Demons Beside You Chapter 337

Chapter 337 - Heavy Spending

“It smells of Angel Blessing,” Samuel said.

Chen Zhao took the peace knot and Samuel touched it with his paw. “The peace knot contains this woman’s spiritual power. That’s why she’s so weak.”

Chen Zhao thought, Could Li Qing be a physiognomist or something?

The smell of Angel Blessing could be due to a spell.

Li Qing had spent her own energy and spirit to make the peace knot, which could explain her current condition.

“Auntie Li, is this useful for you?” When Chen Zhao took out an angelic crystal, Samuel immediately jumped away from his arms.

Some surprise flashed across Li Qing’s eyes. “You want to give it to me? It must be precious.”

“Auntie Li, take it. It’s of no use to me anyway.”

“Mr. Chen, this is very precious.”

“Since you know what it is, you have to know its use. It’ll be more useful in your hands. Take it.”

Li Qing’s eyes glittered. She bit her lower lip for a while. “Alright, I’ll take it for now. If you need it next time, come and find me.”

“What’s this stone? Looks pretty. Is it expensive?”

“Go away, don’t connect everything with money.”

Perhaps because Ethan’s burger was the first food Chen Zhao had in America, he could not forget its taste, just like how he could not forget that Ethan had given him shelter.

“You eat half of my burgers every day.”

“I’m leaving. Don’t walk me out.”

“Only a ghost will walk you out.”

Chen Zhao went to the Mirror Lake. Felwood Cisco’s project was in good progress.

When Chen Zhao arrived, he saw a preliminary white building standing by the lake.

Nevertheless, there were still many workers entering and leaving the building. The main body of the villa had already been completed.

The team only had to trim the surrounding environment, cover the place with greenery and finish the interior decoration.

Unlike the main body, whose construction could be sped up with sufficient manpower and machinery, interior decoration could not be accelerated. Hence it would surely take more time.

“Mr. Chen, is this your van?” Felwood was surprised by Chen Zhao’s RV.

After all, nobody would travel with an RV. However, he understood Chen Zhao at once when he saw pets of various sizes alight from the vehicle.

Nevertheless, it caused him to reassess Chen Zhao’s wealth. A person who could afford such an RV would definitely own no less than ten million.

Felwood brought Chen Zhao to the different parts of the site, explaining the situation to him.

Soon, Bant also arrived. He introduced Chen Zhao to his business partner, Dunant.

Chen Zhao heard that Bant and Dunant were born in the same year and had been friends since they were young. Bant was slightly bigger in size, while Dunant was somewhat short. Dunant was an excellent carpenter.

Anyway, Bant praised Dunant very enthusiastically. Dunant had been a prop master in Hollywood and also done some wood crafts subsequently.

After visiting the interior of the villa, Dunant and Bant began to discuss with Chen Zhao about what kind of furniture and decoration he needed, as well as the price range.

“Chen, you want a circular bed 3 meters in diameter in the master bedroom, right?”

Chen Zhao nodded. The master bedroom was on the third floor and faced the Mirror Lake directly.

The side facing the lake had floor to ceiling windows arranged in an arc. A rectangular bed would only destroy the aesthetic view.

Thus, Chen Zhao felt that he could have a circular bed. The three meters diameter would be sufficient for Chen Zhao and Fali to play all they wanted.

The custom-made furniture in the master bedroom alone cost over ten thousand.

The final cost of 130 thousand dollars also exceeded Chen Zhao’s expectation.

The cost was after Bant’s discount. At the same time, Dunant also promised to make some wood handicrafts for Chen Zhao as gifts.

The entire villa, with two floors in the basement and three floors on top, had a floor area of over 1400 square meters.

Actually, normal custom-made furniture would not be that expensive.

However, Chen Zhao wanted them to be moisture proof. He asked for his furniture to be made from moisture-proof wood, resulting in a higher price.

Chen Zhao paid a 40 thousand deposit and also signed the contract.

While Chen Zhao and Bant were really close friends, Americans are always very strict when it comes to business and cooperation. They still had to sign a contract.

Every time Chen Zhao spent all his money, he would feel rather empty. This would motivate him to earn more.

The next day, Chen Zhao went to the UCLA swimming pool.

“Eveleigh, looks like you didn’t have a good rest yesterday.”

Eveleigh looked at Chen Zhao, gritting her teeth. “You don’t say! What did you do to me? I didn’t even eat breakfast!”

Standing beside her, Normans looked very calm. She had seen it coming.

“Can’t you see the breakfast I’m holding?”

“It’s not enough. Give me some more.” Eveleigh gobbled up her breakfast, but she was still not full. She wanted to make up for the missing dinner the previous day.

“Your next meal is one hour into training. Let’s start training.”

“Go, 50 meters dash, ten times.”

Just then, Wright entered the swimming complex.

“Chen.”

Chen Zhao approached Wright. “Wright, you look great today.”

“I didn’t disturb your training, did I?”

“Of course not. It’s your territory.”

“Are you free in the afternoon? A professor in the medical school is ill. Can you go and substitute him for a lecture?”

Chen Zhao thought about it. “Sure, I’m free in the afternoon anyway.”

“I thought you were going to reject again.”

“Am I that unfriendly?”

“Alright, I won’t disturb your play anymore. Please.”

Chen Zhao scratched his cheek. “Do I look like I’m playing? Eveleigh, you’re being lazy. Don’t explain, I can tell. Ten more rounds.”

After an hour, Normans and Eveleigh climbed out of the pool.

“Eat this, rest for twenty minutes, and then let’s test your speed.”

“It’s just been one day of training. Do you expect an improvement?” Eveleigh rolled her eyes. “Also, we’ve just had an hour of training. If you want a test, we need to rest for at least three hours to recover.”

“Just shut up and take the test.”

Eveleigh gave a humph in dissatisfaction.

“Give it your all. If I discover that you’re not trying your best, you can be ready to go hungry for the entire day.”

“I have my professional ethics. I won’t do such a childish thing.”

“Why didn’t I see your ethics when you blocked me with the other students that day?”
