The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1614: Chapter 1614: Either Be a Guest or a Captive

Carson Flores had interacted with the Heavenly Alliance three times, and he was deeply impressed by their mask-wearing style.

The white-haired man Carson Flores had slain, even until his death, Carson didn’t know his identity.

When the disciples of the Heavenly Alliance mobilized, each would wear a mask. The masks of low-level disciples were plain and unadorned, purely colored without patterns, whereas the masks of higher-ranking disciples would have patterns.

Carson, combining with the previous two incidents, speculated that the Heavenly Alliance categorizes their ranks based on strength. Disciples below Golden Immortal strength wore plain masks, Golden Immortal strength disciples had masks with a few patterns, while Heavenly Immortal strength disciples had masks with more intricate and vivid patterns, clearly indicating their high status.

The number of people intercepting the Flying Boat wasn’t large, but judging by the mask patterns, the leader was a Heavenly Immortal, with six or seven Golden Immortals, and the rest were below Golden Immortal.

Carson’s heart sank. If Cora Tate wasn’t injured, who would dare to come?

Wouldn’t that be suicide?

Now, this group dared to act so boldly, surrounding the Flying Boat. This could only mean one thing: they already knew Cora Tate was seriously injured, unconscious, or couldn’t forcefully intervene at all.

How did they confirm it?

The person who knew Cora Tate’s injuries best is undoubtedly Leland Conley, after all, he was the one who injured her. Aside from Leland Conley, who else?

Zou Manhua?

She suddenly appeared earlier, provocatively taunting the Thousand Flowers Palace, and even wanted to abduct me in front of them. Ultimately, since Cora Tate didn’t show up, and I had to flee for my life, this indirectly proves that whether or not Cora Tate regained consciousness, she certainly didn’t have the capability to take action.

If Cora Tate could take action, how could she just watch as Zou Manhua ran wild and abducted me?

Even though I’m not from the Thousand Flowers Palace, I’m still the husband of core disciple Shirley Miller, sitting on the Thousand Flowers Palace’s Flying Boat and got abducted—wouldn’t that be a slap in the face to the Thousand Flowers Palace?

Zou Manhua joined the Heavenly Alliance?

Was her previous behavior to scout for the Heavenly Alliance, probing whether Cora Tate could take action?

In the blink of an eye, countless thoughts flowed through Carson’s mind like water. He knew that this calamity would not be easily overcome.

Meanwhile, Jonah Arnold stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the suddenly appearing masked group as if facing a formidable enemy: ”Who are you?”

The tall, thin man spoke calmly: ”The Heavenly Alliance, here to invite the Thousand Flowers Palace to join the alliance.”

Jonah Arnold had never heard of the Heavenly Alliance and frowned: ”Heavenly Alliance, what kind of power is that? I’ve never heard of it!”

The tall, thin man said in a deep voice, ”I am the Black Cloth Blood Envoy under the Heavenly Alliance, overseeing the affairs of the Divine Flame Continent. Today, I sincerely invite each of you to join the alliance.”

Jonah Arnold said in a deep voice, ”Even if you want to invite Juliet Lane into the Heavenly Alliance, you should come to our Thousand Flowers Palace headquarters for a proper discussion. Blocking our way like this, how can anyone be convinced?”

The tall, thin man smiled faintly: ”If Cora Tate wasn’t injured, how would we dare to come and invite you? I advise you all not to resist and surrender quietly. I guarantee you won’t be harmed, but if you resist, I cannot guarantee that you won’t be hurt in the fight.”

Jonah Arnold was worried in his heart but still responded calmly: ”You wear masks and don’t even dare to show your true faces; how can that convince anyone?”

The tall, thin man’s voice turned cold: ”Elder Jonah, we both understand the current situation, so let’s not waste words. You now have only two options before you. First, surrender willingly, and we will courteously take you back. Second, refuse to surrender, and we will defeat you, capture you, and drag you back!”

”The rules of our Heavenly Alliance have always been that those who follow me will prosper, and those who resist will perish. I’m giving you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to consider. After that, I will initiate an attack, and the outcome then will not be good.”

”All you ladies of the Thousand Flowers Palace, each like a flower, and my subordinates are all strong men, like wolves and tigers. Hmm, after resisting, what fate you might face, you know it yourselves!”

Jonah Arnold’s face changed dramatically, eyes full of rage, yet she was helpless.

A Peak Golden Immortal stands no chance before a Heavenly Immortal, utterly vulnerable!

What to do?

The ancestor is still on the ship; if the ancestor were captured by the opponent, it would be the shame of the Thousand Flowers Palace, possibly even forcing the Thousand Flowers Palace into submission since the ancestor is the Palace’s anchor. Without the support of the ancestor, the Thousand Flowers Palace wouldn’t stand a chance against this pack of wolves and tigers from the Heavenly Alliance.

Shirley Miller quickly walked out, softly saying: ”Elder, let’s go back and discuss it further before making a decision.”

Jonah Arnold turned to look at Shirley Miller, only to find Shirley Miller with a profound look in her eyes, winking at her.

Jonah Arnold turned back and said, ”Wait a moment, I need to consult with the ancestor.”

The tall, thin man laughed heartily: ”Cora Tate? Haha, if I’m not wrong, she’s probably still unconscious. If she were awake, she wouldn’t have remained silent for so long while I’ve said so much outside.”

”No matter what tricks you play, you have the time of an incense stick to burn. If you don’t surrender, I’ll initiate an attack, and you’ll bear the consequences!”
