The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2162 I am a man of my word!

Qin Zheng stared at Lin Chen, his expression calm: "Are you asking about that fragment of meteorite iron?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes."

Qin Zheng answered frankly, "Yes, that is the source of all my knowledge, but can you understand it?"

Lin Chen reached out and took out the meteorite fragment that Qin Zheng had mentioned. It was a fragment the size of a millstone with a pattern on it.

The pattern is quite complex, with some scattered symbols around it. At first glance, they seem inconspicuous, but upon closer inspection, you'll find that these things appear to be alive, possessing their own life.

This wasn't the first time Lin Chen had seen something like this.

From the initial "Shrinking the Earth to an Inch" stone slab to many later items, they all contain the essence of Tao, which, simply put, is the true meaning of Tao.

The pattern on this meteorite fragment is just like that. At first glance, it seems nonsensical, but if you look closely, you will find that everything seems to come alive and is telling you a message. As for whether you can accept it, that depends on your own understanding.

Qin Zheng frankly admitted it, staring at Lin Chen as he added, "That technique isn't easy to comprehend. If I guide you, you'll achieve twice the result with half the effort. If I don't guide you, you might never even get close to the basics in your entire life."

Lin Chen laughed: "So, I should spare your life instead of killing you now?"

Qin Zheng smiled: "This multiple-choice question isn't difficult."

Because the multiple-choice question wasn't difficult, Qin Zheng directly told Lin Chen the answer without any concealment. He believed that after knowing the answer, Lin Chen would be even more eager to know what was on it, since he himself had become the Emperor of a Realm, the Great Luo Immortal, after learning it!

Lin Chen smiled slightly: "Yes, this multiple-choice question is indeed not difficult for me."

Qin Zheng relaxed, and just as he was waiting for Lin Chen to propose various conditions for releasing him, he saw Lin Chen suddenly turn his head and smile slightly at the huge black dragon behind him: "Senior, I have finished asking my questions. He is yours."

The Dark Ancestral Dragon's massive head was covered in wounds, as was its enormous body. It had exerted the most effort in the battle and was also the most severely injured. If Qin Zheng hadn't been exhausted, the Dark Ancestral Dragon would have been killed long ago.

The Dark Ancestral Dragon stared at Lin Chen with its enormous eyes: "His offer is so tempting, why aren't you agreeing?"

The Dark Ancestral Dragon was struck in the right eye, a blow that nearly destroyed it. Even so, a huge, gruesome wound remained above and below its right eye socket. Lin Chen smiled and said, "The offer is tempting, but I don't believe it. I won't do anything that involves dealing with a tiger for its skin. I'd rather skin the tiger and use its skin as a blanket. Besides, I promised you, how can I go back on my word?"

The Dark Ancestral Dragon's eerie bloodshot eyes stared at Lin Chen: "Kid, you're pretty good. You can remain unmoved in the face of such temptation!"

Hearing their conversation, Qin Zheng panicked: "I'm serious, I'm not lying to you, I said I can swear an oath to Heaven..."

Lin Chen smiled slightly and stared at Qin Zheng, saying, "If I truly believed you and let you go, without you even having to say a word, countless powerful figures from all over the world would come to kill me. Some things don't require you to speak for others to understand. How can I allow others to sleep peacefully beside my bed?"

Qin Zheng's expression changed. He never expected that Lin Chen, who looked so young, could see this so clearly.

That's incredibly clear-headed!
Qin Zheng could swear that he would make Lin Chen equal to him in status, allowing him to enjoy all the resources, all the techniques, and everything else. But if Lin Chen didn't have the strength to achieve that when Qin Zheng reached a certain level, wouldn't it arouse curiosity if he were to sit on equal footing with Qin Zheng?
Once everyone finds out that everything Lin Chen possesses is because he let Qin Zheng go and then threatened Qin Zheng to obtain it, what will these people do?
Would they be willing to eliminate Lin Chen, this "harmful threat to our emperor," for the sake of their emperor?

This was absolutely not at Qin Zheng's behest!
Qin Zheng absolutely did not say he wanted to get rid of Lin Chen!

Human nature, haha!
If someone gets rid of Lin Chen, how do you think Qin Zheng will treat that person?
Qin Zheng's face immediately turned ashen: "Then name your conditions. As long as I can do it, I'll agree to anything!"

Lin Chen smiled slightly: "I'll say it again: submit to me and become my servant. Are you willing?"

Qin Zheng's expression shifted, and he hesitated.

Lin Chen waved his hand with a flourish: "Senior, he's yours. I only have one request: you have to finish him off. Otherwise, if he comes back to life, you'll be the first one to die!"

Qin Zheng shouted, "I agree, I agree, isn't that enough? I'm willing to serve you as my master and obey your commands. I'll entrust my life to you. Is that alright?"

Lin Chen grinned and said, "I'm a man of my word. I promised you, so I have to refuse. So... have a safe journey!"

As Lin Chen spoke, the giant dragon head pounced and bit Qin Zheng down hard.
