Demons Beside You

Chapter 170: Crazy Fitness

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Half an hour later, Chen Zhao already reached the 80th floor.

Lloyd Werde was surprised. Even climbing stairs inside shouldn’t be so fast, but Chen Zhao had reached the 80th floor in half an hour. Lloyd might be able to get there, but he’d need to rest and take at least three hours.

This guy’s body was crazy!

Just then, Chen Zhao’s phone rang.

“Hello, Chen? Where are you?”

Chen Zhao could tell it was Fali’s voice.

“I’m busy.”

“You’re still working? We said we’re going to Leonardo’s birthday party together. Sienna, David and Chris are with me already. You’re the only one missing.”

“Soon. I’ll get over there soon.”

“You sound out of breath. Don’t tell me you’re night jogging again.”

“No, I really am working.”

“Okay, hurry up.”

“Oh, can you help me buy a gift?”

“What do you have in mind?”

“Can you help me buy Leonardo a watch?”

“What kind?”

“Within $1,000.”

Lloyd was listening to Chen Zhao and Fali’s conversation too. He was a bit speechless. This guy wasn’t the normal kind of “fit.” How could he have the energy to discuss a friend’s birthday party when he was so high in the air?

His mouth never stopped the entire time too. Talking while doing such tiring labor would use up much more energy.

After Chen Zhao hung up, Lloyd said, “Chen, you still have 20 levels before 129. You can hurry up if you still have the energy.”

Chen Zhao pulled off the suction cup of his left hand and started speeding up.

The main part of the Spider-man gear were the suction cups. The man-made fiber cups were very resilient and had many tiny holes. The holes would balance the air pressure within five seconds if the suction cups were placed on a smooth and flat surface. This reduced the suction of the cups, meaning he had to keep climbing and couldn’t rest.

Lloyd looked through the binoculars. Chen Zhao had obviously sped up.

This guy was practically a monster. How did he train? Maybe Lloyd had to ask him for some tips.

Chen Zhao suddenly had motivation—a lot of motivation. Boundless energy seemed to flow out of him. Thinking that he could soon see Phillip and make him pay, Chen Zhao grew very excited.

“Chen, you’re there. Use the main suction cup to stabilize yourself,” Lloyd said. “Use the iron pen to break the glass.”

Chen Zhao drew a circle on the glass and then smacked it. The entire piece of tempered glass flew in. Chen Zhao was finally able to go in. He put on the night vision glasses and turned off the walkie-talkie.

He had to admit that Phillip Quinn’s wealth allowed his life to be unimaginably opulent. The entire 129th floor was his.

Chen Zhao looked at Phillip who was lying on the large bed. He was sure that this was Phillip.

He was deep asleep now. Chen Zhao pounced directly onto him. Phillip woke up with a start, but he quickly realized that his mouth was covered.

Under the faint light from the window, he could vaguely make out a figure in a Spider-man costume.

“Have you seen Hell before?” Chen Zhao’s voice had changed due to the headpiece.

A heavy bell suddenly rang out in Phillip’s mind. It was the death toll from Hell!

He realized that lava started flowing around him. The dark horizon was like the end of the world.

Looking at the terrified Phillip, Chen Zhao finally smiled happily. After using Hell Knell, he also gave Phillip the Spiritual Sting.

These two spells together resulted in double the psychological torture. Chen Zhao wasn’t satisfied though. Merely psychological torture couldn’t satisfy him.

He took out a bottle of potion called Blood of Decay. He’d prepared this just for Phillip. After pouring the Blood of Decay into Phillip’s mouth, Chen Zhao knocked him out.

Lloyd had said that after successfully infiltrating the room, Phillip couldn’t make a single sound or movement. They didn’t know if there were any alarms in the room or bed.

Chen Zhao returned to the hole in the glass and jumped out. The moment he started falling, he opened his parachute.

It was his first time parachuting and it was from a low altitude too. Low altitude parachuting was more dangerous than from a high altitude. It could be fatal for a newbie like Chen Zhao, but it was the only way to escape. It wasn’t like he could climb back down.

The parachute slowly dropped to the designated location. Lloyd was there waiting.

“Did you succeed?”

“Yes.” Chen Zhao ripped off his mask and panted heavily.

“Did you kill him?”

“No, but I can make it more painful than death.” An excited and cruel smile appeared on Chen Zhao’s face.

“I didn’t think such a bizarre plan would be so successful.”

“Can you give me a ride?”

“Of course. To where?”

...

The car stopped at Leonardo’s entrance. Chen Zhao and Lloyd hugged.

“Captain, thank you. If you need help, please contact me.”

“No problem. I have a daughter too, so I think what you did was right. Goodbye.”

“Bye.”

Lloyd drove the car away, but Chen Zhao stayed at the door. He put on the Spider-man costume again while calling Fali. “Fali, are you still at Leonardo’s house?”

“Yeah. He asked why you’re not here.”

“I’m outside. Where’s the gift you helped me buy?”

“It’s on me.”

“Take it to the bathroom.”

Chen Zhao snuck into Leonardo’s house. After infiltrating CL Building, he felt like this was a piece of cake.

When Fali saw a Spider-man climb into the bathroom window, she almost freaked out.

“Shh, it’s me.”

“Chen?”

“It’s me.”

“You’re late because of this outfit?”

“No, I had an emergency patient. I had to do some special treatment.”

“Fine. How do you want to make your entrance?”

Just then, the bathroom door opened. Leonardo stood in the doorway, staring at Fali and Spider-man in shock.

“Uh...did I come at the wrong time?” Leonardo gaped.

“Leonardo, you ruined my grand entrance, you know?”
