Demons Beside You

Jared raised his right arm and punched Chen Zhao!

Chen Zhao also raised his right arm. The two fists crashed against each other.

It was like a meteorite crashing into Earth. The bandages on Chen Zhao’s right fist exploded.

Boom!

The dozens of people inside and out heard something like a bomb.

Next, everyone heard bone cracking. At the same time, they saw blood spewing out of Jared’s entire arm.

“Ah!” Jared clutched his arm and rolled on the ground in pain.

Everyone’s expressions were frozen. How terrifying Jared had been was still fresh in their minds.

But now, Chen Zhao had actually faced him head-on and shattered Jared’s arm.

Yu Wenhui’s face was filled with surprise. Chen Zhao’s right fist was clearly injured, but he’d still defeated Jared.

How scary would he be if he wasn’t hurt?

“Ah!” Ritanna suddenly shrieked. The next moment, she realized that she’d lost control and quickly covered her mouth.

“Ritanna, what’s wrong?”

“Help me back…I—I…” Ritanna lowered her head. Her face was beet red.

Yu Wenhui was just speechless. She could only help Ritanna go back.

Just then, Jared suddenly stood up. Like an angered lion, he raised his left arm and swung it at Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao inhaled sharply. He punched with an even stronger fist and smashed against Jared’s chest.

Blood sprayed out of Jared’s mouth as he ricocheted backward.

Chen Zhao tidied up his clothes as if nothing had happened. “Alright, it’s over. Move on now. Can someone help call the ambulance?”

The audience hadn’t had their fill yet. They’d thought that Jared was already strong enough.

But after seeing Chen Zhao, they finally understood what true strength was.

Herretia furrowed her brows at Chen Zhao. What was with this man?

He didn’t seem to use any magic. He’d completely used his own physical strength to go against Jared, who’d been baptized with fury.

More importantly, Chen Zhao had even won.

Chen Zhao glanced at Jared. This clearly wasn’t the strength a regular person could display.

Judging from his previous condition, it looked like he was under some spell.

Wright came over to pat Chen Zhao. “Nice. I think you can be our school’s sports leader. You can lead whatever sports event we have, big or small.”

“After I become the leader,” Chen Zhao said with a smile. “I’ll take care of the other team’s leader first, so they start panicking.”

“I’ll hand this over to you. I’m old and can’t take this bloodiness anymore. I’m going back to the office.”

“Okay.”

Chen Zhao checked Tiger’s injuries. It was alright. Tiger had been beaten up badly this time, but they weren’t troublesome. They could heal in three or four days.

“Kid, can you stand up?”

“Mr. Chen, I can.” Tiger stood up with difficulty. He needed Chen Zhao to help him.

“This counts as your training too. How was it? Fun?”

Tiger chuckled wryly. “Mr. Chen, I disappointed you, right?”

He kept getting defeated by others. The first time was alright. After all, Zanla Douglas was the Golden Belt, a world champion.

But the second time, merely Jared was able to make him unable to fight back.

“No, I think it’s great that you’re not dead.”

Tiger didn’t reply.

“Alright, I won’t joke around. Your injuries aren’t bad, but you have to remember this feeling. I might train you with the same intensity. You better prepare mentally.”

Just then, Gaia walked in. She saw the mess that the boxing club was in.

“Chen, Tiger, what happened here?”

…

“Sienna, I have a question for you.”

“What’s wrong?”

“I met someone today who was very strong, almost close to Evangeline. He seemed to have lost all reason. All he wanted was to kill me.”

“I’m not familiar with this. I mainly focus on spiritology. Perhaps you can go ask Rupert or my teacher. They might be able to give you an answer.”

“Help me ask.” Chen Zhao didn’t want anything to do with that girl Rupert. She was evil and greedy.

“Sure, I’ll ask for you.”

Chen Zhao felt that Jared was under some spell, but he wasn’t sure if it was aimed at him.

The next day, Chen Zhao went to the pier with high spirits.

He found a rental company and rented a yacht. It was only $4,000 for seven days.

He didn’t want to meet a captain of a private yacht like last time. Not only did it waste money, but there were also a bunch of problems along the way and wasted time too.

Just as Chen Zhao was about to start the engine, a woman walked over. She wore stilettos and a short skirt. Her hair hung past her waist and she wore a hat for the sun. Her outfit was very stylish.

“Hello, sir. Do you take passengers?”

Chen Zhao was surprised. Did this woman take him as the captain?

“Sorry, I rented this yacht. I don’t take passengers.”

The woman seemed to be in a hurry, so then Chen Zhao asked, “Are you going out to sea?”

“I’m going to Geya Island.”

“Are you going to Mr. Steven’s crew?”

“Yes, yes… You know Mr. Steven’s crew is at Geya Island?” The woman was very happy.

“I’m going there too. If you don’t mind, we can go together.”

“Okay, thank you.”

The woman got on and Chen Zhao started the engine.

“Are you an actress?”

“Yes. My name is Herretia. What is your name?”

“You can call me Chen. I’m part of the crew.”

The yacht cruised among the waves. Herretia lay in the backseat, her hand trailing in the water.

Chen Zhao was controlling the steering wheel. He chatted with Herretia now and then.

Lord of all in the water, listen to my calling. Feast upon my offering to you.

Just then, countless fins poked out of the water behind the yacht.

They were the most vicious carnivores of the sea—sharks!

But Chen Zhao didn’t notice the group of sharks in the back. He didn’t need to control the yacht either. He put it on autopilot and it would go according to the set direction.

“Miss Herretia, you don’t look well. Do you feel uncomfortable?”

“Ha…No. I might not have slept well last night.”

“Huh?” Chen Zhao suddenly saw a huge figure jump out of the sea and chase after the yacht.

A shark? And more than one?

This was strange. How could there be sharks here?

After all, Amon was right behind. Amon was the true lord of the sea here.

Even though he was a demon, he had all the characteristics of a killer whale.

And killer whales were the best weapon for driving away sharks. Even humans would spray some artificial killer whale hormones onto the beach to prevent sharks from invading.

How could these sharks dare to get close?
