The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2120 Chase! The big fat sheep has escaped!
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Chen and the other four were getting restless at the mine.

Xiao Shubo was just too lucky!
In just three days, the five people dug up a total of about eighty Ink Immortal Crystals. If you calculate carefully, that's more than five Ink Immortal Crystals per person per day!
On average, all the adventurers mining here probably earn about one yuan a day, while Lin Chen and his group earn five times as much as everyone else!
That's not the most infuriating thing. The most infuriating thing is that everyone clearly felt that they were incredibly lucky!

These people were very envious of Lin Chen and the other four digging away. So they used their powerful sect strength to push the five away. But the five of them moved to another place and continued to dig away. The people who occupied their place stopped producing any goods!

Wherever they go, the goods are shipped out!
At first, although everyone was a little envious, they were still able to restrain themselves. But after three days, watching Lin Chen and the others digging away, these people were starting to lose their enviousness.

Around noon, a disciple from a sect tried to pick a fight, but Xiao Shubo swallowed his anger and let the other party talk without saying a word in response. Unable to find a reason to attack, the other party had no choice but to leave in a huff under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Lin Chen noticed that when this sect disciple provoked them, several other sect disciples with stronger abilities were eager to try their luck. Clearly, they had already regarded them as easy prey.

Previously, the sheep were not fat enough, so everyone wanted to wait before slaughtering them. Now that the sheep are fat enough, some people can't resist anymore.

What if someone else makes the first move before I do?
There are no top-tier sects like the Five Directions Immortal Sect here that have absolute authority. There are several sects that are quite powerful, but it's not fair to say that one is superior to another, or that whoever gets it first will definitely get it.

"We can't stay any longer, otherwise we won't have a chance to leave."

Xiao Shubo glanced around coldly and said in a deep voice, "They can't hold back any longer."

Lin Chen nodded: "Alright, we've dug quite a bit already, it's about time we left. There are countless opportunities here, it feels like a waste of time to just hide here and mine."

Xiao Shubo stared at Lin Chen and asked again, "If I give you all the Ink Immortal Crystals, can you really escape?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Don't worry, there's absolutely no problem. I'm good at escaping."

Xiao Shubo stopped wasting words and said in a deep voice, "Alright, then I'll have to trouble you. After you escape, you'll take 40%."

Looking at the straightforward group, Lin Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, I have another option. First, I have a magic treasure that can put all of you inside and help me escape. However, this would put your lives in my hands. If something happens to me, you will probably suffer as well."

"Secondly, I'll leave with the goods, and then you can find another opportunity to leave. As long as they see the Ink Immortal Crystal is in my hands, no one should cause you any trouble, since the goods are with me..."

Xiao Shubo and the others exchanged glances, their expressions slightly hesitant.

Hong Guiling glanced at Lin Chen, then avoided his gaze and whispered, "How about we leave on our own?"

Although Xiao Shubo and the others did not express their opinions, it was clear that they thought the same thing.

Clearly, they felt Lin Chen's escape was too dangerous, and following him would likely bring them misfortune, so they preferred to control their own destiny. Besides, Lin Chen's words made sense; as long as the items weren't with them, who would bother them?

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Okay, I understand. Be careful, everyone. We'll meet again later."

Xiao Shubo looked slightly ashamed. Lin Chen had spoken up for him before and told him the truth about his junior sister's death, but at this moment he could not choose to believe Lin Chen.

Lin Chen took out the Whirlwind Flag, waved it in the wind, and shrouded it over the unconscious boy, instantly sucking him into the Whirlwind Flag.

The exquisite tower is certainly better, but he won't reveal it.

In fact, as long as they trusted him, Lin Chen could have safely led them away without any mishaps. But since others didn't trust him, Lin Chen naturally wouldn't presume to believe them.

No one noticed that as the whirlwind flag swallowed the boy, the boy's hand moved slightly, leaving a mark on the flag.

Lin Chen put away the whirlwind flag and laughed, "Alright, come outside, give me the things, and just make up some excuse to sever ties with us."

As soon as they stepped outside, a multitude of eyes turned to them.

Xiao Shubo suddenly shouted angrily, "Yes, you saved our lives before, so we can give you these Ink Immortal Crystals, but can you take them with you?"

Lin Chen sneered, "Whether I can take it or not is my business. Whether you give it to me or not is your business. So, just tell me whether you'll give it to me or not?"

Xiao Shubo said angrily, "Fine, here you go, but remember, we no longer owe you any favors."

Lin Chen replied curtly, "Okay!"

Xiao Shubo took out all the Ink Immortal Crystals from his spatial ring and handed them to Lin Chen in full view of everyone. He angrily pointed to the surrounding crowd of menacing people and said, "Let's see how you leave now."

Lin Chen neatly put away the Ink Immortal Crystal, sneered, and without replying, his body soared into the air, instantly transforming into a golden light and disappearing into the distance.

At the same instant, several figures rose up from the camp and chased after Lin Chen.
