The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1676: Chapter 1676: I Like Dealing with Smart People

In the second stone chamber, the battle had already come to a halt.

All the disciples of the Mountain Ridge Monarchy Sect sat slumped on the ground, eyes filled with reluctance.

They all had their Sea of Consciousness sealed by a Secret Technique, now rendered no different from ordinary people.

Beckett Compton wore a dark expression; he hadn’t been defeated by the young man in black, but couldn’t withstand the combined assault of the crowd and was ultimately captured.

He had originally counted on the number of Mountain Ridge Monarchy Sect disciples to take all the important treasures during the struggle, but unexpectedly, they were eliminated first.

He absolutely hated that young man in black; if it weren’t for him, those people might not have been united and coerced.

The young man in black ignored the unwilling and hateful stares of the Mountain Ridge Monarchy Sect disciples and addressed the remaining people, ”Now it’s up to us. Considering our partnership just now, if anyone is unwilling to join the upcoming struggle, they may choose to exit, temporarily seal their Sea of Consciousness, and sit aside. Those remaining will not trouble them further, and they will be taken away when it’s over.”

In the crowd, several injured individuals who could no longer fight stepped forward, choosing to accept the Sea of Consciousness seal. After all, if they continued fighting, they would certainly be the first targets to be eliminated, so they might as well give up and avoid worsening their injuries.

After confirming these individuals had their Sea of Consciousness sealed, the young man in black scanned the crowd and looked at Carson Flores with a somewhat dangerous gaze.

”You are three people, one Earth Immortal, two Peak True Immortals...”

With a simple sentence, all the remaining adventurers focused their eyes on Carson Flores, revealing undisguised hostility and eagerness.

Carson Flores smirked coldly; this guy was indeed a master at manipulating hearts.

In a few words, he organized all the solitary adventurers to defeat the strongest disciples of the Mountain Ridge Monarchy Sect, simultaneously weakening the alliance of many adventurers and enhancing his own advantage.

Now he had set his sights on Carson, since currently, Carson and his group of three were the strongest small group relative to other solitary adventurers present.

He planned to repeat his trick, leveraging everyone’s power to eliminate Carson, the biggest opponent.

”Using everyone to defeat potential opponents, weakening everyone’s strength, then standing out alone to win the final victory, treating everyone as your tools — you play borrowing the knife to kill very smoothly!”

Carson’s words immediately unsettle many people, who instinctively look towards the young man in black.

The young man in black remained unperturbed and said coldly, ”Yes, I indeed have my goals, but at least we are all individuals, it’s fair, isn’t it?”

Carson laughed.

This guy indeed thought quickly; he was right. Everything he did was considered an open scheme, utilizing the loneliness and lack of confidence in their strength of solitary individuals to defeat all powerful opponents.

Though they understood, they could only follow his train of thought; otherwise, the minority would surely be swept away by the majority first!

Coercion!

Carson calmly pointed at the True Solar Fire, ”I will not participate in the struggle for True Solar Fire; you can proceed as you wish, don’t mind us.”

The young man in black sneered, ”Not participating in the struggle — do you think we can believe that?”

Carson responded indifferently, ”Treasures are precious, but my life is more valuable. I just want to leave here safely; I don’t want to lose my life over this.”

Someone in the crowd snorted, ”You’re just delaying, aren’t you? Once someone absorbs the True Solar Fire and receives the Sun True Scripture’s inheritance, others can naturally leave safely!”

Carson glanced at the person and said calmly, ”Having a simple heart is truly a good thing.”

The individual retorted angrily, ”What do you mean by that?”

Carson chuckled and sat down cross-legged in the corner, ”I still say the same thing: I won’t participate in the struggle for True Solar Fire; you’re free to do as you wish. Of course, if you insist on eliminating me first, then be ready for your form and spirit to perish together.”

”I won’t accept being sealed in Sea of Consciousness waiting to die; I might not be a match for all of you, but I can easily self-detonate my Primordial Spirit and take some of you down with me.”

”I’ve said my piece; do as you wish!”

Carson’s words weren’t harsh, but from Carson’s calm tone, everyone felt a non-negotiable resolve, where the Jade Stone would shatter alongside them.

Isn’t it just defeating you, disqualifying you?

As for self-detonating Primordial Spirit, perishing together?

Although this space is large, if a True Immortal Peak powerhouse indeed successfully self-detonates the Primordial Spirit, how many could withstand it?

Everyone hesitated for a moment, looking towards the young man in black.

The young man in black stared at Carson, frowning, while Carson remained calm, fearless.

The young man in black suddenly took a step forward.

June Weiss and Mona Briggs stepped forward, blocking him from either side.

The young man in black no longer approached and squatted down on the spot.

”Talk?”

Carson grinned, ”Sure, you’re a smart guy; I like dealing with smart people...”
