The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1343: Chapter 1343: Tommy Bernard, we meet again.

”Crack!”

Lightning from the Nine Heavens thundered down, and the one undergoing Tribulation Crossing in the sky let out a tragic scream, instantly struck down from the Nine Heavens. Their body turned to ash in a flash, the Primordial Spirit having no chance to escape, swiftly devoured by the raging lightning.

Reduced to ashes and smoke.

Dead, with their path extinguished.

Cries of shock arose from the onlooking crowd, but there wasn’t much chaos.

One by one, individuals attempted Ascension; some succeeded, others failed. Initially, onlookers were shocked when they saw someone fail their Tribulation Crossing and disintegrate into ash, but as more attempts were witnessed, they grew numb to it. After all, everyone knew all too well that the success rate of Ascension through Tribulation was not that high.

Ascension to Immortal status, how could it be easy?

A hundred miles away on a mountain peak, the Demon Emperor eyed Carson Flores curiously, ”Why haven’t you Ascended yet?”

Carson Flores said with a smile, ”Waiting for someone.”

The Demon Emperor casually asked, ”Waiting for whom, your wife?”

Carson Flores shook his head, ”They’ve already stabilized their Realms and nearly finished comprehending. They can Ascend at any time; they are waiting for me.”

The Demon Emperor became even more curious, ”Then who are you waiting for?”

Carson Flores grinned, without answering, and instead asked, ”What about you? If you’re not Ascending, who are you waiting for?”

The Demon Emperor replied with a chuckle, ”I want to see you Ascend first. If you fail, at least I’ll have a good laugh.”

Carson Flores laughed, ”Then I’m afraid you’re going to be disappointed.”

Cristopher Hopkins Immortal had Delarosa bring a bottle of Tribulation Pills, an elixir that doesn’t enhance strength but significantly increases resistance to lightning, indirectly raising the odds of surviving the Heavenly Tribulation.

Those around Carson Flores, every one of them either gifted with incredible talent or possessing astounding strength, Carson Flores didn’t think they would perish under the Heavenly Tribulation.

The Demon Emperor’s demeanor was calm, ”No rush, we’ve been here for so many years, a little longer doesn’t make a difference.”

While they were conversing, Jorge Gross flew over.

”Chairman Flores, he’s here, doing the registration for the Ascension appointment.”

Carson Flores laughed heartily, ”He’s quite in a hurry. I actually thought I might not catch him. Well, it’s good, all this waiting won’t be in vain.”

The Demon Emperor asked with curiosity, ”Who is it?”

Carson Flores replied, ”The Kahdas Son, Bryant James with an Innate Taoist Body.”

The Demon Emperor was shocked, ”Why wait for him?”

Carson Flores turned his head, looked at the Demon Emperor, and uttered two words.

”Kill him!”

The expression of the Demon Emperor was one of surprise, as it was clear he did not understand why Carson Flores, as the Human Emperor, would want to eliminate the Human Race’s only Innate Taoist Body.

Was it a grudge?

The Demon Emperor, full of anticipation, stood up to follow Carson Flores – he was ready to witness an intriguing show.

Carson Flores followed Jorge Gross back to the Human Race Alliance office and saw Bryant James stepping out of a building with a man trailing behind him.

Carson Flores recognized him – it was the perpetrator behind the upheaval in Rajevols, one of the three Celestial Envoys from Mystical Immortal Island, Kobe Tate.

If Kobe Tate was there, then it was clear Bryant James had been possessed.

This proud scion of the heavens must have never imagined that his end would come in the form of being possessed by another.

Bryant James, no, Tommy Bernard just stepped out of the door when he noticed Carson Flores approaching, his expression instantly changing.

He had previously had Kobe Tate inquire about Carson Flores, who supposedly had left the area long ago. Why was he here now?

Although taken aback, Tommy Bernard was not too frightened. He was aware of Carson Flores’s formidable strength, possessing the might of a Demi Immortal, but now he was the bona fide Primordial Spirit of an Earth Immortal, albeit affected by his current body, his power surely shouldn’t be inferior to that of Carson Flores, right?

The reason he wasn’t scared was that he’d been recently secluded in intensive cultivation, oblivious to the outside world, ignorant of the incident with Mrs. Li’s murder, and unaware that the entire Mystical Immortal Island had been obliterated by the Ghost Tower.

If he knew these two facts, he probably would have turned tail and run as his first instinct.

At this moment, on the barren fields, there were many top-tier experts who had come to cross their Tribulations. Since the Sky-reaching Formation could only allow one Cultivator to undergo Tribulation at a time, they all had to queue up.

These individuals registered and queued up at the office of the Human Race Alliance, then waited there for their Ascension. Fearing they might miss their slot, they generally didn’t stray far.

Seeing Carson Flores reappear, all eyes landed on him in unison.

Tommy Bernard gave a respectful bow, ”Long time no see!”

Carson Flores glared at Tommy Bernard and said with a smile, ”How the tides turn, it’s truly fascinating. Tommy Bernard, oh Tommy Bernard, even if you don’t recognize my face, you should at least recognize these eyes. On Mystical Immortal Island, didn’t you want to devour my flesh and blood? How come you’re being so courteous now, upon seeing me?”

Tommy Bernard’s complexion drastically changed, his heart pounding intensely.

What’s happening?

How could Carson Flores possibly know that he had possessed Bryant James?

The surrounding powerhouses were also perplexed. Wasn’t this Bryant James, the Kahdas Son? Why was Carson Flores calling him Tommy Bernard?

Who was Tommy Bernard?

Surrounded by so many formidable beings, and not yet an Immortal himself, Tommy Bernard suddenly felt a flicker of dread.

”Chairman Flores, what are you talking about? I don’t understand your meaning. Tommy Bernard, what’s that?”

Carson Flores chuckled, ”Tommy Bernard, if you don’t recognize this face, you should recognize these eyes. Weren’t you eager to eat my flesh and drink my blood on Mystical Immortal Island? How come now that you see me, you’ve become so polite?”
