Demons Beside You

Chapter 579: A Misunderstanding

The police came. David brought his men over.

Chen Zhao and David hugged warmly.

“Chen, it’s my birthday this weekend.” Instead of asking about the situation, David’s first words were to invite Chen Zhao to his party.

“Sunday?” Chen Zhao asked. “Fali and I’ll be there. Oh, and how long will I have to stay at the station?”

“Okay, let’s talk about what happened here. I hope you can give me a good reason. Otherwise, you’ll miss my party.”

“Your subordinate will tell you what happened,” Chen Zhao said.

“Leader,” Sharan said. “These people purposely attacked us. That guy even shot at Mr. Chen with a gun.”

“Are you hurt?” David asked.

“I’m fine.” Sharan had gotten hit on her shoulder and arms, but she could take it.

“And him?” David looked at Tiger.

“My student, Tiger, professional boxer and a college student at UCLA. The one I crushed the jaw of is one of the bankers. He’d attacked Tiger a few days ago. This time, because Tiger won the competition, he lost a fortune, so he carried out this attack.”

“Okay, take your student back now. I’ll call you if it’s needed.”

“Thanks, David.”

“We’re bros.”

Chen Zhao led Tiger to the car.

Tonight, Tiger had actually gotten frightened.

Chen Zhao had fought many times before him, but even at UCLA, he’d only broken Zanla Douglas’ arm.

The other students had gotten beaten up, but they’d only needed casts. No one had any lasting effects.

This time, Chen Zhao’s actions had been bloody.

He’d ripped the man’s arms straight off.

That bloody scene increased Tiger’s fear and respect for Chen Zhao.

“Tiger, I helped you bet $50,000 at that b*stard’s bank. According to the odds, you’ll get $375,000.”

“Huh?” Tiger was dazed.

He didn’t think that Chen Zhao would actually help him bet.

No, instead of betting, it was more like giving him money.

If this bet had lost, Chen Zhao would be the one paying out of his pocket.

In other words, it was Tiger’s if they’d won and Chen Zhao’s if they’d lost.

Tiger was suddenly so touched.

“However, I can’t give you this money at once,” Chen Zhao said. “I’ll give you $20,000 for winning this round. You can use the money to help your family. Of course, you can also use it to improve your own life. But you’re just starting your career. Don’t think about using the money to go party and f*ck around. I’ll allow you to rest occasionally, but if you dare to touch things you shouldn’t, I’ll throw you to the sharks.”

“Mr. Chen, I swear I’ll never touch those things.”

Chen Zhao knew that the sports and entertainment circle had high drug rates.

Many entertainment and sports celebrities ruined their lives over these things.

So, as long as Tiger was still under his control, Chen Zhao wouldn’t allow him to touch those things.

Even if he so much as tried them, Chen Zhao would make him regret it.

“Mr. Chen, will those people take revenge on my family?”

“Why do you think Gaia didn’t come today?” Chen Zhao glanced at Tiger. “The scariest thing about Gaia isn’t how good she is at fighting. Instead, it’s that she can make anyone she wants disappear without a sound, even a gangster.”

Tiger shuddered. As expected, he couldn’t mess with either Chen Zhao or Gaia.

He promised himself to never get into a conflict with them.

Chen Zhao patted Tiger. “Okay, you’re home.”

After dropping Tiger off, Chen Zhao planned on going home too.

But after three blocks, someone suddenly crashed into Chen Zhao’s car.

Chen Zhao stopped, but then a figure rushed out.

“Get out, now!” The man came to the window, aiming a gun at Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao rolled down his window and swore. “F*ck you.”

“F*ck, Chen, why’s it you?”

“F*ck, that’s my question. Why is it you?”

Chen Zhao was speechless. So was Morgery.

This was like a flood destroying a water god’s temple.

Just then, a few other people rushed over. Seeing Morgery standing beside Chen Zhao’s car, they started shooting.

Morgery ducked straight into Chen Zhao’s car.

“You want to kill me?”

“I didn’t know it’s you.” Morgery was frustrated too.

Chen Zhao was the one he trusted the most in the world.

Chen Zhao was also the only one he wouldn’t hurt.

But who would’ve known that he would run into Chen Zhao when he wanted to steal a car?

Faced with so many people shooting, Chen Zhao could only duck below the windshield.

“Floor it and charge over,” Morgery said. “I’ll take care of the rest.”

Without looking up, Chen Zhao floored the gas pedal and went for the people.

They hurriedly dodged to the side, but because Chen Zhao couldn’t see, the car crashed into the railing.

Morgery had already slipped out of the car. Bang, bang.

Chen Zhao saw from the rearview mirror that Morgery had killed two people.

He also slipped out of the car and moved to the people’s side.

They currently had a few bushes between them and Morgery and were shooting into it.

They were completely focused on Morgery and didn’t notice Chen Zhao.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Zhao gestured at Morgery.

Morgery’s expression went blank. What did that gesture mean?

Suddenly, Chen Zhao charged at the people’s backs.

He was too fast. They couldn’t even process what was happening before Chen Zhao had already charged into them. Morgery was unable to shoot now.

He didn’t care about anyone else, but he couldn’t shoot at Chen Zhao.

“Ah! Ah!”

With Chen Zhao so close by, the people panicked too.

They hurriedly tried to shoot at Chen Zhao, but they were beaten to the ground before they could fire.

The entire process was less than ten seconds. Morgery looked at Chen Zhao standing in the middle. He hesitated a few seconds before walking over.

The first thing he did was to add some more bullets into the people on the ground.

“Can you tell me what just happened?”

“Chen, pretend you didn’t see this. This has nothing to do with you, alright?”

Morgery didn’t want Chen Zhao to get involved in this.

Chen Zhao just looked at Morgery and he knew that he couldn’t hide it anymore.

He could only explain, “I killed their boss.”

“You can recover your status by killing their boss?”

“I’m mustering my men from before,” Morgery said.

“Do you need my help for anything?”

“No. I’m mostly done.”

He just didn’t want Chen Zhao to get involved.

“Then what about Victoria?”
