Chapter 426: It’s Time To Build Some Defenses

“Blackie, it seems like it’s not just my house lacking security. Your house does too.”

“They came in to my house from yours,” Blackie said, dissatisfied. “Plus, couldn’t you put away the key when you left? Disregarding outside intruders, what if your woman broke in?”

“Oh yeah, what if Fali came in accidentally and neither of us were here?” Chen Zhao immediately realized this was a problem.

The inferior demons in the castle might not dare to do anything, but the wyverns had low intelligence. They might not know that this was the female master.

“Have Samuel make a badge that carries his aura. This can scare the wyverns.”

Chen Zhao nodded. This was the only solution.

“Oh, help me train some inferior demons,” Chen Zhao said. “Choose some smarter ones so I can bring them out.

The house was so big, but only Chen Zhao and Fali lived there. They had the AI system for help, but it was tiring to clean such a big house. Even Chen Zhao found it tiring, let alone Fali. Cleaning up after the big and small pets was also annoying.

Thus, Chen Zhao felt it necessary to have Fali meet some inferior demons.

Fali wanted maids, but there were too many secrets in the house. It wasn’t suitable for outsiders to know. This was why inferior demons were the best choice for maids. They were timid and very obedient.

They were also more hardworking than humans because they had to show their value. If they realized that they’d lost value, they would lose their reason to exist.

Plus, inferior demons wouldn’t affect his and Fali’s lifestyles. This was the most important.

“Okay, I’ll choose some for you.” Blackie nodded, agreeing to this. “Right, I heard that there’s a stone demon production technique in Hell. Next time you go, look and see if you can find it.”

“What are stone demons used for?”

“Stone demons are manmade mixed demons, like the Hellhound, but they’re usually statues. They can both guard and attack.”

“Isn’t necromancy enough?”

“Stone demons are a type of necromancy beings, but they’re different. They have two states: living and statue. You don’t have to activate them. Their thoughts also have a certain synchronization with the master. They can differentiate between friend and foe by themselves.”

“That’s nice.”

Chen Zhao thought that his house really lacked defenses. Any random person could break in. Strengthening the defenses was necessary, but regular types couldn’t be used. They were both expensive and inconvenient.

Magic beings were the simplest. Chen Zhao returned to the bedroom and Fali immediately grabbed him.

“It wasn’t the Hellhound fighting with Little Nine, right?” Fali rubbed against him.

“Still not sleeping?” Chen Zhao kissed her softly.

“The dogs are so friendly with Little Nine and always follow each other around. How can they fight?”

“Oh, it’s no big deal.” Chen Zhao rested Fali against his chest. “I found some servants for our house.”

“Some? Our house is big, but we don’t need more than one, right?”

“Special servants,” Chen Zhao said.

“How special?”

“They’re not human.”

“Oh? Where are they now.”

“Still in training. I don’t want to teach them what to do after they get here. They have to know what to do beforehand and get to work immediately.”

“What are these things you speak of?”

“A special breed. They’re a type of supernatural beings. They’re really small and timid, and live to please their masters.”

“Like earth elves in books?”

“They’re much more obedient.”

Fali grew even more curious. “When can they get here?”

“It depends on their training.”

“How big are they?”

“A bit bigger than Beelzebub, but not more than one meter tall.”

After Fali started dating Chen Zhao, she kept discovering new and unimaginable things. Chen Zhao’s mysteriousness deeply attracted her.

…

As they entered March, the days started getting warmer.

Of course, L.A.’s weather was always quite stable. It never got very cold or hot. Most of the time, the temperature was below 20 degrees Celsius.

“Tiger, come over. I’ll take you to the trainer today.”

A while later, Tiger hurried over. He’d been nervous since Chen Zhao told him yesterday that he would recommend him to a trainer who’d beaten Chen Zhao up before.

In the car, Tiger kept asking, “Mr. Chen, what should I say after I meet the trainer?”

“Don’t worry. She’s not going to eat you.”

That’s not for sure, Tiger thought. What kind of monster could defeat Chen Zhao?

After Chen Zhao and Tiger reached the gym parking lot, he saw a car that looked familiar. Wasn’t that his Ford SUV? But it seemed to be repaired.

“Let’s go up.” Chen Zhao brought Tiger upstairs. Tiger grew even more nervous.

After they got to the fitness center, the older members went to greet Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao pushed open Gaia’s office door. “Hi, Gaia.”

Tiger froze when he saw Gaia. How come it was a woman? But seeing Gaia’s body, he didn’t dare to overlook her anymore.

Gaia was probably in the same weight class as him.

“Who’s that?” Gaia asked.

“Someone with potential,” Chen Zhao said. “I want to invest in him.”

“Boxing?”

“Yes.”

“No way,” Gaia said. “He looks like he has the same personality as you. All soft, not suitable for boxing.”

“Don’t be like that.” Chen Zhao looked helpless. “Can you not kill my ego in front of my student?”

“It’s for his own good,” Gaia said. “I won’t stop him if he has a monster’s body like you.”

“I’ll take care of his body,” Chen Zhao said. “Just help me train him in technique. Zanla Douglas broke his arms before and he just got his confidence back. Are you going to destroy a young man’s spirit like this?”

“I heard Zanla’s manager announce that he’s quitting,” Gaia said. “Does this have anything to do with you?”

“I broke his arms too.”

Gaia touched her chin. “What do I get from this?”

“You’ll get what an athlete’s coach gets. Trust me. He has more potential than you think.”

Gaia thought for a long while. “You’re sure he can perform well in professional boxing?”

“Yes, I promise.”

“Fine, I can train him for free, but if he doesn’t get anything within two years, you’ll have to pay me $500,000. How about that?”

“Okay,” Chen Zhao answered easily.

“I haven’t fought in a long time. How about we do a round?”
