Demons Beside You Chapter 71

Chapter 71 - Mutual Deception

Translator: Larbre Studio  Editor: Larbre Studio

Walter’s mouth looked swollen. He held all the demonic crystals in his mouth, after which he trotted boastfully into the basement and into Blackie’s territory to find the Hellhound.

The Hellhound was Walter’s best friend. He would share whatever he had with the Hellhound.

As for Beelzebub, Raymond, and Carrie, they did not know what sharing was.

At night.

The house was in complete silence, but Beelzebub and Raymond did not sleep.

Today, Chen Zhao had been generous for once and had given so many demonic crystals to Carrie and Walter.

Walter did not know how to save at all. He had already shared some of her crystals with the Hellhound and eaten the rest.

They were both single and did not have a family to take care of.

On the other hand, Beelzebub and Raymond had wives and a group of children.

They could not eat all the demonic crystals at once like the other two foolish dogs.

Therefore, they could only put their eyes on Carrie’s crystals.

Just like them, Carrie would not eat all the demonic crystals at once.

Similar to Beelzebub and Raymond, Carrie would go back to Hell once in a while, bringing her demonic crystals with her.

“Raymond, are you sure you can find where Carrie hid her crystals?”

“Yes, my nose doesn’t lie. I promise you I know where her crystals are.”

“Then what are we waiting for? Bring me there now.”

While it was still dark, Beelzebub and Raymond slipped from the house surreptitiously and went to the backyard.

“It’s right under that tree.”

“Dig them all out.”

“Why don’t you do it yourself?”

“Do you see any hands from me?” Raymond was frustrated.

“I heard that snakes can burrow.”

“Nonsense, you fool. Snakes can’t burrow. At least I can’t.”

“I found them, and I’ll dig them out. What are you going to do?”

“At least I can bear the consequences with you if we’re found.”

“When we get Carrie’s treasure, I want 60%.”

“No way. We agreed to share it equally.”

“But I did more.”

“If you keep nagging, I’ll wake Carrie up.”

“Fine, fine.”

Beelzebub started digging downwards. After digging for less than thirty centimeters, he saw a small wooden box.

“Look. Here it is.”

“Great. Open it.”

Beelzebub eagerly opened the box. However, the next moment, a pall of smoke spread out from the box.

Beelzebub trembled and fell unconscious.

“Fool,” Raymond said, sticking his tongue out. “Carrie, you can come out now.”

Carrie strolled out elegantly from the dark.

“Did that fool fall into the trap?”

“Yes. He’s already affected by your hypnotic pollen. He’ll sleep until the morning.”

“He would never have imagined that you would betray him.”

“I’m not his subordinate, so it’s not called betrayal. Let’s go. I’ll bring you to his treasure point.”

Raymond and Carrie made one round and went to the vegetated area which was in front of the house and beside the road. “He hides his demonic crystals here. I saw him digging here for quite a while one night.”

“Are you sure it’s not your trap?”

“I promise.”

“But I don’t trust you. After all, you’ve just betrayed Beelzebub.”

“I’ve already brought you here anyway. I only want my share now.”

After considering, Carrie still decided to try it.

Nevertheless, she was still extremely careful. Using her icy power, an ice shard dropped down from the sky towards the place Raymond had specified.

At the instant the ice shard hit, a whirlpool suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

“No, it’s a trap! A ward!” Carrie shouted, realizing that she had been rooted. She turned around and looked at Raymond. “Help me…”

“Haha…” An evil smile appeared on Raymond’s face.

Carrie understood everything at once. “I knew it. You’ve just betrayed Beelzebub and now you’re betraying me.”

“I’ve betrayed no one.”

“You despicable and abject demon!” Carrie attempted to break free from the ward, but it was very firm. She would not be able to escape from it without a few hours of work.

Raymond twisted his slim body and slowly disappeared in Carrie’s vision.

However, just after Raymond left, Beelzebub appeared quietly.

“I already said that stinky bug can’t be trusted.”

“Stop wasting time. You’re nothing good either. Release me from the ward now.”

Beelzebub stood up with his hind legs and grabbed a tree branch with his front paws. He drew a magic array on the ground, after which he injected magical power into the array. Immediately, the array lit up.

Beelzebub controlled the power of the magic array and pointed the branch in his paw at Carrie. At once, Carrie regained freedom.

Although Beelzebub’s main ability was gluttony, he was a demon after all. He certainly had more than just one ability.

Carrie and Beelzebub had contacted each other secretly long ago. However, they were also on guard and plotting against each other.

Just like how Raymond had plotted Beelzebub and then Carrie, Beelzebub and Carrie would betray each other too if they had the chance.

“Are you not going to stop Raymond? He knows the real place you’ve hidden your demonic crystals.”

“So what? Do you think he’ll be able to get my treasure easily?”

“Then let’s go and take Raymond’s treasure.”

“Do you know where it is?”

“It’s in the doghouse of Blackie’s stupid dog. He thought that he hid it well.”

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go now.”

However, little did they know that Raymond was also looking at them in the dark.

“These two fools. They thought that their silly plan can trick me.”

Demons were treacherous creatures. They normally looked ludicrous in front of Chen Zhao, but they were not actually stupid.

As all of this was happening, Chen Zhao was watching them with a pair of night-vision device which he had purchased online.

“Looks like they’ll do this for the entire night again. Walter, are you sure that you’ve found all their demonic crystals?”

Roar…

“If anyone isn’t obedient next time, I’ll make him or her bankrupt.”

Everything was in Chen Zhao’s control. The three demons thought that they had everything, but they had been under Chen Zhao’s monitoring all the time.

These three bastards would fight against each other nonstop both openly and secretly every night.

“Alright. Let’s sleep.”

Chen Zhao lied on the bed when a head suddenly appeared above him.

“Ah…”

“How many times have I said this… Don’t appear like this!”

“I can’t knock or push the door, so it’s the only option.”

“Still, don’t appear right above my bed.”

“How would I know where you are?”

“Of course I’m on the bed at this time.”

Chen Zhao complained, “Forget it. What’s up?”

“When I came back just now, I discovered an interesting place. Do you want to go there?”
