The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2917 You've never even seen a demon before, and you're trying to act tough in front of me?

Manager Chen became agitated and shouted angrily, "Where have I slandered the Zhou family? Don't talk nonsense!"

Lin Chen turned to Zhou Daocang and asked, "Sect Master Zhou, may I ask who Senior Zhou on the Immortal God Stele is to you?"

Zhou Daocang felt a surge of anger in his eyes as Lin Chen stared at him.

what do you mean?
Are you checking household registration?

He really wanted to reprimand Lin Chen directly for bullying others, but with more and more people watching, he hesitated.

If word gets out and the Zhou family's reputation is ruined because of me, I'm afraid my elders will skin me alive!

Zhou Daocang gritted his teeth and said, "Great-grandfather!"

Lin Chen asked, "Have you ever participated in the war between immortals and demons, personally slaying demons and making meritorious contributions?"

Zhou Daocang's expression changed drastically. He roughly knew what Lin Chen wanted to say, but the initiative in the conversation was now entirely in Lin Chen's hands. His momentum had been completely suppressed by Lin Chen's righteous and indignant words.

He gritted his teeth and replied, "I wasn't even born during the last war between immortals and demons... But this time, I've been there, and I will certainly do my utmost to emulate my great-grandfather in resisting the demon invasion..."

"Then there isn't any!"

Lin Chen interrupted his righteous statement by speaking directly: "Although I am new here and do not know what merits Senior Zhou has made, his inclusion on the Immortal God Stele is enough to prove everything!"

"If it were Senior Zhou coming to collect supplies today, and he didn't need to cut in line, I would definitely give up my spot and respectfully let him go first, as a sign of respect. After all, the people I admire most in my life are these heroes who risk their lives for others!"

Lin Chen hadn't finished speaking when Zhou Daocang's face turned bright red, his eyes filled with undisguised anger, because he knew what Lin Chen was about to say.

Lin Chen stared at Zhou Daocang and said coldly, "You've never even seen a demon, and you haven't accomplished anything. What qualifications or face do you have to cut in line?"

"Is it because Senior Zhou is your great-grandfather that you can use his name without restraint and enjoy all sorts of privileges?"

Zhou Daocang was enraged and glared at him, saying, "I've never seen a demon, but have you?"

"Yes, I've seen it!"

Lin Chen stared calmly at Zhou Daocang: "I've not only seen them, I've killed at least several hundred!"

As soon as Lin Chen said this, everyone's eyes fell on Lin Chen's face, and they were all shocked.

The buzzing of conversations around them suddenly stopped.

An eerie silence pervaded the entire courtyard.

Manager Chen suddenly turned around, staring at Lin Chen in shock, his face filled with disbelief. He had killed a demon?
Hundreds?
true or false?

He looks very young!

Zhou Daocang's expression changed drastically, his face also filled with disbelief: "Impossible! This is impossible! Judging from your appearance, you're not very old. The last war between immortals and demons was so long ago, how could you possibly have been involved?"

Lin Chen sneered: "When did I say that I was a demon I killed in the last war between immortals and demons?"

Zhou Daocang laughed heartily, seemingly having caught a loophole in Lin Chen's words: "The realms of immortals and demons are separated. Apart from the war between immortals and demons, where else would you encounter demons? Are you saying that the demons secretly crossed the immortal-demon passage and ran to another place, where you encountered them and then killed them?"

"Yup!"

A faint smile appeared on Lin Chen's face: "You're right, that's exactly it."

Zhou Daocang scoffed, "Sect Master Lin, even if you're going to make up a story, please do it properly. If there really were hundreds of demons, how could the War God's Mansion not know about such a big event? Besides, what kind of strength do you have? You can't even make up a story by yourself."

Lin Chen looked at Zhou Daocang and smiled slightly: "How do you know that the War God's Mansion doesn't know about this?"

Zhou Daocang's mocking expression suddenly froze.

"Does the War God's Mansion know about this?"

Lin Chen said calmly, "You don't know about this matter. Is it possible that your position in the Zhou family and the War God's Mansion isn't as important as you think?"

Lin Chen's words were like a resounding slap across Zhou Daocang's face, causing Zhou Daocang's face to turn bright red.

What are you pretending for in front of me?

You didn't know about something this big? Are you really that amazing?

If you were truly of high status and truly capable, you would know about this matter.

Zhou Daocang glared at Lin Chen through gritted teeth: "Who exactly are you?"

Zhou Daocang's question was clearly not about Lin Chen's name, but rather about Lin Chen's origins and background.

Lin Chen stared calmly at Zhou Daocang: "I have only been in office for a few days, but I have been appointed as the sect leader for several years. The reason is that I killed hundreds of demons and thwarted their smuggling plan, which earned me military merit and the appointment."

After a pause, Lin Chen casually added, "Oh, by the way, my position as sect leader was personally appointed by the hall master..."
