The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 366: Chapter 366: The Explanations of Jiuyue Sect_1

Assume responsibility for life or death?

Everyone was startled, was this going to be a life-and-death battle?

Was Carson Flores that resolute?

Because Nash Acevedo stood up for the Divine Cloudy Sect, Carson decided to fight him to the death?

Nash Acevedo was also taken aback, but after all, he was a Great Grandmaster, and naturally, he wouldn’t be frightened by a single sentence from Carson; instead, he felt a surge of excitement.

Since Carson had said this, wouldn’t it be the perfect opportunity to eliminate him?

The Acevedo Family and Carson had developed a deep hatred during the battle at the Miller Family’s place. Initially, Nash was determined to eradicate Carson, even going so far as to make an assassination attempt. Now that Carson had become a Great Grandmaster, he naturally wouldn’t let things rest. Given time, he would inevitably seek revenge on Nash, and possibly even implicate the entire Acevedo Family!

With the example of the Miller Family before him, Nash understood very well that the youthful-looking man before him was not to be trifled with. Since he had already made the first move, there would be only two outcomes.

Eliminate him, or be eliminated!

Nash Acevedo sneered, ”Fine, I initially only wanted to teach you a lesson, but since you want a life-and-death duel, I will grant your wish!”

Yet Carson showed not a hint of giving Nash face, sarcastically retorting, ”Teach me a lesson? What’s this act of playing the Saint? Back then, when you saw me about to break through, you ruthlessly made your move, trying to kill me. Unfortunately, you didn’t succeed, and now you’re probably feeling a bit panicked, aren’t you? Wanting to use this opportunity to finish me off, haha, I’ll give you this chance. Let’s see if you can grasp it.”

It was only then that everyone suddenly understood.

So there was an old grudge between Carson and Nash. Nash had once attempted to kill Carson to cut off his path to breakthrough, but it was unsuccessful. Now that Carson had advanced to Great Grandmaster, naturally, he sought to avenge that. No wonder he asked for a life-and-death duel right from the start.

Carson was indeed impressive; even without achieving the breakthrough to Great Grandmaster and being targeted by Nash, he managed to survive?

Nash’s face immediately lost color, but he was of a certain age, and if he were to curse or quarrel with Carson, it would be a loss of face regardless of the outcome.

”Enough talk, when will it be?”

Someone interjected, ”Both of you are Great Grandmasters. If you start fighting, the scale won’t be small, and this area will surely be destroyed. Perhaps you could move to the Martial Battle Arena, where it’s spacious and safe. It also allows everyone to witness something extraordinary?”

Carson turned his head to look at the speaker, a refined-looking middle-aged man. Seeing Carson glance his way, the man smiled, ”Sect Master Tobias Singleton of Nine-Peak Sect... Mr. Flores, before we continue, I must first apologize to you. As the host of the Southwest Assembly, Nine-Peak Sect is responsible for all guests of the cultivation community. The actions of the Moon Rain Sect in expelling Mr. Flores, without understanding the whole situation, were truly inappropriate. Nine-Peak Sect owes Mr. Flores an explanation.”

As soon as Tobias Singleton finished speaking, Marshall Tate and Atticus Gross’s faces turned as pale as paper.

Tobias gave the two men no chance to argue. He turned his hand, his fingers pointing like a sword, and launched Gang Qi like a blade, instantly piercing the Dantian of Atticus Gross.

Atticus Gross screamed in agony. His body went limp and he collapsed to the ground, his entire body trembling like a sieve.

Tobias’s figure flashed, appearing before Marshall Tate, and struck him with a palm.

Marshall Tate spit out a mouthful of blood, and his whole body slumped to the ground, his complexion exceedingly wan.

Around them, gasps of shock rose, clearly stunned by the decisive and ruthless manner in which Tobias acted.

Everyone could see, Atticus Gross’s Dantian had been destroyed, and he would now be relegated to the life of an ordinary person. Marshall Tate, although not crippled, had been hit hard by that palm. The already wounded Tate would likely have to lie in bed for a good while.

After Tobias punished the two men, his gaze fell on Josephine Harrison’s face, speaking in a calm tone, ”I know that the Divine Cloudy Sect has always been domineering in the Cloudy Divine City, acting without restraint. But this place is not Cloudy Divine City, nor is it the Divine Cloudy Sect. You better temper your temper, whether you are the Sect Master’s offspring or a young mistress.”

Josephine’s face turned deathly pale, and Jensen Meadows’s expression was one of anger, but he dared not speak out in rebuttal.

Tobias Singleton was an elder of the Nine-Peak Sect, a Great Grandmaster!

It was clear that Tobias was chastising the Divine Cloudy Sect.

Josephine had instructed Hendrix Gross and Marshall Tate to deal with Carson Flores, but instead, they ended up being humiliated by him; the Moon Rain Sect lost face, but behind the Moon Rain Sect was the Nine-Peak Sect, indirectly tarnishing the reputation of Nine-Peak Sect.

By stepping forward to discipline Hendrix and Marshall, Tobias not only demonstrated Nine-Peak Sect’s stance on justice but also admonished the Moon Rain Sect while simultaneously slapping the face of the Divine Cloudy Sect.

The Moon Rain Sect is affiliated with us at Nine-Peak Sect, do you think you can act like the boss in front of us?

As for the Moon Rain Sect, can’t you figure out with whom you’re actually aligned? Helping Josephine and the Divine Cloudy Sect by doing their dirty work, acting as their lackeys?

Don’t they deserve to be punished?

Even if you were trying to butter them up, couldn’t you choose the right target?

A Great Grandmaster under thirty years of age and you still dare to provoke him?

If you can’t handle the consequences and lose face, won’t it be me who has to clean up after you?

After reprimanding Jensen Meadows and Josephine Harrison, Tobias turned back and gave a cupped fist salute, ”Mr. Flores, a minor punishment to teach a major lesson, I hope you will not take this matter to heart.”

Carson Flores responded with a modest smile, speaking just as courteously, ”Mr. Singleton is too kind. I am young and impetuous in my actions. If I have offended in any way, I hope Mr. Singleton will forgive me.”

Tobias Singleton laughed heartily, ”These are just trifles. At the end of the day, it’s the Nine-Peak Sect that has not played the role of host well. Let’s change the venue, and allow me to play host as a gesture of apology. As for the duel between you two, rest and build strength today. Tomorrow morning at 10 a.m., the battle will commence on time. How does that sound?”
