Demons Beside You

Chapter 329: Go, You Can Do It

“Chen, are you still alright?” Wright knew that an athlete could hardly compete again immediately after a competition.

Therefore, she was very worried for Chen Zhao’s stamina.

“Not at all,” Chen Zhao said.

“Are you too tired?”

“No, I just hate swimming competitions, because I can’t talk at all. It just sucks to be unable to talk during such a long competition.”

Eveleigh suddenly recalled that when Chen Zhao was competing with Grint in the long run, he verbally harassed Grint throughout the journey. Her face darkened at once.

This asshole is simply unsatiably shameless!

“Aren’t you getting into position? Are you trying to waste time?” Kanter urged.

Kanter obviously hoped to have the competition as soon as possible. The quicker it happened, the less Chen Zhao’s stamina would recover and the more likely he would win.

As for fairness? There was no fairness in competitive sports.

If there were fairness, foul tactics would not have developed.

In any era, only the winners would be remembered.

Only the winners could speak.

Chen Zhao stood on the platform and glanced at Kanter.

Eveleigh looked at Chen Zhao’s back. “Normans, are you sure he can win Kanter? Kanter isn’t slow, and he just swam 1500 meters.”

“If he can’t even swim for such a short distance, why should he charge you two hundred thousand?” Normans assured, unworried.

Although Normans had said so, Eveleigh still felt that it was risky.

She was an 800m freestyle swimmer. She knew well how tiring it was to swim 800 meters at full speed.

Not far away, Gina had been sitting beside the pool, drinking nutrient water since the end of the competition.

One could deduce how exhausting a 1500m freestyle competition was.

Swimming 3000 meters slowly and two 1500m freestyle competitions were two entirely different concepts.

Wright was just as anxious as Eveleigh.

She was similarly worried about Chen Zhao’s stamina. Nevertheless, Chen Zhao, already standing on the platform, was out on a limb.

“Get ready.” Wright gave the command this time. “Chen, be more serious.”

“Fine, I’ll be serious this time.” Chen Zhao finally bent his body properly.

Bang!

Chen Zhao and Kanter jumped into the water almost simultaneously. No, Kanter was slightly faster.

“Kanter jumped the gun,” Eveleigh said.

“Doesn’t matter. Just wait for the outcome,” Normans said calmly.

Chen Zhao was too fast. Almost instantly, he was already one body length ahead. He reached 50 meters and turned around first.

And then came the second, and the third…

When Chen Zhao turned for the fourth time, Kanter had only just made his third.

Their difference was too obvious.

Kanter had already noticed that Chen Zhao was way faster than him.

Now, he could only pray that Chen Zhao would run out of stamina halfway.

“Normans, how much time has passed?” Eveleigh asked softly.

Normans glanced at the stopwatch in her hand. “6 minutes and 20 seconds.”

“He’s already swum 700 meters, right?”

“Yes.”

“If he maintains this speed, he will break the world record!”

Eveleigh looked at the swimming Chen Zhao. By then, Chen Zhao’s speed had decreased slightly.

Eveleigh heaved a sigh. She had indeed been overthinking.

If a world record could be broken so easily, it would not have been a world record in the first place.

Nonetheless, a Chinese had set the world record for men’s 1500m freestyle.

Is the Chinese really more talented at long-distance freestyle?

Finally, Chen Zhao reached the end. Normans pressed the stopwatch. “14 minutes and 58.12 seconds.”

Chen Zhao climbed out of the pool. He turned around and looked at Kanter, after which he asked, “How many laps has he finished?”

“Twelve.”

“Mr. Kanter, go, you can do it!”

Normans rolled her eyes. Chen Zhao finally started to be a bitch.

Kanter immediately choked on the water. He realized that Chen Zhao was sitting on the edge of the pool and also stopped. “Why are you there?”

“I finished, of course.”

“That’s impossible… I’ve just swum over 1200 meters. How could you possibly finish so soon? You cheated!”

“Stop bullshiting. So many people are here, watching. How do I even cheat?” Chen Zhao said emotionlessly.

There were more than ten people in the complex. Gina also said, “Mr. Kanter, Mr. Chen wasn’t lying. He really finished the entire distance.”

Kanter also stopped swimming. He climbed out of the water, ready to leave.

“Mr. Kanter, did you forget something?”

“What?”

“The bet?”

“I’m not feeling well today, so it doesn’t count.”

It was five thousand, after all. He did not have that much money at the moment.

“That’s none of my business. Take the gamble and pay the loss.”

“1500m freestyle isn’t my forte.”

“I don’t care what you’re good at. You’re going to pay today,” Chen Zhao insisted.

“What if I don’t?”

“Then you might not be able to leave this place alive.”

Princess who had been lying at the side stood up and strolled toward them.

Black-Ma, White-Ma and Obitos also got up, closing in on Kanter.

“What are you doing? This is blackmailing!”

“Chen, I have something else. Bye,” Wright said.

“Dr. Wright, don’t leave… Don’t leave me here! This Asian is going to attack me!”

“Sorry, I didn’t see anything.”

Princess had already stood up. Kanter lifted his head and looked at the terrifyingly ferocious beast before him. He swallowed some saliva uncontrollably.

“I… I’ll write a debt notice.”

Chen Zhao patted Kanter’s shoulder. “Sure, but don’t forget to pay the interest.”

Kanter almost vomited blood. What’s this?!

He hated Chen Zhao even more.

“Puff, feels really relaxed after some exercise.” Chen Zhao turned and twisted his neck. “Great, let’s start our training.”

Normans and Eveleigh approached Chen Zhao. Normans said, “Chen, can you make me improve in a short period of time?”

“I’m not sure about her, but it’s definitely a yes for you.”

“Oh, really?” Normans’ eyes glowed. Doesn’t that mean that I’m more talented?

“You can go to a hospital for breast reduction surgery. It’ll decrease water resistance and you’ll surely improve.”

“Asshole!” Normans gritted her teeth in anger, but Eveleigh was not happy either.

Didn’t Chen Zhao’s words mean indirectly that her breasts were small?

Actually, Eveleigh’s were not small at all. They were just ordinary and not as tremendous as Normans’.
