The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 367: Chapter 367: Little Girl, What Face Do You Have to Show?_1

In the spacious private dining room of the restaurant, Tobias Singleton raised his glass.

”Let’s all toast to Mr. Flores’s triumph in tomorrow’s battle, wishing him a victorious start!”

Everyone’s expression was subtly complex. Was it appropriate to speak so directly?

Of course, we hoped for Carson Flores to win, but as an elder of the Nine Peaks Sect, isn’t it a bit too direct to say such things?

Is there discord between the Nine Peaks Sect and the Divine Cloudy Sect?

Tobias Singleton noticed the looks on everyone’s faces and laughed, saying, ”The Divine Cloudy Sect has always been domineering, and many dislike them. The Acevedo Family is known to be their lackey. Today, when Nash Acevedo made his move, it was clear he was vying for face on behalf of the Divine Cloudy Sect. If Mr. Flores can teach Nash Acevedo a lesson, I’m sure there will be many who’ll applaud.”

People laughed and drank to that. Carson Flores said with a smile, ”Mr. Singleton, as an elder of the Nine Peaks Sect, aren’t you worried that your words might exacerbate the conflict?”

Tobias Singleton chuckled and replied, ”For us cultivators, it’s all about strength. If you have the power, why worry about speaking out? Wasn’t that young lady who troubled you relying on her Divine Cloudy Sect’s backing and her great-grandmother being an Innate Great Grandmaster?”

Carson Flores probed, ”How many Innate Great Grandmasters does the Divine Cloudy Sect have?”

Tobias Singleton responded readily, ”The Divine Cloudy Sect has thirteen Great Grandmasters and three Innate Grandmasters. Representing the Divine Cloudy Sect at this meeting is Elder Rocky Stein, but it is said that he sustained serious injuries from a battle not long ago and is rumored to be coming out specifically to seek treatment from the Natural Sect.”

Carson Flores was inwardly shocked by the strength that was revealed - thirteen Great Grandmasters!

No wonder they act so arrogantly and overbearingly!

Castiel Martinez and others exchanged glances, their eyes filled with anxiety.

Castiel Martinez inquired, ”Aside from Rocky Stein, who else from the Divine Cloudy Sect has come this time?”

Tobias Singleton said with a smile, ”Rocky Stein is representing the Divine Cloudy Sect along with Elder Zayne Shepherd. The rest are just some juniors; after all, this is just a meeting, not a fight. Two representatives are enough.”

Everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief. Naturally, they had been intimidated at the mention of thirteen Great Grandmasters and three Innate Grandmasters!

Taylor Johnston asked, ”Elder Singleton, if Carson Flores wins against Nash Acevedo, would the Divine Cloudy Sect take action, would Rocky Stein personally intervene?”

All eyes were intently focused on Tobias Singleton, filled with concern. Carson Flores, however, wore a slight smile as if he wasn’t worried in the least.

Tobias Singleton’s gaze fell on Carson Flores as he smiled and assured, ”Don’t worry. If it comes to that, our Nine Peaks Sect won’t just sit by and watch. This is the Southwestern Council, not the Divine Cloudy Sect; they cannot simply do as they please here!”

...

”Great-grandmother, they’ve really pushed things too far. You must stand up for me!”

Rocky Stein leaned back on a couch, stroking Josephine Harrison’s head, his brow furrowed: ”Twenty-seven years old, a Grandmaster... is he Andrew’s disciple?”

Jensen Meadows respectfully answered, ”Yes.”

Rocky Stein calmly said, ”He has indeed surpassed his master. Although Andrew has some reputation, he doesn’t possess this level of skill.”

Jensen Meadows quietly asked, ”The sudden appearance of Nine Peaks Sect’s Tobias Singleton inviting Carson Flores and others to dine, could he be attempting to win Flores over?”

”Just using him as a pawn,” retorted Zayne Shepherd, sitting aside with a sneer. ”The Nine Peaks Sect has had frequent conflicts with our Divine Cloudy Sect. Now that someone is willing to slap our Sect’s face, how could they pass up the opportunity?”

Josephine Harrison indignantly said, ”He humiliated the Moon Rain Sect’s people right in front of us, that’s slapping my face, slapping the Divine Cloudy Sect’s face.”

Zayne Shepherd glanced at Josephine Harrison with a touch of displeasure in his eyes.

Your face?

What significance does the face of a young girl like you hold?

Isn’t the face you’re talking about actually the face of the Divine Cloudy Sect?

If it wasn’t for your unreasonable behavior, insisting on troubling Carson Flores, would we have this mess?

Rocky Stein said calmly, ”Tomorrow’s battle is crucial. If you, Nash Acevedo, win, then all will be settled. But if you lose, Carson Flores will undoubtedly become more emboldened, and the Nine Peaks Sect will certainly offer him even more support, using him to continue striking at our Divine Cloudy Sect.”

Nash Acevedo stood up immediately, assuring respectfully, ”Elder Stein, rest assured, I will go all out tomorrow!”

Jensen Meadows said with a chuckle, ”That youngster has only stepped into the Grandmaster realm for about ten days. His mastery is probably not yet stable. How could he be a match for Elder Acevedo? Elder, you mustn’t hold back. Even if you don’t kill him, you should at least cripple him. Otherwise, we can’t vent this frustration!”

Nash Acevedo responded with a smile, ”He currently harbors hatred towards me. With the safety of the Acevedo Family and the face of the Divine Cloudy Sect at stake, I certainly won’t hold back. Elder Stein, don’t worry, I won’t let him leave the Martial Battle Arena on his feet!”

Josephine Harrison said hatefully, ”Cripple him, but leave him a dog’s life! I want him to suffer, unable to live or die, and regret it for the rest of his life. Let others see the consequences of offending the Divine Cloudy Sect!”
