The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1402: Chapter 1402: The Sorrowful and Resolute Girl

The Flying Boat passed in a flash, and the Golden Light also instantly overtook Carson Flores and others, pursuing with great haste.

They fled in panic while their pursuers chased with arrogance.

Carson Flores swiftly glanced over and saw two people aboard the Flying Boat, one old and one young: the elder with white hair drenched in fresh blood, the younger about fifteen or sixteen— a girl in the blossom of youth.

There were about five or six people in pursuit, including an old man, adults of prime age, and women.

Carson Flores withdrew his gaze and continued on his way.

After progressing several hundred miles, sounds of fierce fighting suddenly came from ahead. The fight ceased after a loud bang.

”Old Steele ghost, do you think you can escape? Hand over that item, and we will spare your lives!”

”To hell with you! Even if I die, I’ll destroy it. It will never fall into the hands of you bandits!”

”Old Steele ghost, you’ve lived long enough, dying is no big loss. But your granddaughter, she just turned sixteen, right? In the prime of her youth. Would you have her die too?”

”Haha, Gia Steele, hurry up and die if you’re going to. If you want to destroy that map, just do it. Once you’re gone, the young lass will belong to me. You know, many guests fancy such blooming girls and are willing to pay a high price for them...”

”You bandits! Just for a map, you annihilated my entire Steele Family. The Family Head agreed to give you the map before, yet you still relentlessly pursued us, refusing to let us go. You are all devils!”

”Who told you to acquire what you shouldn’t have? To keep it secret, we have to send you to your deaths. If you want to blame someone, blame the ill fate of the Steele Family; something so many crave was obtained by your pitiful little clan.”

”Remember in your next life, don’t reach for what you cannot touch!”

The Flying Boat flew past the waist of a giant peak, and Carson Flores caught sight of the scene in the basin below.

The basin, embraced by mountains, had its lush forests devastated by the fierce battle. The old man and the young girl seen before were now trapped below a giant peak.

The elder’s chest had collapsed, countless bones broken, yet he still fiercely protected the young girl behind him.

The young girl in green, her delicate face showed no fear, only deep hatred.

”Don’t waste words on him, grab the girl first. He’ll hand it over if we don’t believe him!”

The elder’s body suddenly radiated a golden light as he lunged at the first middle-aged man who approached, yelling, ”Spencer, run!”

The middle-aged man’s face changed drastically: ”He’s going to self-destruct!”

The young girl in green clamped her lips tight, not hesitating for a second, she turned and ran.

Meanwhile, the others hastily retreated, struggling to widen the distance.

Carson Flores’s expression slightly changed, stretching out his hands, he directly grabbed Princess Hail and Franklin Wyatt, employing the Ground Shrinking Technique, and vanished from the spot in an instant.

”Boom!”

The Golden Light exploded, and heaven and earth trembled.

Nearby mountains collapsed like sand dunes, a massive blast wave swept outward, destroying everything in its path like a nuclear explosion.

At the center of the explosion, the middle-aged man who was close to the elder had his body shattered. His Primordial Spirit couldn’t even flee in time and was utterly destroyed in the apocalyptic blast.

The others, due to being further away combined with the elder’s provision of a moment for the girl to escape, which also gave them time to flee, were still injured by the blast to varying degrees.

Carson Flores was naturally uninjured, looking at the massive shockwave, his gaze turned somewhat grave.

What a resolute elder!

Knowing he couldn’t escape today, he took the drastic measure to destroy both himself and his enemies, creating a slim chance for the girl to escape. But Carson Flores knew that it would be difficult for her to get away.

Being so young, she could not have much strength; how could she escape from such a group of people?

As expected, after the explosion, several pursuers emerged with ashen faces, covered in dirt and grime.

”He was so determined to self-destruct, the map must not be on him!”

”Quick, pursue her!”

”Catch that girl, we can’t let her escape!”

Seeing the group turn into Golden Light and rapidly pursue in the direction the girl vanished, Carson Flores frowned, hesitated for a moment, but eventually took a step and disappeared from his spot as well.

Franklin Wyatt and Princess Hail exchanged a glance, each seeing relief in the other’s eyes.

He made a move!

That young girl in green has a chance now!

...

Tears welled up in Spencer Steele’s eyes, but she did not let them fall.

Now was not the time for sorrow.

The Steele Family was gone.

She was the only survivor of the Steele Family. If she didn’t live through this day, there would be nobody left to avenge their deaths.

What she needed to do was to escape and survive!

Carefully and swiftly, she maneuvered through the forest, constantly turning and changing direction.

She didn’t dare to fly high because her speed surely couldn’t match those chasing her. Once she exposed herself, she would immediately be caught.

Her speed was fast, like a green leopard, swiftly running through the jungle.

Seeing a mud swamp ahead, she didn’t hesitate to jump in, held her breath, and completely submerged herself into the cold muck, letting the icy mire completely envelop her body...
