The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

The seating incident was settled with just one statement from Nerisse Blaine, and the people at the table looked at Carson Flores with two more degrees of feigned enthusiasm.

Who wouldn’t, when even Nerisse Blaine praised Carson Flores for being compassionate and kind-hearted?

Soon, all the guests appeared, filling up the seats at the banquet. Carson took a glance and saw at least eleven hundred people in the entire hall.

Quite a lot!

Immortal Gathering Island indeed had influence; besides young talents from ordinary forces, even people from the Myriad Immortals Palace came.

Seeing these people, Carson’s heart grew calmer.

Even if Immortal Gathering Island dared, they wouldn’t dare to act against these people unless they wanted trouble.

From the passageway on the inner side of the hall emerged a group of people, each with an extraordinary aura.

”They’re here!”

”The one walking at the very front, is that the Island Master of Immortal Gathering Island, Avidan Hartman?”

”It should be him; the aura on these people is impressive!”

”Hey, isn’t that the unparalleled genius Lethan Roth from the Iron Soul Sect?”

”Gilliam! The Iron-blooded Fairy Gilliam is actually at Immortal Gathering Island!”

With the appearance of this group, the hall buzzed with murmurs, interspersed with many exclamations.

Carson roughly understood; these should be renowned strong figures or geniuses from the North Sea.

Immortal Gathering Island had gathered quite a few strong figures!

An elegant and scholarly man ascended the platform at the front of the hall, his voice clear and resonant, spreading throughout the hall.

”Friends who have come from afar, greetings. I am the Island Master of Immortal Gathering Island, Avidan Hartman. I warmly welcome every guest who has arrived...”

Avidan Hartman’s speech was full of enthusiasm, all welcoming words, yet lacking in substance, which left Carson slightly disappointed.

”Why didn’t he mention how to exchange for what we need?”

Someone at the table muttered their doubt softly, and Nerisse Blaine crisply replied, ”For those who want to stay, no need to stay; for those who want to leave, can’t be retained. Didn’t he say, if guests have any thoughts or requests, they can contact their maiden, just express your desire, and the maiden will naturally arrange it for you.”

”Resource exchanges are extremely secretive matters, who would want others to know what they seek, what they must give up, it will certainly be a private one-on-one communication, signing contracts individually.”

”These matters are private affairs offstage; it’s impossible to bring them to the forefront, at least on the surface, Immortal Gathering Island won’t give anyone a pretext.”

Raelith Rhodes chuckled lightly, ”Then I should privately have a chat with them.”

Nerisse Blaine turned her head, ”Your Abyssal Sect has Top Tier Cultivation Techniques, surely you don’t need to exchange for techniques, right? Or is it because you want Immortal Gathering Island to help find Niall Sinclair?”

Raelith’s face stiffened slightly, remained silent for two seconds, then admitted, ”Indeed, if they have a way to accomplish it.”

Seriously, you guys haven’t given up?

Carson was shocked inside, after all these years, you still want to find her?

Your ancestor wants to Breakthrough, advance to Quasi-Saint, and still hasn’t given up?

Wasn’t it said that after certain rituals, there’s no effect left?

I’ve taken her away for such a long time, why do you still think she remains untouched?

Look down on me?

Carson internally mocked, but could roughly guess the intentions of the Abyssal Sect.

Quasi-Saint, that’s a single step out, towering over many Peak Great Land True Immortals, that one step, worlds apart.

As long as there’s a sliver of hope, how could the Ancestor of Abyssal Sect give up hope?

One must be completely sure there’s no hope before giving up, besides, Niall Sinclair possesses the Ancient Profound Water Technique, if she escapes, it might be passed around.

So regardless if it’s for ascending to Quasi-Saint, or for the Ancient Profound Water Technique, as long as there’s an opportunity, Niall Sinclair must be brought back.

Carson calculated secretly, by now they should have left the Ten Thousand Immortals Domain, this Immortal Gathering Island should not have the means to find them anymore, right?

Anyhow, this matter still needs attention.

Maedryn Cobb spoke deeply, ”Carson and Niall Sinclair might be together, dying Snow Zane should also be with them, what I seek is related to what you seek, it’s practically one matter.”

Raelith nodded, ”Indeed, if there’s any news, we can exchange information.”

”Alright!”

Carson became even more unsettled inside, after all this time, you two came here seeking to capture me?

If Immortal Gathering Island truly has a way, I might have to consider taking out you two!

Raelith turned to Nerisse Blaine, directing the topic towards her, ”Fairy Blaine, surely you have something you need, so you came? After all, eating, drinking, beauties or such, surely wouldn’t interest you.”

Nerisse Blaine gently nodded, ”Naturally.”

All eyes were on Nerisse Blaine, waiting for her to continue, yet Nerisse Blaine said just a word, then fell silent.

Evidently, she was unwilling to speak further.

Listening to the conversation, Carson was quite astonished, all these people came prepared, it seems this Immortal Gathering Island is stronger than anticipated!
