Demons Beside You

Engelite was also shocked.

He didn’t have many abilities, but this didn’t mean that he didn’t know about metal magic.

It was known as the strongest physical magic in the world.

They had such good endurance that they were practically indestructible.

They also had superhuman strength that was practicable impossible for the physical body to support.

But now, Jack’s metal arm was actually twisted by Chen Zhao.

“Ah!” Jack’s arm was completely distorted.

He was completely crushed by Chen Zhao in terms of strength.

Chen Zhao let go of Jack’s arm and he fell to the ground in pain.

“Grandfather, save me… Save me…”

“No one can save you.” Chen Zhao grabbed Jack’s arm.

Crack—

Then Chen Zhao tossed Jack to the side like he was a rag.

“Little witch, your turn.”

Daris’s arms were completely red like burning metal.

Her eyes contained shock but also anger and battle intent.

“If you think you can do it, then come.”

Chen Zhao sped up toward Daris.

She raised both arms and burning flames shot out of her palms.

Chen Zhao raised his right arm and the fire disappeared before him.

He took however much Daris shot out.

When Daris used up all her mana, Chen Zhao grinned. “No more?”

Daris felt unsettled.

Chen Zhao was already standing before her. He pried open her chin and covered her mouth with his right hand.

Poof!

Daris’s hair shook and then smoke came out of all openings. She fell to the ground, dead.

Her skin turned scorched black. Her inside was completely fried.

“Done. That’s a wrap.”

Engelite gaped at Chen Zhao.

This was a true magic battle—a fight between the strong.

“President, why didn’t we arrest them for interrogation?”

Chen Zhao looked at him without answering.

Can’t you say it faster next time?

I already killed them and you tell me to capture them alive.

Looking at the burning car, Chen Zhao felt disappointed.

He hadn’t benefited after becoming president, but he had to keep putting in energy and money.

…

“Grandfather, Daris and Jack are dead.”

“What? How?”

“Daris was fried and Jack’s neck was snapped.”

Grandfather was silent for a while. “Who did it?”

“They went after Engelite of the Supernatural Organization.”

“That Engelite is that strong?”

“According to the files, he only knows speed spells. He can only escape.”

“We were lied to. D*mmit, I should’ve known that the Supernatural Organization isn’t this weak.”

“Grandfather, what should we do now?”

“Don’t do anything for now. The Supernatural Organization must be on alert now but you, Chloe, and I are the only three left in L.A. If we attack brashly, we may fall into their trap. We’ll have to wait until your parents bring people over before taking revenge.”

“When will Dad and Mom arrive?”

“In a few days, probably.”

…

Chen Zhao and Engelite returned to the headquarters.

“President, you’re back. Did you get attacked along the way?”

West looked at how miserable Chen Zhao was. He even lost his shirt.

He also had scorch marks on his body. It looked like he’d experienced a huge battle.

“Yeah.”

“You two are fine, right?”

“President killed the two attackers,” Engelite said.

“President, do you know who they are?”

“When I killed one of them, he yelled for Grandfather to save him.”

“Family?”

“Should be them.” Chen Zhao nodded.

“Seems like they already know that we killed that guy,” West said. “They’re taking revenge.”

“I haven’t gone for them yet and they’re giving themselves up already.” Chen Zhao squinted. “How are Morid and Moore?”

“They’re badly hurt,” West said. “I had Baliya, Jollinash, Patilu, and Jolag go to the hospital together and bring them back here.”

A while later, the four brought the injured Morid and Moore back.

Moore was hit by a car and was still unconscious.

Morid had burns. He had heavy injuries, but they weren’t fatal.

Judging from his injuries, he was probably attacked by Daris.

“You already see the consequences of doing things independent of the group,” Chen Zhao said seriously. “If you don’t have other business, stay in the headquarters and those random guys won’t be able to attack you. I have to praise Baliya and Jollinash. Look at them. They stayed in the headquarters and even did some training to not waste time.”

“President, will there be a cash reward?” Baliya asked shyly.

“I’m not in charge of finance. West is in complete control. You won’t have any if he doesn’t want to give you.”

West stared at Chen Zhao. Chen Zhao could give bonuses with one word.

Could he not push all responsibility to him?

“Okay, I have to go back.”

“President, you just said that we can’t leave the headquarters alone.”

“Am I like you all? I have a family and a job.” Chen Zhao rolled his eyes.

After a few steps, he came back. “Oh, apply this ointment onto Morid… But he suddenly looks better after his mohawk was burned off.”

“President…I… I can still hear.”

“Rest well. Take care.”

After getting home, Chen Zhao stripped to take a shower, but Obitos crawled to the bathroom.

“Ada, my father has information for you.”

“What?”

“He says Foundation Mountain. There are people hiding in Foundation Mountain.”

Chen Zhao frowned. Did this mean that the Family was hiding in Foundation Mountain?

After showering, Chen Zhao took out his tablet to search for Foundation Mountain.

Oh? It was here?

He discovered that Foundation Mountain was the mountain that he’d gone hunting on with Risfar and Dell.

They also met Fannity’s group there.

What were they doing there?

Chen Zhao didn’t like getting close to there.

It was too dangerous.

If they dared to stay in that place, it meant that they were very strong.

At least, they could ensure that they wouldn’t get hurt by the crypt demons.

Chen Zhao couldn’t even be that confident.

So he had to be more careful.

Take Jack and Daris from today for example.

They were already scarily powerful.

But they couldn’t be the core members.

And that Grandfather who hadn’t shown up yet, how strong could he be?

“Obitos, did your dad say anything else?”

“He said, ‘Get the foundation gem’.”

“What does that mean?”

What foundation gem? Chen Zhao was confused after hearing that.
