In the middle of the meal, Deon Slote came.
But he didn't enter directly. Chen Zhao and Deon stood outside, talking.
"Chen, thank you for taking care of Azina."
"It's nothing. My pet accidentally bit her toy to death."
"Uh …" Deon was stunned. "It's okay. She won't be able to grow it anyway."
"What?"
"Ever since she was young, she never had a pet for more than a month. For example, her first pet was a little rabbit, and she crushed it to death on the bed. I have to prepare a pet for her almost every month, maybe for half a month …"
Sometimes, when parents couldn't accompany their children, they hoped that pets could take their place.
"If it's convenient, can you let her come over to play?" Deon begged.
No matter how he was or what he'd done in town, at least he was a father now.
"Of course. Azina is always welcome here."
Chen Zhao and Deon sat in the yard and chatted until Azina finished her dinner. Only then did Chen Zhao bring Azina home.
Azina was very reluctant to part with Chen Zhao's pets. They were almost separated by life and death.
…
"Chen, that's the mayor of Mountain Town, right?"
"Yes. You've seen him before?"
"Once. I heard that he doesn't have a good reputation in town."
"It's none of my business. I don't have any conflicts of interest with him anyway."
Chen Zhao shrugged nonchalantly. As for whether being too close to Deon would affect his reputation, Chen Zhao didn't care at all.
Chen Zhao didn't care about that. He didn't need everyone to agree with him.
As long as his friends approved of him, it was fine. For example, Bant and Mary wouldn't stay away from him because he was close to someone.
As for the others, they could think whatever they wanted.
"Fali, do you have money?"
"Money? How much do you need? "
"How much do you have?"
"Two thousand dollars," Fali answered.
"How many years have you worked?"
"Three and a half years."
"You don't have any savings?"
"Why would I save money?"
It was a strange way of thinking, at least in Chen Zhao's opinion.
But to Fali, Chen Zhao was the strange one. Why would he save money instead of spending it?
Wait for the dollar to depreciate?
Americans believed in spending more than they could afford. Depositing money in the bank was the stupidest thing to do.
Chen Zhao, on the other hand, was a typical Chinese. He saved his money for emergencies.
Besides, how much could it depreciate? Unless you devalue the dollar to yen.
"Are you in need of money?"
"I want to buy a piece of land and build a house of my own," Chen Zhao said straightforwardly.
"What's the difference?"
"Originally, I had enough money to buy the land, but now I'm suddenly short of money again."
"I can't help you. This $2,000 and a fake black diamond pendant I bought for $100 from the flea market are all I have. In fact, I borrowed the $2,000 from the bank."
"Forget it, I'll think of another way."
Suddenly, a shadow enveloped the two people on the sofa.
Chen Zhao and Fali looked up at the same time. They saw a two-headed wolf looking down at them from above.
"Ah …" Fali screamed.
Chen Zhao grabbed Fali and leaped forward.
"Human? This is the human world? "The two-headed wolf looked at Chen Zhao and Fali, then at the surroundings.
"Chen … where did this come from?"
Chen Zhao was also confused. Just then, Beelzebub and the others came in.
All of them looked furious. "Human, you summoned another demon," Beelzebub complained. "Such a useless demon."
"Who are you?" Chen Zhao protected Fali behind him.
This two-headed wolf was definitely a demon, but it was the first demon servant that didn't appear in the form of a small animal.
Chen Zhao wasn't sure if this demon would be as obedient as Beelzebub and the others.
"Me? Mammon Bethel, I'm a subordinate of the King of Greed. Human, why are we here? "
One of the seven deadly sins, greed.
"Chen, I … I'm scared." Fali grabbed Chen Zhao's shirt tightly and hid behind him.
"It's okay. He won't hurt you." Chen Zhao took a deep breath.
Beelzebub, Raymond, and Carrie had all been summoned by him when he had the desire.
Since Mammon Bethel was a subordinate of the King of Greed, he must've been summoned when Chen Zhao showed his desire for money.
"Mammon, are you going to keep talking to me like this? After all, I'm your master. "
"Master? A mere human dares to call himself my master? "Mammon was very disdainful. He pressed his huge body forward.
The next moment, his body suddenly split into two wolves, one black and one white.
The white wolf actually jumped forward. He faced the black wolf with his back to Chen Zhao, as if he was stopping the black wolf.
"White, are you going to stop me from killing this human?"
"Black, he's your master. If you attack him, you'll be punished."
"Master? I don't have a master. "
"Feel his aura," the white wolf said.
The black wolf finally stopped advancing and sensed carefully.
"Strange, why is it like this? Why do I have a master? Why am I in the human world? "
"Looks like you all know your identity and situation." Chen Zhao finally heaved a sigh of relief. It was the best result that there was no conflict.
"Chen."
"It's okay," Chen Zhao said, patting Fali.
"You summoned them?"
"Yes, I accidentally summoned them just now and scared myself."
"The next time you summon something strange, can you let me know in advance?"
"I already said it was an accident."
"Are you sure they won't attack me?"
"Go back first. I'll set some rules for them."
"Okay, call me when you're done."
Fali ran back to her room and pulled Walter with her.
Chen Zhao looked at the black and white wolves. They seemed to be one.
"Shouldn't you introduce yourselves?"
"I'm White Mammon and he's my brother, Black Mammon. I represent wealth and he represents the price."
"Be more direct. I don't understand."
"I can give wealth and he'll take the price."
"You can make money out of thin air?"
"No," White Mammon said.
"Then can you make me win the lottery?"
"No."
"Then what can you do?"
"I can guide you to wealth. Of course, you have to pay the price too."
"What price?" Chen Zhao took out a demonic crystal. "Is this okay?"
