The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3595 Want it back? More money needed!

"How many divine crystals?"

Huo Ling Shuang didn't waste any words and went straight to asking the price.

Returning to the Immortal Realm is of paramount importance to Lin Chen, and he would certainly do it even if it meant going bankrupt.

The informant squinted: "I charge 300,000 divine crystals as a service fee, which includes the cost of the people I found. In addition, you have to give the head of the supervision team 3 million divine crystals."

This number is not small, but it is not particularly large either.

Huo Ling Shuang agreed without hesitation: "As long as things are done properly, there's no problem."

The informant nodded and said, "If you have enough divine crystals, I can take you to see the head of the oversight team right now."

"it is good!"

The informant said, "You have to pay me my fee first, then prepare three million divine crystals and just do as I say."

Huo Ling Shuang paid the other party 300,000 divine crystals cleanly and decisively without asking a single question. Her straightforwardness made the man even doubt that he had asked for too little.

Huo Ling Shuang and her companion followed the informant to a large mansion in the city. There, they met a fat man, exchanged a few words with him, and then he led them away from Jia Ye City towards the Heavenly God Bureau.

At the entrance of the Heavenly God Bureau, the fat man showed a token, and the guards at the gate let him through immediately.

The Heavenly God Bureau occupies a vast area, with magnificent palaces and various residences dotting the continuous mountain range. Huge metal pillars stand everywhere, each adorned with imposing statues that radiate light.

Lin Chen noticed that there was a person sitting cross-legged on each of the pillars.

At first he thought they were statues, but upon closer inspection he realized they were living people. They all held back their aura, like silent statues.

Huo Ling Shuang, who was also visiting the Heavenly God Division for the first time, asked in a low voice, "What are those people on the pillars for?"

The fat man chuckled: "The Heavenly Guards of the Heavenly God Division are all powerful Saints who take turns guarding the order of the Heavenly God Division."

Lin Chen sighed inwardly, "As expected of the Heavenly God Division!"
At a glance, there were at least dozens of huge metal pillars, each with a saint on it. In other words, at this moment, at least dozens of saints were guarding the Heavenly Gods.

The divine senses of these saints enveloped every inch of the Heavenly God Division. Anyone who tried to do something bad here would likely be discovered and captured the moment they made a move.

The fat man whispered, "The pillars beneath the Heavenly Guards, when combined, actually form an array that integrates attack and defense. With these Heavenly Guards and the array, even a saint would be instantly controlled and lose the power to resist."

Huo Ling Shuang asked in a low voice, "Who is this supervisory team leader? Could you introduce him to us so we don't make a mistake or offend anyone later?"

The fat man chuckled: "The team leader is Jia Ye, the deputy director of the combat department of the Heavenly God Division. Don't worry, I'll handle everything. You just need to give him the divine crystals. Also, this alien brother will be following the supervision team, so be careful."

"Although it cost divine crystals to get you in, you have to follow orders and do whatever you're told. Otherwise, if you make a mistake or anger someone, they might just wipe you out. Don't blame me for not warning you."

"The divine crystals you spent are only to get him into the team and go back to his hometown on the way, but it doesn't mean he bought a peace charm and can do whatever he wants."

Lin Chen replied, "I will follow the rules and I would never dare to do anything reckless."

The fat man nodded, and led the two of them into the Heavenly God Bureau in a swaggering manner. There, they met Jia Ye in an elegant courtyard.

Jia Ye looked like a middle-aged man, tall and thin, with an air of authority about him.

The fat man grinned and cupped his hands, saying, "Brother-in-law!" Jia Ye hummed in response, his gaze sweeping over the two of them before settling on Lin Chen's face.

"So you're going to the Immortal Realm?"

Lin Chen replied respectfully, "Yes."

Jia Ye's gaze turned cold: "I've heard you're quite familiar with both the immortal and demon realms?"

Lin Chen nodded and said, "Yes, I am quite powerful in the Immortal Realm. I am friends with the Immortal Emperor's disciple and also know several other saints. Although we are not close, we have interacted and become acquainted."

Jia Ye calmly said, "I can take you to the Immortal Realm. There might be something I can do to help you. Once things are settled, I can let you go home to visit your family... Do you still want to return to the Celestial Realm?"

Lin Chen nodded without hesitation: "Yes, we'll take it back."

Jia Ye glanced at Huo Ling Shuang: "Three million divine crystals is just the price to take him back. If you want to bring him back, you'll have to pay more."

Huo Ling Shuang nodded without hesitation: "Okay."

Jia Ye was very satisfied with Huo Ling Shuang's attitude: "I'll give you a discount, a total of five million divine crystals. I'll take him there and bring him back, provided that he obeys orders and works diligently."

"Okay, thank you, senior."

Huo Ling Shuang took out five million divine crystals and handed them to Jia Ye.

Jia Ye accepted the divine crystal and handed Lin Chen a token.

"The Drywood Clan is still not quite ready, so we'll be departing in a few days. The team will set off from the Celestial God's Teleportation Platform at noon on the first of next month. You can use this token to enter and find me at the teleportation platform. Don't be late, or no one will be waiting for you."

Lin Chen replied respectfully, "Okay, I'll definitely arrive early."

Jia Ye waved his hand: "Alright, you guys go back now. Just come over when the time comes."

The fat man smiled and said goodbye to Jia Ye, then led the two away from the Heavenly God Bureau and back to Jiaye City.

Back at the fat man's place, the fat man laughed and said, "I've taken your money and the business is done. If you need anything else done later, just come to me. As long as you have enough divine crystals, there's basically nothing I can't do."

Huo Ling Shuang thanked her again and then left.

"I never imagined that this fat guy was actually a relative of the deputy director of the combat department of the Celestial God Division. The Celestial God Division, such a supreme place, can actually use divine crystals to make connections. I would never have believed this before."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Small officials are petty thieves, big officials are big thieves. Who isn't thief? To put it nicely, it's all about human relationships. But if you think about it, the fact that those information brokers can do business under the Heavenly God Division without getting into trouble means that they must have powerful backers."

Huo Ling Shuang nodded: "The various big shots in the Heavenly God Division hold important positions and use their positions to make money. They can't just do it themselves, so these middlemen are very useful. And the one we found first should be the lowest-level information broker."

"They sell information, solicit business, and then find the corresponding middlemen for the necessary connections. Through the middlemen, they contact the big shots in the Heavenly God Bureau. The big shots make big money, and the small shots make small money. Everyone makes a profit."

“Just like Jia Ye brought you along, an insignificant human, and he already received five million divine crystals. If he brought more people, wouldn’t he easily get tens of millions of divine crystals? That many divine crystals could buy a Saint-grade demon beast spirit.”

Lin Chen chuckled: "This is a good thing. If they weren't greedy, how would I have had the chance to go back to my hometown?"
