The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 896: Chapter 896: I Am Your Second Senior Brother

”This is a map formed from the expeditions of the disciples of Kahdas through the generations. Take it.”

Adelaide Bautista handed a Jade Slip to Carson Flores, her eyes full of reassurance, ”I heard you were being hunted by the Crimson Dragon King and disappeared without a trace. I was so worried, so I came to check on you. Fortunately, you’re alright.”

Carson Flores was deeply touched, ”Aunt Adelaide, once I find my dad, why don’t you two get together? I’ll handle it with my mom...”

Adelaide Bautista’s expression stiffened, then her face suddenly blushed, as she scolded, ”What are you talking about?”

Carson Flores earnestly said, ”I’m not kidding. There’s something I haven’t told you. Actually, before my mom was preparing to quietly leave my dad when you returned from Beihan City to let you two be together. But we didn’t expect my dad to go to Harmony Hollow and not return...”

Adelaide Bautista was stunned, ”She told you that?”

Carson Flores nodded, ”People’s hearts are made of flesh. You’ve done so much for both my mom and dad, and my mom is a person of deep feelings. As a woman, she can understand your feelings and sacrifices, and she has always felt sorry. If it hadn’t been for her, you and my dad would probably be a happy couple.”

Adelaide Bautista’s eyes inexplicably reddened, yet she forced herself to hold back the tears.

”There’s no need. I didn’t mean to break them apart. Some things, once missed, are missed forever, and I know they truly love each other...”

Carson Flores softly said, ”The Immortal Path is heartless, but people are sentimental. Cultivators should follow their hearts; otherwise, wouldn’t it become a Heart Demon later? As long as you don’t mind, my dad doesn’t mind, and my mom doesn’t mind, that’s all that matters. Why care about other people’s opinions?”

Adelaide Bautista looked at Carson Flores, who resembled a younger version of Westin Flores, and suddenly laughed, ”You’re more insightful than your dad, eh? Two wives who are both sisters, one with the Wood Spirit Physique from Heavenly Mountain Cave, the other a contender from Rajevols...”

Carson Flores shamelessly said, ”We had feelings for each other first, then the other stuff happened. It doesn’t matter whether they’re Wood Spirit Beings or ordinary people, it doesn’t affect our feelings.”

Adelaide Bautista sighed, ”I’m happy you feel this way today, but let’s not think about this anymore. Your mother has not had it easy. Leaving a superior family environment on Earth and coming to this strange world far from friends and family, I don’t want to ruin their relationship.”

”Besides, you know your dad’s situation. He has become the Demon Emperor Heir and no matter what the circumstances are in the future, it will be very difficult for him to come back.”

Carson Flores said with conviction, ”As long as he hasn’t lost his memory, I believe he will definitely come back. If he changes, I will wake him up, dispel all his illusions, and bring him back to his former self!”

Adelaide Bautista was amused and touched by Carson’s words, ”If you ever manage to beat the Demon Emperor, I’m sure your father would be proud, even if it was you who had to beat him.”

Carson Flores smiled, ”I’m still young, there will always be opportunities. Aunt Adelaide, just you wait. I will definitely bring him back. All you have to do is agree, and then you won’t have to be alone anymore.”

Adelaide Bautista laughed, ”Okay, if you can really bring him back, I’ll agree to whatever you say.”

Carson Flores smiled, ”Good, that’s a promise!”

Adelaide Bautista chuckled, ”A promise.”

Carson Flores bowed, ”Aunt Adelaide, then I’ll be leaving now.”

”Wait.”

Adelaide Bautista took out a Token and handed it to Carson Flores, ”This is the Great Displacement Command, a spatial Magic Artifact that can ignore Formations and other obstacles to teleport ten kilometers. It can be used once a day. If you face danger, use it to quickly get away.”

Carson Flores took it without hesitation. There’s only one life, and he wouldn’t refuse anything that could save it. He would borrow it for now and return it later.

”Thank you, Aunt Adelaide!”

Adelaide Bautista cautioned him, ”Bryant James has been recovering from injuries for most of this year after your eldest apprentice brother cut off one of his arms. Even the Cave Master couldn’t restore it, and for this, the Cave Master even punished him. I think he harbors even more hatred towards you now, so you better stay away from him and not give him a chance to strike at you.”

Carson Flores smiled, ”Unless something unexpected happens, I usually move with thirteen others; he won’t have much of an opportunity to target me.”

Adelaide Bautista nodded, ”That’s good then. Go ahead, and remember, magical treasures and such are secondary. Safety comes first. Come back safely—that’s what matters. You’re still young; there’s plenty of time and opportunities.”

”Okay!”

After Carson Flores left, he found a secluded spot near the entrance of the Secret Realm and sat down cross-legged.

Suddenly, Carson Flores felt the light dim before his eyes, startling him, and he abruptly opened his eyes, his pupils contracting sharply.

Just one meter in front of him, a young man in his thirties was also sitting cross-legged, resting his chin on one hand, and staring at him with interest.

Carson Flores was shocked. Who was this man? He had appeared silently right before him. If this man had been an enemy planning an ambush, wouldn’t he have been doomed?

Carson Flores warily asked, ”Who are you, sir?”

The young man grinned and waved his hand, ”Don’t be nervous, little apprentice brother. I just came to say hello.”

Carson Flores was surprised, ”You are?”

The young man took out a Jade Pendant symbolizing a disciple of Nutwood Mountain and swung it towards Carson Flores, grinning and showing eight pearly white teeth.

”I’m your second senior apprentice brother, Elijah White.”
