Demons Beside You

Chapter 327: We Can Have A Competition, But I Want To Bet

After overcoming her fear of Princess, Wright started to enjoy the awe-filled stares of others.

She simply looked too imposing with Princess beside her.

When Princess entered the swimming complex, she caused many people to scream.

A man in swimming trunks grabbed a mop in panic and waved it at Princess.

Roar!

Princess roared and the man sat on the ground in fear.

“Normans, don’t go there. It’s a bear!” Shocked, Eveleigh pulled Normans, wanting to escape from the complex.

Normans patted Eveleigh’s hand. “It’s fine. It’s that asshole.”

Indeed, Chen Zhao and Wright walked in from the outside.

“Shit, beasts ain’t allowed in here!” the man on the ground shouted.

Roar!

Princess suddenly stood up. With her 3.5 meters tall body straightened, she looked inviolably majestic. The man turned around and fled at once.

“Enough, Princess. Stop scaring people.” Wright petted Princess and only then did she lower her body again.

Normans approached them. “Hello, Dr. Wright.”

“Normans, long time no see… You don’t seem to be afraid of Princess at all.”

“We’ve met before. Also… Chen has a pet who’s much bigger than Princess.”

Wright immediately turned her head and looked at Chen Zhao. “Chen, really? What’s bigger than Princess? A Rhino? Or an elephant?”

“I’ll introduce him to you next time,” Chen Zhao said. “Wright, thank you for bringing me here.”

“So you came here for Normans?” Wright asked.

Just then, Eveleigh walked over. She knew that Chen Zhao and Wright were close friends.

“Dr. Wright, Chen is the swimming coach I’ve hired,” Eveleigh said.

“What? Chen, you want to become a swimming coach?” Wright was greatly surprised. “Can you?”

“I think so,” Chen Zhao said, shrugging his shoulders.

“You sure?” Wright was very doubtful.

Just then, the man who had escaped in fear appeared again.

“Eveleigh, he’s your coach?” Kanter Burr inspected Chen Zhao carefully. Contempt was clearly written all over his face.

Originally Kanter thought that Eveleigh would hire a retired professional athlete or a coach who had taught famous swimmers before.

He did not expect her to actually hire an Asian.

Do Asians even know how to swim?

“Are you sure he can teach you how to swim faster?” Kanter said directly before Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao looked at Kanter and then at Normans and Eveleigh. “Don’t tell me you asked him to come here to pick on me.”

Normans rolled her eyes. “Do you think I have nothing better to do?”

“Fine. Mister, if you have nothing else, please leave.” Chen Zhao did not want to waste any time with Kanter. He clearly had no good intention.

“Eveleigh, I think you really should reconsider carefully. Are you sure this Asian isn’t a fraud?”

Both Eveleigh and Normans frowned. Even Wright looked very much displeased. “Mr. Kanter, please mind your language. You’re just an external coach, not an official staff of the university. On the other hand, the person whom you just questioned is a lecturer in our college. If you say such words again, I’m happy to fire you and hire a coach who knows humbleness.”

“Alright, maybe he’s not a fraud.” Kanter retreated. Just like what Wright had said, he did not want to lose the job, but it did not mean he would accept Chen Zhao. “But I still don’t think he’s a good coach, especially when it comes to swimming. I’m afraid he can’t even beat the girls here, unless he can prove himself.”

“Who are you? Why should I prove anything to you? Or are you just salty that I’m gonna be paid two hundred thousand?”

Wright was stunned. “Chen, you’re going to get two hundred thousand from Eveleigh?”

“Yes, it’s the price I normally charge.”

“Dr. Wright, do you get it now? Paying two hundred thousand to an outsider to act as a swimming coach. How ridiculous is that?”

“I didn’t ask for it. Eveleigh requested it herself.”

“Even so, I still think that she’s just been deceived.”

Kanter was just being jealous that Chen Zhao was going to get two hundred thousand.

As a professional swimming coach, his annual salary was only thirty thousand.

Moreover, Chen Zhao would get to teach Eveleigh, the prettiest girl in the swimming team.

Eveleigh would usually not even allow Kanter to go near her.

“If you want to teach here, you need to prove yourself first. Look at us. Everyone here is close to being a professional swimmer. But what about you? As a swimming coach, you might not even beat the girls here.”

“Which means that if I beat the girls here, I can stay. Is it?” Chen Zhao asked.

Kanter smiled. He was waiting for this moment.

“Gina Lisby, come out,” Kanter called. A tall and well-proportioned girl walked out.

The girl had long limbs and was about 1.75 meters tall. One could tell from the muscles on her arms and thighs that she was a talented swimmer.

Only the gifted could become excellent swimmers. Firstly, a good swimmer had to satisfy certain bodily conditions, such as the lengths of the limbs and the sizes of the hands and feet. These would all determine the swimmer’s eventual achievements.

Eveleigh’s expression changed slightly. Noticing it, Normans asked softly, “Is that girl very good?”

“She’s the best swimmer in the college’s female team, especially for medium to long distances. She once made it in 16 minutes for 1500 meters.”

Normans looked at Chen Zhao. She knew that Chen Zhao was very strong physically, but he had never truly displayed his swimming speed.

She was also unsure if Chen Zhao could beat the girl named Gina.

Wright also looked at Chen Zhao. As Chen Zhao’s senior, she clearly did not want him to be humiliated.

However, Chen Zhao agreed to compete with a girl himself.

No matter the result, he would have to face it himself too.

“We can have a competition, but I want to bet,” Chen Zhao said. “Mr. Kanter, do you dare to bet with me?”

“How?”

“A thousand dollars. If I win, you must give me a thousand.”

Kanter looked at Gina and smiled. “Of course.”
