The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2971 Are you guys putting on a show here?
"it's me."

Lin Chen stared coldly at Zhao Hanguang: "Aren't you surprised to see that I'm still alive?"

At this point, any attempt to argue was pointless. Zhao Hanguang asked, "Where are my second and fifth children?"

Two people floated up behind Lin Chen; they were the two members of the Zhao family who had been blasted by the Immortal Meteor Bullet and were covered in blood and in a terrible state.

Zhao Hanguang's heart sank completely into the abyss, and his last shred of hope was shattered.

Zhao Hanguang cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, I admit that I underestimated your strength. The Zhao family will admit defeat in this matter. Please state your terms, Fellow Daoist Lin. I will do anything that belongs to the Zhao family. However, please release my second son and fifth son."

Lin Chen laughed loudly: "Is this how your aristocratic families behave? You kill people whenever you want, and when you fail, you come to negotiate terms and walk away unscathed. Don't you think you've taken all the benefits in the world?"

Zhao Hanguang said straightforwardly, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. This matter was indeed handled by my Zhao family, but my Zhao family has no grudge against Fellow Daoist Lin. Ultimately, it was all assigned by Zhou Daocang of the Zhou family."

"Although Fellow Daoist Lin has not been in the Crimson Immortal Realm for long, he should know about the Immortal God Stele and the Zhou family's background. They are definitely not people our Zhao family can afford to offend. We have no choice but to agree to whatever they ask for, otherwise we will offend them and make enemies."

“Our Zhao family is nothing more than a stick in Zhou Daocang’s hand. Now that the stick is broken, even if Fellow Daoist Lin wants to chop it up and burn it, the Zhao family is gone. As long as the Zhou family still exists, the Wang family, the Li family, and the Chen family will continue to serve them. Nothing will change. It would be better if Fellow Daoist Lin were magnanimous and showed leniency. Our Zhao family is willing to pay the price to atone for our sins.”

When Zhao Hanguang said this, all the Zhao family disciples were stunned.

The Zhao family was ordered by the Zhou family disciples to assassinate Lin Chen, but the assassination failed and the Zhou family captured him and came to question him.
Seeing the powerful demons suppressing all directions, the Zhao family disciples immediately panicked.

They have always been proud of the Zhao family disciples. They may not be arrogant or domineering, but they certainly consider themselves superior. However, they have suddenly realized that the Zhao family is not as powerful as they had imagined.

The usually aloof and dignified patriarch of the Zhao family bowed and humbly begged for forgiveness from a young man.
A young man leaped out and shouted, "Ancestor, why beg for mercy from him? He is a soldier of the War God's Mansion. Uncle Tie, Uncle Feng, and Uncle Shan Hua all serve in the War God's Mansion and are not higher in rank than him. How dare he defy his superiors and bully my Zhao family?"

After a pause, the young man looked up at Lin Chen and said, "Our Zhao family can admit defeat, but don't be so aggressive. Even if you have so many powerful demons at your disposal, don't forget your place. Otherwise, you'll be in for a world of trouble when you get back!"

Lin Chen's gaze fell on the young man, and he said calmly, "The three people you mentioned, whose positions are unknown, may I ask them about them?"

The young man raised his head and sneered, "My Uncle Tie is the captain of the Second Legion, commanding a force of tens of thousands of soldiers. Uncle Feng is the captain of the Fourth Legion and the head of a sect. My Uncle Shan Hua is the group leader in the Ascension Hall. He is a high-ranking officer in the core department, holding a high position and great power!"

Lin Chen took a breath, his tone growing increasingly cold: "Zhao Shanhua, the group leader in the Ascension Hall, right?"

The young man said loudly, "Yes! If you want to mess with our Zhao family, you'd better think twice. Besides, our ancestor said that we're not attacking you because we have a grudge against you, but because the Zhou family wants to attack you. If you're so capable, go find the Zhou family. What are you doing showing off here?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hanguang turned around and shouted, "Shut up!"

After stopping the young man from speaking, Zhao Hanguang cupped his hands again and said apologetically, "This junior spoke nonsense. Please forgive me, Fellow Daoist Lin, for being so magnanimous..."

Lin Chen smiled.

Are you two putting on a show? You old man can't say these things out loud, so this junior jumps out to be your mouthpiece. After he's finished speaking, you pretend to scold him a couple of times and ask for his forgiveness. In reality, you're telling me that our Zhao family has connections in the War God's Mansion, and if you want to mess with us, you'd better think twice!
Even if you have dozens of powerful demons at your disposal, you are just a squad leader here.

You're someone no one can mess with!
Even if you dare to provoke us, what about the Zhou family?
If you want revenge, go find the Zhou family. What are you showing off your skills to me?

As Zhao Hanguang watched Lin Chen laugh, a sense of unease suddenly welled up in his heart.

Is this guy refusing to listen to what I'm saying and going to do something reckless?
Lin Chen glanced at Zhao Hanguang, then at the young man who had spoken, and chuckled, "You've misunderstood something..."

Zhao Hanguang's heart sank: "What is it?"

Lin Chen replied, "I'm not only not magnanimous, but I'm also petty and vindictive!"

Lin Chen turned his head, looked at the young man who had spoken, and calmly said, "You speak very arrogantly. Be more careful next time!"

The young man's expression changed drastically, and he was about to retreat, but before he could move, a blazing fire suddenly appeared in front of him.

The blazing true fire of the sun instantly enveloped him. This young man's strength wasn't even that of a Great Luo Immortal; how could he withstand the true fire of the sun released by Lin Chen?
As soon as the sun blazed down, he was like butter in the flames, melting instantly and turning to ashes.

This scene unfolded before the eyes of all members of the Zhao family. For a moment, everyone's eyes were filled with horror. When they looked at the smiling young man in front of them, it was as if they were looking at a devil crawling out of hell.

Zhao Hanguang was also surprised by Lin Chen's sudden attack. Even more surprising was that Lin Chen did nothing but glance at the disciple, and the disciple was instantly engulfed by the True Fire of the Sun and disappeared. Even if he wanted to save him, he had no way to do so.

He died too quickly, who could have saved him!

Zhao Hanguang gritted his teeth, his face ashen: "Fellow Daoist Lin, you captured Pingyang, Seventh Brother died at your hands, and Second Brother and Fifth Brother are seriously injured. What else do you want? Tell me all of this."

Lin Chen looked at Zhao Hanguang, whose face was full of indignation, and said in surprise, "Oh dear, are you angry? You guys came to kill me once or twice, and I haven't even done anything yet. Why do you look like you've been wronged, as if I've done something really bad..."

Zhao Hanguang gritted his teeth. He was deliberately putting on this act to make the other party feel that he had paid a heavy price, hoping that they would give him a way out and he would back down. However, from Lin Chen's sarcastic words, it was clear that he not only saw through his actions, but also that the other party didn't care at all.

Zhao Hanguang lowered his head, cupped his hands, and said, "The Zhao family has nothing to say. Whatever Fellow Daoist Lin wants, please state your conditions, and the Zhao family will comply without hesitation!"

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly: "I have no conditions. I'm here only to do one thing."

Zhao Hanguang suddenly looked up: "What is it?"

Lin Chen said coldly, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!"
