The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2269 So, does this mean he can't live without you?

"This sword is suppressing me, I can't leave. Can you try to move this sword and let me out?"

Lin Chen's eyes widened in shock: "Senior, aren't you overestimating me? With my strength, how could I possibly move this sword even an inch?"

Red Calamity said, "Who told you to move this sword? If you can move it, do you think it can still suppress me?"

Lin Chen asked, puzzled, "Then what should I do?"

Chizai explained, "This sword has a sword talisman left by that person, which is what drives this sword. If you can unlock the sword talisman, without the sword talisman driving this sword, I will be able to break free from the sword's suppression and escape."

Lin Chen's expression was slightly strange; this scene seemed somewhat familiar.

The suppressed powerful figures are bound by talismans. Once the talismans are removed, the suppressed figures can break free and regain their lawless abilities.

Where is the sword talisman?

"It's right on the sword."

Red Calamity replied, "Normally this sword talisman won't appear, but as long as I struggle, the sword talisman will appear and drive this sword to suppress me. If I move, you'll be able to see it."

Lin Chen didn't rush to move, but instead asked, "The sword master is so powerful, how could a mere celestial being like me possibly unravel his sword talisman? I'm afraid that before I even get close, the sword talisman might just kill me."

Chi Zai explained, "He only wanted to suppress me, not kill me. Otherwise, he would have just killed me in the first place. Why bother with all this effort? As for the sword talisman, according to him, anyone who can understand the sword talisman can unlock it, and anyone who can't understand it can't unlock it. Go and try it, and see if you can unlock it."

Lin Chen nodded, but his body remained still: "Senior, I can try to save you, but what are the benefits? Also, if I accidentally break this sword talisman and you really get free, what will I do if you repay kindness with enmity and slap me to death?"

Chi Zai grew impatient with Lin Chen's composure and angrily said, "I can slap you to death right now, believe it or not?"

"letter."

Lin Chen smiled and replied, "But if you kill me now, there will be no one to deal with the sword talisman for you. Of course, there are still three people above you, and they can even recruit more people, but whether they want to help you deal with the sword talisman or deal with you is another question."

Chizai was amused by Lin Chen's words: "You mean, it has to be you?" Lin Chen smiled and said: "I've always been lucky, who can say for sure?"

Red Calamity sneered, "Speak, what do you want?"

Lin Chen said matter-of-factly, "How about we make a contract? Don't worry, it's not a master-servant contract, it's a friendship contract. You can never hurt me. Also, I came to save you, so you have to give me something in return, right?"

Red Calamity laughed loudly: "You want to sign a friendship contract with me?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Are you trying to say that I'm not worthy? Hey, senior, you're being shallow. Let's not even talk about making friends based on sincerity, not status or strength. Besides, I'm just making sure you won't do anything to harm me. I'm so weak, and we were complete strangers before today. It's perfectly reasonable for me to be thorough, isn't it?"

Chizai fell silent for a moment, it was unclear whether he was angered by Lin Chen's words or simply indignant.

He had probably never in his entire life been so bluntly threatened by a celestial being to sign a friendship contract; today was truly an eye-opener for him.

"Get out! Bring those men outside in!"

Lin Chen's expression remained unchanged as he turned and left, saying, "Alright, wait a moment, I'll go out and call them right away."

Just as Lin Chen took flight and began to ascend, a tremendous suction force instantly appeared in the surrounding space, enveloping Lin Chen within the water-repelling pearl, and pulled him back to the seabed.

"I can form a contract with you, but if you can't break the sword talisman, wouldn't I be at a loss?"

Lin Chen opened his eyes wide and said loudly, "How can you say I lost out? What did I gain from you? Even if I can't undo the sword talisman, you're still being suppressed here, no different from before. You didn't suffer any more injuries or hardships. If you really want to say that I worked hard, I deserve credit even if I didn't get any credit. I'm the one who suffered the most, okay?"

"Besides, even if I really drag you out, I won't benefit from it. The friendship contract at most stipulates that we can't hurt each other, but it doesn't ask you to do anything. So I'm the one who really suffers. How about you get an advance on your payment, it can be a little less, just consider it a deposit. When people hire someone to do the work, even if they don't pay upfront, they'll still give some deposit first."

Chi Zai was furious with Lin Chen. This kid was really pushing his luck. He hadn't even glanced at the sword talisman, hadn't done a single day of work, and was already asking for this and that, speaking with great conviction, and what's more, he seemed to have a lot of sense.

He couldn't refute it!
Crimson Calamity took a couple of breaths before saying, "Tell me, what do you want? I'll tell you. As a Starry Sky Beast, my body is my greatest asset and my greatest fighting strength, unlike you human cultivators who like to collect all sorts of good things..."
