The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1036 These bandits are getting interesting!

"To be honest, I've never seen King Kong before, but judging from your aura, I believe you."

Lin Chen took out his spatial ring and tossed it to Yelü Yuan: "This is the peace fee for Xingyuan City. Please count it."

Yelü Yuan took the spatial ring and handed it to a tall, thin man next to him: "Strategist, take a look."

military adviser?

I've heard that some bandits in mountain strongholds like to have strategists in charge, who can advise on the development of the stronghold and various operations. I never thought that these bandits who roam around robbing people everywhere would also have a strategist.

Having a strategist, does that mean that the bandit king Yelü Yuan is just a muscle-bound warrior with extremely strong fighting power but a simple mind?

The tall, thin man scanned the space inside the ring with his divine sense, paused briefly, and then looked up: "The number is correct."

Yelü Yuan laughed and asked, "Is there enough black mystic stone to refine one essence pearl?"

The tall, thin man smiled and put away the spatial ring, replying, "We're still a few hundred short, but we can manage with that. It's not a big problem."

The peace fee and the black stones paid were not in the hands of the bandit king Yelü Yuan, but were collected and handed over to the tall, thin man.

I just don't know how strong this man is, or whether he's easy to deal with.

Yelü Yuan turned around and looked at Lin Chen, who was standing there curiously looking around: "You've seen the person, you've given them the things, aren't you leaving?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "After hearing your story, I became very curious about what the Eight Great Kings who traverse the Central Divine Continent are like. Now that I've finally met them, I naturally want to see more... Are you leaving here?"

He Qianshan replied, "Now that the mission is complete, it's time to leave. We can't stay in this lousy place forever."

Lin Chen said with a slight sense of annoyance, "I've been flying for half a day and only said two sentences. That's too fast."

Yelü Yuan looked at him with a hint of curiosity: "You're a bit strange, kid. We robbed your city, don't you hate us?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "These were collected by wealthy families in the city. They have nothing to do with me. I didn't lose anything."

Yelü Yuan asked curiously, "You are the city lord, so isn't everything in the city yours? These things are like taking them from your bag into mine..."

Lin Chen shook his head: "I was just passing through Xingyuan City. I killed the Green Wolf Demon because I couldn't stand the demon race oppressing my human race. I have no interest in being the city lord. And even though I am now the city lord, I have never taken anything from them, nor have I ever intended to get anything from them."

Yelü Yuan's eyes lit up and he asked, "Do you also hate the demon race?"

Lin Chen answered frankly, "I have no prejudice against ordinary, law-abiding demons. I neither like nor hate them. But those who eat and harm people, I will kill them one by one." Yelü Yuan laughed loudly, "You are too kind. In my opinion, all demons in the world can be killed. There is not one who does not eat people. As long as they are all killed, there will naturally be no more demons harming my human race."

Lin Chen shrugged: "That's true, but for tens of thousands of years, the human race and the demon race have been fighting each other, and neither of them has ever wiped out the other."

Yelü Yuan reached out and rubbed his bald head: "You're an interesting kid. Which sect are you a disciple of?"

Lin Chen casually made up a story: "The Eastern Peak Immortal Beast Sect. But they didn't stay in the sect for many years. They had some conflicts and have been wandering outside for many years."

The tall, thin man asked, "Beast taming?"

Lin Chen lifted his robe, revealing two beast-taming pouches underneath: "If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have been able to defeat the Azure Wolf Demon..."

Yelü Yuan laughed loudly, "Haha, you're only at the Nascent Soul stage, yet you dare to attack a demon race member at the True Body stage. You're a real man. Strategist, give him everything except the Black Profound Stone... how about that?"

The tall, thin man showed a helpless expression, took out the spatial ring, retrieved the three hundred black mystic stones, and then threw the ring back to Lin Chen.

He Qianshan laughed heartily: "I was right! Boss, you got a huge discount!"

Lin Chen caught the ring, his expression one of surprise, and it wasn't an act; he was genuinely surprised.

This is supposed to be a bandit king, yet he's so... generous?
"Why is this so embarrassing?"

Lin Chen asked curiously, "You've returned everything to me, so what about all your brothers...?"

Yelü Yuan waved his hand generously: "Not every city lord dares to kill demons beyond their level, and not every city lord would dare to meet me after hearing the name of the Bandit King. You may not be very strong, but you have courage. I admire you. Let's just be friends."

"We robbers, when we get rich we eat and drink to our hearts' content, when we don't get rich we tighten our belts and live frugally, you get used to it."

Lin Chen genuinely found these robbers rather interesting; they seemed quite different from the image he had imagined of them as ruthless killers who conquered cities and plundered every inch of land.

Lin Chen asked, "Where are you going now? To continue robbing people?"

Yelü Yuan laughed loudly: "If bandits don't rob, what are they supposed to do? I've heard that many cities in the southeast have fallen into the hands of the demon race. This can't be tolerated. I have to go and slaughter them and make a fortune!"

Lin Chen's eyes lit up: "I'm very interested too, can I come along?"
