The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 728: Chapter 728: Haha, do you think I believe it?_1

On the ninth day, at dusk.

Delaney Hunter opened her eyes, blinked, and quickly cleared her head. Many scenes before she had passed out emerged in her mind, and her eyes suddenly became as sharp as daggers, her beautiful brow slightly raised, exuding a murderous aura.

These bastards actually used poison on her!

She clearly understood their intention to use poison on her. Weren’t they just afraid that killing her would anger her master? So, they poisoned her to make her faint and be out of the game, then took the opportunity to seize White Wave City.

Now, White Wave City was probably already in the hands of the Holy Fire Sect, right?

She just didn’t know whether Hector Tate and the others were dead or injured or if they managed to retreat safely as she had instructed.

Delaney Hunter’s gaze swiveled around, and she suddenly froze.

This was her room in the City Lord’s Mansion!

She was still in White Wave City, within the City Lord’s Mansion!

Delaney Hunter’s heart sank.

Was she captured?

Delaney Hunter took a deep breath and steadied her mind, then checked her own condition.

Slightly weak...

Just as Delaney Hunter was hesitating over whether to close her eyes and rest a bit more to recover, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Qingling walked in.

Delaney Hunter could tell it was Qingling from the footsteps, sighed to herself, and thought it seemed like no one managed to escape. She hoped Hector Tate and the rest were just captured and that there were no casualties.

Qingling approached the bedside, saw that Delaney Hunter’s eyes were open, and called out with a surprised delight, ”Peak Master, you’re awake!”

Delaney Hunter quickly pulled Qingling closer, covered her mouth, and hissed, ”Keep your voice down. What’s happening now? Have we all been captured by the Holy Fire Sect?”

Qingling blinked and shook her head.

Not captured?

Delaney Hunter paused, a surge of joy rising in her heart. Could it be they had called in some reinforcements to hold down White Wave City, causing the Holy Fire Sect’s plan to fail?

”The Holy Fire Sect didn’t come to attack White Wave City?”

Qingling freed her hand from Delaney Hunter’s grip and replied, ”They did come.”

Delaney Hunter asked with confusion, ”But they didn’t take it?”

”Hmm.”

Delaney Hunter let out a sigh of relief, released Qingling, and smiled, ”Who did you call for help to hold the city?”

”No one came.”

Delaney Hunter was stunned: ”Then how did you hold off White Wave City? Zion Frost definitely came, he is at the Divinity Transformation Stage...”

Qingling chuckled, ”Today is the ninth day since you’ve been unconscious. The day after you fainted early in the morning, they came. We used the Spirit Light Array to defend for nine days...”

Delaney Hunter’s eyes widened, incredulous: ”How many of them were there?”

Qingling replied, ”Zion Frost led the charge, with seven or eight Nascent Souls, more than ten Golden Cores, about twenty people in total.”

Delaney Hunter gasped, ”Defending for one day must have cost five or six million Spirit Stones, right? Nine days... you must have burned nearly fifty million Spirit Stones. Where did you get so many Spirit Stones?”

Qingling replied, ”Not that many. Up to now, we’ve used a total of twenty-six million Spirit Stones.”

Delaney Hunter asked in surprise, ”With Divinity Transformation Stage experts leading and so many powerful individuals attacking, it must have taken at least five or six million Spirit Stones for one day of attack. How come it’s so little after nine days?”

Qingling smiled, ”Zion Frost was here for the first few days, but then he left on the fourth day. He only returned this morning. Since he wasn’t here, their attacks were somewhat slack, and the consumption of Spirit Stones decreased significantly. This morning, he came back and used the Primordial Spirit Thunder to blast open the Aura Barrier...”

Delaney Hunter’s eyes widened, ”Primordial Spirit Thunder? They blasted open the Aura Barrier? Then they must have broken into the city. You say we didn’t fall, so who could have stopped him?”

Qingling smiled, ”Heaven was helping us too. As soon as he broke in, he went to hunt Carson Flores. Just as he seemed about to kill Carson Flores, he suddenly fainted and fell straight from the sky. Then, Carson Flores rushed to capture him, and the attacks from outside stopped.”

Delaney Hunter felt her brain couldn’t keep up, even suspecting Qingling was joking with her.

A Divinity Transformation Stage expert fainting by himself?

Qingling pulled Delaney Hunter out the door, leaped to the roof, and at a glance, saw Zion Frost chained to a distant iron pillar.

Delaney Hunter looked at the intact Aura Barrier above her head and then at Zion Frost. Her mind was in total chaos.

”Tell me everything from start to finish, starting from when I fainted,” Delaney Hunter said.

After Qingling finished explaining, Delaney Hunter was dumbfounded again.

Zion Frost, running back and forth for a few days, brought Primordial Spirit Thunder to blast open the Aura Barrier, but fainted while chasing Carson Flores?

Unbelievable!

Everyone else believed this was a rare lucky event, but Delaney Hunter didn’t believe it for a cent.

What kind of unbelievable luck was that?

Not fainting earlier or later, but exactly at the moment before slaying Carson Flores?

Ha, as if I would believe it!

Carson Flores?

What kind of tricks did this guy have up his sleeve to instantly take down a Divinity Transformation Stage expert? That was too exaggerated, right?

”Where’s Carson Flores?”

”He’s up there keeping watch. These past few days, he has been constantly there, not leaving for a moment.”

Delaney Hunter suddenly felt moved.

White Wave City originally had nothing to do with this guy, but he unblinkingly shelled out millions of Spirit Stones and risked his life to defend the city...

Wait a second.

Where did he get millions of Spirit Stones?
