Demons Beside You

Chapter 466: James’ Request

“Terry, great job. This scene was done great.”

Steven patted Terry’s shoulder for encouragement when he got back on land. Terry was a very professional actor. Steven didn’t mind giving more scenes to actors like this.

“Thank you, sir. It’s Amon who cooperated with me well.”

“Of course. It gets paid ten times more than you.”

Terry chuckled wryly. Can we not talk about this?

Terry was only a stunts man. There were many like him in Hollywood.

However, there wasn’t a second killer whale like Amon in the world.

“Take a break and get ready for the second shot.”

The morning shooting went successfully. Any scene that had Amon only needed one take.

Chen Zhao and Steven were currently drinking a bottle of beer on the deck.

Just then, James walked over. “Mr. Steven, Mr. Chen, can I say something?”

Chen Zhao glanced at Steven. He wasn’t sure why James had come.

Though they knew each other, they weren’t friends.

“Sure, come,” Steven said. “Say whatever you want before Chen.”

It seemed that Steven knew what James wanted to say and supported him.

“Hello, Mr. Chen.”

“James, we’ve known each other for a while. Just speak straightforwardly.”

“I heard that PLM is currently preparing another movie, but the director isn’t decided yet. I want to compete for the position. I hope you can help recommend me.”

“Me?” Chen Zhao asked. “I’m close to Rasfa, but I never get into his work.”

“Chen, PLM’s new project is related to you,” Steven said. “It’s the story of your pets protecting the supermarket in Sacramento. They’ll definitely need to borrow your pets later, so you definitely have a say in this movie.”

Chen Zhao thought about it and asked Steven, “You think James is suitable?”

“He’s quite talented and has very good basic skills. He just hasn’t completed a movie by himself before. PLM’s new project is a mid-level movie. The investments are a bit lower than the movie we’re shooting now. It’s good for James to try. If he succeeds, then he can upgrade to an official director. If he fails, then he’ll forever be under me. It’s that simple.”

“So you support James?”

“This *sshole will fool around sometimes, but he still has the skills. He’s followed me for more than ten years. I hope he can have an opportunity like this.”

“Okay, I’ll tell Rasfa, but I can’t promise if I’ll be successful or not.”

James was overjoyed. He immediately said, “No matter what, I’ll still be grateful, Mr. Chen.”

“Okay, do your current work well. Don’t think too far ahead. You’ll be in charge of the few shots on the boat in the afternoon.”

“I understand, Mr. Steven.”

To James, he’d already succeeded halfway if Chen Zhao and Steven were willing to help.

“Chen, when are you free? We can come out to sea with Rasfa. Us two can find many pretty girls.”

“Do you have time now?”

“Wait until I’m done shooting,” Steven said. They were shooting a movie now, after all. He couldn’t leave halfway through to go have fun.

“Then we’ll talk after you’re done.”

…

“Hi, Mr. Chen, can you please give me a ride back?”

“Fine.” Chen Zhao pulled Herretia onto the yacht. “You finished filming everything?”

“I’m only a minor character with a few minutes of screen time. It ended in four or five scenes.”

Herretia didn’t cause any more trouble on the way back.

After all, she’d used up 80% of her magic and still hadn’t recovered fully.

She wasn’t confident in fighting Chen Zhao now. There was a killer whale hiding in the sea, let alone other things.

With Chen Zhao’s one command, it could swallow her and the yacht whole.

After all, she’d been at the film site. She saw how good Chen Zhao was at controlling the killer whale.

Herretia suspected that Chen Zhao cast a spell on the killer whale, so it grew to that size.

At the pier, Chen Zhao took Herretia to land and then steered the yacht away.

Because he’d rented the yacht for a week, he could use it freely during this time.

Chen Zhao cruised into the inner river. From there, he entered a branch that led straight to Mirror Lake.

However, it took much longer to go by water. If he went on land, it would only take an hour to reach Mirror Lake.

Going by water took at least two hours, so he could only do this occasionally for fun.

…

“Chen, I asked about your question from yesterday. It should be a spell from eastern Europe. It should be a type of toxicology. The witch casts a spell by taking advantage of the target’s hatred for someone. The target would also die within half a year.”

Chen Zhao wasn’t interested in Jared’s life or death. He just couldn’t understand how he’d offended an eastern European witch.

The only witches he knew were Sienna and Rupert. Sienna definitely wouldn’t attack him.

Rupert wanted to, but she didn’t have the guts. Plus, Rupert’s strong point was curses, not toxicology.

If it wasn’t them, then only Pierce South was left.

It was possible that he’d found another witch to kill Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao found it annoying. Pierce South just wouldn’t appear before him. Chen Zhao couldn’t even cause him trouble.

Plus, it made him anxious to have such a weird enemy loose in the wild.

Pierce South didn’t have many skills, but he could always cause trouble. This was the most important.

“Can you help me find someone?” Chen Zhao asked.

“Is it that Pierce South?” Sienna asked.

“Yes.”

“I can’t, but you can find a diviner.”

“Do you know any?”

“I do. I can help introduce you, but she’s pretty expensive.”

“What price?”

“If it’s a regular person, you only need a few thousand. If it’s a witch, it’ll be very expensive. It can a few ten thousand or even hundred thousand dollars.”

“That expensive? I need to think about it.”

Just then, a car stopped before the house. Chen Zhao saw an unfamiliar car in the security camera.

“I have a guest. We’ll talk later.”
