The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2926 Will this petty trick be a death sentence?

"Kong Wenlong is a member of the Kong family, a relative of Kong Yueshen, whose name appears on the Immortal Stele."

Xiong Yaxiong frowned and said, "We knew about this beforehand, is there a problem?"

Chi Ya smiled wryly, "Yes, we do know about this, but when I went to inquire about Chen Quan and the others just now, I learned an unexpected situation..."

Hu Yunlai pressed further, "What's going on?"

Chi Ya replied, "Chen Quan and Kong Wenlong are relatives. Kong Wenlong's sister married Chen Quan's second uncle."

Lin Chen blinked: "Chen Quan's second uncle, which means he has to call Kong Wenlong's sister 'Second Aunt,' and if we follow the way the cousins ​​in the Second Aunt's family address her, then he should call her 'Uncle'..."

The group exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat ambiguous.

After all that, it turns out that his boss was actually Chen Quan's uncle?

A higher rank can crush a person. If Kong Wenlong knew that his nephew had been humiliated and tried to help him get revenge, wouldn't the Haoran Sect be in trouble?

Seeing the three of them looking like they were facing imminent disaster, Lin Chen smiled and comforted them, "Don't worry, they were the ones who provoked us in the first place. We're in the right. Whether Kong Wenlong will stand up for Chen Quan is one thing, but even if he wants to help, he'll have to have a reason. He may be a higher-ranking official, but the First Legion isn't just a member of the Kong family. There's the Legion Commander and the Palace Master above him."

The three suddenly remembered that the sect leader was personally appointed by the palace master, which meant that he had connections. If he encountered unfair treatment or personal vendettas, Lin Chen could directly complain to the palace master and might not necessarily suffer any losses.

Furthermore, as the captain, Kong Wenlong naturally knew that Lin Chen was personally appointed by the Palace Master. Under such circumstances, would he still dare to take the risk of deliberately suppressing him?
The three relaxed slightly, but were still a little worried: "Being targeted by your boss is not a good thing. Even if they don't punish you openly, they can still make things difficult for us within their authority. For example, in battle, they can assign us the most dangerous and difficult tasks, and we can be played to death."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "No need to worry unnecessarily. We'll talk about it when it really comes to that. Don't worry, I'll protect everyone."

Xiong Yaxiong and the others all agreed, but Lin Chen could tell that they probably understood the protection he was talking about as reporting injustices after they encountered them, rather than protection in the true sense of the word.

Lin Chen didn't offer much explanation, because the more cards he revealed, the easier it was for others to target and scheme against him.

Only what is kept secret and unknown to the public can be called a trump card.

For example, Zhen Liuxue, Duan Tian, ​​the Demon-Summoning Banner, the White Jade Token...

"Now that you have received the supplies, you should go back first and convert them into combat power as soon as possible to prepare for any battles that may come at any time." "I will stay here and wait for the Palace Master to return. I may have some personal matters to attend to, which will take some time."

Xiong Yaxiong and Hu Yunlai exchanged a glance, their eyes both falling on Chi Ya.

Chi Ya said, "The two of them go back, and I'll stay. In case the sect leader needs someone to run errands or something, it will be more convenient to have more people around."

Lin Chen knew that they didn't trust him. After all, he was a Great Luo Immortal, and he had offended many people before by receiving supplies. If someone wanted to retaliate, how could he withstand it?
Although Chi Ya's strength is certainly not considered very strong among the top-grade Grand Luo Immortals, she is still more reliable than Lin Chen, a Grand Luo Supreme Immortal.

If something really happens, they can hold out for a while, right?

“Alright, then Hall Master Chi will stay. Hall Master Xiong and Hall Master Hu, you two go back and tell Vice Sect Master Chen to prepare for battle with all your might.”

"Yes!"

Meanwhile, in a mansion somewhere in the city.

"We've found out that the demons used some unknown means to send a vanguard of several hundred demons to the Bitter Sea Immortal Realm. They built an altar and set up a teleportation array in the Bitter Sea Immortal Realm, trying to bring in the demon army, but Lin Chen stumbled upon their plan at the crucial moment."

"Lin Chen killed a demon, disguised himself as a demon and infiltrated the altar, then attacked it with a powerful space bomb, destroying the altar and killing hundreds of demons in the process."

"Most of these demons are weapon refiners and guards, and their strength is not that great. The leader of the demons was a quasi-saint, and he did not die. Then this quasi-saint demon devised a plan to try to salvage the situation, but Lin Chen ran into him again, discovered his whereabouts, and he eventually died under the siege of the Book Sea Pavilion's experts."

"The Book Sea Pavilion was very grateful for Lin Chen's contributions and rewarded him with a large amount of cultivation resources. At the same time, it informed the War God Mansion about this matter. It was also because of this that the Palace Master personally appointed him as the Sect Master of the Vast Ocean Sect."

“He had previously gone to the Temple of War to request an audience with the Temple Master, but the Temple Master was out, so he was unable to see him. This kid is someone who has registered with the Temple Master, no wonder he is so fearless.”

“Yesterday he confronted Manager Chen and Zhou Daocang, who went to collect supplies, and today he stood up and confronted us again. This kid is really stubborn.”

After listening, Chen Quan smiled and said, "No matter how stubborn or arrogant he is, he's still just a squad leader. I just asked, and coincidentally, my uncle happens to be their superior..."
