Demons Beside YouDemons Beside You
“Please take a seat.”
They found Chen Zhao completely different today.
It did not feel as stressful as the other day.
Of course, this did not mean that they could be careless.
What happened to Brighton was a stern warning to them.
Chen Zhao was not someone they could afford to offend.
“Any wine for you?”
“Sorry, we don’t drink during work.”
“Fine, I won’t force you.”
However, they smelled the intoxicating aroma very soon.
Beside them, Faven and Jaberry began to wipe away tears.
Even Tris was no longer in the mood to work.
Nat and Cooper were in a similar state.
Most normal people could not resist the Purple Brew’s tear-producing effect.
“You really don’t want a glass? I won’t tell Zola about it.”
“…”
Chen Zhao was like a demon who lured them into the abyss.
After they drank, they were in a worse state for work.
Although the Purple Brew would not make one drunk, it would make one heartbroken.
Fortunately, the effect was gone before long.
They started working again.
Chen Zhao sunbathed in the forecourt, while the five people had Princess try the costume in the room.
“Nat, what wine was that?”
“The Purple Brew,” Nat answered calmly. “I’ve seen the wine’s bamboo container in Zola’s house. It’s the same as the one on the bar counter there.”
“The Purple Brew? That’s the legendary Purple Brew?”
“Yup.”
“Mr. Chen actually treated us to the Purple Brew.”
“Ah? I heard that a bottle of Purple Brew costs two million. Did I drink a hundred thousand dollars just now?” Faven exclaimed.
Jaberry turned her head and looked at Chen Zhao who was outside. “He’s so charming.”
“Stop zoning out and focus on your work,” Tris reminded.
Samuel wore a mini costume and allowed the five to dress him up.
“Wow, he looks really handsome in the costume.”
“And he isn’t resisting at all. Normally, cats will feel very uncomfortable with just a bit of fabric.”
“Come, lift your paw.”
“Ha… He can understand me.”
“Alright, stop being surprised. They’re Mr. Chen’s pets. What’s so strange about that?”
Meow—
“Do I look handsome?” Samuel held his head up proudly. “Oh, I need my mount. Snow White, Snow White… Come here.”
“Huh? A cougar? A white cougar?”
Although cougars were also fierce beasts, Snow White was not as big or terrifying as compared to the other pets in the house.
Nonetheless, the group was still amazed. Her white skin was as smooth as the best silk.
She was emitting a noble temperament mixed with some pride.
Nat propped his chin, staring at Snow White.
“Right!” Nat suddenly shouted.
“What again?”
“What if it appears on the new product show in New York?”
“Uh… Should we ask boss first?”
“Let me call her.” Nat seemed like he was trying to take the credit.
The others would not compete with him. Nat knew how to please Zola the most.
Last time, Nat offended Chen Zhao, but in just a few days, Zola used Nat again as if nothing had happened.
Of course, it was also because Nat knew how to deal with people.
“Zola, I have a new discovery in Mr. Chen’s house.”
“What is it?”
“Wait a second. I’ll send you the photo.”
Nat took a photo of Snow White and sent it to Zola.
“Wow… is it Chen’s new pet? It’s beautiful. I had no idea he actually has a cougar.”
“Zola, do you think it’s a good idea for it to appear on stage?”
“Of course… but help me to ask Chen. Is he home?”
“Yes, he is. Zola, would you like to speak with him?”
“Give him the phone.”
Nat approached Chen Zhao like a minion, holding the phone with both hands.
“Mr. Chen, boss would like to speak with you.”
Nat was the kind who bullied the weak but feared the strong.
He would diligently serve those who were more powerful than him.
However, he would be very harsh toward those who were weaker.
Nevertheless, his ability was unquestionable, or Zola would not have placed him in such an important position.
“Chen, Nat just sent me a photo of a white cougar. Your pet?”
“Yes.”
“Can I borrow it too?”
“Sure. Anyway, I plan to bring my whole family to New York. She’ll be one of the passengers.”
“Great! Oh, can she appear on stage?”
“She’s quite aloof. If you want her to walk on the catwalk, it’s best to make her walk with my pet cat.”
“Why?”
“Because she listens to my cat.”
“What? Why would a cougar listen to a cat?”
“Maybe because my cat’s called Samuel.”
“Samuel, the demon king? Why would you name your cat that?”
“Because he’s like a demon king at home.”
“Alright, it’s decided then. I’ll make some adjustments to the show.”
“By the way, what’s the procedure for taking pets on a plane?”
“For commercial airlines, you can only check your pets in, but it’s much easier for private planes. You only need health certificates for them. Do you need me to use my connections for any of your pets?”
“Err… Yes, actually. You’ve seen Obitos. He’s been growing quickly, so he’s quite different from when he registered.”
“I haven’t seen Obitos in a while. How big is he now?”
“Almost five meters long,” Chen Zhao said. “600 kilograms.”
Zola gasped. It was too big.
She remembered Obitos being only three meters long when she last saw him.
“That’s not difficult. Leave it to me.”
Zola knew many people, so Chen Zhao was not too worried.
The group of designers had finished trying the costumes on Princess and Samuel. Meanwhile, they also took Snow White’s measurements.
“Mr. Chen, we’re done. We’ll be leaving now. Bye.”
“Nice, bye.”
“We need to test Snow White’s costume two days later. We’ll be here again.”
“You’re always welcome.”
Of course, it was only for politeness.
After the designers left, Chen Zhao’s phone rang again.
“Chen, have you been very busy lately? I failed to reach you a few times already.”
“I joined the Supernatural Organization and became their president, but the other members are all trash.”
“Oh? There are people like you and me?’
“Why? Are you interested?”
“I would like to have an exchange with them, and to display my ability.”
“You want to join? You can help me with the job too.”
“Sure.” Gaia seemed very interested.
