The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 554: Chapter 554: You little rascal, pretending with me, huh?_1

Today, Xijing was once again abuzz with several pieces of news.

”Carson Flores’s wife, Shirley Miller, suddenly appeared in Xijing, entered the Reid Family alone, annihilating two of the Reid Family’s Innate ancestors along with the Miller Family’s son-in-law, Oscar Miller. Afterward, she went to the Five Dragon Sect, clashed with Gunner Tate, both sustaining injuries. Tate found a place to heal, while Shirley Miller left without a trace.”

”The next day, Carson Flores showed up at the Reid Family in Xijing, aiming to kill the son-in-law, Oscar Miller. Oscar was from the Miller Family in Seashore and was Shirley Miller’s cousin. After the Flores and Miller couple obliterated the Miller Family, Oscar fled to Xijing and married into the Reid Family for protection.”

”When Carson Flores entered the Reid Family, the family’s experts were gathering. The Reid Family was unaware of the mutual injuries sustained by Shirley Miller and Gunner Tate, intending to capture Flores and hand him over to the Five Dragon Sect in exchange for their protection. Flores, alone, wiped out seven Great Grandmasters and twelve Grandmasters of the Reid Family, his strength confirmed to have reached the level of Innate Great Grandmaster!”

”After investigation, it was found that Shirley Miller was previously an ordinary person without any cultivation experience. She was taken away six months ago by the Great Grandmaster Derek Eaton and, after disappearing for half a year, emerged with strength equivalent to that of a top-tier Innate Great Grandmaster.”

All Cultivators were shocked.

Hadn’t Carson Flores become a Great Grandmaster just over four months ago? And now he’s an Innate Great Grandmaster?

Such speed was almost too fast to believe.

If Carson Flores’s advancement was akin to flight, then wasn’t Shirley Miller’s power growth even faster than supersonic speed?

Six months from an ordinary person to a top-tier Innate Great Grandmaster?

What was most terrifying is that Carson Flores and Shirley Miller, these two monstrous talents, were actually genuine husband and wife!

Who could possibly provoke them!

Carson Flores, this guy, was truly a disaster!

His record as a clan annihilator grew once more with the addition of the Reid Family in Xijing, and now this monstrous couple was up against the Five Dragon Sect!

For several decades, the balance amongst Xijing’s Four Sects and twelve surnames had remained unchanged. But within just a few months of Flores’s arrival in Xijing, two of the twelve surnames had been wiped out. Could it be that the Five Dragon Sect would be next?

Previously, when the Five Dragon Sect issued the Five Dragon Order to apprehend Carson Flores, everyone thought he was doomed, after all, despite being a Great Grandmaster, Flores’s strength was ultimately just that of a Great Master level. Moreover, the Five Dragon Sect had not only six Innate Great Grandmasters but also powerful fighters like Gunner Tate!

What chance did Flores have to win?

Within just two short months, Shirley Miller emerged out of nowhere, injuring Gunner Tate with her own strength, and Flores advanced to Innate level. The couple together could now face the Five Dragon Sect. Add to that the four mysterious Innate Great Grandmasters already by Flores’s side. If those four stood with Flores, wouldn’t they have six Innates on their side?

With Shirley Miller to counter Gunner Tate, there wouldn’t even be a need for a sneak attack. Even in a head-on clash, they wouldn’t lose!

All Sects and Family Heads unanimously issued orders.

Under absolutely no circumstances should any Disciple provoke Carson Flores and Shirley Miller, and should anyone cause trouble with them, they would have to bear the responsibility alone; the families would definitely not intervene!

For a while, the city of Xijing was filled with tension, as if the mere rustling of grass or trees signaled danger.

...

”This is compensation sent from the Reid Family. Dexter Reid is worried you might not be satisfied, and he’s been imploring me repeatedly, saying they’ve done their best and asking me to put in a good word,” Leah Frost said, placing a sandalwood box in front of Carson Flores, eyeing him with surprise. ”You and Mary really are of one mind, not even planning but both heading to the Reid Family just one day apart...”

Carson Flores gave a wry smile, ”If I had come earlier by a day, wouldn’t I have run into her? With her that fierce, there’d be no need for further thought. We could have gone straight to Sword Cloud Mountain.”

Leah Frost chuckled, ”Now, Mary is even stronger than you. Aren’t you going to have to hold onto your wife’s coattails?”

Carson Flores remained unfazed, ”That’s a good thing. I couldn’t be happier. The stronger she is, the better. Even if it means holding onto coattails, there’s no shame in that.”

Leah Frost laughed softly, ”What I’m curious about is what she said. Her going to the Reid Family to find Oscar Miller is understandable; after all, he’s directly responsible for her misery. But she had no grievances with Gunner Tate; she was clearly standing up for you. And when she introduced herself, she referred to herself as your wife...”

Carson Flores felt a surge of emotion as he clearly understood the meaning behind Leah Frost’s words.

Did this mean she still acknowledged their marriage, the marriage certificate, and the feelings between them?

Different from before, when she ran into trouble, he would stand up to protect her. But this time, it was her turn to stand up and protect him.

The sentiment involved was enough to stir one’s heart with merely a thought.

Leah Frost nudged Carson Flores with her shoulder, ”I think she’s come around. Since she can tolerate Camille Rhodes, it shows that she’s not a domineering person. As long as she gets over that mental hurdle, your good days are coming.”

Carson Flores feigned ignorance, ”I don’t quite understand.”

Leah Frost reached out and pinched Carson Flores’s face, pulling it from side to side, ”You think you can play dumb with me, kid? With such stunning beauties, two no less, you must be waking up from your dreams laughing...”
