Demons Beside You

“Chen, you’ve saved my life again.” Sitting down, the gang leader gave Chen Zhao a warm hug.

“I’m happy that none of you pointed a gun at my head this time.”

There was a moment of awkwardness for all the four present.

“Do any of you still have injuries or discomfort?”

Nesta and Sanders had the same kind of injuries, but they were very minor and there were no signs of inflammation.

“Mr. Chen, can you ask it to... go away?” Sanders was horrified by Raymond who was coiled up before him.

“He’s called Raymond. You can tell him yourself.”

“Stop... stop joking. It’s your pet.”

Hiss...

“Snakes are really too scary... I prefer dogs...”

Raymond had already opened his mouth, displaying his pair of poisonous fangs.

Sanders’ hair all stood up in fear, but his arm was held firmly by Chen Zhao.

“He doesn’t like that sentence in particular. You better apologize,” Chen Zhao said as he treated Sanders’ injuries.

“Sorry, Raymond, I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have said that... but... can you move away?”

“Human, kneel down. Your apology is too insincere.” Clearly, Sanders could not understand Raymond’s words.

Chen Zhao glanced at Raymond. “Alright, that’s enough. You’ve already scared Sanders out of his wits.”

“That’s boring.” Raymond twisted his body and crawled away slowly.

“Can snakes be trained to have such intelligence?” The gang leader looked at Raymond curiously.

“Don’t even think about raising a snake. I know a fool who tried to. The last time I went to his place, I helped to bandage his dick.”

“What’s your secret?”

“Nothing. Everyone’s been asking me the same question. I’m a doctor, not an animal trainer.”

“I think you can consider switching to animal training.”

“Sure. Don’t find me next time when you’re injured.”

“Forget what I just said. Continue to be a doctor. It’s more promising.”

Morgery gave Chen Zhao his pay. Chen Zhao looked at the four people. “Are you going to Mexico?”

“Did Morgery tell you that?”

“I feel that if you’re really going to Mexico, I’ll lose a huge amount of income. I’ll miss you.”

“Chen, I’ll send you home in the morning.”

“No need. It’s tiring for you to drive here and there.” Chen Zhao shook his head. “I’ll go back myself. Send me to a place with public transport or something.”

“Let’s go to the train station then.”

“Isn’t this place a train station?”

“Of course I don’t mean this one.”

An hour later, the sky turned bright. Morgery brought Chen Zhao outside.

However, the two discovered that the tires of the car parked at the side of the road had been punctured.

“Shit, that woman’s here! Boss and the rest are in danger!” Morgery’s expression changed drastically and he immediately started running back.

“Err...” Chen Zhao was speechless as he looked at Morgery’s back. Shouldn’t you at least care about me? I need protection too...

Chen Zhao was about to follow Morgery when he felt some pain on his back.

Something was pointed against his back...

“Don’t move, raise your hands, don’t speak.”

Chen Zhao turned his head. A woman who had been hiding behind the car had moved quietly behind Chen Zhao. Now, she was pointing a knife at Chen Zhao’s waist.

“Madam, do I not move or raise my hands?”

“Raise your hands first, and then don’t move.”

Lifting his hands, Chen Zhao said helplessly, “Madam... I’m a doctor. I’m not close to them.”

The burly woman’s face and eyes were filled with fierceness.

“I don’t care what’s your relationship with them. Since you’ve healed Morgery, you’re my enemy.”

“Actually I haven’t healed them yet... I didn’t bring any medicine... So he was about to drive me back to get my medicine.”

Chen Zhao was terrified. If the woman were to move the knife just slightly forward, his kidney would be penetrated. By then, he might not be able to get hard for a few months.

“Madam, take it easy. It’s useless to threaten me, a doctor. Even if you kill me, they’ll still find other doctors. Moreover, I was also forced. They’re a gang and I’m only an ordinary doctor. I can’t fight back at all. So I’m actually on the same side as you.”

“Who said you’re on my side?”

“Aren’t you enemy with them?”

“I am, but I’m not related to anyone, let alone be on the same team as you.”

“We’re not enemies anyway. Let me go.”

The powerful woman seemed to be somewhat hesitant. It looked like she also did not really want to harm Chen Zhao.

“Gaia, stop!” Suddenly, they heard Morgery’s voice behind them. Morgery had already charged out from the house.

Chen Zhao was speechless. He had almost convinced the woman and now Morgery was going to mess everything up.

“Gaia, whatever you want, I’m here. Chen’s innocent.” Morgery sounded very angry.

If this happened at any other place, Chen Zhao would surely be touched by Morgery’s words.

But now, he could only cry.

Gaia glanced coldly at Morgery, after which she looked at Chen Zhao. “You said you aren’t very close?”

“Err... It depends on your definition of ‘close’.”

“You dare to prank me!” Gaia stabbed the knife forward suddenly and Chen Zhao quickly shifted his waist back. Gaia was even more enraged. “You dare to dodge?”

Duh. If I don’t my body will be penetrated...

“Chen, run!” Morgery shouted as he charged towards Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao bolted out. Gaia reached her hand out and held Chen Zhao’s shoulder.

Gaia was over 1.9m tall, in addition to her bodybuilder-like muscles and 100kg weight. She was significantly larger than Chen Zhao.

Therefore, Gaia was very confident with her own strength. Being able to even defeat fighters like Morgery in a few rounds, she had more or less been ignoring Chen Zhao’s presence.

However, when she held onto Chen Zhao’s shoulder, she felt that she was grabbing a car instead of a person’s shoulder.

Her entire body was dragged along and then she fell onto the ground.

By then, Morgery had already arrived and he pressed Gaia onto the ground with all his might.

Gaia finally came to her senses. She kicked her knee and immediately managed to press Morgery down instead.

Standing not far away from them, Chen Zhao seemed to be lost.

Should he go up and help?

Morgery’s hands were restrained, but he still shouted in pain, “Chen, don’t mind me. Just go!”

“Go? Go where? I don’t know the way,” Chen Zhao said helplessly.

Chen Zhao regretted not bringing Walter with him.

If Walter was here, he would be able to fight with Gaia for a while.

Now it’s just me...

Wait, something’s wrong.

Chen Zhao suddenly realized that he was not ordinary either. He had increased his physical strength, so why should he be afraid of a woman?

“Bitch, let go of Morgery, or I’ll not show mercy anymore!” Chen Zhao shouted. “Let me warn you first: I know kung fu!”

Pressing Morgery onto the car with just one hand, Gaia turned her head and looked at Chen Zhao.

“What are you going to do with me again?” Gaia sneered.
