America is indeed dangerous. I came here to save the American people who are in dire straits.
It's too f * cking dangerous!
How many times have I been shot and how many times have I died in less than a month?
As soon as he returned to the hotel, he received a call from Melson. "Chen, do you have time? The LA Times wants to interview you and take a photo of you and your dog."
"Sorry, forget it. I'm not suited to appear in the media. You should know how special my job is."
Chen Zhao was an illegal doctor. If an illegal doctor appeared in the media, even if the police turned a blind eye, the people from the Medical Association would not.
"I understand, but you have to be careful. Some reporters seem to have found some clues. They might go around the police and dig for information about you."
Hearing this, Chen Zhao felt a headache. He would not end well if he was targeted by the media.
Even though he was not a celebrity, he was still a hot topic.
From yesterday to today, the news about the shooting at the hospital had not stopped.
Chen Zhao stayed in his room for the whole day.
In the past few days, he had lived a fulfilling and exciting life.
Ethan did not pick up any clients for him either, so he could spend the day in peace.
Chen Zhao slept until nighttime. Of course, he was woken up by Ethan's knocking on the door.
"Chen, you're awake?"
"You woke me up." Chen Zhao opened the door and let Ethan in.
"I heard about what happened in the hospital yesterday."
Ethan looked at Beelzebub. "My little hero, come here."
Beelzebub ignored Ethan and went back to sleep.
Ethan was somewhat disappointed that Beelzebub ignored him.
"Your house seems to be almost finished. Do you want to go buy furniture tomorrow? I'll go with you."
"Sure … Wait … Ethan, what's your goal?"
"What goal can I have? It's just helping each other as friends."
"Helping each other?"
"Yes, helping each other."
"Tell me, what do you want?"
"My grandmother. I want to visit her tomorrow. I hope you can come with me too."
After all that, he just wanted Chen Zhao to be his free labor.
Whatever. Chen Zhao was quite different from Ethan. This small favor did not matter.
"This is a freshly made burger. It's on me, and Beelzebub."
"Is there anything else?"
"Alright, I'll be leaving first."
Chen Zhao picked up a burger and tossed it to Beelzebub.
Chen Zhao sat on the table and casually opened the metal box.
Suddenly, there was a flash of light, and a fist-sized demonic crystal appeared in the metal box.
Unlike the demonic crystals in the past, this demonic crystal looked like a meticulously carved accessory. It was a heart-shaped black gem.
The moment Chen Zhao picked up the demonic crystal, Beelzebub stopped eating and stared at it.
"Perfect crystal!"
Raymond, who had been curled up in his bed, crawled out as well. He wanted nothing more than to pounce on her.
"How old is the demonic crystal?"
"One hundred years."
"Oh?"
"Chen, I worked so hard yesterday. You should reward me. I don't need too much. Give me ten years. That's not too much, right?"
"I worked hard yesterday too. Look at Rasfa and Steven, those two humans. I contributed a lot."
"Each of you has one year's worth. Do you have any more?"
"One year then … Wait, I don't want the other crystal pieces. I want this one."
"Is this different from other demonic crystals?"
"Of course. Just like how human gems have different grades, demonic crystals have different grades too. This is a perfect crystal. It's better than regular demonic crystals."
"Then, according to the value, what is the value?"
"At least 150 years' worth of demonic crystal."
"Maybe it's even higher."
"Then I'll give you two years' worth of demonic crystal. I won't knock this one out. The whole one should be more valuable."
"Okay, I'll accept the price."
The perfect crystal was indeed beautiful, but to Chen Zhao, practicality was more important.
If he wanted a beautiful gem, man-made ones might not be that bad.
The next day, Ethan brought Chen Zhao to the supermarket to order furniture.
"Sirs, what type of furniture are you looking for? This is a bed. This brand is … "
"This bed isn't big enough," Chen Zhao said, rubbing his chin.
Yesterday, he'd tried the big bed at Rasfa's house. He and Zola could do whatever they wanted. It was amazing.
So, Chen Zhao decided that he had to get a bed as big as that.
"The beds and mattresses here are all standard. The specifications are basically the same, but if you need a special one, we can make it for you."
"Chen, you're living alone. Do you need such a big bed?"
"Yes, of course," Chen Zhao said without hesitation.
The salesgirl happily accepted the big order. In order to customize the bed, Chen Zhao paid a 30% deposit, which was $600. In other words, the bed and mattress cost $2,000.
Chen Zhao rarely squandered like this, but he felt that it was worth it.
Then there were tables, chairs, sofas, appliances, and a laptop. All in all, he spent more than $6,000.
Except for the bed, which Chen Zhao generously spent $2,000 on, the other furniture was painful.
As for the other furniture, Chen Zhao felt pain every time. He felt like his heart was bleeding.
The furniture was not sent to his new home immediately. Instead, it would be delivered in four days.
"Chen, let's go to my grandmother's house now."
"You're going empty-handed? You're not going to bring any gifts? "
"Uh … What do you want to buy?" Ethan was confused. "Every time I go, I don't bring anything. Grandmother always welcomes me with the warmest way. I don't think she needs anything."
Chen Zhao kicked Ethan's butt. "Can I say that you're an asshole?"
This fatty really didn't know how to behave.
"Fine. What do you think I should buy?"
Then, the two went back to the supermarket and bought a carnation and a bag of fruits. They also spent $300 on an Apple tablet.
Ethan's heart ached for the $300.
Ethan's grandmother was 95 years old and lived in Los Angeles.
She lived in a high-end commercial building. Apparently, she was a university professor and a high-level intellectual.
