The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1298: Chapter 1298: The Secret Hidden Behind

”Are there any other newcomers here besides me?”

Carson Flores asked innocently, ”That person can undergo the Ascension Ceremony, his Immortal Fate must be good too, right?”

Kobe Tate didn’t think too much and answered offhandedly: ”That person was found outside under the Immortals’ orders, her Immortal Fate Test result was very good as well, a strong red light, but still quite less than yours.”

”The Ascension Ceremony can only accommodate one person at a time and consumes innumerable resources. Surely priority is given to the one with the best Immortal Fate, most suitable for the Ascension Ceremony. So by rule, it should be you first.”

Carson Flores looked genuinely surprised: ”That’s great, thank you, Special Envoy!”

Kobe Tate sized up Carson Flores, his eyes burning with fervor and obvious envy.

”Don’t mention it, after all, we are all one family now. Continue drinking, I must return to report.”

After Kobe Tate left, the previously quiet scene suddenly exploded into excitement.

”Two red lights in succession for Immortal Fate, this luck is way too good.”

”Brother Lin, congratulations, congratulations!”

”Becoming an Immortal, do not forget us now.”

People all around raised their drinks to Carson Flores; the atmosphere was lively, but Carson Flores always felt something was a bit off.

They were indeed celebrating, but it seemed not for him.

Their mouths were congratulating him, but in their glances exchanged, there was a strange consensus, as if everyone understood but Carson Flores did not.

Carson Flores responded politely, but his mind was pondering. He concluded that all the oddities and twists were linked to that Ascension Ceremony.

A sudden boost in power?

Becoming an Immortal?

Snatching people from outside to enhance their power and help them become Immortals?

That’s too good to be true!

That night, everybody had a great time drinking, Dillon Bernard drank the most and appeared extremely excited.

”We’ve waited so long, finally it’s happening. If the boss succeeds this time, we should be able to leave this place too, feeling really great today...”

Dillon Bernard had not finished his sentence when the faces of the people around him all changed.

A man next to him quickly glanced at Carson Flores, grabbed Dillon Bernard, and said loudly: ”Who doesn’t want to go out, but going out means memory loss and reduced lifespan. Are you willing though...”

Dillon Bernard’s expression paused, he seemed to come back to his senses, laughed loudly: ”That’s right, can’t have both fish and bear’s paw, ah, drank too much, you guys drink, I’m leaving!”

Carson Flores acted as if he hadn’t heard, chatting happily with Ellis Baker and Ameer James, but a huge doubt arose in his heart.

Boss?

Success?

Leaving here?

Who is their boss?

Carson Flores increasingly felt that the place was filled with oddities, everyone seemed very enthusiastic towards him, like a utopian welcoming committee, but they also seemed to secretly agree to hide something from him.

Sadly, Carson Flores couldn’t leave!

He still needed to find a chance to rescue Shirley Miller!

Even knowing there’s a conspiracy, he had no choice but to endure, as the place was full of Demi Immortals, and though he possessed great Combat Power, he couldn’t beat any of them.

Carson Flores pressed all his doubts to the bottom of his heart and settled in Wuyou Village.

Nothing happened that night, and in the morning of the next day, Ameer James came to find him.

”The Ascension Ceremony will begin in three days.”

Carson Flores confirmed: ”Is it me going first, or the other person?”

”The Immortal said you have a good chance of becoming an Immortal, resources are prioritized for you.”

Carson Flores beamed with a broad smile: ”Thank you so much!”

Ameer James laughed: ”With your Immortal Fate, even if not an Immortal, you’re a Demi Immortal, we are all one family, no need for courtesy.”

Carson Flores strolled around Wuyou Village, but found that the people who were enthusiastic just the other day suddenly became busy and vanished without a trace. Occasionally bumping into someone, they would just greet and hurry away.

Three days passed in a flash, early in the morning, Kobe Tate and Ameer James came knocking.

”The Ascension Ceremony is ready, come with us.”

”Sure, it’s troublesome.”

Carson Flores followed the two men, leaping up and heading toward the back mountain beyond Wuyou Village.

Carson Flores looked down, and suddenly his scalp tingled.

All the previously missing people suddenly appeared, standing at their doorways, watching him with an almost eerie smile.

Carson Flores suppressed his inner turmoil and laughed: ”Why is everyone out today?”

Kobe Tate glanced around, frowned, and turned back laughing: ”They are all envious of you, including me. We may be Demi Immortals, but we are not true Immortals. But you have a good chance of becoming a true Immortal and transcending this world.”

Carson Flores rubbed his hands: ”I appreciate your good words.”

Kobe Tate chuckled and turned, continuing to lead the way.

At that moment, Carson Flores saw a hint of mockery in Kobe Tate’s eyes.

Carson Flores felt heavy-hearted, always feeling as if he was walking towards an Abyss, but thinking of Shirley Miller, he felt a surge of immense courage.

Even if it’s a den of dragons and tigers, he must venture in!

The trio arrived at the back mountain, a giant cave entrance over a hundred meters high appeared before Carson Flores.

”Follow me.”

Carson Flores nodded, took a deep breath, and flew towards the giant cave entrance like entering the gaping maw of a fierce beast.
