The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2688 Cooperation? Winning is great, but if we can't win, we run away!
The reason Lin Chen dared to take out eight signs was because the other party had projectors on; otherwise, he really wouldn't have dared to take them out, for fear that the other party would try to steal them from him.

The principle of "might makes right" was fully demonstrated at this moment.

When you are less capable than others, they will not give you any respect, but will only ridicule and glare at you. However, when you demonstrate sufficient strength, they will immediately give you enough respect.

Lin Chen didn't hold back and said frankly, "I have a formation called the Eight Desolate Fire Spirit Formation. Its power is astonishing, even a Great Luo Immortal cannot withstand it. As long as I lure them into the formation and activate it, they will be attacked by raging flames."

“If the enemy is small, we can handle them ourselves. But if it’s a team of ten or even twenty people, that’s beyond our limits. They can easily break through our formation.”

“If we join forces, what you need to do is very simple: lie in ambush near the formation beforehand, and after I lure them into the formation and activate it, you can reappear and stand outside the formation to prevent them from rushing out.”

"As long as you can hold them off for a moment, the Eight Desolate Fire Spirit Formation will kill most of them. Even if the rest are stronger, we will have more people and the advantage of the formation, so it won't be difficult to deal with them."

"The plan is simple, focusing on coordination. It shouldn't be too dangerous, since they outnumber us and are eager to kill me. It should be relatively easy for them to fall into the trap..."

Lei Zezong's eyes lit up: "Are your eight plaques obtained by killing barbarians using formations?"

"Five pieces were the direct proceeds, three pieces were obtained from trapping five barbarians, and two escaped..."

Upon hearing this, the man realized that the Eight Desolate Fire Spirit Array had trapped five barbarians, yet the barbarians could only flee in disarray. This alone was enough to demonstrate the power of the Eight Desolate Fire Spirit Array.

He was moved.

If, as Lin Chen said, they could hunt down a 20-man squad, that would essentially wipe out one-tenth of the barbarians—a tremendous victory!

The man readily agreed, "We can cooperate. Who will lure the enemy?"

Lin Chen replied, "Among them, there should be some who escaped before, wanting to kill me for revenge. I'm the most suitable person to lure them in. However, I want half of the spoils, whether it's the tag or other captured items."

The man frowned: "There are three of you, and three of us. You want half? Isn't that too much?"

Lin Chen smiled faintly: "If you can create an array powerful enough to trap so many people, I can ask for less."

The man shook his head: "The formation is important, but without our help, you won't be able to complete the hunt, and you might even be hunted down if you encounter them... How about this, you take one-third, and we'll take two-thirds?"

Lin Chen answered decisively, "Half, otherwise, the cooperation is null and void."

The man frowned and said, "There are so many of us, there aren't enough to go around." Lin Chen laughed and said, "If it weren't for me, none of you would have gotten any. If we hadn't warned you, you would probably be lucky if half of you had escaped."

Seeing Lin Chen's resolute attitude and determination not to back down, the man hesitated for a moment.

Seeing this, Lin Chen didn't press the matter and smiled, "Since we can't reach an agreement, let's part ways here. Consider the previous message given to you, after all, we're all on the same side... Let's go!"

Seeing Lin Chen leaving so decisively, the man knew that if he didn't stop him, the sign he had just acquired would slip away.

Let's just say half is fine. After all, Lin Chen is the one doing the most dangerous things and providing the most powerful tools. We're just playing a supporting role, so getting half isn't a bad deal.

If things go well and they get the sign, there are only three of them. If they act decisively...

With that thought in mind, the man no longer hesitated and readily agreed, "Okay, half it is, we'll do it your way!"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "You made the right choice."

The two teams merged, and Lin Chen and the others learned the man's identity. He was Zhao Tianpeng, the personal disciple of the Lei Ze Sect Master, and the leader of the Lei Ze Sect this time. His strength was at the peak of the Great Luo Immortal realm.

Everyone cautiously approached the central area and then found a suitable spot to bury the Eight Desolate Fire Spirit Array.

Lin Chen placed a life-or-death seal on each of these people and told them to stay hidden and not move.

Although bringing everyone into the Linglong Tower would be the best way to hide his true intentions, the projections are all on now, and Lin Chen doesn't want to reveal his trump card.

These people are not trustworthy either.

Cooperation is fine as it is. If we can win, great. If we can't win, we'll just turn around and run away!

“I’m going to lure them out, which may take some time. You all stay quiet and don’t move. Wait for me to come back. Once the formation is activated, you can come out. Otherwise, if you startle them, the trap will fail, and you’ll be targeted instead. Don’t blame me then.”

Zhao Tianpeng readily agreed: "Okay, I'll do as you say!"
