Demons Beside You

Chapter 523: Street Rats

Chen Zhao planned to accept all the benefits.

As for joining them, he was uninterested.

Chen Zhao had a strange feeling that joining the Sorcerer Society or the Witch Society was like joining an evil cult.

Of course, Sienna was also a witch.

Chen Zhao would not discriminate against them.

But he knew that if he were to join such an organization, there would be many nuisances for him to handle.

For example, the Evil Spirit Society had just popped out of nowhere.

And the Grandfather, who was really powerful.

If Blackie was not beside him, Chen Zhao would have to run away too.

Soon, Chen Zhao dismissed the leader of the Sorcerer Society and Catherine.

The two of them were quite displeased with Chen Zhao’s excuses.

But what could they do? Only Chen Zhao could make the final decision.

How about forcing Chen Zhao? Stop joking.

If they teamed up, they could probably defeat Chen Zhao.

But their societies would end up like the Evil Spirit Society.

Of course, Chen Zhao did not reject them directly.

So they still had a chance.

“Mr. Chen, Cheryl is a werewolf?” Margaret had heard their conversation just now.

She felt that her worldview had been refreshed once again.

She looked at Cheryl who was enjoying herself on the beach and really could not connect her to a werewolf.

“Yes,” Chen Zhao nodded but spoke no more.

Some people could accept it, but some people could not.

Chen Zhao did not want to discuss too much about it, especially with a stranger.

Chen Zhao and Margaret were not that close.

Margaret could tell Chen Zhao’s attitude from his plain reply, so she did not question.

While she was curious, her worldview had already been destroyed last night, after all.

She was therefore not as surprised that there was a werewolf.

Moreover, Margaret was a psychologist.

She was good at reading other people.

Moreover, she could tell that there was some distance between her and Chen Zhao.

That afternoon, she bid Chen Zhao goodbye.

Chen Zhao only perfunctorily asked her if she had a place to stay.

This was why talking to a smart person was really easy.

If a smart person was asked by a stranger if they had eaten, they would certainly not reply, No, are you going to treat me?

After Margaret left, Chen Zhao took Yura and Cheryl on a wild trip through New York.

…

“Jean, what do we do? People from the Witch Society and the Sorcerer Society are looking for us like mad dogs.”

“They’re planning to kill every last one of us.”

George and Jean had been rulers in the Evil Spirit Society.

However, since the Grandfather died, they had become homeless dogs.

They had lost all glory. Even the clanless evil spirits wandering outside were ignoring them.

Those spirits would even disclose their information to the Sorcerer Society and the Witch Society in exchange for rewards.

Actually, the supernatural world was very much like the underworld. The Evil Spirit Society, the Witch Society, and the Sorcerer Society were like three gangs, and they had many supernumerary staff.

Of course, most of the supernumerary staff were valueless idlers.

For example, an evil spirit might be living in a haunted house. The spirit would only be able to make minor pranks usually.

Most evil spirits did not dare to kill people.

Just like how there were laws in human society, in the supernatural world, there were also restrictions.

If it was just a prank, the Sorcerer Society and the Witch Society would not be bothered.

Unless a client paid them for help.

In that case, they would expel the evil spirit or ask it to move somewhere else.

Or they would make it their guardian spirit.

Many evil spirits were actually willing to become the guardian spirit of a spiritualist.

At least, it would be better than having to move frequently or be homeless.

However, if an evil spirit killed someone, it would definitely be wanted and pursued.

Alternatively, it could join the Evil Spirit Society. But it was not as good as what most spirits thought.

Some happenings in the Evil Spirit Society would even frighten evil spirits.

Sometimes, evil spirits might become informants for a particular organization.

For example, the Evil Spirit Society had just suddenly collapsed, which had a great impact on New York’s supernatural world.

Some evil spirits changed immediately and became the two human societies’ cat’s paws.

At the moment, George and Jean were like street rats.

They were actually ordinary evil spirits without any special powers.

When the Evil Spirit Society was strong, they were able to wear borrowed plumes.

That time, they were all-powerful, but now they had nowhere to hide.

“How about we leave New York? Let’s go to another city. We can build another Evil Spirit Society. We can become as grand as the Grandfather!”

“How? Float to another city? If we’re still exposed after the sun comes out, we’ll be evaporated.”

“We can control a car.”

“No, if the car runs out of gas, what do we do?”

“Then how?”

“Let’s find a plane and hide on it,” Jean suggested.

“Good idea.”

…

After three days of fun in New York, Chen Zhao and the two girls were finally going to return to LA.

Hill Nandes, who had come with them, had already returned to LA the day before.

“Hello, I would like to purchase three tickets to LA.”

“For which date?” the person asked.

“The sooner, the better. Preferably tomorrow.”

“Sorry, we don’t have any tickets to LA these two days.”

“Why?”

“It’s all sold out.”

“Alright.” Chen Zhao hung up, helpless.

It seemed like he had to make a transit flight.

It was very troublesome, but he had no choice.

Just then, Chen Zhao received a call.

“Hi, Mr. Chen? Its Louis.”

“Hi, Mr. Louis, what’s up?”

“I plan to go to LA. When are you going back? I’m taking my private plane. If you don’t mind, we can go together.”

“Private plane?” Chen Zhao was stunned. “I have three people in total. Are you sure it’ll be convenient for you?”

“Of course,” Louis Klalime said.

He had been waiting for this opportunity. Actually, he was behind everything when Chen Zhao failed to book the air tickets.

With his background, he only had to call the airlines to make some hidden restrictions.

“When are you going to LA?”

“I’m very free. We can go whenever you want,” Louis said.

“Are you sure? Don’t you need to reserve the flight route in advance?”

Although Chen Zhao was not a pilot, he knew that whether it was a private plane or a commercial plane, they had to apply for a flight route before departure. If they did not, they might receive a missile at any time.

“Mr. Chen, don’t worry about it. I have the money.”
