The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Capítulo 2024: Chapter 2024: Aren’t We Friends?

Harold James didn’t recognize the young man, but seeing Aiden Roth’s shocked face, he couldn’t help but ask, “Aiden, who is he?”

Aiden Roth didn’t respond to him, just stared intently at the young man ahead, his voice filled with undisguised excitement, “What are you doing here?”

The young man grinned, “Came to find you, of course.”

Aiden Roth was dumbfounded, flashed to the young man’s front, and whispered, “How did you sneak in, are you out of your mind!”

The young man was, of course, Carson Flores. He gave a slight smile, turning to fly forward alongside Aiden Roth.

Although some people noticed Carson Flores, they didn’t recognize him. With the bustling crowds, who would care about an additional person suddenly appearing?

“Did you guys just pass that mountain peak? I joined your group when you passed by.”

Aiden Roth was flabbergasted. This guy was too brazen, his guts immense.

“Aren’t you afraid of being recognized?”

Carson Flores laughed, “Back at The Great Desolate Ancient Battlefield, plenty of people did see me, but most people here haven’t been to the battlefield. I managed to conceal my appearance earlier; no one should notice.”

Everyone is a captive, all surrendered war slaves, with Celestial Horse Knights overseeing. Who would bother to meddle in others’ affairs?

Carson Flores looked around and laughed, “There are quite a few from Ghost King Tomb here. I just inquired a little and got your location. You’re a ghostly figure here, everyone knows you. Finding you was pretty easy.”

Aiden Roth looked at Carson Flores, smiling, with eyes filled with confusion and disbelief, “Why did you risk your life sneaking in here?”

Carson Flores answered softly, “On one hand, I wanted to understand the thoughts of these thousands of immortals up close; on the other, I came to see if you’d be willing to leave with me. Yeah, I’m here to rescue you.”

Harold James, overhearing their conversation, couldn’t help but ask, “Who exactly are you?”

Aiden Roth’s expression was complex as he transmitted his voice, “He’s Carson Flores, the Immortal Palace Envoy who repeatedly embarrassed the Heavenly Alliance. He’s a friend I made earlier.”

Carson Flores?

Harold James’s eyes widened too. Although he didn’t participate in The Great Desolate Ancient Battlefield, he had heard about Carson Flores’s deeds and knew that Aiden Roth and Carson Flores were friends.

At The Great Desolate Ancient Battlefield, Aiden Roth, Edward Miller, and Evan Foster had all visited Carson Flores together, and the four of them had a great conversation, witnessed by everyone.

This guy actually snuck in?

His guts are enormous, truly unafraid of death.

If anyone recognized him and shouted out loud, would he have any chance at survival?

At the Ancient Battlefield, Carson Flores advanced to Golden Immortal. Among these thousands of immortals here, that isn’t much; even one spit from everyone could drown him.

Carson Flores laughed, “Tell me about the situation here.”

Aiden Roth stared at Carson Flores, his feelings extremely complex.

“Why did you come to rescue me?”

Carson Flores laughed, “Aren’t we friends? You’re in a bad spot, I’m here to save you. Isn’t that perfectly normal?”

Friends!

Aiden Roth’s heart surged with an inexplicable emotion. Amidst such danger, Carson Flores actually came alone, risking his life to save him!

“You really are…”

Aiden Roth didn’t finish his sentence because he suddenly didn’t know what adjective to use to express his feelings.

Really foolish?

Really naive?

Carson Flores smiled, “Don’t worry, since I’ve come, I have a way to get out. I’m not stupid enough to come here just to die.”

Hearing Carson Flores say this, Aiden Roth felt a bit comforted, but still not entirely at ease.

No matter your skills, there are thousands of immortals here. Well, forget the immortals; there’s even a Great Land Sovereign on the flying boat ahead!

A Great Land Sovereign, with vast divine skills, can you withstand that?

Aiden Roth frowned and said, “Among these thousands of immortals, most are unwilling to become war slaves, but with the Great Land Sovereign in front, no one dares to resist. Generally, everyone has resigned themselves to fate, some even rejoicing, thinking they’ve found a great backer…”

“As long as the Great Land Sovereign is around, they won’t dare to resist. The most they might do is sneak away amidst possible chaos, which would probably be the greatest act of rebellion.”

Carson Flores wasn’t surprised; he actually came and was just conveniently gathering intel.

He never expected these thousands of immortals to turn against and help the Celestial Palace against Sergio Wilkins and others.

They wouldn’t dare.

Carson Flores nodded, “What about you, what are your plans?”

Aiden Roth answered quietly, “I’m planning to run. I don’t want to be their war slave, or their cannon fodder.”

Carson Flores nodded, “Okay, I’ll take you with me later.”

Aiden Roth whispered, “They’re enforcing collective punishment. If one person escapes, everyone else from the Sect gets in trouble…”

Carson Flores nodded, “You can ask your fellow disciples. If they want to leave, I’ll take all of you. If not, I won’t force anyone.”

Aiden Roth looked at Carson Flores in surprise, “Take all of us? Can you do that?”

Carson Flores laughed, “How many people are there from Ghost King Tomb?”

Aiden Roth replied, “Nearly five hundred.”

Carson Flores confidently answered, “As long as you guys cooperate, it’s doable.”
