The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2308: Chapter 2308: This Young Man Is Connected to Dragon Mountain

Sea God Island?

May 15th?

Carson Flores noted the date. If he met Alfred Weaver and others, and had free time, it wouldn’t hurt to go and have a look.

Although it had nothing to do with him, watching the battle involving outstanding individuals could be quite entertaining.

As for cultivation?

Why hurry?

The reason Carson Flores wanted to settle down with everyone, establish a Cave Mansion, and open his own portal was for freedom.

If he felt like wandering, he’d wander wherever, be it travel or visiting friends, or just aimlessly wandering around; he’d go as he pleased.

Freedom!

Cultivation?

Does cultivation have an end?

No!

Since that’s the case, why rush?

After fighting for so many years, can’t he enjoy life a little?

”When I find my friends, and if there’s time, I’ll definitely come to watch and cheer for you on site.”

”Sure!”

Though Master Youhe didn’t understand why Fellow Flores attracted Uncle Floating Cloud, he maintained enough friendliness and goodwill towards Carson Flores, who might someday become his senior uncle.

No one knew when Carson Flores might suddenly have an epiphany and change his mind.

No matter what kind of person Carson Flores was, if he became the disciple of Floating Cloud, then he naturally would be an important figure of Dragon Cloud Mountain. After all, he would inherit Floating Cloud’s teachings, and Floating Cloud was the only one who truly understood the Dragon Mountain Cloud Dream Art, making him the strongest force of Dragon Cloud Mountain.

In short, given this connection, no matter what Carson Flores ultimately chooses, he wouldn’t be an enemy.

Selah Ellison did not partake in gambling. She quietly sat beside Carson Flores, watching as he chatted with Master Youhe while gambling absentmindedly.

”Alright, I’ve had my fill of gambling for today; for the last round, I’m all in.”

”Eight million Spirit Stones, big!”

Master Youhe pushed all eight million Spirit Stone chips in front of him into the big box, then turned and laughed: ”Fellow Flores, win or lose, it’s all on this one, you decide.”

Carson Flores glanced at the chips in front of him, laughed: ”I definitely trust you.”

Carson Flores shoved approximately fourteen million chips in together, betting big along with Master Youhe.

Soon, everyone finished betting.

”Place your bets, no more bets.”

”Open!”

”Three, five, six, big!”

Selah Ellison’s eyes brightened, she chuckled: ”Won!”

Carson Flores laughed: ”Thanks to my fellow for leading the way well. This evening, I’ll treat the fellows of Dragon Cloud Mountain... and those from Wuling Mountain and Phoenix Snow Mountain to dinner. I’ve heard the food here is quite good, Master Youhe, how about it?”

Master Youhe was naturally willing to form ties with Carson Flores because he heard Floating Cloud’s comment that ”this kid has a connection with Dragon Mountain.” Otherwise, why would Master Youhe divulge so much information to someone he’d just met?

This information wasn’t exactly confidential. As long as you reach that level and enter that circle, a casual inquiry would reveal it. But if you weren’t, why would it be shared with you?

Master Youhe treated Carson Flores as one of his own, hence the warmth. Otherwise, would you think the disciples of the Dragon Cloud Mountain Sect Leader were so easy-going and good-tempered to the point of sharing heartfelt words after just a brief chat?

”I’m personally okay with it. I’ll ask them later to see if they’re willing, but I can’t guarantee the outcome.”

Carson Flores chuckled: ”Naturally.”

Master Youhe gathered his chips without exchanging them, then reached out to pat Carson Flores on the shoulder: ”Let’s exchange marks. I’ll confirm and message you later.”

”Sure!”

Once you reach the Great Land Supreme level, a Communication Stone is far less reliable than a mark you leave yourself. Having this mark allows for positioning, messaging, and such, provided the other party allows your mark to stay on them.

Master Youhe and a Taoist next to him turned and left the gambling hall, while Carson Flores received the chips compensated to him.

”Twenty-eight million Spirit Stones—earned quite a lot.”

Carson Flores threw a large pile of chips into a chip box, turning to Selah Ellison: ”Do you want to play a bit?”

Selah Ellison shook her head: ”I’m not interested in this.”

Carson Flores laughed: ”Indeed, gambling with the dealer lacks the excitement of betting against others. It’s purely for winning or losing, hence a bit bland. However, we’re here just to experience it, so it doesn’t really matter.”

The two stood up, strolling along the aisle, looking around at various gambling tables.

Selric Roth came over, glanced at the chips in Carson Flores’s box, and exclaimed: ”Wow, Fellow Flores, you’ve won quite a bit.”

Carson Flores laughed: ”Bought it from someone, pure profit.”

Selric Roth made a face: ”I don’t have luck as good as yours; lost everything in just a few rounds.”

Carson Flores pushed the chip box forward: ”Want to try flipping it?”

Selric Roth was slightly surprised, but quickly declined decisively: ”Bad luck means betting less. I’m really just here for fun, a bit of a gambling itch but not much. By the way, I saw you chatting quite happily with the Taoist sitting next to you.”

Carson Flores hummed in agreement, smiled: ”A Taoist from Dragon Cloud Mountain. We have some connections, hence chatted a bit more.”

Selric Roth’s eyes sparkled. That Taoist was part of the visiting delegation, his status couldn’t be low, and Carson Flores actually had connections with him?
