Dell did not rush back onto the bed this time. Instead, he sent Chen Zhao out of the manor.
“I’m sorry, Chen, it was my fault. I hope that if you have time in the future, you can visit and be my guest. My manor will always be as lively. I think those girls will also welcome you… Of course, that includes Tsura.”
“Thanks… If I have time, I’ll come.” Chen Zhao did not really want to waste his time here, although such a debaucherous scene was indeed alluring. It seemed like he should find a female companion first.
Chen Zhao unlocked his phone and found the number of the policewoman Gerlyn whom he had just met the day before. She would be a great choice.
After returning to the motel, Chen Zhao approached the counter. “Ethan, here’s your share. Sixty dollars.”
“So how’s your first client?”
“He was really hard to deal with. Next time if he asks for my help, tell him it’ll cost $3000.”
“You’re mad. $3000? He’s rich, but he’ll definitely not accept this price.”
“Believe me. He will.”
Seeing Chen Zhao’s confidence, Ethan bared his teeth. “I have indeed picked the right person. From the moment you saved that girl yesterday, I knew that you’re not a usual doctor.”
“Fine. Although I have learned Western medicine, my Chinese medicine knowledge isn’t too bad either.”
“No, no. That’s not what I’m not talking about… Yesterday you shouted at the girl’s soul and forced her to return to her body, right?”
“You…”
“Although I couldn’t see it, I’ve guessed it. It must be the case! You’re a so-called wizard doctor right?”
“Please, Ethan, stop joking around.”
“I’m not joking. I can tell what kind of person you are just by looking. I must be correct. That night, even the paramedic that came later said it was a miracle that the girl could live.”
“I’m hungry. Give me two burgers. Ethan, your burgers are really nice.”
“Of course, but it’s two bucks for one.”
“Can’t you treat me to a meal?”
“I can give you half price, but you can forget about getting it free.”
“Alright, and a bottle of coke.” Chen Zhao took out a bottle of coke from the fridge at the side.
“Aren’t you doctors always claiming that carbonated drinks are bad for health?”
“We doctors also say that drinking is bad for the body, but we still drink.”
…
Chen Zhao returned to his room and opened the metallic box, where he discovered that there was another demonic crystal inside. However, the piece this time was extremely small, perhaps only about the size of the tip of a finger.
“Are you not returning to hell?”
Raymond crawled out of Chen Zhao’s shirt. However, he could not see the metallic box. In fact, he was not even able to touch it.
“Human, do you really want me to leave you?”
“Up to you. The demon that I summoned last time did not really like to stay around me.”
“I feel that I will have more opportunities to display my skills if I stay with you.”
“And also more opportunities to obtain demon crystals?” Chen Zhao twitched his lips. He would not believe that a demon would like him.
“I don’t deny that.”
“Fine. You can stay for as long as you want.”
Chen Zhao started eating the burgers and drinking the coke. “Do you want some?”
“No. I have not finished digesting the demonic crystal you gave me just now. Moreover, I’m not really interested in human food.”
Suddenly, Beelzebub jumped out from the shadows.
“Huh? Beelzebub? Why are you here? Did I summon you?”
“I can feel the scent of food. Leave one for me… Wait… You have another demon here? You actually summoned another demon behind my back! You despicable, shameless, mean human. How can you do this? I thought I’m your one and only!”
Chen Zhao was speechless. “If I have a choice, I would get rid of you now and never summon you again.”
“You… Ah!” A tail suddenly appeared behind Beelzebub’s back.
Raymond bit Beelzebub’s back with full force. In pain, Beelzebub jumped into the air and raced around in the room with Raymond on his back.
“Damn! You’re a subordinate of Raymond, the King of Lust! I knew it, I knew it! It’s this dirty and abject bug that has seduced you. Don’t worry. I’ll help you to take care of it. I’ll never let it appear beside you again. I am all you need!”
“Subordinate of Beelzebub, you pathetic, fat pigs. This is already my territory. Now, scram out of the human world, or I’ll help to sterilize you!”
In fact, both Beelzebub and Raymond were the names of their respective demon kings, and not their names. The names at the back were their surnames.
They did not have first names, which only powerful demons would.
The two little demons fought each other with all their might in the room, but none of them could win over the other.
In hell, demons had territorial awareness. However, they were in the human world, Chen Zhao’s territory.
Oblivious to the fight between the two demons, Chen Zhao started tidying up his clothes. Just now, he had managed to ask Gerlyn out.
Gerlyn had agreed to have dinner with him. Raymond crawled beside Chen Zhao’s feet.
“Human, bring me. I can drown that woman in ecstasy. I’ll become your most useful and most powerful demon servant!”
“No need for that. I’m confident in my own ability.”
“Human, bring me. No matter how what you treat her, I’ll make her fully satisfied, even if it’s dog shit…”
Chen Zhao raised his foot and sent Beelzebub flying away directly.
…
As Chen Zhao’s personal driver, Vincent made a punctual arrival at the motel.
“Vincent, go to the Platinum Building.”
“Chen, do you have a date tonight?”
“Yup.”
“Then did you bring any condoms?”
“Err…”
“Here you go. Free.” Vincent took out a small box from a larger one beside his seat.
“Thanks.”
“We’ve reached. Hope you have an amazing night.”
Chen Zhao and Gerlyn had agreed to meet at the restaurant on the top floor of Platinum Building. It was a high class Western restaurant. Its interior was somewhat dim, but all its seats were near the windows. Through them, one could see the night scene of most of Los Angeles.
Gerlyn was wearing a low-cut dress. Her hair was tied up and her face had some foundation on.
“Gerlyn, I’m sorry to keep you waiting. You look gorgeous tonight.” In fact, Chen Zhao had planned to pick Gerlyn up, but she had rejected the offer.
“I’ve also just arrived.”
“I originally thought that I would need at least ten tries before you would’ll agree.”
“I just happened to be free today.”
Chen Zhao allowed Gerlyn to order food first, after which he ordered the same thing.
“Which department are you working in at the police station?”
“Crime investigation. All the cases I am handling are homicides… The taste of this restaurant seemed to have improved significantly. At least it’s worth the cost now.”
Chen Zhao also started eating the food. “Yes, the taste is not bad at all.”
It tastes ordinary. How is it worth the cost?
The food they had ordered cost at least two hundred dollars, but the taste was only so-so.
Was it due to the different taste of people in the East and the West?
