The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 881: Chapter 881: Forcibly Carving Out a Path to Promotion

”Things are pretty much like this...”

Carson Flores went over everything once more and then humbly said, ”If the Human Emperor was really hidden nearby, even if I didn’t take action, he definitely wouldn’t just stand by. He would have intervened to save Giant Wave City, so there’s no point in mentioning my involvement...”

The hall was silent.

Shirley Miller sat beside Carson Flores, her gaze tenderly resting on him.

Carson Flores didn’t mention his reason for getting involved, but she guessed it.

Indeed, Carson Flores couldn’t bear to see the city’s people lose their lives to Demonic Beasts, but a big reason he protected this city so desperately was because it was a city of Rajevols, and the City Lord was from his sect.

Carson Flores loved everything associated with his home.

She turned her head, looking at Samantha Tate, her eyes filled with joy.

Five Elements Spiritual Body!

Yueyue actually had a Five Elements Spiritual Body, and now she had reached Nascent Soul Great Perfection, which was really great.

So many changes had happened that the three of them were already closely bonded, making it impossible to separate them. Not to mention, in this strange Cultivation Realm, the three of them could almost be considered as depending on each other for survival, each being the most important person in the others’ hearts.

Shirley Miller was no longer going to bring up matters of feelings. After so many hardships, the three had finally come together safely and had each achieved notable success. That was already wonderful.

Was there anything else to mind?

Was there anything else to be anxious about?

She reached out and took Samantha Tate’s hand, and the two exchanged a glance, dissipating all their concerns and misunderstandings in that single look.

The tall man who had been silent suddenly laughed, ”Mr. Flores, you’re too impressive. To think that with a Nascent Soul, you could actually confront a Transformative Great Demon and even incapacitate it—I’m really curious about how you did it. Can you share?”

Carson Flores’s gaze landed on the man, ”Who might this be?”

The man introduced himself with a smile, ”Rajevols, Di Yuan sect, Liam Malone.”

Carson Flores chuckled, ”Just some small tricks to save my life, nothing noteworthy.”

Liam Malone’s eyes briefly showed disappointment, but he concealed it well and smiled, ”Sorry, my curiosity can be a bit strong. I was being presumptuous.”

Carson Flores chuckled, ”Don’t mind.”

After chatting for a while and responding to some questions from Sophia Roth, Carson Flores said goodbye to Shirley Miller and Samantha Tate, and walked out.

”Let’s go out for a walk.”

”Okay.”

The three of them left the City Lord’s Mansion, exited the city, and then settled down on a scenic mountain peak nearby.

Carson Flores took out three lounge chairs and set them up on the ground, Shirley Miller couldn’t help but laugh, ”You really are well prepared with these lounge chairs.”

Carson Flores said laughing, ”I often run around outside; it’s better to have everything prepared. If I can sit, why stand? If I can lie down, why sit?”

Shirley Miller lay down, laughing, ”You seem to be living quite well. My life has been boring, just cultivation all day long; I haven’t even stepped out the door.”

Carson Flores laughed, ”Yueyue is the same. When I went to meet her, it was also her first time going out for training, but she fell into the Demon King’s trap instead, and even the Supreme Elder of our sect died...”

Samantha Tate laughed, ”Sister, luckily Brother Chen came, or else I would have been doomed. The Crimson Dragon King chased us quite far, and we almost couldn’t escape...”

Shirley Miller looked at Carson Flores in surprise, ”You actually had the ability to fight a Demon King?”

Carson Flores laughed, ”Fight what? It was all about running away, fleeing without even daring to look back...”

Shirley Miller laughed, ”To be able to escape from a Demon King’s grasp, that’s not something just anyone can do. There’s still some time, tell me about what happened after I left.”

”Sure!”

Carson Flores laughed, ”Speaking of which, I must thank you for that last text message you sent me. After I received the message, I went to that place where the seasons of summer and winter interchange...”

Carson Flores recounted all of his experiences, except for the matter of the Emperor Seal, and even shared that his father was the Demon Emperor Heir.

Shirley Miller, dazzled by his tales, finally whispered admiringly, ”You’re really incredible. Without any special talents, you’ve managed to carve out a path to advance, gaining such strength in such a short time...”

Carson Flores joked, ”Maybe my talent is ’destiny.’ At least along this journey, I’ve always had good luck, always managing to escape death. Before facing powerful enemies, I always seem to find some means to escape disaster.”

Shirley Miller was amused, ”That’s a nice way to put it. Destiny is quite mystical and indeed terrifying. A true Son of Destiny might pick up some trash while walking and it could turn out to be an ancient magical treasure...”

”I’m not that miraculous. Everything I’ve gotten, I’ve had to fight for with my life.”

As Carson Flores talked about picking up treasures, he suddenly remembered something and took out a banner he had casually grabbed from the Tomb of the Demon Emperor.

”Speaking of picking up treasures, I just remembered, during the chaos at the Tomb of the Demon Emperor with magical treasures flying everywhere, I was far away and just grabbed this. I studied it a bit at the time but couldn’t figure it out. Then I went back and got busy with Refinement Sword Bone and such, and actually forgot about it.”

Carson Flores placed the banner in front of them, smiling, ”Although you two hardly step outside, you’ve read many classic texts of the sect. Take a look for me, see what this item is and how it should be used?”
