The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 574: Chapter 574 Cultivator, Haha, Cultivator!_1

Shirley Miller emerged from between the trees, and under the moonlight, her figure was graceful, floating like a fairy.

She looked at the ring on Carson Flores’s finger, her eyes filled with surprise and realization.

This was Carson Flores’s trump card.

He exploited the storage capacity of the Space Ring to land a fatal blow on Gunner Tate.

Carson Flores had targeted Gunner Tate’s leg instead of his fist. Damaging Gunner Tate’s fist would still allow him to run, but an injury to his leg not only reduced his Combat Power but also rendered him unable to escape.

He endured so many attacks from Gunner Tate just to wait for the right moment, an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.

And he had found it.

Gunner Tate, looking at the ring on Carson Flores’s hand, had a look of realization in his eyes, mixed with hatred, ”A Space Ring! Left to you by Westin Flores?”

Carson Flores looked down at the dying Gunner Tate and replied softly, ”No, this was a spoil of war from my exploration of the fallen The Unknown Land. My father didn’t leave me much, but maybe because of my lineage, I’ve always felt that I’ve been quite lucky.”

Gunner Tate’s gaze fell upon Shirley Miller, and he struggled to ask, ”In half a year’s time, you went from an ordinary person to your current strength. Did you enter The Unknown Land?”

Shirley Miller nodded, ”An ancestor of the Gilliam Family, the Fairy Ling Feng, entered The Unknown Land and achieved great Cultivation gains. Last year she was gravely injured by a powerful foe and her strength greatly diminished. As her descendant, by a twist of fate, I received her secret method of power transmission, which brought me to my current strength. The Spiritual Energy in this world is thin; using my Cultivation sword to kill you only demonstrates a tenth of its power. If we were in The Unknown Land, I could kill you with just a finger.”

Carson Flores had a moment of realization, and the doubts he had previously harbored were suddenly clarified.

Fairy Ling Feng!

That brilliant ancestor of the Gilliam Family who had reached the Innate realm and brought fame to the family, had then disappeared, presumably entering The Unknown Land. And now that she had encountered danger, she found her descendant, the very likeness of herself, Shirley Miller, and transmitted her powers to her.

When Derek Eaton had initially taken Shirley Miller away, he had clearly stated that if there was no match, she could return in ten days, but if there was a match, she would need to stay for two to six months. The longer the stay, the greater the benefits.

It seems that not everyone could receive this transmission of strength. One must meet certain conditions, and as her descendant who passed the trial, Shirley Miller fulfilled the criteria and ultimately received the transmission from Fairy Ling Feng, turning her into a Great Grandmaster overnight.

Gunner Tate’s eyes widened as he looked at Shirley Miller and then at Carson Flores, his face showing a hint of mocking disbelief.

”A Cultivator, haha, a Cultivator...”

With a big laugh, Gunner Tate spat out a mouthful of blood, his voice suddenly cut off, and his neck slumped, bereft of life.

Shirley Miller walked to Carson Flores’s side and asked softly, ”What should we do with him?”

”No rush, I’ll make a phone call.”

Carson Flores took out his phone and called the front desk of the Blue Sky Hotel: ”This is Carson Flores. I was attacked by Gunner Tate on the road. He’s dead now...”

The person at the front desk was clearly a staff member of the Jiuzhou Club. Upon hearing the news, the person asked for the address without any rush, indicating that someone would be sent to deal with it soon.

Carson Flores hung up the phone: ”All set, the Jiuzhou Club will take care of it. Let’s go.”

Shirley Miller answered obediently, ”Okay!”

The two of them made their way through the woods, across the residential area, and back onto the streets.

”Aren’t you going back to the hotel?”

Carson Flores said with a smile, ”No, I’d rather not go back. Kaenu Hail will just bombard me with questions. Let’s find a place to stay for the night and head back to West Capital tomorrow, okay?”

”Sure!”

The two casually found a hotel and booked a room—a room with a large bed.

Carson Flores booked it naturally, and Shirley Miller also looked quite at ease beside him.

Once inside the room, Shirley Miller asked with concern, ”You were injured before, weren’t you?”

Carson Flores nodded: ”I took quite a few punches from Gunner Tate and sustained some internal injuries. It’s nothing serious though, I’ll recover after a few days of rest. What about you? Are your injuries really healed?”

Shirley Miller chuckled lightly, ”Yes, I’m healed.”

Looking at Shirley Miller’s smiling face, a surge of impulse welled up in Carson Flores’s heart. He stepped forward and embraced her, ”It’s good you’re okay. I was so worried when I heard you went after Gunner Tate and got hurt.”

Shirley Miller’s cheeks flushed slightly, but any sense of awkwardness lasted only a moment. She let Carson Flores hold her, and her hands naturally wrapped around his lower back.

”I just heard that you were being pursued by the Five Dragon Order and thought of settling the matter. If I knew you were so powerful, I would have waited to join you and deal with Gunner Tate all at once...”

Carson Flores laughed, ”Just by a day. You went to the Reid Family the day before, and I didn’t know. Then I made another visit.”

Shirley Miller blinked in surprise, ”And then?”

Carson Flores smiled, ”You killed both Innates from the Reid Family, but they didn’t know about your mutual defeat with Gunner Tate. They misconceived that you and I had had no contact and thought to capture me to trade with Gunner Tate for his protection over the Reid Family, and then I killed more than a dozen Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters...”

Shirley Miller couldn’t help but laugh, ”The Reid Family is really unfortunate. Because of one Oscar Miller, they plunged themselves into trouble, not just once but twice.”

Carson Flores also laughed, ”They are indeed pitiable, but I don’t have the slightest sympathy for them.”

The two smiled at each other, each seeing the care and tenderness in the other’s eyes.

Looking at Shirley Miller, so close it could be reached out and touched, Carson Flores suddenly felt an overwhelming urge.

He kissed her.
