The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 375: Chapter 375: You’ll Be Dead in One Hour!_1

”Rocky Stein, looks like you’re not doing so well, either. Want to switch out?”

Carson Flores’s voice was filled with unmistakable mockery, ”Zayne Shepherd, how about you come and have another go at it? I’m injured and coughing up blood, you’ll have the upper hand...”

The words of Carson Flores immediately triggered gasps and laughter.

This Carson Flores kid is really ruthless!

It’s like he’s saying, ’I’ll strike you when you’re down,’ with not a hint of hesitation.

Rocky Stein couldn’t even stand properly, clearly finished for the day.

Among those from the Divine Cloudy Sect who arrived today, only Zayne Shepherd was a capable fighter. Carson Flores directly challenging Zayne Shepherd meant he was prepared to take on the entire Divine Cloudy Sect all by himself.

How audacious!

Zayne Shepherd’s face turned red with anger. When had the Divine Cloudy Sect ever been so disgraced?

Today, they were being humiliated by a youngster under thirty from bottom to top, and what was most important was that the Divine Cloudy Sect couldn’t suppress him!

Of course, Zayne Shepherd wouldn’t accept Carson Flores’s challenge. Even though Carson Flores had been struck by Rocky Stein three times until he coughed up blood and sustained injuries, they were not severe. Seeing how Carson had previously demolished Nash Acedvedo, Zayne probably expected to share the same fate if he took him on!

Now that Carson Flores was injured and further hurt by Rocky Stein, wouldn’t all that pent-up anger just be taken out on himself?

Zayne Shepherd ignored Carson Flores’s challenge and instead asked directly, ”Carson Flores, tell me, do you know the Resuscitation Technique?”

Carson Flores grinned, ”Yeah, I do.”

Zayne Shepherd said seriously, ”Can we talk in private for a moment?”

Carson Flores chuckled, ”You want me to save Rocky Stein? Heh, can you even say that out loud?”

All the onlookers were stunned.

What’s going on?

They want Carson Flores to save Rocky Stein?

Wasn’t Rocky just ruthlessly attacking Carson Flores, trying to kill him?

Beyond their surprise, everyone started buzzing with discussion, talking about this astonishing turn of events.

Kylie Martinez said with delight, ”So only the Resuscitation Technique can save her? Haha, fate really is bizarre.”

Kylan Martinez nodded, ”If that’s true, Carson Flores now completely holds the initiative. The only question is whether he’ll choose to save her or not.”

Kylie Martinez snorted, ”That old hag was just trying to kill Carson Flores. Why would he save her, just to let her turn around and try to kill him again?”

Castiel Martinez stroked his chin, ”It depends on their sincerity. If the Divine Cloudy Sect can show enough of it, it’s not impossible. After all, even if Carson Flores kills Rocky Stein, aside from escalating the tension, there’s no benefit for him.”

Kylie Martinez pouted, ”At least he could have the satisfaction of revenge!”

Castiel Martinez smiled, ”There are many ways to get revenge, and dying isn’t always necessary. Sometimes, being alive is a punishment worse than death.”

Standing to the side, Tobias Singleton’s expression became somewhat complex. Crossing his arms, he rubbed his fingers, his look betraying a hint of regret.

Did he jump to conclusions too early?

He initially thought that once Rocky Stein took action, no matter how extraordinary Carson Flores was, everything was bound to come to an end. If that was the case, why stir up trouble? But who could have foreseen such a dramatic turn of events?

Zayne Shepherd’s face flushed red. He had intended to pull Carson Flores aside and discuss the matter privately, to apologize or make promises or negotiate—whatever it took to get Carson to save Rocky Stein. But Carson had bluntly exposed his intentions, leaving no chance for a private conversation, even mentioning it in front of everyone and attracting their attention.

This kid has a truly malicious mind!

He wants to humiliate the Divine Cloudy Sect in front of everyone!

Zayne Shepherd was about to disengage when suddenly Rocky Stein’s body trembled again, and another mouthful of fresh blood gushed out.

Zayne Shepherd instantly panicked. Rocky Stein was one of the three Innate Great Grandmasters of the Divine Cloudy Sect, one of its pillars. Her status and importance to the Divine Cloudy Sect were unparalleled.

Rocky Stein absolutely could not die!

Zayne Shepherd could no longer worry about losing face, ”Have you diagnosed Elder Zhang’s condition?”

Carson Flores replied indifferently with a smile, ”Of course. If I hadn’t targeted her Jade Hall acupoint, how would her condition have worsened so quickly? Are you feeling breathless now, as if there’s a stabbing pain in your chest? Don’t worry, you won’t have to suffer for long; in an hour, you’ll be free of this pain.”

An hour!

Zayne Shepherd’s expression drastically changed, and fear was unmistakable in Rocky Stein’s eyes.

Carson Flores’s meaning was clear—her condition could only last for an hour. In an hour, she would die!

No wonder she felt like there shouldn’t have been any problem with her strikes earlier and thought she could keep the rebellious Gang Qi under control. But after Carson tapped her that way, the Gang Qi suddenly became uncontrollable, turning into a piercing blade that triggered her condition to erupt prematurely.

Zayne Shepherd’s gaze inadvertently swept over the crowd, searching for members from the other sects and families.

Zayne Shepherd was certain he couldn’t overpower Carson Flores. Now the only option was to find another reliable Innate Great Grandmaster to take down Carson and threaten his life to coerce him into treating Rocky Stein!

Seeing where Zayne Shepherd’s gaze was headed, Carson Flores knew what he was thinking and sneered, ”What, planning to get someone to take me down, put a knife to my throat, and force me to treat this old geezer, or else you’ll kill me?”
