When Chen Zhao arrived at LAX, it was only nine in the morning.
Today, it wasn't Fali, Portia, or Refra who came to pick him up. It was Demi.
Not long ago, the two of them were sworn enemies.
Chen Zhao never thought that this woman would come to pick him up.
Of course, it was more like a meeting than a meeting.
Demi sat in Chen Zhao's car.
"Chen, I hope you can keep your promise."
"This is a check for ten million dollars. It's from my account. Don't worry." Chen Zhao handed the check to Demi.
"No, I hope you can transfer the money to the loan sharks. It's money my father owes to Saint An Finance Company."
"Uh …"
"Is there a problem?"
"Saint An Finance Company? I don't think you need to return the money. "
"Why?"
"Their company has already been dissolved."
"That's impossible … I've investigated their company. Their background is very complicated. Also, their boss's family has a lot of influence in politics and the underworld."
"I chased their boss away. He's probably hiding in some sewer now."
"You? Why did you do this to them? Do you have a grudge against them? "
"Not really, but it's not pleasant. Then he wanted to kill me, so I fought back. I didn't kill him, but as long as I'm here, he won't dare to come back."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm very sure," Chen Zhao said, nodding.
Demi stared at Chen Zhao in shock.
Chen Zhao's power seemed to be greater than she'd imagined.
"You can decide what to do with this check," Chen Zhao said. "If you want to return the money for your father, then do it. I won't ask about other uses. Anyway, it's yours."
Demi put the check away. Even she couldn't reject such a huge sum.
Of course, if she accepted the check, it meant that she would no longer be able to clear her grudge with Chen Zhao.
"Tell me what happened this time."
"Do I have to tell you about the conflict with Hamm?"
"I heard that Hamm and his men were found by the Mexican police two days ago. They were buried in the desert and exposed to the sun for half a day." Demi stared at Chen Zhao.
Other than Chen Zhao, she couldn't think of anyone who would or could do something like this.
In the end, the police only found him after receiving an anonymous call.
"I'm not interested in your grudges. I want to know what happened in Sara's lab."
"The process wasn't too complicated. Hamm's team and I separated when we entered Sala's laboratory. Then, I released a large number of failed test subjects and created chaos in Sala's laboratory. However, Sala's laboratory's defense is very strong. If I hadn't found the self-destruct button in the end, I'm afraid this operation would've ended in failure."
"Didn't the people in Sara's lab use the anesthetic fog?"
"Of course it's not a problem in an open space, but the structure of the underground laboratory has no ventilation. Once they use that kind of mist, it will bring more trouble to themselves, so it's understandable that they didn't choose to use it."
The mist also contained the Evolution Spores, and the researchers were well aware of how dangerous the Evolution Spores were.
Once the fog was used, it was very likely that the entire experimental base would be contaminated.
"How did Ham die in the end?"
"He died a heroic death," Chen Zhao said. "He self-destructed to kill the enemy."
There was only relief on Demi's face. There was no regret or pity.
To her, Ham's death was already the best news.
But the operation wasn't perfect either.
Her original plan was to leave a few soldiers alive.
But in the end, not a single one survived.
Now, she had to worry about how to write the operation report.
It was like the police had a shooting report.
The military also had similar requirements. Every military operation required a report.
Usually, it was written by the people and soldiers who participated in the operation.
If all the participants died, then the superior military personnel in Zhili would be responsible for writing the report.
This kind of report without witnesses or material evidence was very troublesome.
If it wasn't written well, they might even be court-martialed.
Of course, this had nothing to do with Chen Zhao.
Chen Zhao drove Demi to the city and left.
They'd just finished a deal, so he had to maintain a certain distance.
When Chen Zhao returned to Moon Villa, Portia and Zefra came out to welcome him.
"Boss, you're back."
"Humph." Chen Zhao turned his head and ignored Portia.
Portia was very embarrassed. She knew that she hadn't done well.
There were tickets for other times, but she'd chosen the earliest one.
"Boss, don't be angry. I was saving you money. That time is the cheapest. See, you saved more than a hundred dollars."
"I don't need that hundred dollars."
"Zefra, distribute the gifts I brought back to the children. Oh, I brought you a bunch of Mexican fire opals."
Opals were also called opals because they were a strange material formed after precipitation and compression of minerals. When light shone on them, it would diffract and refract colors because of the minerals.
They had the flames of ruby, the blue of sapphire, the mysteriousness of amethyst, and the vitality of emerald.
Currently, the main production countries were Mexico and Australia. They were famous for their colorful and colorful colors.
In Europe, opals were stars struck by lightning. In Mexico, opals symbolized hope.
The Mexican fire opals Chen Zhao bought for Zefra were both expensive and cheap.
At least, Chen Zhao felt that $8,000 was not expensive.
Zefra was indifferent, but Portia snatched the fire opal from Zefra's hands. Her eyes sparkled.
"It's so beautiful." The fire opal was mainly dark red with rainbow colors brewing in the pearlescent light. The color was mesmerizing.
Portia turned to Chen Zhao. "Boss, where's mine?"
"What?"
"A gift."
"What gift?"
"Zefra has a gift. I should have one too."
"Gifts are for the sake of the heart."
"What about your heart?"
Chen Zhao took out a bottle from his suitcase.
Portia took it. It was a transparent bottle. Then she saw nothing.
"What?"
"That's my heart."
"But there's nothing in it."
"No, I've filled it with the air of Nukali. Although you can't go to Nukali, you can feel the air of Nukali. Won't you feel much better now?"
"Ha …" Portia gritted her teeth at Chen Zhao.
