special types of psychics, such as alchemists and mechanical psychics, which require even greater fees.

The cost of maintaining operations of a small and medium-sized company is about the same as that of an alchemist.

Therefore, the Supernatural Association only has Rouen Faxi as an alchemist.

There is only one healing psychic.

If possible, Chen Zhao would also like to find more alchemists and more healing psychics.

But in that case, the burden would be too heavy for the Supernatural Association.

What kind of organization size will have what kind of member structure.

"President, are you going to let them continue to grow like this? Sooner or later they will naively think that they are enough to challenge us and start a direct war with us."

The people of the Supernatural Association are naturally stronger than ordinary psychics.

However, the membership structure of the Supernatural Association is somewhat special.

Most people have their own families.

It is not the kind of lonely family where one person has enough food and the whole family is not hungry.

So once a real war breaks out, both the Supernatural Association and the Supernatural Society will lose.

Because this is likely to affect their original families.

So in fact, both Chen Zhao and West are avoiding a real war.

All the strength that Chen Zhao showed in front of the psychic team.

Isn't he promoting his power to them?

Let them be more careful when making choices.

Chen Zhao thought about it and said, "They should be preparing to conquer the Bermuda Devil's Nest, so in this conquest, all the people they recruited should be consumed."

"They have recruited quite a few people this time."

"Then what are your plans? Are you going to cause trouble for them?"

"This behavior is gross and inappropriate," West said.

"What do you mean?"

"Let's go and observe to see if there are any outstanding seeds who might be able to win over to our Supernatural Association."

"Do you think we don't have enough people?"

"It's not not enough, but for the next scarlet mission, we plan to challenge some difficult tasks, so the current manpower alone may not be enough."

"Then can I help a little bit?"

"No, please don't, President, if you intervene rashly again this time, I will be really angry."

"Okay, okay, I won't interfere this time, I swear."

West knows one thing very well, Chen Zhao is also one of the top ones in the supernatural world.

Maybe even this one can be omitted.

If Chen Zhao intervenes, most of the actions in this world will no longer be actions.

It was a unilateral killing.

"Okay, when will you go to observe? If you encounter any good seedlings, remember to notify me."

"I have a list now, some of them are in Los Angeles, and I can go and observe them now," West said.

"Okay, where are you now."

"It seems that we are not far from Mirror Lake. President, are you at home now?"

"I'm coming home, almost to Dashan Town."

"Okay then, I'll wait for you in the town."

Not long after, Chen Zhao met West.

"Where are we now? In town?"

"No, in the next town over," West said.

The target person they are looking for now lives in the town of Anders.

It is less than fifteen kilometers away from Dashan Town.

Chen Zhao looked at the information West handed him. The target person, Lindsay Beyoncé, was twenty-five years old, female, unemployed, with a bad personality. She had been to a juvenile detention center for stealing while in school.

I have just arrived in Los Angeles for less than five days and am currently staying at my uncle's house in Anders Town.

"What kind of magic does this woman have?" Chen Zhao asked.

"It's not clear yet. There are currently records of her using magic twice, once to rob a bank, and once to protect her family."

Chen Zhao and West arrived at Anders Town.

Anders Town is much more desolate than Dashan Town.

The towns are about the same size, but Anders Town is not as lively as Dashan Town.

After all, Dashan Town has a Dashan Beer production line.

Thousands of direct jobs have been created for Dashan Town.

There are countless indirect business chains.

There is no company like Dashan Beer in the town of Anders.

So most people here work outside.

So the conditions here are quite different.

When Chen Zhao and West came to Anders Town, they were quite conspicuous.

Especially Chen Zhao's car.

It's just too conspicuous.

Chen Zhao parked the car on the side of the road and then walked into the fast food restaurant on the side of the road.

The owner of the fast food restaurant who was originally in front of the cashier was stunned when he saw Chen Zhao and West.

But soon, the owner of the fast food restaurant ran out of the checkout counter and came to Chen Zhao and West.

"Mr. Chen, hello, hello, welcome."

Chen Zhao looked at the fast food restaurant owner in surprise: "Hello, do we know each other?"

"Hello, my daughter works at Dashan Brewery, so I have the honor to meet you. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"It's nothing. My friend and I want to eat something. Please bring us some food." Chen Zhao said.

Although Dashan Beer and Dashan Town Government have an agreement, priority will be given to hiring residents of Dashan Town.

However, this priority is under the same conditions and does not necessarily have to be Dashan Town residents.

Therefore, residents from surrounding towns still have the opportunity to enter Dashan Town to work.

"Okay, please wait a moment." The owner of the fast food restaurant quickly ran to the backstage.

Not long after, a woman wearing a crop top and shorts came out from backstage carrying a plate.

"Here's what you ordered, please use it." The woman threw the plate on the table, turned around and left.

"Beyoncé, be careful, that's Mr. Chen, a very rich man."

Both Chen Zhao and West heard the quarrel between the fast food restaurant owner and the woman coming from the backstage.

"So what, what does it have to do with me? No matter how rich he is, it doesn't matter to you, uncle."

"Your sister Nicole works in his brewery. Do you want to make her lose her job?"

"If he dares to cost Sister Nicole her job, I will kill him."

"Be honest with me. You can't offend that person. It is said that there used to be two gangs in Dashan Town. They offended that person and then disappeared overnight."

"I'm not afraid."
