Demons Beside You

Chapter 207: David’s Heroic Rescue

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Chen Zhao was somewhat unhappy, because he had been held as a hostage too.

More importantly, he was carrying Wouter in his arms.

He did not whether he should let Wouter go at the moment.

“Kid, don’t move, or I’ll make a hole in your head.”

Actually, Chen Zhao would not dare to move even without the robber’s reminder.

Even though it was not the first time someone pointed a gun at his head already, it still felt terrifying.

Courage was entirely meaningless in such a situation.

It did not matter whether Chen Zhao had superb fighting tactics.

Maybe Gaia could resolve the danger, but Chen Zhao could not. He was simply not strong enough.

David had been treated as an ordinary bank customer and forced to stay with the other customers.

He was not wearing his police uniform, so the robbers had no idea that he was a cop.

The robbers who were holding Chen Zhao and Kate captive stood before the other customers.

David kept peeking around. There were five robbers in total.

He did not attack immediately. It was not difficult to kill the robber threatening Chen Zhao, but there was no way he could kill all of them at once.

Three of the robbers were holding hostages, namely Chen Zhao, Kate, and the lobby manager.

The manager was forced to open the vault. After the vault was opened, a gunshot was heard from the inside.

Soon, three robbers came out with three bags of money, but the lobby manager was nowhere to be seen.

It was not hard to imagine what had happened to him.

Suddenly, Chen Zhao saw David make a hand signal at him.

Chen Zhao’s face was filled with question marks. What do you mean??

He tried to communicate with David using his eyes. What are you saying?

However, David seemed to have misunderstood something. He secretly made a hand gesture. Ok.

Ok what? David, what do you want to do??

David moved. He suddenly pounced towards the robber holding Kate.

Kate was still in shock. She just heard a crack beside her and then felt someone pull her away.

David tweaked the robber’s arm upwards, breaking his arm directly. Then, he pulled Kate behind him.

At the same time, the robber who had been holding Chen Zhao pointed his gun at David.

Chen Zhao had to do something. He extended his hand and lifted the robber’s gun-holding arm.

Bang!

The robber missed the shot. Chen Zhao threw the robber over his shoulder and then gave him a heavy kick.

When the three robbers carrying the money saw their fellows under attack, none came to help. Instead, they charged out through the door.

Bang, bang!

David fired his gun twice. One of the robbers collapsed onto the ground, but the other two had already escaped from the bank.

He wanted to chase the last two robbers, but Kate held onto his body tightly like an octopus.

“Miss, are you alright?” David asked.

Kate remained in David’s arms like an obedient little bird. She did not speak and kept her head lowered.

“Miss, can you stand by yourself?”

“My legs feel soft,” Kate said gently.

Chen Zhao walked up and pulled Kate’s head away from David. “Why is it you?”

“Do you know each other?”

“She’s a reporter. She accused me...”

“Wait... Mr. Chen, that’s only my job. Don’t target me like this...” Kate interrupted Chen Zhao. “Mr. Police, I can’t breathe...”

“Chen, you’re a doctor. Come and see what’s happened to this lady.”

“I’m not a doctor. Also, her condition is incurable.”

“Miss, do you have a terminal illness?”

“Estrus.” Chen Zhao twitched his lips.

Soon, the police came. They were all David’s colleagues.

After getting questioned by the police, Kate approached David carefully, “David, can I interview you please?”

“Err... I’m busy now.”

“I can wait for you.” Kate’s cheeks flushed and she did not even dare to look at David in his eyes.

“David, I’m going home first.” Chen Zhao had finished the interview. He glanced at Kate and David, not wanting to interfere with their business.

Kate clearly liked David. Chen Zhao did not want to be the bad guy.

“Let me send you back.”

“Don’t you have an interview later?”

“I don’t really want to.” David was rather slow and actually could not see Kate’s intention.

Chen Zhao glanced at Kate. Actually, she was quite pretty.

Normally, whenever David saw a beautiful lady, he would act like a mad dog, although it would often fail.

Now a lady was chasing him herself, and yet he did not realize it.

“I can interview you on your car.” Kate stared at David, her eyes glittering brightly. “Tomorrow, the entire Los Angeles will know your heroic deed!”

Her look was filled with admiration. Chen Zhao had not even seen such a look on Fali’s face.

...

Chen Zhao sat on the back seat, while Kate sat on the front passenger seat.

Kate had been continuously asking David questions, from his age to his birthday, whether he had a girlfriend, and whom the people in his family were. She asked whatever she could.

After David sent Chen Zhao to his house, he drove away with Kate.

“Kate, can I call you like this?”

“Of course.”

“Kate, what happened between you and Chen?”

“Nothing... It’s just a misunderstanding during work.”

“Chen’s my best friend.” David was not stupid. He was just concerned about Chen Zhao’s feelings.

“Alright, I get it. I promise I won’t have another conflict with him again... David, let’s date?”

“You sure there won’t be another misunderstanding?”

“I can do anything for you. Your friend is my friend.”

Kate had always been a very rational person. She did not believe in love at first sight.

However, the instant David saved her, she fell in love with him.

Even when she looked at David, her eyes were only filled with wonder.

The more rational a person was, the crazier she would get when she fell in love.

...

Fali realized that Chen Zhao had brought another wolf back.

Although Wouter was already an adult wolf, he was much smaller than Black-Ma and White-Ma. Indeed, he was only half their size.

When Black-Ma and White-Ma appeared before Wouter, he curled up in fear.

Even Walter was 1.5 times as big as Wouter. Walter was really a giant dog at the moment.

Moreover, he was still growing. With the current rate, he would probably at some point be bigger than Black-Ma and White-Ma.

Apart from Black-Ma, White-Ma and Walter, Beelzebub, Carrie, Obitos and Raymond were all putting Wouter under much stress.

In addition to the difference in their sizes, Chen Zhao’s pets also had a special demonic smell. Wouter felt as though he was a lamb which had fallen into a wolf den.

“Is this your new pet again?”

“Not mine. It’s my friend’s. I’m helping to look after him for a few days.”

Fali was about to reach out to Wouter when Chen Zhao stopped her. “He hasn’t been domesticated yet. Also, he’s only an ordinary wolf, unlike Black-Ma and White-Ma, so try not to touch him.”
