The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3672 Negotiation
Several terrifying figures turned their gazes and focused on Lin Chen.

Lin Chen instantly felt as if his body had been pierced, and everything about him had been exposed. He lost control of his entire body and completely submitted to this terrifying pressure.

Although it was just a clone, and its strength was much weaker than the original, its mere aura was enough to make him feel this way, a feeling he had never experienced before.

"Who are you, and what do you want to talk to us about?"

A sound like thunder roared in Lin Chen's mind, making his head buzz.

Lin Chen had seen countless powerful figures, but he had never faced such a terrifying opponent.

Suddenly, Lin Chen's clone felt the pressure on his body disappear instantly.

Lin Chen quickly said, "I did travel with a celestial being, but that celestial being is not one of the celestial beings you have met before. This is also his first time entering this area. He is unaware of the contracts you have made with those celestial beings, so his appearance does not violate the contracts you have made with the celestial beings."

A terrifying voice boomed like thunder: "Which god is he?"

Lin Chen answered frankly, "The Creator God."

One of the shadows spoke up and asked, "How many gods are there in your Celestial Realm?"

Lin Chen replied, "Eighteen, but one of them was attacked by the other seventeen. When those seventeen gods entered this place, the Creation God was imprisoned by them and could not get out at all."

"Oh, really? Then it certainly doesn't count as a breach of contract."

The enormous shadowy voice seemed to carry a hint of disappointment. Sensing this subtle emotion, Lin Chen asked loudly, "We are representatives of the Creator God. We stayed here to speak with you on his behalf."

The shadowy voice was filled with disdain and mockery: "What's there to talk about? Doesn't he even have the guts to stand in front of us?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Because the Creator God was besieged by other gods, he first lost his body, and not long ago he was besieged by them with a trick. In order to escape, the Creator God self-destructed his divine spark and only managed to escape with his life by relying on his powerful unique divine power. He has not yet recovered his body and his combat power has been greatly reduced. In addition, he does not understand the situation here, so he sent us as his representatives to talk to you."

"What's there to talk about? Although he didn't break the contract we signed before, he's a celestial being who entered this place and slaughtered my Heavenly Demon Clan. How can we let him go?"

Despite the Heavenly Demon Venerable's fierce words, Lin Chen remained fearless and loudly proclaimed, "I just want to ask one question: what is the Heavenly Demon Venerables' attitude towards the gods of the Heavenly God Realm? Do they want to kill them?"

The Heavenly Demon Venerable's voice boomed like thunder, as if descending from the deepest hell, filled with mystery and terror: "What difference does it make whether you want to or not? He's just a defeated opponent, and you almost died yourself. Does he really think he can take on seventeen of them by himself?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "It all depends on human effort. How can you know you'll definitely fail if you haven't even tried?"

"I don't know the circumstances under which your previous contract was signed, or whether you were acting voluntarily. If so, and if you have no grudge against the seventeen gods, then we have nothing to discuss. You may kill us!"

The Heavenly Demon Venerable sneered, "You little bug, how dare you speak so arrogantly? Killing you is a piece of cake!"

"You don't need to do it yourself."

One of the clones suddenly burst into laughter, then raised his hand and slapped his own forehead, instantly blasting his body into a cloud of blood mist.

This sudden turn of events silenced the several shadowy figures in the starry sky. They certainly didn't care about the other's life, but they hadn't even made a move yet, and the other had suddenly committed suicide so resolutely—what was going on?

The remaining Lin Chen clone smiled slightly: "The Creation God has left only the two of us behind. He wants to have a sincere talk with you all. If you really have no intention of talking at all, then just kill me as well. Then the Creation God will know what you are thinking and will leave quietly without causing you any more trouble. Let everything here remain as it is, without any changes."

Several shadowy figures turned around, seemingly communicating with each other.

Lin Chen wasn't in a hurry; he just waited quietly.

One person commits suicide, leaving only one alive. This is a form of coercion. On one hand, it expresses that I am not afraid of death and that you don't need to threaten me with death. On the other hand, it forces the other party to express their opinion: if you really have no idea, then let's not waste time. But if you do have an idea, then stop being so coy and putting on airs.

Not long after, one of the Shadows' voices rang out again: "We wanted to kill them back then, but we failed. What can you do?"

Lin Chen was overjoyed. As long as he was certain that they were hostile, then there was room for negotiation.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Lin Chen laughed and said, "The Creation God wants to kill the other gods and take revenge on them. Doesn't that mean we all have the same goal? If so, aren't we friends?"

One of the shadows sneered, "We are bound by an oath and cannot set foot in the Celestial Realm. Even if you want to kill those Celestials, we can't help you."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "You can't go to the Celestial Realm, but you can help strengthen the power of the Creator God. Isn't that the same thing? You can rest assured that the Creator God and the seventeen Celestial Gods are sworn enemies. You don't need to worry that your help will be in vain."

The shadowy figure said coldly, "What does he want to do? Does he want to devour the primordial power of the universe?"

Lin Chen replied, "He currently needs to rebuild his primordial spirit. Do you have any ideas that can help? If you have any powerful magic weapons that can pose a fatal threat to a celestial being, you can bring out a few more."

"What can we gain? Even if we help him, we won't get anything in return."

Lin Chen replied, "You want them to die. Isn't their death your biggest benefit? You can't even do it yourselves, but others do it for you. Isn't that a gain?"

“You have an enemy you want dead, but you can’t kill him. There’s someone willing to fight for you and risk their life to kill your enemy. Even though you can’t help, shouldn’t you help that person arm themselves?”

The Heavenly Demon Venerable sneered, "Does he think he can succeed alone?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Why don't we try and see? Even if we fail, it won't hurt you at all, right?"

"I don't know much about your Heavenly Demon Clan. In short, if there's anything good, I'll lend a hand, then sit back and watch the show. If they win, you've made a profit, don't you think?"

The shadowy figures fell silent for a moment, seemingly continuing their discussion.

Lin Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that these Heavenly Demon Venerables still harbored strong feelings towards the Heavenly Gods.

Since they didn't reject my conditions outright, it means there's room for negotiation!
