The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2522 I'll help you find him, but you also have to help me find someone!

"Please feel free to ask any further questions."

After eating two servings of medicinal food, the middle-aged man's pale face regained some color. Perhaps because of Lin Chen's act of giving him the food, the man's tone became less wary and more enthusiastic.

Lin Chen looked at the token, which had an array on it displaying an arc of light. When this arc of light completely disappeared, it meant that time was up.

The middle-aged man ate very quickly, so he still had plenty of time left.

Lin Chen asked, "Why don't you circulate your energy and absorb it first?"

The middle-aged man shook his head: "You ask first."

Seeing that the middle-aged man insisted, Lin Chen stopped being polite and continued the previous topic: "Where do these merchants get the drugs they sell?"

“From outside.”

The middle-aged man explained simply: "Every year, a large number of disciples of the Sea God Cult are captured and thrown into the Kuta Sea for violating the cult's rules. Over time, this place naturally became a business."

"The powerful figures who control this business have all the power and influence. They decide who runs what business and who runs what business. Anyone else who dares to try and take over the business is doomed."

“Their family regularly delivers goods in, then sells them at high prices in this Kuta Sea, earning a large amount of spirit stones and cultivation resources. They then take these things out and give them back to their family, forming a closed loop.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen understood completely.

Indeed, wherever there are people, there is a world of intrigue!

Although this place is a land of exile, it is still controlled by powerful forces within the Sea God Cult who have the ability to intervene and exploit this special area to amass wealth.

It would be difficult for outsiders to obtain such a stable and large-scale supply of materials. Even if someone tried to sneak around and was discovered by these people, would they still have a chance to survive in this land of exile?
Although the rules here prohibit internal fighting, since they are all disciples of the Sea God Cult, who would know if a few people died secretly?
How many people have died under the tide of spiritual energy, died in the deep sea, or died at the hands of sea monsters?
Lin Chen asked simply, "What force is in charge here?"

"The three forces are the Yuwen family and the Wei family, the Huoyun Sect led by Vice Sect Leader Zhao Kun, and the force led by Elder Council Dean Wu Baiyu. Of course, there are more than just these three forces in the Sea God Sect, but in the Kutuo Sea, these three forces dominate this place. They have divided up all the businesses needed by the punished here."

Lin Chen heard the familiar names of the Yuwen and Wei families. These two families were indeed closely connected in every way, like one entity.

What's going on with the Fire Cloud Sect?

The middle-aged man explained, "The Sea God Sect is the sect leader, and many immortal sects have joined the Sea God Sect. They are naturally forces within the Sea God Sect. The Fire Cloud Sect is very powerful, so Zhao Kun eventually became the vice sect leader. With this status, the Fire Cloud Sect naturally flourished even more." Lin Chen nodded, indicating that he understood.

The Sea God Sect is different from the Three Sects of the Eastern Empire. The Three Sects of the Eastern Empire are more like a single immortal sect, but the Sea God Sect is a hodgepodge that integrates many immortal sects. In terms of overall strength, the Sea God Sect definitely includes the most sects, has the most disciples, and the most experts.

However, the Sea God Cult also has its disadvantages, namely that it has too many internal factions, too much infighting, and serious internal friction, making it difficult to demonstrate its truly superior combat power.

Lin Chen asked, "Are there any other islands like Market Island in the Kuta Sea?"

"no!"

The middle-aged man explained, "Although there are several other places, these islands are all very small. Most importantly, they all have people watching over them to prevent anyone from competing with them for business. They concentrate all their business here for easier management."

Lin Chen nodded and finally asked the core question: "I heard that the Holy Son was also thrown here a couple of years ago and was punished to stay here for a hundred years. Are you aware of this?"

"know."

The middle-aged man's expression was somewhat subtle: "His being thrown here was a big deal; the news spread far and wide. But after he came here, he stayed on Market Island for a while, and then he left and never came back."

"With his strength and his reserves of pills and other supplies, he doesn't need to come back here to buy expensive things. Maybe he might in the future, but he'll definitely be fine in this short time."

Lin Chen frowned: "Has anyone seen him there?"

The middle-aged man thought for a moment, then looked up: "Are you just curious, or do you want to find him?"

Lin Chen asked calmly, "Is there a difference?"

The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "I don't know about this. If you're just asking out of curiosity, then you can move on to the next question. But if you're looking for him and are willing to pay the price, then I can try to find out for you."

Lin Chen nodded: "I do need to find him. Someone asked me to bring him something, but I don't want to alert anyone. If you can help me find him, you can name your terms."

The middle-aged man's eyes suddenly lit up: "If I help you find him, can you ask him to help me find someone too?"
