The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 387: Chapter 387: Cliché Love Triangle?_1

Carson Flores’s spirits lifted, his attention became even more focused.

The truth was about to come to light!

”These three people were very powerful, and the one leading them was especially formidable. Your father had already been seriously injured, and your mother couldn’t hold them off on her own. Within a short amount of time, both your parents were knocked down and severely wounded, lying on the ground, barely alive.”

”I hadn’t had the chance to leave yet and witnessed the entire process. They didn’t attack me immediately; they were specifically targeting your parents.”

”I overheard their conversation with your parents. That man was in love with your mother, and his family intended to arrange a marriage with the Frost Family, but your mother fell in love with your father and even ran away from home for him, nearly severing ties with her own family.”

Carson Flores’s eyes widened, his gaze holding a subtle nuance.

A melodramatic love triangle?

This man loved his own mother, yet his mother loved his father. Unable to win over his mother’s love, did the man grow to hate from love and sought to destroy both his mother and the man she loved?

”That man originally intended to kill both your parents and me as a bystander, but then a young woman arrived and stopped him from killing your parents.”

”It seemed that the woman knew your father and wanted to take them both away, which the man disagreed with, and a fight ensued.”

”The woman looked very young, but her power was surprisingly great. With a mere flick of her finger, she inflicted a severe wound on that man, and the two people he brought with him who immediately attacked were instantly killed by the woman’s hand.”

”That woman initially wanted to attack me too, but your father stopped her, and then she left with your parents.”

”I stayed in the mountains with that man for one night, and after daylight broke, I carried the man out of the woods. He spared my life since I had saved him, but he warned me not to tell anyone about what happened that night.”

”Peter Miller later contacted me, wanting to know if I had caught up with your father and taken the Heaven’s Prophecy jade. Although I didn’t want to take the blame, I dared not speak the truth and had no choice but to let Peter Miller misunderstand.”

Carson Flores asked in a deep voice, ”Who is that man, and who is the person who took away my parents?”

Johnny Gross replied, ”His name is Shane Fox, a disciple of the Five Dragon Sect.”

Carson Flores pressed, ”So he’s the one who loved my mother?”

”No.”

Johnny Gross answered, ”The one who loved your mother is Gunner Tate, the current Sect Master of the Five Dragon Sect. Shane Fox was carrying out Gunner Tate’s orders to assassinate your parents.”

Carson Flores’s eyes narrowed slightly as he said coldly, ”He’s quite capable, to have become the Sect Master.”

Johnny Gross replied, ”Gunner Tate is a well-known cultivation prodigy. He became a Grandmaster at twenty-five, a Great Grandmaster at thirty-three, and an Innate Great Grandmaster at forty-four. Because of his remarkable talents, he took over the Five Dragon Sect in his forties and is highly regarded within the sect.”

Carson Flores said coldly, ”Entering the Innate realm at forty-four is indeed impressive. Such a genius would naturally be very proud, and perhaps it was also for this reason that when my mother rejected him, he felt humiliated and therefore sought to destroy my parents and kill me—the child he resents being born.”

Johnny Gross nodded, ”Probably, I’m not sure what he’s thinking exactly as I’ve never met him.”

Carson Flores asked, ”Aren’t you afraid of their retaliation now that you’re telling me the whole truth?”

Johnny Gross answered frankly, ”When I encountered you in broad daylight, my first reaction was panic, because if I couldn’t tell the truth, you would definitely kill me. If I did tell, perhaps they would want to kill me too, which is why I ran off immediately. After leaving, I called Shane Fox, and he told me to reveal the truth to you.”

Carson Flores’s gaze was icy, ”Why would he want you to tell me the truth?”

Johnny Gross explained, ”The order he received back then was to kill your father and you and to bring back your mother. But since your parents were saved by someone and you disappeared, he failed his mission and was punished when he returned. He said he suffered for ten years, but I’m not sure what exactly the punishment was.”

Carson Flores pondered, ”So, he holds a grudge against me?”

Johnny Gross nodded, ”It seems so. He told me to tell you the truth and said if you wanted to avenge your parents, to go find him, as he wants to make amends for his past negligence.”

”Make amends for negligence? By killing me?”

Carson Flores scoffed coldly, ”He’s quite the proud one. Well, since he’s thrown down the gauntlet, I’ll be sure to look him up... What happened to my parents afterward? Do we have any news of them, and who is that woman?”

Johnny Gross shook his head, ”Since then, there has been no news of your parents, but judging from the situation at that time, it seemed that the woman wasn’t there to kill them, so I suspect they’re still alive.”

”I don’t know the origins of that woman, but she was domineering in her actions and very strong. Shane Fox was gravely injured with a mere flick of her finger. Hmm, the way she looked at us was as if we were mere ants, yet her gaze differed when looking at your father. At the time, I even speculated that perhaps she was in love with your father...”
