Beauty and the Bodyguard



10602 Chapter 10591-

“Is that so?” Lin Yi turned to Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen coldly looked at Hechi.”From a procedural point of view, it is indeed so.”

At least in terms of procedure, Hechi’s actions did not violate any rules.

If they were to treat Xiao Maitreya’s death lightly like Zhao Chen, they’d treat him as a normal executive of the Alliance. His personal grudge with Lin Yi was on the same level, and the Alliance didn’t need to care at all.

However, it was not completely far-fetched to be like Hechi.

After all, the identity of the laughing Maitreya was indeed quite special compared to the general Alliance executive.

Zhao Chen could choose not to interfere, but he had no right to stop Hechi, who was at the same level as him, from interfering. Otherwise, he would be overstepping his authority.

Hechi looked at Lin Yi’s reaction,”I don’t have much time, Lin Yi. Don’t try to waste time, it’s meaningless.”

“I’ll ask one more question, are you standing up for Xiao Maitreya or Xi rulai?” Lin Yi looked at him curiously.

Hechi’s face darkened. I’ve already said that I don’t mean to target you. All I’ve done is to fulfill my duty!

“Is that so?”

Lin Yi said as he picked up the handcuffs.”So I can only choose to cooperate?”

Hechi revealed a proud smile. “Of course, you can choose not to cooperate, but before that, you have to consider whether you can afford the price. I have to say, the tea of the Alliance Security Bureau is not that good. Once you go in, it is hard to say if you want to come out again.”

His words were full of provocation.

“You look like you’re expecting me to resist?” Lin Yi looked at him strangely.

“I’m just hoping that you’ll be more tactful,” he Chi sneered.

“You’re insincere. It’s boring.”

Lin Yi shook his head. In the next second, his body flashed and he appeared three steps away from the river.

Even Zhao Chen’s eyes twitched when he saw this, let alone Hechi.

Whether it was him or Hechi, they were both experts who could be ranked in the Alliance’s security Bureau. Even in the entire Alliance of divine academies, they were well-known figures.

But they couldn’t understand Lin Yi’s sudden burst of speed!

Was this the speed of a human cultivator?

If Lin Yi had used some sort of special ability like spatial laws, it would be understandable, but the problem was that Lin Yi had used pure physical speed without any fancy skills.

The meaning behind this made the two of them feel their blood run cold.

Only then did Hechi react, and his expression changed. “What do you want to do? Don’t tell me you still dare to attack me?”

With the Alliance’s security Department as a shield, he was sure that Lin Yi wouldn’t dare to do anything.

In the divine Kingdom on land, no one could bear the consequences of going against the Alliance’s security Agency, unless the person was one of the nine Giants on the Supreme Board of Directors.

That being said, protecting the interests of the nine big shots was the first priority of the Alliance Security Bureau. The nine big shots and the Alliance Security Bureau were naturally one, and they would never go against each other.

“You’ve been acting all high and mighty like you’ve forgotten something,” Lin Yi said indifferently.

“What?”

Hechi subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

However, he didn’t back down. He had great confidence in his identity and strength.

Even if he knew that Lin Yi’s strength was very likely to be above his, he wouldn’t back down at a time like this. He knew that with his background, if he wanted to continue climbing up, he had to grab every opportunity.

And right now, it was his once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity to rise to power.

As a member of the Alliance’s security Bureau, he had a lot of freedom and decision-making power in theory. As long as it was determined that it might affect the Alliance’s security situation, he could directly intervene.

However, the problem was that with the current power of the Alliance of divine academies, unless it was far-fetched, how could there be so many major events that could threaten the nine big shots of the Supreme Board of Directors?

Speaking of which, if such a big thing really happened, it would not be something he, Hechi, could handle.

This incident was the only one that was serious enough to alert the entire Board of Directors.

At this moment, the nine powerhouses ‘gazes were already on the scene, watching their every move.

This kind of opportunity to show his face was really hard to come by for Hechi!

With his current status, if he wanted to rise to the next level, he had to be recognized by the nine big shots. And the premise of being recognized was to have the opportunity to show his face like now.

Otherwise, why would the nine magnates promote you if they didn’t even know who you were?

The most amazing thing about this opportunity was that while it attracted a lot of attention, the risk was extremely low.

After all, he was only stepping on Lin Yi’s stairs!

The key was that Lin Yi had clearly offended Xi rulai, and even Kong shenglin, the strongest faction, was standing against Lin Yi.

If Hechi could successfully step on Lin Yi this time, not only would he be in the limelight, he would also be doing a huge favor to Tathagata and the entire strongest faction!

Once he got this favor, it might be able to exchange for the most important advancement in his life!

Hence, in his eyes, Lin Yi wasn’t just a potential criminal anymore-he was a shining step into the next level!

However, Lin Yi’s reaction was beyond his expectations.

“What does power come from?”

Lin Yi’s question stunned him.

Hechi reacted and snorted, “”Of course my power comes from the Alliance Security Bureau, or the Supreme Board of Directors. What do you want to say?”

Lin Yi’s lips curled up as he sent a palm out without any warning.

Hechi’s eyelids twitched, and the first thought that flashed through his mind was,’is this person crazy?

At this moment, the nine tycoons of the Supreme Board of Directors were all paying attention to every move here-did Lin Yi really think that the Alliance’s security was so weak?

“I’ll teach you something-power comes from strength,” Lin Yi smiled.

As he spoke, his palm strike had already landed on Hechi’s body. Hechi had no way to Dodge and was pressed to the ground.

Zhao Chen wasn’t surprised at all.

After all, he had just witnessed the shocking scene of the laughing Maitreya being killed in seconds.

In terms of strength, both he and Hechi were still far from the laughing Maitreya. If Lin Yi could kill the laughing Maitreya, he could kill the two of them too.
