The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2968 Are you perhaps traitors bribed by the demons?

As the raging storm gradually subsided, Zhen Liuxue's senses swept across the land, instantly pinpointing the location of the three attackers.

"Bring them back!"

The great demons rushed out without the slightest hesitation.

Lin Chen had previously said, "Merit must be rewarded, and fault must be punished," and he truly lived up to that promise. The powerful demons, such as the Black Dragon, who had volunteered to fight for Lin Chen, all received generous rewards.

If they were free, the reward might not be considered very generous, but with their lives hanging in Lin Chen's hands and their fates out of their own hands, Lin Chen still fulfilled his promise.

Since Lin Chen has kept his word, it means that those who perform the best, as long as they have enough merit, will really be given freedom by Lin Chen!
They weren't stupid. Seeing Lin Chen's strength growing stronger every day, and with two Quasi-Saints by his side, when else would they put in their best effort if not now?
Once Lin Chen becomes even stronger, to the point where he hardly needs their help anymore, it won't be so easy for them to earn credit.

To put it realistically, putting in tremendous effort now is like providing timely help in a snowstorm; putting in effort later will only be like adding flowers to brocade.

Just like today, blocking the enormous destructive force of the three Immortal Meteorite Bombs and protecting Lin Chen, who was undergoing tribulation, from being disturbed is definitely a great achievement!
The twenty great demons were extremely grateful to the three unlucky guys who came to cause trouble. If it weren't for their surprise attack, how could they have earned this credit today!

The great demons fought desperately just now, and many of them were injured in the impact of the explosion, but that doesn't matter. Being injured is an even greater achievement!
I have shed blood for my master, I have been wounded for my master!

Soon, the three members of the Zhao family who had launched the sneak attack were in a terrible state. Their clothes were torn, they were covered in blood, and much of their flesh was missing. One of them was even missing half a hand.

They were at the very center of the explosion. Although they managed to survive by working together, they were also seriously injured and had no time to escape. They were captured without any resistance.

Zhen Liuxue didn't deal with them, but just let the great demons watch over them. Then she turned her head and looked at Lin Chen, whose spiritual energy was surging wildly in the sky.

How to deal with them is Lin Chen's business; she only cares about protecting Lin Chen's safety, and nothing else is within her consideration.

Lin Chen absorbed all the spiritual energy in the sky. When the tribulation clouds dispersed and the sunlight once again pierced through the clouds, casting a large golden glow, Lin Chen successfully broke through his cultivation level and officially entered the ranks of the middle-grade Great Luo Immortals, taking another step closer to the peak of the immortal path.

Lin Chen leaped down and landed in front of Zhen Liuxue, smiling slightly as he said, "Senior, you've worked hard!"

Zhen Liuxue smiled slightly: "Your breakthrough was too easy, without any thrills or surprises. It's so easy to watch that it's not exciting at all."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Isn't it good if things go smoothly? Danger means risk, and I don't want any accidents to happen."

Zhen Liuxue gestured with her chin towards the three people behind her: "They're yours." Lin Chen's gaze fell on the three, his eyes turning cold: "Alright, I'll handle it!"

Lin Chen walked up to the three of them and asked calmly, "Tell me, what are your origins?"

The three members of the Zhao family looked horrified. How could things have developed to this point?

It was a situation that seemed like a sure thing, but how did it suddenly turn around? Lin Chen successfully broke through to the next level, while the three of them became prisoners.
Seeing that the three remained silent, Lin Chen calmly said, "Even if you hide it well, you are still Great Luo Immortals, and should be of the upper grade. You are all prominent figures. If I take you back to the War God's Mansion and ask around, someone will surely know."

After a pause, Lin Chen sneered, "This is wartime. I am the captain of the third squad of the ninth battalion of the first legion. I have just rendered great service to the human race, yet you suddenly attempted to assassinate me. I have every reason to suspect that you, and even your entire family, have been bribed by the demons and are acting on their orders to assassinate me..."

Although the three of them were flustered before, they still gritted their teeth and refused to speak. But when Lin Chen said the following words, the three of them panicked immediately.

If they were really labeled as traitors bribed by the demons, then they and their entire family would be doomed!

"We are not traitors!"

"Don't talk nonsense, we haven't been bribed!"

"We just want to kill you, because if we don't, you'll get your revenge sooner or later!"

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow: "Will you get your revenge sooner or later?"

Lin Chen's gaze swept over the three people, then settled on a blood-soaked face.

The face wasn't the one I remembered, but the voice was familiar, and the figure was similar.

Lin Chen asked coldly, "Aren't you the middle-aged man who ambushed and tried to kill me several years ago?"

The man's expression changed slightly. He gritted his teeth but did not deny it, because at this moment, denial would be meaningless.

Lin Chen glanced at the three of them and smiled, "You three are all from the Zhao family. You guessed that Zhao Pingyang falling into my hands would expose your Zhao family, so you decided to make trouble for me sooner or later. You decided to strike first and get rid of me while I'm undergoing my tribulation, so that's the end of it. Is that what you mean?"
