The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1035 In this world, be smart and suffer less!
"Hurry up!"

He Qianshan stopped and urged him impatiently.

Lin Chen explained awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I'm only at the Nascent Soul stage, please go a little slower."

He Qianshan asked in confusion, "I asked around. There was a True Body Realm Azure Wolf Demon occupying this place before. Didn't you kill it? You're a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator?"

Lin Chen explained, "I used some tricks; otherwise, I would have been no match for him."

He Qianshan suddenly realized: "No wonder. I asked around before and was wondering how you killed the Blue Wolf Demon."

"You're quite a man, but you've made us lose a lot of income."

Lin Chen asked, puzzled, "What makes you say that?"

He Qianshan laughed and said, "We've been active in this area recently, and we heard from a merchant that Xingyuan City has been occupied by a group of demons. These demons are causing all sorts of trouble in Xingyuan City, so the boss immediately decided to take action against Xingyuan City."

Lin Chen blinked: "What do we do?"

He Qianshan laughed and said, "Why not just do it? Kill these demons, then ask the wealthy families in the city for a large sum of money as a reward for our hard work. After all, we killed those demons, which is a favor to them, so shouldn't they pay us more?"

Lin Chen was slightly surprised. A fee for his hard work?

Although this is still extortion, you are bandits. You have killed the city lord and occupied the city. Shouldn't you have wiped out all the wealthy households in the city, or even confiscated their property and exterminated their families?

Seeing Lin Chen's surprised look, He Qianshan laughed and said, "Our boss hates the demon race more than anything in his life. He may steal, but as long as the demon race runs into him, they are all doomed."

Lin Chen smiled and complimented, "King Kong, a true man!"

He Qianshan laughed heartily: "You should save those words for when you tell the boss to his face. Maybe if the boss is in a good mood, he'll give you a discount."

Lin Chen's strange feeling grew stronger. Robbery and extortion with a discount?

You guys are being way too casual.

Lin Chen followed He Qianshan and cautiously inquired, "I've heard people say that wherever the bandit king goes, not even chickens or dogs are left alive. Why does the Vajra King seem a bit different?"

"Our boss, hey..."

He Qianshan suddenly paused, his tone turning noticeably colder: "Stop trying to get close. I'll let you off this time because I have plenty of stuff. If I don't have enough, you'll see what it means to leave no one alive!"

Lin Chen quickly replied, "It's enough, it's enough, not a single spirit stone is missing. We dare not take your instructions lightly."

He Qianshan's expression softened slightly: "It's good that you know what's good for you. Paying money ensures safety. In this world, being smart will save you from suffering." Lin Chen replied: "Yes, yes. By the way, Brother He, since you are so powerful, why don't you just occupy some cities and garrison them directly, earning spirit stones openly and honestly?"

He Qianshan sneered, "Earning money is nowhere near as fast as robbing. Besides, if we offend too many people, what if those big sects or ancient families come knocking on our door after we finalize the deal? No matter how powerful our leader is, he's still just one person. Wouldn't we be finished?"

Lin Chen nodded in agreement, indicating that he understood, but in his heart he was thinking that it seemed that King Kong's power was not that strong.

King Kong may be very strong, but judging from what he said, he is the strongest in his team, and the others are much weaker. When they encounter a truly powerful opponent, they are no match for him and cannot withstand his attacks. Therefore, they dare not settle down and can only wander around and fight guerrilla warfare.

Of course, he was right; earning spirit stones honestly is nowhere near as fast as robbing.

The distance was farther than Lin Chen had anticipated; it took half a day to reach the destination.

At the foot of a low, unassuming hill stood a makeshift camp, where a group of people were gambling noisily, while another group of people sat nearby drinking.

"Old He, why did you bring someone back with you?"

Whether they were drinking, gambling, or sunbathing, they all turned their heads and their eyes fell on Lin Chen, looking him up and down as if he were a lamb walking into a pack of wolves.

He Qianshan laughed and said, "Lin Chu, the city lord of Xingyuan City, said he was afraid I was a fraud, so he wanted to confirm that I was King Vajra's man before he would hand over the peace fee to us, so I brought him here."

Upon hearing this, everyone became interested. Those who were gambling stopped gambling, and those who were drinking stopped drinking, and they all gathered around.

"Oh, so fair-skinned and delicate, you're already a city lord at such a young age?"

"Wasn't it supposed to be a wolf demon that was in charge before? How come it's been replaced by a young brat?"

"You're pretty brave. You weren't even afraid when you saw us."

A magical curtain, resembling a small pavilion, was lifted, and a burly man at least two meters tall walked out. He was bald, shirtless, and muscular, with strange array patterns painted on his body.

"Boy, you want to see me?"

The burly man laughed at Lin Chen: "Others would run away at the mere mention of the name Eighth King, but today I've seen something truly remarkable. There's someone who's not afraid and has actually come to us of his own accord."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Are you the Vajra King Yelü Yuan?"

The burly man grinned and said, "Yes, I am the real King Kong Bandit King. Are you sure now?"
