The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1040: Chapter 1040: Next Time, Kill Them Before Boasting

”I am one of the Eight Great Brigand Kings, King Duncan the Bandit King,” he bellowed, ”You have half a day to gather the supplies listed. Miss one, and I’ll slaughter the city!”

Kellan Gentry flicked the fresh blood off his right hand, ”My hand is bleeding. I don’t mind if this city bleeds with me!”

Kellan Gentry’s voice thundered like a storm across the city, the black armor made him appear as if a Demon God had descended into the world, immensely intimidating.

Carson Flores sat on the roof outside the City Lord’s Mansion, looking at the large pit behind him, and then at Kellan Gentry who was shouting threats with a bandit’s ferocity, feeling oddly amused.

Would he really raise his slaughter blade if the people of this city didn’t pay the protection fee?

By the reputation alone, the name of the Eight Great Brigand Kings made everyone in the city tremble, and in less than half a day, they had gathered all the supplies listed.

”You know the score. Let’s go!”

Kellan Gentry led his men away howling, leaving the city behind.

Half a day later, the group set up camp in a desolate valley.

Kellan Gentry removed his iron armor and Carson Flores saw his hand, the flesh blasted off in several places revealing white bone, a gruesome sight.

Kellan Gentry took out a bottle of Spiritual Liquid and poured it into a basin, then submerged his hand into it.

Jorge Gross squatted beside him, ”Be quicker next time. Don’t give anyone the chance to blow themselves up.”

Kellan Gentry cracked a grin, ”I let my guard down, didn’t expect him to be so decisive with the self-detonation.”

Jorge Gross curled his lip, ”You said take their lives before taking their loot, leaving no way out. You think they’re waiting to be killed by you? If it were me, I’d self-detonate too. Next time, kill them first then brag about it.”

Kellan Gentry scratched his head with his left hand, looking somewhat embarrassed.

This scene, witnessed by Carson Flores, made him find these two individuals even more interesting.

Kellan Gentry, feeling Carson Flores’s gaze, turned his head and saw Carson looking at him smilingly, he cursed, ”You little rascal, what are you laughing at?”

Carson Flores replied, ”Just impressed, Kellan. Such a powerful impact and only your hand got wounded. If it were me, probably couldn’t find a single bone intact.”

Kellan Gentry scoffed, ”This is nothing. Once I single-handedly broke into Eastern Shengzhou and was attacked by several Demon Kings. I fought my way out alone, even killed one of them. When I got back to Central Divine Continent, there wasn’t a place on my body that wasn’t injured...”

Carson Flores asked in surprise, ”What were you doing in Eastern Shengzhou alone?”

Kellan Gentry answered, ”To kill the Demon Emperor, of course. Shame that Demon Emperor wasn’t much, but he had several Demon Kings by his side. Couldn’t get to him and turned to killing the Saintess. That Demon Race Holy Maiden was cunning though, lured me into a Formation, and trapped me. By the time I broke free, lots of Demon Kings were waiting outside, almost didn’t make it back alive.”

Kill the Demon Emperor?Saintess?Kellan Gentry almost killed Lilianna Norman?Thinking that Lilianna Norman might be hanging right behind the men, Carson Flores suddenly felt a bit uneasy.If they encountered each other, given Jorge Gross’s methods and Kellan Gentry’s brutality, Lilianna Norman’s chances of escaping weren’t high.Even if she was an Innate Taoist Body, she was simply at the Divinity Transformation Realm. How could she withstand Kellan Gentry’s Iron Fist?”Why do you hate the Demon Race so much, even going to Eastern Shengzhou to kill the Demon Emperor...”Kellan Gentry sneered, ”The Demon Race killed my father; this lifetime I won’t cease until they’re dead!”Carson Flores suddenly understood—it was vengeance for his father. No wonder he was so aggressive.”What Cultivation Technique do you practice? Your armor is impressive, surviving such an explosion unscathed...”Kellan Gentry said proudly, ”I practice the ancient supreme Overlord Body Demon Technique. My fists are my weapons, and my armor is my shield. No matter who the opponent is, I blow them away with one punch. If one punch doesn’t do it, then I’ll throw another!”Overlord Body Demon Technique?That name alone sounds domineering!Carson Flores gave a thumbs up, ”Impressive, this is my first time seeing a Hollow Void powerhouse who specializes in close combat. By the way, Mr. Gross, that bowl was awesome, covering the Great Demon from a distance and preventing his escape...”Kellan Gentry chuckled, ”Haven’t you heard? That’s called the World Within the Bowl. Don’t look down on it just because it’s an old clay bowl; it’s got quite the history...”Jorge Gross cut Kellan Gentry off, ”Stop bragging. Come on, apply your medicine.”Kellan Gentry uttered an affirmation, withdrew his hand from the basin, and after being soaked in Spiritual Liquid, all the wounds had stopped bleeding. He took out the ointment and began to apply it to the wounds himself.Jorge Gross’s eyes fell on Carson Flores, ”You didn’t contribute today, so there’s no share of the spoils for you...”Carson Flores replied with a smile, ”That’s fair. Just witnessing this battle was reward enough!”Jorge Gross asked, ”Are you going to continue following us?”Carson Flores nodded, ”Of course, if you don’t mind.”Jorge Gross stood up and said indifferently, ”Follow if you want, but if you die, it’s your own bad luck. We won’t care.”Carson Flores smiled, ”Alright, if I can’t handle it, I’ll run.”Zaire Schneider chimed in with a laugh, ”With your speed, escaping would be a miracle. If you’re really in danger, head to the boss and the Think Tank; maybe you’ll survive...””Ha, got it. Thanks for the tip, Zaire!”Carson Flores gratefully acknowledged with a smile, yet his mind was racing.They’d killed the Demon Race, occupied the city, and in only half a day, these people had neither looted the city nor bullied the weak—an attitude nothing like bandits at all.There’s something strange about this group!
