The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1452: Chapter 1452: This Kid Has Hidden Pretty Deeply

Zaid Compton’s expression changed.

He hadn’t anticipated that so many people would step forward and openly support Carson Flores.

What was happening?

Flynn Reid and Morgan Knight also looked visibly shocked; the ones stepping forward weren’t just Sect elders but also Sect Masters. Though these Sects weren’t particularly powerful, most of these individuals possessed True Immortal strength.

With so many supporting Carson Flores, how could they possibly deal with him?

Selah Ellison Fairy tilted her head to look at Carson Flores, her gaze revealing a hint of curiosity.

Wasn’t Carson Flores only in his thirties?

Wasn’t he a Loose Cultivator?

Why would so many people step forward to help him?

Though curious, she remained silent, merely watching with interest.

Carson Flores smiled, cupping his hands in gratitude, and said, ”Thank you all for your support; I am deeply grateful.”

Eli Roth chuckled and replied, ”You saved our lives; this is but a small matter, not worth mentioning.”

Zaid Compton’s face changed further, saved their lives?

Carson Flores saved so many lives by himself?

Wasn’t Carson Flores just a Human Immortal?

All of these individuals were True Immortals. How had he managed to save their lives?

Someone familiar in the crowd couldn’t help but ask, ”Eli Roth, what is going on? Why do you say he is your savior?”

Eli Roth laughed and explained, ”Eastflow Cave Master Bryan Gross hosted a longevity banquet, setting up a lethal trap to imprison all of us and refine the guests into Essence Blood to aid his breakthrough. At the critical moment, Carson Flores struck down Bryan Gross with a single sword, saving all of us. If not for him, we would have long been refined into Essence Blood and consumed by Bryan Gross...”

The surrounding crowd let out exclamations of shock.

”Though the Eastflow Cave isn’t very influential, Bryan Gross, titled the Eastflow Ancestor, had Peak Golden Immortal strength. Struck down with a single sword?”

”That’s impossible! Even a Heavenly Immortal might not be able to slay a Peak Golden Immortal in one strike!”

Zaid Compton’s complexion shifted drastically, his gaze toward Carson Flores now filled with fear and apprehension.

Beside him, Flynn Reid and Morgan Knight exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock and dread in each other’s eyes.

The two of them had crossed paths with Carson Flores before, and he hadn’t displayed the terrifying ability to slay a Golden Immortal. Was it because he’d already used up such techniques, or because he deemed them unworthy of such efforts?

If it were the former, that might still be acceptable. But if it were the latter, should the two of them count themselves lucky that they hadn’t been able to suppress Carson Flores and he had managed to escape easily?

If he hadn’t escaped, would he then have unleashed his ultimate techniques and annihilated the two of them with a single strike?

Peak Golden Immortal couldn’t withstand him; what could the two of them hope to do?

Selah Ellison Fairy’s gaze toward Carson Flores grew increasingly astonished.

What kind of abilities did this young man actually possess?

So many True Immortals corroborating this story clearly left no room for doubt. If she had acted out of anger toward Carson Flores back then, would she too have faced that terrifying strike capable of erasing a Peak Golden Immortal?

This young man had hidden himself well.

Carson Flores naturally noticed Selah Ellison Fairy’s peculiar expression, but now wasn’t the time for explanations. Fortunately, her gaze contained neither anger nor animosity but mostly curiosity.

Zaid Compton dared not make a sound, his gaze instinctively drifting to two men and a woman standing not far off to the right.

A middle-aged man, a young man, and a young woman, all clothed in white robes with an emblem of a Flying Sword riding the wind on their chest.

Infinite Sword Sect!

The young man, Bowen Tate, was the True Disciple of Infinite Sword Sect’s Sect Master Ian Hartman, as well as the Sect’s Saint Heir, a position of great prestige. The woman, his junior sister Angela Compton, was also a True Disciple of the Sect’s senior ranks.

The middle-aged man was Bowen Tate’s elder uncle, Carlos Brock, who accompanied Bowen Tate specifically for protection. After all, as the Saint Heir—the most outstanding successor of a Sect—traveling beyond the Sect’s grounds was fraught with danger and targeting from adversaries, increasing the risk of premature demise.

As the disciple of Heavenly Sword Bank Austin, Carson Flores had received the Heavenly Sword Inheritance, which made him a frequent target of enemies who sought to eliminate him before his potential was fully realized.

Carson Flores’ initial reason for venturing out was merely to celebrate a longevity banquet, where risk seemed minimal. Yet even then, Lance Matthews provided Carson Flores with three magical treasures for self-defense. Who could have predicted that a simple banquet would stir up such a storm?

Bowen Tate noticed Zaid Compton’s gaze. He turned his head slightly and gave him a subtle shake of the head.

Zaid Compton took the hint, though he was slightly disappointed. He understood well enough that this was not the time or place to escalate matters.

Under the watchful eyes of all, with so many backing Carson Flores, how could they possibly strike openly?

Whether they could kill him was another question; even if they could, wouldn’t that unnecessarily invite animosity from so many Sects because of Carson Flores?

Zaid Compton coldly declared, ”Carson Flores, this matter will not end here!”

Carson Flores smiled calmly, ignoring him.

Such enmity, once forged, could hardly be so easily resolved.

Future encounters would inevitably bring another reckoning, until one side finally surrendered completely.

The moment Zaid Compton’s words fell, the celestial glow rising from Divine Brilliance Tower suddenly dissipated, and with a scraping sound, its grand doors swung open.

A figure appeared at the entrance, stepping out from behind the door.

Everyone’s gaze converged on that figure; Carson Flores looked over and was instantly astonished.
