The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1578 Do you really think we don't kill people?

Cuihong glared at Lin Chen, who was mocking her, and said coldly, "I originally only wanted some money, but now I want your life!"

Kill this guy, and then no one will know about his shameful deeds!
Lin Chen smiled and reached out to stop the furious Cui Hong: "You should heal your injuries first. There will be plenty of time to fight later. Let me ask you a few questions first."

Liu Yuqi found it rather strange. Lin Chen was only at the early stage of Earth Immortal, so why wasn't he in a hurry at all?

Do you really think that just because the two of you are after money, you won't kill anyone?
"What do you want to ask?"

Lin Chen asked, "How did you see that I was only at the early stage of Earth Immortal?"

Liu Yuqi replied, "I have a magic weapon that can detect the strength of an opponent. The lower the opponent's strength, the more accurate the detection. The stronger the opponent, the greater the fluctuation in the result, but the general range can be determined."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up: "This is a good thing!"

Liu Yuqi nodded: "Yes, this magic weapon allows me to avoid dangerous people who are pretending to be weak when choosing targets. Even if I encounter a powerful one, I will not act rashly because I do not know their background."

Lin Chen nodded with satisfaction: "Second question, what is this 'Ruyi Ring' you mentioned earlier?"

Liu Yuqi replied, "It is a flexible runic metal ring that can be made large or small. It can be manipulated to change size at will with the help of magic. Moreover, it is made of extremely tough Snow Cloud Black Iron, which can withstand enormous force without breaking."

Lin Chen blinked and instantly understood the purpose of the Ruyi Ring.

"Use the Ruyi Ring to trap the monster's vital points, and use a magic incantation to control the ring's contraction, thereby forcing the monster to obey?"

Liu Yuqi replied, "Yes."

Lin Chen thought for a moment and asked, "High-level demonic beasts are very intelligent and can understand human speech. Could it secretly find an opportunity to ask someone else to help it remove the Ruyi Ring?"

Liu Yuqi replied, "A high-level weapon refiner can connect the Ruyi Ring with an explosive magic weapon. The explosive magic weapon is located inside the neck of the demon beast. Once it is forcibly removed, or if the master detonates it with a spell, the explosive magic weapon can explode instantly, directly severing the demon beast's neck."

"Once a monster is tethered, how can it possibly outwit a human? It can only obediently follow orders and fight to the death. As for those that disobey and refuse to cooperate, they die on the spot."

"The more mature a beast becomes, the more powerful, wild, and untamed it becomes, as well as the more arrogant and difficult it is to subdue. However, if it wears the Ruyi Ring when it is still a cub, it will gradually get used to it as it grows up."

Lin Chen nodded. Isn't this the method of taming beasts in the human world?

If a wild animal is whipped and trained when it is young, over time, even when it grows up and possesses ferocious power, it will still docilely submit to that thin whip.

Lin Chen asked again, "Judging from your tone, you don't intend to keep it, but to sell it?" Liu Yuqi nodded, "We are not suitable to keep it. We are only in it for money, so we will sell it. Someone will offer a high price for it."

Lin Chen nodded: "So you're saying you're a combination of swindlers and robbers, stealing if you can, and robbing if you can't steal?"

Liu Yuqi frankly admitted, "I guess so. But after we select a target, we will find a reason to get close to them. If they treat us politely, we usually drug them, take the spatial ring, and leave. If they make unwanted advances or have ulterior motives, we will kill them and take everything from them."

Lin Chen finally understood. These two female swindlers used their magical artifacts to assess the strength of their targets, selected those they could easily take advantage of, and then determined whether to steal their goods or kill them to rob them, based on the other party's attitude.

In short, they always chose those weaker than them, and regardless of whether they turned against each other, they were in a position to win.

Lin Chen spread his hands: "Looks like I'm lucky, so you're only going to take my spatial ring and kidnap Xiao Jin?"

Liu Yuqi replied, "That was the original plan."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "So now, because I've woken up and injured Cuihong, you're planning to kill me?"

Liu Yuqi frowned slightly, Lin Chen's composure puzzled her.

Does this person have some incredible trump card up their sleeve?

Why aren't you panicked at all?
"Hand over your spatial ring and the Golden-Winged Roc, and we won't kill you."

Lin Chen turned his head and looked at Cui Hong: "What about you?"

Cuihong gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with resentment, but after glancing at Liu Yuqi beside her, she finally relented: "Seeing that your sword strike just now wasn't aimed at me, I'll spare your life."

Lin Chen understood: "Sparing my life means that I can escape the death penalty, but I can't escape punishment."

Liu Yuqi said in a deep voice, "You don't seem afraid at all..."

Lin Chen shrugged and laughed, "Whether I'm scared or not, the outcome won't change. Do you think you'll turn around and leave instead of robbing me if I act a little scared?"

Looking at Lin Chen's smiling face, Cui Hong felt that he was mocking them. Her face turned cold: "Behave yourself, or I can kill you with one finger. Hand over your spatial ring, or you'll be sorry!"
