Demons Beside You

Chen Zhao had long given up his plan to take revenge on Gaia.

Finding this human-shaped T-rex for revenge was equivalent to committing suicide.

It was only a small test today. When the entire boxing course ended, there would still be a real test.

In the afternoon, Chen Zhao went to Mr. Doman’s manor.

“What a lovely day it is.” Smiling, Chen Zhao stared at Normans.

Normans’ face immediately darkened, not because she was ill, but just because she saw Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao looked at Normans. “Let’s start the training today.”

“I’m too hungry to exercise.” Normans lay on the lawn, deliberately disobeying Chen Zhao’s instruction.

“One kilometer run, one chicken drumstick.” Chen Zhao threw his bait.

Normans immediately stood up. The day before, she only got one drumstick after swimming for a kilometer, but today it was just running.

Clearly, running was the easier of the two.

Swimming for a kilometer was really too tiring for her.

“But there’s a condition. You have to run for three kilometers straight and you get three drumsticks. If you can’t finish the entire journey, I’ll only give you the corresponding number of apples.”

Hearing Chen Zhao’s words, Normans gritted her teeth firmly.

This bastard is indeed mean and shameless!

Normans thought of all the cuss words she knew and used them on Chen Zhao.

“How much distance do I have to run if I want a whole chicken?”

“Swim for three kilometers,” Chen Zhao said.

“Why do the rewards for swimming and running differ so much when they’re both three kilometers?”

“You were in your school’s sports team, so you should know well that swimming and running use very different amounts of energy.”

“Then let’s run first,” Normans said.

“Of course. Let’s go.”

“I don’t want to run here. Let’s run on the street.”

“Up to you.” Considering Normans’ self-esteem, Chen Zhao had been training her in the manor.

Since Normans wanted to go outside herself, Chen Zhao would obviously not stop her.

The two left the manor and ran on the road by the sea. Beelzebub ran behind them. Actually, his stamina was comparable to Chen Zhao’s.

“Bastard, slow down and talk to me.”

Chen Zhao slowed down. “Do you still have additional energy to speak?”

After just a few hundred meters, Normans already started to feel tired.

She was too heavy, after all. Every step she took would consume a significant amount of her strength.

“Asshole, if you stop the slimming course, I’ll give you more money.”

“Mr. Doman has already told me about this scenario earlier. Your pocket money every month is only ten thousand, so I’m certain that you can’t give me more money than your dad,” Chen Zhao said with a smile.

“Asshole!” Normans cursed, gritting her teeth.

Just then, someone approached them from the front. It was Daniel.

He was also wearing a set of loose sportswear and running, his body already covered in sweat.

Seeing Chen Zhao, Daniel approached him. “Chen, what a surprise. What are you doing here?”

“Work.” Chen Zhao did not stop.

Daniel turned around and ran beside Chen Zhao. He continued, “Aren’t you a doctor?”

Chen Zhao pointed at Normans who was over ten meters behind them. “My current work is to slim her down.”

“Huh? Normans.”

“Hey, Daniel.” Normans and Daniel clearly knew each other. They greeted each other.

“Normans, is Chen your slimming coach? A great choice!”

“I didn’t want this asshole here! It’s all my dad! Do you know how vicious he is? Do you know how little I’ve eaten in the past three days? Less than what I would normally eat in an hour! Look at my belly. It looks so deflated!” Normans complained.

“This means it’s working.”

“I don’t need any slimming.”

“But I really hope that you’ll become the charming woman you once were, and not like this.”

“What? I don’t believe that she was even once beautiful.” Chen Zhao twitched his lips, his face filled with contempt.

Actually, he had seen photos of Normans in the past. She was indeed once pretty.

“I don’t need you to believe anything.” Normans widened her eyes at Chen Zhao.

“Let’s run together,” Daniel invited.

Chen Zhao remained silent. Daniel looked at Beelzebub who had been running alone at the back.

“Is White-Ma alright?”

“Recovering well,” Chen Zhao answered.

“Oh yeah, White-Ma is that enormous white dog, right? Why didn’t you bring him anymore after that day? What happened?”

“He was bitten by a shark,” Daniel said. “You have no idea how brave Chen was. That day, White-Ma and Black-Ma were playing in the sea. When White-Ma was attacked by the shark, Chen charged into the sea and fought with the shark. In the end, he even killed the shark!”

“I didn’t do much. Black-Ma bit the shark to death.”

“I checked the shark’s carcass. Its gill was severely injured. Black-Ma couldn’t have done that.”

Normans looked at Chen Zhao in surprise. She did not expect him to have such a brave side.

Nevertheless, she would not show it. “It must have been a baby shark.”

“Of course not. It was an adult tiger shark that’s 3.5 meters long and 600 kilograms heavy. It’s indeed a top predator! You have no idea how dangerous the situation was.” Daniel surely admired Chen Zhao a lot.

At least he was not brave enough to fight with a tiger shark in the sea.

To him, it was almost like committing suicide. However, Chen Zhao actually did it in order to save his pets.

Normans clearly knew how fearsome an adult tiger shark was. In fact, tiger sharks even dared to attack whales.

“My grandpa even made that tiger shark into a specimen. Chen, when you’re free, you can go there and take a look at your own trophy.”

“Sure. I’ll go there if I’m free.”

Suddenly, a small truck appeared behind them. A few gangsters jumped down from the truck, all of them holding baseball bats.

Their leader pointed at Chen Zhao with his bat directly and said, “He’s the one.”

“Do we know each other?” Chen Zhao was flabbergasted.

“Beat him up.” The few gangsters leaped towards Chen Zhao right away.

Crash!

One of the gangsters managed to strike Chen Zhao’s shoulder with his baseball bat. Chen Zhao kicked out in pain.

The gangster flew backwards directly. Filled with anger, Chen Zhao lifted his arm and punched at the gangster who ran towards him again.

Immediately, the gangster’s baseball bat was broken into two.

Chen Zhao threw a left uppercut and the gangster collapsed onto the ground.

And then fell the second, third, fourth, and last gangster.

The five gangsters were on a completely different level as the five experts Chen Zhao had fought in the morning.

Against the five fighting experts, Chen Zhao could only try to block their attacks.

However, against the five gangsters, Chen Zhao managed to subdue all of them in less than three minutes.
