Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"The sun is shining, the air is fresh... I like it here." Chen Zhao opened his arms to embrace the light.

It is a lively city, albeit with a slightly colder climate.

But this city is quite vibrant.

Of course, Fali and little Gelin didn't like it here.

They were fish all their lives. Although there are beaches in Montreal, they are not suitable for going into the water most of the time throughout the year.

The hottest months of July and August are only 20 degrees Celsius, and half of the year is around freezing.

On days without water, they will become dehydrated.

Little Ge Lin almost lost her spirit.

On weekdays, she spends several hours soaking in the Mirror Lake every day.

Of course, just distract her and she'll come alive in no time.

Chen Zhao didn't go out today, so Fali took little Ge Lin shopping.

Priority was given to lying on the hotel balcony, enjoying the warm sunshine.

This is a vacation, there is no mess, there is no need to save the world.

At this moment, Chen Zhao's phone rang.

"Wanda, Heima, help me find out who is calling."

Woof woof——

"West? Help me hang up." Chen Zhao said.

West looked helplessly at the phone that had gone silent.

It can only be replayed once.

"Hello." Chen Zhao finally answered the phone: "I hope you brought me good news and not something that made me sad."

"President...you just blocked my words when you spoke like this."

"Then it goes without saying, I'm hanging up the phone."

"No, no, don't hang up the phone." West said quickly: "To be precise, I did bring you good news."

"Oh? What's the good news?"

"That old guy Leon compromised. He called me yesterday."

"Is he compromising with you or with me?"

"this……"

West immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Chen Zhao is the president. If you want to compromise, you must compromise with Chen Zhao, not with him.

"He just can't let go of his shame and wants me to give him a message." West said quickly.

"That means we haven't completely compromised yet, so don't worry about him." Chen Zhao said lazily: "By the way, have you made plans? Where are you going for vacation?"

"This... not yet. I think Hawaii is good, but they say it's too close."

"Money doesn't matter. We still have so much money anyway. If you have family and friends who want to go with you, bring them with you."

"President, what if Leon still refuses to bow to you? Do you really want to dissolve the association?"

"It won't be disbanded. At the worst, we just need to find a financial backer...that is, a sponsor." Chen Zhao said calmly.

"Okay, I won't disturb you anymore." West hung up the phone.

…

Leon hasn't slept all night.

After Team Lightning entered the base, there was no news.

Leon was almost certain that Team Lightning had been completely wiped out.

And the situation started to get complicated.

If what's inside comes out, the city of Los Angeles will be in danger.

And once this happens, then the head of the Counter-Terrorism Operations Department will be done.

what to do? Do you really want to bow to that Chinese guy?

The most critical point is, are he and his Supernatural Association really capable of solving this problem?

Leon felt completely unsure.

Forget it, since everyone has bowed to West.

It is not impossible to bow to that Chinese again.

As long as he can resolve this matter and keep his position, it doesn't matter even if he kowtows to him.

Leon finally made up his mind and dialed Chen Zhao's phone number.

"Mr. Chen."

"I don't buy insurance, and I don't need health supplements, thank you."

With that said, Chen Zhao hung up the phone without giving the other party a chance to speak.

This bastard, he definitely did it on purpose!

He definitely did it on purpose!

Leon was so angry that he smashed it again.

After venting his anger, Leon Anna suppressed his anger and dialed Chen Zhao's number again.

"Didn't I tell you before that I don't buy insurance? No matter what product you sell to me, I'm not interested."

"Mr. Chen, I am not a salesman...I am..."

"Oh...are you from a bank? I don't buy financial products either."

"I'm not from a bank, I'm..."

"Oh I see, you're Dale."

"I'm not, I am..."

"Wait... let me guess who you are, I guessed it, Rasfa, right?"

"no."

"Ethan?"

"No."

"Louis?"

"Chen, did you call me?" Lewis poked his head in.

Chen Zhao waved his hand and continued to tease Leon.

"Mr. Chen, I don't want to waste time with you. Just tell me what you want."

"What do I want? Am I familiar with you?" Chen Zhao curled his lips and said disapprovingly.

"I can forget your offense against me..."

"Never let things go by the wayside. It's all my fault. Everything is my fault. I'm sorry. Goodbye."

Chen Zhao didn't bother to listen anymore and hung up the phone directly.

It is not difficult to imagine how ugly Leon's face looked at this moment.

Dial Chen Zhao again, Leon said as quickly as possible: "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, I take back what I said before, I need you."

"Didn't you say you don't need me? Don't you need the Supernatural Association?"

"What do you want?"

"Huh? Attitude, attitude must be correct. We have a saying in China that says: stand firm when you are beaten, and admit when you are wrong."

"Mr. Chen, I hope that the Paranormal Society and the Counter-Terrorism Operations Department can regain the close relationship they had in the past."

"First of all, I need to correct you on two mistakes. First, the Occult Society and the Counter-Terrorism Operations Department have never been close. Second, have you ever heard that water cannot be recovered?"

"Mr. Chen, I am very sincere."

"Sincerity? Sorry, I don't see sincerity. In addition, I have found a sponsor. This sponsor is very generous and has given us 10 million US dollars. From now on, our Supernatural Association will be this sponsor. Personal thug."

"How is this possible?"

"After all, we also need to eat. You don't know how tight our association's funds are..."

"I give fifteen million dollars a year."

"No, if you give us US$15 million, we will have to pay US$10 million back to the sponsor. The remaining five million dollars will not be enough."

"Twenty million dollars."

"When the money comes in, we can continue talking."

As soon as he heard that Leon had given him 20 million US dollars in funding, Chen Zhao's face changed instantly.

"Mr. Chen, I can't give it to you now. Our Anti-Terrorism Operations Department also needs to wait for the allocation of national defense funds, which will not be until January next year at the latest."

"Oh, that's right. That's just right. Our Supernatural Association is also on vacation. We can continue the discussion in January next year."

Leon is about to transform into a Spartan, I have never seen him so shameless.

"I'm going to get some money for you right now."

Chen Zhao has long known that the anti-terrorism department has always been the most generously funded department.

Every government department in the United States is short of funds, but the Anti-Terrorism Operations Department never lacks funds. This is because the United States often provokes others, so it has to be wary of others.

"Oh, by the way, our association headquarters suffered an attack recently, causing it to be razed to the ground, so we still need some money to build the headquarters."

"I'm going out!" Leon's heart was bleeding at this moment.
