The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2882 Your life is your own, and the path you choose is your own.
"Although your lives are in my hands, in my eyes you are not my slaves, but my soldiers."

Lin Chen said calmly, "Those who make mistakes will be punished, and those who make merits will be rewarded. As long as you obey orders and fight bravely, you will be meritorious. I will reward you according to the size of your merits. If you make a great contribution, I can return its freedom!"

Upon hearing this, the great demons who had just lowered their heads all raised them instantly, their faces filled with disbelief.

what did he say?
Return freedom?

A five-clawed black dragon was the first to express its disbelief: "Are you lying to us? Our true souls are in your hands, and your life and death are entirely up to you. How could you bear to let us leave?"

The other powerful demons chimed in, "The Thousand Demon Lord expended a great deal of effort to subdue us. Even though he is a quasi-saint with great strength, his need for us is not that great, and he never intended to let us leave. So what about you? Are you just making empty promises to us and asking us to risk our lives for you?"

"Really? Can someone really be that kind?"

Lin Chen frowned and shouted, "Quiet!"

All the great demons immediately shut up. They grumbled and disbelieved, but none of them dared to confront Lin Chen directly. After all, Lin Chen could annihilate them with a mere thought.

Who allowed their true souls to be inside the demon-summoning banner?

Lin Chen said calmly, "I have said that I need you, but not in a particularly big way, because this Quasi-Saint senior will always be by my side, so your existence is not as important as you think."

"You can choose to fight with all your might for a chance to be free, or you can choose to drift along, cheat and slack off, be enslaved by me for the rest of your life, or even be killed by me at will."

"Your life is your own, and you choose your own path. I will not swear an oath, nor will I beg you to believe me. Believe if you want, just don't be envious when you see others regain their freedom in the future."

That's all I have to say. Let's call it a day!

The great demons dispersed with puzzled looks, each searching for their preferred dwelling place in this empty world.

Although they didn't quite accept Lin Chen as their new master, they were all quite unhappy because there were too many powerful demons around the Thousand Demon Lord, and they had to squeeze together. Given their strong personalities, there were frequent conflicts. Now that they had changed to such a living environment, many of the powerful demons liked it.

Finally, I don't have to go out to see a few annoying guys! From this perspective, my situation has improved.

They were skeptical of Lin Chen's promise to restore their freedom, but before, when they were with the Thousand Demon Lord, they were not only confined to a very small area, but also had nothing to do all day long. After all, the Thousand Demon Lord was a quasi-saint, so who would be so foolish as to cause trouble for a quasi-saint?
Even if someone really comes to cause trouble for the Thousand Demon Lord, it only means that the other party's strength is no less than that of the Thousand Demon Lord, and they must have a way to deal with the Thousand Demon Legion, just like the man in black robes, who came prepared.

Under such circumstances, regardless of whether the Thousand Demon Lord wins or loses, they are the ones who fight desperately and suffer losses and injuries. They may receive some rewards, but they will never gain freedom.

Lin Chen is different. Because of his weaker strength, he won't encounter enemies who are all quasi-saints. There will be more opportunities for everyone to fight, more opportunities to make contributions, and more opportunities to release their fighting spirit. They can get rewards and even gain freedom.

Some powerful demons were unwilling to be ruled by a weakling and felt resentful, but some clever demons, after careful consideration and comparison, realized that this was a good thing!
I am afraid of comparison in everything!
Putting everything else aside, there are now more opportunities to fight!

If given the chance, I will definitely perform well and might become one of the first great demons to regain their freedom. After all, Lin Chen said so, and in order to convince all the great demons, he will definitely do so.

If you work hard, you might be one of the first lucky ones!

Who would willingly have their life controlled by others and be unable to control their own destiny if they could be free?

Lin Chen didn't care what these powerful demons thought. As he had just said, he wouldn't mind releasing those who had truly worked hard for him and made great contributions, since there were so many of them anyway.

Although he obtained the Demon Summoning Banner, Lin Chen only regarded it as an aid. While the "Summoner" was powerful, Lin Chen preferred to be powerful on his own!

The Thousand Demon Lord was tricked and his Demon God Banner was stolen, leaving him severely weakened. Lin Chen didn't want to repeat the same mistake.

Lin Chen released a clone to travel, while he himself stayed in the Linglong Tower, making the most of every second to cultivate using the Divine Jade Marrow Milk.

With the rare and precious natural treasure, Lin Chen's long-dormant strength began to improve rapidly once again...
