The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2288: Chapter 2288: Nobody Wants to Be Robbed Every Day

Lucas White took out three space rings, a slight hint of pride on his face: ”Although they set prohibitions on the space rings, it can’t stump us disciples from the Heavenly God Sect. I’ve already broken them open, and now they have nothing to do with their original owners.”

Carson Flores couldn’t help but ask curiously: ”Those who can hold these space rings and manage all the gains are obviously people of high status and great strength in the sects. Although you, White, are a Peak Great Land Profound Immortal, you’re ultimately not a Supreme Immortal. How did you manage it without anyone noticing?”

Lucas White laughed: ”The divine skills of the Heavenly God Sect can break through spatial restrictions, silently stealing or swapping items without a trace. Of course, if the target is formidable, then it requires using words or actions to disrupt their perception, divert their attention, and stir their emotions. Acting in such a situation greatly increases the success rate.”

”Stealing, whether from mortals or immortals, works the same way. Mortal thieves have ways to shield mortal perception, and immortals have ways to shield immortal perception. The absolute skills of the Heavenly God Sect, when mastered to a profound extent, can steal objects through space, even through formations, making your belongings disappear without a trace.”

Carson Flores gave a thumbs up: ”Even the Supreme Immortal can’t defend against you, incredible!”

Lucas White chuckled: ”No matter how skilled, it’s just thievery. Success is great, escape is still fine, but if caught, it can be very tragic.”

Carson Flores frowned and said: ”If disciples from the Heavenly God Sect are caught, will they be killed by the other party?”

Lucas White shook his head: ”Most likely not, but they’ll surely suffer a lot.”

Carson Flores was quite surprised: ”After all that, why don’t they just kill you?”

Lucas White had undisguised pride in his eyes: ”If they’re confident they can kill someone silently, make someone disappear without a trace, then sure, they would love to kill us. But if we’ve already sent out the news of being caught, they’d be cautious because no one wants thieves at their doorstep every day.”

Carson Flores’s expression turned rather curious, could it really work this way?

Is stealing actually a threat?

Lucas White explained with a grin: ”If we’re caught, before we’re actually captured, we ensure the news of whose stuff we stole and who caught us gets out. If the other party is powerful and not afraid of the Heavenly God Sect, then we’re as good as dead.”

”But if the other party isn’t so strong and is wary of the Heavenly God Sect, then we have a chance to survive. Usually, in such a situation, we’d endure a lot of physical suffering but wouldn’t die. In the end, we’d pay a ransom several times the value of what we stole to get out, and make a Heavenly Oath to not approach their forces or seek revenge, thus ending the feud.”

Carson Flores realized that for those whose items were stolen, if Heavenly God Sect disciples failed and were caught, they actually suffered no loss. Rather than enrage the thieves and make a sworn enemy out of the Heavenly God Sect, it’s better to vent and extort a hefty sum to completely resolve the feud.

For those who were successfully stolen from, the Heavenly God Sect disciples would disappear quickly. Finding them wouldn’t be easy, and such stories being spread would only disgrace their sects, so most probably they’d investigate privately or let it go.

The Heavenly God Sect certainly is a miraculous sect, reaching such a level in thievery, truly impressive.

Lucas White handed three space rings to Carson Flores: ”This exploration lasted long enough, and the harvest is quite bountiful. There’s especially twelve Void Lotus Herbs among them, which are very useful to both of us. We’ll split them in half, and you can have a look if there’s anything else you need. If not, we’ll just divide the rest somewhat.”

Twelve!

That’s quite a lot.

On second thought, although I have Crimson Mad as a ”glitch”, making it easier to find Void Lotus Herb, it’s still just me alone, making the search not as speedy. Whereas the combined explorers of the three sects number in the thousands, their speed is incomparable to mine.

Carson Flores hesitated, then replied frankly: ”For the half year since splitting up at Crimson Mad’s suppression site, I’ve been searching for Void Lotus Herb with Crimson Mad. I’ve found quite a few already, so you keep these, I won’t take a share.”

Lucas White shook his head, swiftly divided six Void Lotus Herbs, and tossed six boxes directly to Carson Flores.

”A deal’s a deal. What you found is through your own effort, so it’s all yours. But what I got is partly thanks to you, so we must share. How we should split, we will.”

”If it weren’t for you telling me about this, I wouldn’t find even one, let alone six. I’m currently stuck at a bottleneck, and these Void Lotus Herbs can help me break through, promoting me to a Supreme Immortal. You’ve indeed helped me a lot...”
