Demons Beside You-Chapter 657 - Animal Businessman

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

“Sir, excuse me, can you move aside?”

Jonsonk stopped. An airport staff member blocked his path.

He saw a few workers guiding some beasts out of the special passageway.

Even a wealthy man like Jonsonk had to move aside and let the animals pass before him.

But when a white figure passed before him, his pupils constricted.

“Could it be?” Jonsonk recognized Snow White immediately.

Because one of his teams had gone missing when hunting this albino cougar.

He’d searched many times but couldn’t find any news of his team.

They’d seemed to have evaporated.

Jonsonk worked in the animal business, illegally trading wild animals.

It was clear that his poaching team that disappeared in the mountains most likely died.

He didn’t care about a team’s death.

What he cared was that his prey had fallen into someone else’s hands without going through him.

It was clear that someone had stolen his stuff.

He couldn’t let this go.

“Sir, you may go now.”

Jonsonk considered it but he didn’t go into the passageway. Instead, he turned and left.

How much did an albino cougar cost?

Fifteen million dollars. Subtracting the five million for the poaching team, he made ten million in profit.

To Jonsonk, this was also an income that he couldn’t overlook.

Whether this albino had an owner or not right now, it had to be his.

As for its current owner, this wasn’t a problem.

He didn’t care even if the owner was a top figure.

For someone in his field, he wouldn’t be able to reach this position if he was timid and scared.

The armed forces that he controlled were even stronger than what the top wealthy had.

Milfred Leon’s poaching team was only a small portion.

…

“Chen, Fali, you can live here for these few days.”

Zola arranged for them to stay in a house beside the sea.

“Thank you, Zola.”

“I won’t disturb you all now. Bye.”

Zola left with the reluctant Manny and Daniel.

As soon as Zola left, Louis Klalime arrived.

George also followed him here.

George was terrified of Chen Zhao, but Louis was very happy that Chen Zhao could come to New York again.

After all, he was like a mutant too. Other than George, only Chen Zhao knew his identity.

“Mr. Chen, you didn’t even tell me you came to New York. I’m so sad. Did you forget that you have a friend in me?”

Chen Zhao rolled his eyes. He didn’t tell Louis, but he still found out immediately.

So, it didn’t seem to matter if he notified Louis or not.

Plus, he didn’t think he was very close to Louis either.

He remembered clearly that Louis didn’t even pay the clinic fee.

“Miss, you’re so pretty. Are you Mr. Chen’s wife?”

“Not yet,” Fali replied with a smile.

“Then do I have a chance?”

“You can if you don’t want Chen to throw you off the cliff,” Fali replied, laughing.

“Okay, I take my words back.”

“Excuse me.” Fali went back to her room to unpack.

“Are these your pets?” Louis looked at the animals playing in the living room.

George scooted to Louis’ side and whispered, “Boss, I think they’re looking at me.”

Louis looked at the pets in shock again. “They’re not regular pets?”

“That depends on what you think ‘regular’ is.”

“How about you sell me one?”

“Don’t say that again.”

“Okay, I was rude.”

Louis was a smart businessman. He knew not to push the limits.

After confirming that Chen Zhao didn’t plan on selling them, he changed the subject.

“Are you free tomorrow? I’ll host a welcoming party for you.”

“Fali and I are going out tomorrow,” Chen Zhao said.

“Oh, Mr. Chen, my friend has a weird disease. Are you interested in helping?” Louis finally revealed the true reason why he’d come.

“What weird disease? Like you?”

“I’m not sure.”

Chen Zhao considered it and Louis immediately added, “He’s rich.”

“What time?” Chen Zhao and Fali came mostly for vacation, so he wasn’t willing to spend his time on work.

Of course, if he was able to, he didn’t mind taking out some time to make some extra buck.

“You can decide,” Louis said.

“It’s too late today,” Chen Zhao said. “I’m tired. How about tomorrow night?”

“Sure, then it’s set. I’ll pick you up tomorrow.”

As soon as Louis left, Chen Zhao got a call from an unknown number.

“Hi, Mr. Chen, do you remember me? It’s Catherine.”

Chen Zhao immediately remembered Catherine, the Mage of the Witch Society.

“Of course. Miss Catherine, how can I help you?”

How come the entire world knows as soon as I get to New York?

Chen Zhao was impressed by these rich and powerful people. It seemed that there was nothing they didn’t know.

He’d just arrived and hadn’t even settled in and they were already here.

“Mr. Chen, I want to ask you for help. Are you willing to help?”

“Miss Catherine, I’m here for vacation.”

“These are old matters accumulated in the Witch Society throughout time. If you’re willing to take care of one, you’ll earn $200,000. If you take care of ten, it’ll be two million dollars.”

Chen Zhao was tempted. This seemed to be a nice deal.

Even though the Witch Society was using him as a contract fighter, he could make $200,000 with one fight. It seemed acceptable.

“Are they all problems that can be solved with some fighting?” Chen Zhao asked.

“Mostly, but some are a bit more complicated.”

Hearing that some were complicated, Chen Zhao began hesitating again.

“Mr. Chen, I heard that you’re the president of the Supernatural Organization now.”

“You know that too?” Chen Zhao was surprised.

“If you help us with some problems, we can provide some spellbooks. It may be helpful to your members.”

Chen Zhao thought about it. “What time?”

“There’s one that’s urgent. I hope you can help tonight.”

He’d just arrived at New York and hadn’t had time to get cozy with Fali yet. And he had to go out now?

He felt apologetic toward Fali.

Just then, Fali came down and saw that Chen Zhao was still on the phone.

“Do you have something to do?”
