Demons Beside You 256 Evil From The Hear

The next day, Risfar realized that he seemed to have really gotten younger. It was more obvious than yesterday. The muscles he'd gotten during school were back on him.

This feeling was very strange. Risfar kept posing in the mirror.

His heart jumped. Could it have been that bottle of wine?!

Had Chen Zhao invited him to drink the wine to make himself get younger?

Risfar was 40 years old. He estimated that he looked to be around 30 years old now. To be honest, the change wasn't that big. He just looked a bit younger.

If it really was the wine, then Dell had drunk more than him so he wondered what the man looked like now.

Risfar put on his clothes and ran to Dell's manor. He saw a muscular young man with a bare upper body. He was sunbathing next to the pool with just his boxers.

"Dell?"

"Who are you? Johnny?" Dell looked up. He didn't recognize Risfar immediately.

"Dell, your body…"

"I don't know. I don't know either."

"You look a decade younger."

Dell had been 28 years old, but because of his lifestyle, he'd gotten weaker. He'd looked like he was in his thirties. Now, he looked totally young. And what was with that perfect body?

Risfar felt that Dell's change was even more dramatic than his. Risfar's body had also changed, but it wasn't that big.

"Is it Chen's wine?" Risfar asked.

"Didn't you give Chen that bottle?"

"It's the original bottle, but the wine can't be it. Or maybe he added something to the wine."

Dell fell silent. Risfar looked at him and asked, "Dell, do you know something?"

"Uh…no. I don't know anything."

"To be honest, I'm jealous of your figure."

Dell was quite satisfied to get his body back too.

…

In the morning, Chen Zhao kissed Fali goodbye. Then he took the dragon meat out and fed it to Beelzebub, Raymond, Walter, Carrie, Obitos, and the Silly Twins.

He also ate some dragon meat. It really tasted delicious.

Just then, someone knocked on the door. Chen Zhao opened it to see a stranger standing there.

"Mr. Chen, please, please help me." The stranger started begging him as soon as he started talking.

"Who are you?"

"Spike."

Chen Zhao furrowed his brows. "I can't help you."

"Mr. Chen, please. I beg you."

Chen Zhao hated Spike to the max. This businessman had no trustworthiness at all. After he lost his money, he came to Chen Zhao to make him solve the problem.

Nothing this good happened.

"I wanted one ton of natural pearls. You wouldn't sell it to me, so I found it from someone else. I don't need it anymore. There's no use finding me."

"I have no choice now. I owe so much money to the bank and loan sharks. If you don't help me, I'll go bankrupt."

"This has nothing to do with me."

Chen Zhao pushed Spike out. Just as he was about to close the door, Spike raised his gun. He stared at Chen Zhao menacingly. "If you don't let me live, I won't make it easy for you either, you ch*nk!"

"Mr. Spike, do you know what you're doing?"

"My life is ruined already, so I'll make you die with me."

Chen Zhao raised his leg and kicked Spike without mercy. To him, Spike was just a weakling. Even an amateur like Chen Zhao knew that he had to lift the safety to fire with that gun.

This meant that Spike just wanted to scare Chen Zhao into agreeing. Maybe he thought that he could force Chen Zhao to buy his stuff with this childish threat.

However, after getting kicked, Spike clutched his stomach in pain while lifting the safety.

Chen Zhao just stared coldly at Spike without continuing to attack. After all, he still had a mortal body. He didn't want to block the bullet with his flesh.

Spike carefully retreated and escaped into his car.

Chen Zhao immediately called the cops. A while later, Leonardo and a policewoman arrived.

"Chen, I heard that you met an armed robber?"

"Yes." Chen Zhao described what had happened.

"Chen, I swear to you that I'll find the *sshole that pointed a gun at you. I'll teach him a lesson."

"Leonardo, is this your partner?"

"She's Rose, my new partner."

"h.e.l.lo, Miss Rose."

"h.e.l.lo, Mr. Chen. Leonardo mentions you often. I take it you two are close?"

"Without a doubt."

"We won't bother you anymore. Goodbye."

"Bye." Chen Zhao waved.

It seemed that Leonardo's spring was here too. Rose looked at Leonardo in a different way.

Ever since David and Kate were captured by the Mexican gang, their feelings started heating up. They were living together now.

They should find a time to meet up and have Leonardo bring Rose. It would help further their relations.h.i.+p. This way, Leonardo wouldn't act like he'd never seen women before and ask for numbers from any pretty girl.

By then, Beelzebub and the others had finished breakfast. Chen Zhao cleaned up and took out the leftover red wine. He wanted to bring it to Ethan.

Ethan had high blood pressure these days. The diseases that came with age were already obvious on him. If he had the will, Chen Zhao could help make a weight loss plan for him. However, Ethan was the type that just ate, slept, and ate. He couldn't start moving at all.

Dieting would work even less. After reaching a certain age, dieting would hurt the body too much.

Just then, Felwood Cisco called. "Mr. Chen, we have the general shape of the bas.e.m.e.nt done. Do you want to come over and check? You can tell us where you're unsatisfied with and we'll revise it. It'll be more troublesome if we fix things after building the upper level."

"Okay, I'll go over now."

Chen Zhao brought his pets and drove toward Mirror Lake's construction site.

Spike hadn't gone far. His car was parked in the near distance. Seeing Chen Zhao leave, Spike turned around and snuck into Chen Zhao's home.

His past hadn't been pretty. These sneaky things were just everyday actions back then. He'd only started doing legal business after making some money, but this didn't mean that he'd really become a good person.

Spike looked around but didn't find anything valuable.

His eyes fell onto the bottle of wine on the living room table. This bottle! It was 1842 red wine from Rawls Wine Cellar!

There was also a ruby pendant next to it. Spike was tempted.

A few days ago, this bottle had been auctioned off at 1.2 million dollars. He didn't know if the pendant was real or not though.

His heart jumping, he took both the bottle and pendant. Then he ran into the kitchen and turned on the gas…
