The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 749 If you want to live, kill him.
Not everyone can come up with millions of spirit stones. For example, Liu Ruqing, an elder of the Myriad Manifestations Sect, couldn't even come up with a hundred spirit stones.

The five million spirit stones were clearly a reward that Duan Hao had specially prepared for Wang Jun, and also the price for buying the Snow Dragon Leopard King. Unfortunately, the monster was not bought, and it has now fallen into Lin Chen's hands.

Lin Chen calmly began to examine Wang Jun's spatial ring again.

Wang Jun was a black market merchant, and Lin Chen was full of anticipation for the contents of his spatial ring. After all, a merchant either carries money or goods, so there must be something valuable inside.

What if there's some amazing magic weapon?
After carefully reviewing it, Lin Chen was greatly disappointed.

Apart from a three-million-spirit-stone card and a few magical artifacts and biological items he used, he was completely empty-handed!

Lin Chen put the spirit stone card into his spatial ring, his tone displeased: "You're supposed to be a black market merchant, yet you only carry three million spirit stones. Don't you feel ashamed?"

Wang Jun pleaded, "I came here to buy goods. We usually get our prices quite low. Three million spirit stones are enough to buy a lot of goods. To avoid unnecessary trouble, we won't bring anything that might cause trouble. So, apart from the magic items we use, bringing spirit stones and daily necessities is enough."

“Mr. Lin, please spare me. I am willing to spend another five million spirit stones to redeem my life.”

Lin Chen blinked. Five million spirit stones?
That’s interesting!

Of the two people present, Wang Jun and Duan Hao, Duan Hao had to die. After all, he was of a different status, and if he didn't die, he would cause a lot of trouble for himself.

Besides, he was going to kill me, he had already provoked me, and I had killed his demon beast and taken his beast-taming bag. It had come to this point, so I was bound to kill him to silence him and eliminate him completely.

As for Wang Jun, although he sold himself out and harmed himself, the nature of the crime is different. If he is willing to use spirit stones to redeem his life and the price is high enough, Lin Chen may not be unable to let him go. After all, Lin Chen would not benefit from killing him.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Your life was only worth five million spirit stones, so it seems it's not worth much."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jun's eyes lit up immediately.

Think the price is too low?

Let's talk again then.

Wang Jun wasn't afraid of Lin Chen's high price; what he feared was that Lin Chen wouldn't give him a chance to redeem himself.

Money can be earned back, but if you lose your life, you lose everything!

"Mr. Lin, name your price! How many spirit stones would you want to spare my life?"

Lin Chen casually said, "I'm not greedy. Twenty million spirit stones will do. Isn't that kind of meek?"

Wang Jun's face paled slightly. Twenty million spirit stones—that was a ruthless blow!

Although his business is not small, he has to travel back and forth a lot, and it would take him a long time to earn 20 million spirit stones, which would almost empty his current savings.

This isn't about spending 20 million to buy goods; this is pure loss!

Including the three million confiscated by Lin Chen, the total loss is twenty-three million! A huge sum!

“Mr. Lin, although I don’t want to die, twenty million spirit stones is too much. I can’t come up with that. Although I’m a businessman, I only earn a meager living by running around…”

Lin Chen stared at Wang Jun and smiled, "Can't produce it?"

Wang Jun complained, "I really can't come up with that. How about you reduce the amount?"

Lin Chen chuckled: "Do you think I'm trying to rip you off and make you haggle? Fine, since you can't pay, let's not waste each other's time. Mei Nu, kill him!"

Wang Jun's face turned deathly pale instantly, and he almost reflexively shouted, "Okay, okay, okay! I agree, twenty million it is!"

Lin Chen said coldly, "How much time?"

Wang Jun dared not play any tricks again and carefully calculated: "Twenty million is no small sum. I have to send someone back to my hometown to have my son raise the money and bring it over. It will take at least eight days to go back and forth. Really, Mr. Lin, I'm not lying to you, it really will take that much time..."

Lin Chen stared at Wang Jun for a long time, then suddenly laughed and said, "Alright, eight days it is. Anyway, I've only found one beast-taming bag, and I still need another one. So, I'm afraid you'll have to help me figure out a way. Don't worry, I can buy it myself this time. I should have enough spirit stones now, right?"

You've already robbed eight million spirit stones, how could that not be enough?
Wang Jun felt a pang of pain in his heart, but he quickly agreed, "Okay, Mr. Lin, I will do whatever you ask. I will do whatever you say."

"Mei Nu, release them both."

Mei Nu abandoned the two of them. Lin Chen casually tossed a dagger in front of Wang Jun, then picked up a recording stone for himself.

"If you want to live, kill Duan Hao."

"Either you kill him and you live, or you die with him."

"I'll only give you three minutes."

After Lin Chen finished speaking, he shut his mouth. The recording stone floated up, its light flashing, and began to record the scene before him.

Wang Jun instantly understood Lin Chen's plan.

Lin Chen wanted to release him, but he was afraid that he would betray him and report him to the Immortal Beast Sect, so he wanted him to kill Duan Hao with his own hands and leave evidence.

If I file a complaint myself, he will produce evidence, and then I won't be able to escape either.

Wang Jun gripped the dagger tightly.

Duan Hao panicked and roared, "Wang Jun, if you dare to kill me, my master will skin you alive!"

Without wasting words, Wang Jun gripped his dagger tightly, bracing himself against his injuries, and lunged viciously at Duan Hao.
