Demons Beside You - Chapter 501

Chapter 501: Planting Grape Seeds

The picture in Chen Zhao’s mind was very weird.

It was the rooftop of a high-rise building. Someone was lying there. They were hooded, so that Chen Zhao could not see their appearance, but the thing in their hands alarmed him.

It was a sniper rifle!

Chen Zhao suddenly opened his eyes. He realized something.

He looked at a tall building in the distance.

“Master, what’s wrong?”

“I saw a strange image. Think it’s from the eye. Someone is on that building there, pointing a sniper rifle at me.”

“Oh… It’s Shadow Vision.” Samuel thought of something.

“What’s Shadow Vision?”

“Shadow Vision can detect looks of evil intent in places that you cannot see with your own eyes. That’s the function of your new eye.”

“Huh, that’s really useful.” Chen Zhao was very pleased. With Shadow Vision, he would be much safer.

…

Kelly put her sniper rifle away.

Just now, she really wanted to fire, but the Blood Brand on her arm started to hurt.

She knew what the Blood Brand was for. Whenever she had the intention to kill that person, the Blood Brand would stop her.

Of course, Kelly knew that she would not be able to kill him.

Nevertheless, she did not expect that person to discover her from several kilometers away!

After some thoughts, Kelly made a call.

“Hey, Chen.”

“Who are you? You sound familiar,” Chen Zhao said on the other side of the line.

“Chen, you already saw me. Why do you have to pretend?”

“So why did you call me?”

Chen Zhao did not understand what the lady meant.

He saw her?

Wait, he saw her…

Was she the one who had pointed her sniper rifle at him?

From the voice, Chen Zhao suddenly recalled a woman.

A woman who had killed him.

That time, Chen Zhao had just arrived in America.

That time, he was still an honest man.

She was Kelly, that female killer.

“How about a deal?”

“What deal?”

“Someone wants you dead. The person found my organization, and I’m on the mission.”

“Are you going to tell me that you won’t kill me and I should reward you?”

“I’m not that naive. I know that I can’t kill you.”

Chen Zhao had just discovered Kelly from many kilometers away.

How was it possible to kill such a person?

Even without the Blood Brand, Kelly did not think that she could threaten him at all.

“So what’s the deal?”

“I’ll tell you who’s the person who wants you dead, and you’ll remove the Blood Brand.”

“How do I know that you’re not lying?”

Chen Zhao did not trust the female killer at all.

After all, Kelly had once managed to truly kill him.

“I can tell you who the person is first. If you think I’m not lying, then remove the Blood Brand for me.”

“Sure.” After thinking, Chen Zhao accepted the deal.

“His name is Pierce South.”

“Wait, I know him, and he’s an enemy of mine. I know all along that he wants me dead,” Chen Zhao interrupted Kelly. “If that’s all you can tell me, I think you can forget about the deal.”

Kelly was stunned. It seemed like she was still too naive.

“How about I help you find him?” Kelly asked.

“Can you?” Chen Zhao’s eyes brightened.

If Kelly could really find Pierce South for him, Chen Zhao would be happy to accept the deal.

“I’ll try my best.”

“Fine. If you can find him, I’ll dismiss your Blood Brand.”

Chen Zhao was extremely bothered by Pierce South. He was literally a mouse.

Chen Zhao could not locate him, but he kept harassing him. It was really irritating.

Every time Chen Zhao heard that name, he would swear that he must kill that guy.

…

In the evening, Fali returned home and threw a bag on the table.

Chen Zhao picked it up to take a look. It contained many seeds of something.

“Fali, what’s this for?”

“Robio gave them to me. He said that our home is a great place to grow grapes and make red wine.”

Chen Zhao patted his forehead. Fali, can’t you just admit that you want to grow grapes and make wine yourself?

Why do you have to push it to someone else?

Anyway, Chen Zhao did not expose Fali.

Since Fali wanted it, he did not mind.

“I’ll ask the underlings to plant them.”

“Chen, don’t you think that it’ll be more meaningful if we do it ourselves?” Fali stared at Chen Zhao with a serious face. “After the grapes are ready, we’ll make the wine and share it with our friends. What do you think?”

“Alright. That’s thoughtful.” Chen Zhao pulled Fali and kissed her forehead.

He was only worried that Fali’s enthusiasm was short-lived. After the initial fun was over, she might ask the underlings to do the rest.

“Yura, Cheryl, let’s go and plant some grapes together.”

“Plant grapes? No, I want to keep playing…” Yura subconsciously rejected.

Very soon, however, she noticed Chen Zhao’s threatening look.

Two days ago, she had been grounded for a day just because she had talked back to Chen Zhao.

Hence, she swallowed the rest of the sentence. With a forced smile, she replied, “Sure.”

The group picked a stretch of land. It was about a hundred meters away from the house.

There were no trees here and sunlight was excellent, but there was some wild grass.

“What do we do first?” Fali asked.

In fact, she was actually being impetuous.

She had no plans at all.

“Remove the grass, of course,” Cheryl said.

Chen Zhao rolled his eyes. With Eugenice around, this was absolutely unnecessary.

“No need. Wild grass doesn’t grow here,” Chen Zhao said.

“Then what’s that over there?”

“Ignore those. Loosen the soil first,” Chen Zhao said, waving his hand.

The four began the task. Actually, the soil was already very loose, because silt had been dug from Mirror Lake and spread here. At least the surface was very soft.

Therefore, they easily readied a large area for planting the grapes.

With Chen Zhao’s strength, it was not even considered as labor.

As Cheryl and Yura loosed the soil, they started playing again.

It was characteristic of children of their age. There was no way they were going to focus on any physical work.

“Yura, look…”

Cheryl transformed into a 1.8-meter-tall werewolf. Then, she stuck her claws into the soil and ran forward.
