The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 313: Chapter 313: If a Member of the Miller Family Dies, You Must Pay with Your Life!_1

Mr. Acevedo?

Carson Flores’s pupils contracted slightly, a trace of worry flashed through his eyes.

Could it be that his previous concerns had indeed become reality?

The elder of the Acevedo Family, Nash Acevedo?

If it really was him, then all of today’s plans would likely fall through, and he himself might even be doomed right here.

His master, Andrew, had told Carson Flores that there was a world of difference between each realm for a cultivator, that a cultivator in the Inner Qi phase could absolutely not defeat a master in the Gang Qi Realm, and likewise, a master could definitely not defeat a Great Grandmaster. If you encounter an enemy who is a Great Grandmaster, don’t bother fighting, just turn and run!

Carson Flores didn’t run. He knew that if the other party was dead set on dealing with him, given the secluded location of the Miller Family’s old residence, he simply wouldn’t be able to escape.

Carson Flores turned to look at Taylor Johnston, Castiel Martinez, and Shiloh Fitzgerald and saw the smiles on their faces vanish in an instant, replaced by a serious and worried expression.

Castiel Martinez asked in a deep voice, ”Who is the Mr. Acevedo you’re referring to?”

Knox Miller sneered, ”The number one person in Seashore, the Great Grandmaster Mr. Acevedo. If Mr. Acevedo weren’t here, do you think I would give you this chance to annihilate the Miller Family in one fell swoop?”

Nash Acevedo walked out of the house at a unhurried pace, a faint smile still on his face.

”The Eight Great Families of Seashore, today five have come here, it’s been a long time since we’ve had such a lively occasion.”

A disturbance rose among the ranks of the Johnston, Martinez, and Fitzgerald Families. Many people displayed unease, reverence, and worry in their eyes. Conversely, every cultivator in the Miller Family camp showed ecstatic joy, the look of anxiety vanished, their gazes filled with anticipation and smugness.

Castiel Martinez spoke up, ”Mr. Acevedo, what’s your purpose in being here today?”

Taylor Johnston frowned and said, ”Are you here to help the Miller Family wipe us out?”

Nash Acevedo chuckled, ”Not at all. The Eight Great Families have lived in peace for so many years, I think it’s quite good. I am here today not only to repay a favor to the Miller Family but also because I do not wish to see bloodshed among us. Wouldn’t it be better to continue living in peace?”

The people of the Johnston, Martinez, and Fitzgerald Families all let out a sigh of relief.

This old man wasn’t planning to lay hands on their own people, it seemed that he still had reservations. After all, even though he was a Great Grandmaster, he was still just one person with two hands. It was impossible for him to wipe out all three of their Families, but if the three Families joined forces to strike back, even if the Acevedo Family wouldn’t be destroyed, they would suffer heavy losses.

Castiel Martinez asked, ”So you’re saying, if we don’t make a move today and just leave, you won’t take any action either, is that what you mean?”

Nash Acevedo smiled and said, ”Correct, the Martinez, Fitzgerald, and Johnston Families can leave at any time as long as you don’t act today.”

Carson Flores’s heart sank. He had only mentioned the Martinez, Fitzgerald, and Johnston Families, but had not said a word about him, it seemed that the favor he ’owed’ the Miller Family was about to fall upon him.

Taylor Johnston glanced at Carson Flores and asked, ”What about Carson Flores?”

Knox Miller smiled and said, ”Carson Flores has a deep-feuding grievance with our Miller Family. He killed my son’s bodyguard Wesley Roth and also murdered my brother, Master Beckham Miller. He is the main instigator of today’s incident. Since he has come, naturally, he can’t leave. Today the Miller Family will settle our score with him!”

Taylor Johnston’s face showed hesitation, ”Since we all came together, if we are to cease hostilities, naturally we should all cease. Why not just let it go for today and discuss any issues later?”

Castiel Martinez’s gaze was complex, but finally, he also spoke up, ”Carson Flores has done a great favor for the Martinez Family, could you possibly show some grace and let him off today?”

Shiloh Fitzgerald laughed and said, ”The Fitzgerald Family doesn’t owe Carson Flores a favor, but since we’ve all joined forces, we are allies. If we abandon our ally during battle, that would reflect badly upon us if word got out. Perhaps we could discuss an alternative solution?”

Carson Flores was somewhat surprised; in his estimation, after Nash Acevedo made an appearance and declared his stance, the Martinez, Fitzgerald, and Johnston Families would probably immediately cease participating and keep out of the affair. But unexpectedly, they were all speaking up, hoping to give him a hand!

It seemed that him saving Taylor Johnston’s life and helping Kylan Martinez with an unspeakable treatment had left a debt of honor that they couldn’t ignore and leave him to his fate. As for the Fitzgerald Family, they were mortal enemies of the Miller Family. The enemy of an enemy is a friend, right?

Moreover, since the Johnston and Martinez Families had stood up, if the Fitzgerald Family, as mortal enemies of the Miller Family, were to simply walk away, that would indeed result in backroom gossip and spine prodding once it spread.

Knox Miller sneered, ”Resolve it? How can you resolve it? Unless he has a way to bring Wesley Roth and Beckham Miller back to life. If he could really do that, why would I mind shaking hands with him and making peace?”

Carson Flores sneered, ”The Miller Family has quite the nerve, only allowing officials to start fires while forbidding civilians to light lamps, huh? Oscar Miller in Polgel tried to take my life time and again. If I didn’t have Master strength, I’d be nothing but rotting corpse by now. So it’s only right for you to kill me and wrong for me to fight back?”

”Enough of the nonsense, if people of the Miller Family are dead, you must pay with your life!”

Knox Miller’s gaze swept over Castiel Martinez and the others, ”If you three do not intervene today, we will all be at peace. We can settle any debts of gratitude or grievances later. But if you interfere, don’t blame us for being ruthless! Mr. Acevedo, please take action, and capture them!”
