The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1536: Chapter 1536: No need to mind, only one of us is destined to live!

On the mountain peak, Carson Flores stopped, glanced back, then plunged into the dense forest below.

Vance Holt followed closely from behind, diving into the dense forest.

Carson Flores took out the Windroll Banner, releasing Cecilia Browning and Alfred Weaver, then directly performed the Life and Death Art, giving each a Death Imprint to mask their life aura.

Vance Holt felt his own life aura suddenly disappear, his expression surprised, and when he looked at Carson Flores again, his gaze carried a hint of change.

He never expected that amidst disaster, facing certain death, it was Carson Flores who broke the deadlock and led them to escape.

He knew where that Sword Qi came from, having seen it slash Peak True Immortals and Peak Golden Immortals, yet today’s terrifying strike still made his heart tremble.

Too powerful!

These three Sword Qis were just gifts from Alvin Bernard’s Incarnation to Carson Flores. If the Incarnation was this powerful, how strong must Alvin Bernard himself be?

Cecilia Browning sat on the ground, covered in blood, looking at Carson Flores with eyes filled with shock and shame.

Seeing Carson Flores run towards the enemy, claiming surrender, she initially believed him and felt fury. After all, in her understanding, wasn’t it normal for a cultivator to do such a thing to survive?

Her anger was because her lady had feelings for Carson Flores, yet Carson Flores seemed to betray her.

Now thinking back to her lady’s sudden shout, she realized that in her eyes it seemed like betrayal, but for her lady, she knew what Carson Flores intended to do, giving the most suitable response that distracted the enemy and allowed Carson Flores to strike successfully.

”Carson Flores, I’m sorry!”

Cecilia Browning ignored her injuries and apologized to Carson Flores first.

Carson Flores was taken aback and asked curiously, ”Why is the senior apologizing to me?”

Cecilia Browning said softly, ”Earlier when I saw you use a tactic to approach them, I thought you really feared death and betrayed the lady, surrendering willingly...”

Carson Flores understood, smiled, and said, ”Why apologize? It just shows my acting was convincing. If I can’t fool my own people, how could I fool the enemy?”

Carson Flores took out the Life Essence Pearl: ”Let me heal your wounds first.”

Carson Flores placed the Life Essence Pearl on Cecilia Browning’s body, adjusted her broken bones, and then injected a large amount of Immortal Spirit Qi.

Cecilia Browning’s wounds healed quickly. Although the Life Essence Pearl’s effect on an Immortal’s Body was greatly reduced, it was still effective, just that the healing took longer.

Cecilia Browning watched as her bones gradually mended, and the injuries to her internal organs quickly lessened, her gaze filled with wonder.

”What kind of magical treasure is this, it has excellent healing effects.”

Carson Flores replied, ”The Life Essence Pearl, a treasure from a Cultivation Sect in the Barbaric Wilderness Realm that I came across by chance.”

Alfred Weaver, familiar with Carson Flores’s methods, wasn’t surprised but instead gazed at Carson Flores, saying softly, ”I’ve burdened you this time, consuming your last means of protection...”

Carson Flores laughed, ”What burden? If you hadn’t come to find me and secretly went to the Southern Sea, you may not have been targeted. No matter the reason, we’re all fine now, and that’s what matters. As for the magical treasure and Sword Qi, we can just find them again.”

After a pause, Carson Flores added cheerfully, ”You know, I’ve always been lucky, always stumbling upon good things.”

Alfred Weaver pondered, ”When we reach the Southern Sea, even if Ellen Stone doesn’t stand with the Celestial Palace, I’ll use my father’s connections to get him to give you some protective measures.”

Carson Flores grinned, ”Like getting three more Sword Qis?”

Alfred Weaver said seriously, ”That could work, but while Ellen Stone is formidable, he’s no match for Alvin Bernard. The power of his Sword Qi is far inferior. If faced with today’s situation again, it may not overcome the enemy.”

Carson Flores shook his head, ”I’m just a nobody; there’s no reason someone that powerful would bother to try to kill me. You don’t need to worry about me. It’s best to try and have him stand with the Celestial Palace; that’s what matters.”

Alfred Weaver didn’t argue, ”Let’s wait until we meet him to decide.”

Carson Flores shifted the topic back to Maggie Fitzgerald: ”Today, Maggie led the team herself. Those people seemed to act on her orders. Are they from the Heavenly Alliance?”

”Hiding their identities, afraid to be exposed, they should be.”

Alfred Weaver said coldly, ”She clearly believes she can kill me this time; otherwise, she wouldn’t have shown herself...”

After a pause, Alfred Weaver looked at Carson Flores, concern and apology in his eyes, ”By acting today, you’ve stood against the Heavenly Alliance. You killed their Heavenly Immortal, which is a big enmity that will likely bring you endless danger...”

Carson Flores knew this was a huge problem, yet even if it were to happen a thousand times again, his decision wouldn’t change in the slightest. Hence, it wasn’t really a regret.

”Back in the Barbaric Wilderness Realm, when I saved you, from that moment, Maggie Fitzgerald and I were destined to be life-and-death enemies. She overlooked me only because she didn’t know it was I who saved you. If she found out, I’d naturally be her target, without the need for today’s events.”

Carson Flores spread his hands, his smile calm, ”You see, things were always like this; nothing changed. We and she will eventually have a final showdown, a fight to the death...”
