The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 640: Chapter 640: If you can’t figure this out, you really are fools_1

”I have a wife I’m married to by registration, and a girlfriend...”

Carson Flores simply answered, ”To put it simply, I have two lovers.”

Lilith Park’s eyes widened in surprise as she said, ”Brother, you’re impressive, huh? Do they know about each other?”

Carson nodded, ”They do.”

Lilith gave a thumbs-up, ”Bro, you’re powerful! A real winner in life, but... now that you’re here, they probably can’t come in, right? It’s not going to be easy for you to get out...”

Carson smiled, ”They’re in other Blessed Lands of Cave Heavens; we will meet again in the future.”

Lilith looked at Carson in amazement, ”Bro, you sent them to other Blessed Lands of Cave Heavens? That’s some real skill, man. Although I’m not very clear about the outside world, I do know that entering the Blessed Lands of Cave Heavens requires an entrance, but the entrances lost in the mortal world are very scarce...”

”Just got lucky.”

Carson didn’t elaborate further or reveal which Blessed Land of Cave Heavens they were in, ”What’s the background of your fiancée, the one you ran away from?”

Lilith’s face, which had been excited and gossipy, suddenly couldn’t smile anymore, ”Isabel Reid, the younger daughter of Kylo Cobb, an elder of the Myriad Phenomena Sect.”

Carson laughed, ”One of the Four Great Sects, and the daughter of an elder at that. That’s pretty impressive. You also said she was pretty. So why don’t you want her?”

Lilith made a bitter face, ”Do you like a spoiled young lady as a wife, beautiful but arrogant and rude?”

Carson understood immediately and looked sympathetic, ”What do you mean by ’running away from the marriage’? This Blessed Land, though admittedly not small, isn’t very big either. Where can you run to?”

Lilith sighed, ”That’s why I’m in such a sorry state now. To avoid any association, my family has been forced to cut ties with me. Even though we are quite wealthy, they dare not give me a single cent. I have to stand on my own two feet, but it’s hard to earn money when most people are afraid to have dealings with me. I live off the ten Spirit Stones allotted to me each month, alternating between being full and hungry...”

After a pause, Lilith continued, ”Bro, you don’t have to worry. You’re new here and aren’t familiar with the situation. A meal won’t get you involved; they’re not that unreasonable.”

Carson laughed. This guy was clearly a rich son, yet living so miserably.

”Whoever helps you, your fiancée goes after them?”

Lilith shook her head, ”Not exactly. After all, men marry and women marry off; it’s normal for me not to want to. If she were to harass me because of that, the one losing face wouldn’t be me, but her. My family cutting ties with me is also just a way for her family to save face, to give them some dignity.”

”These people don’t want to deal with me because they’re afraid of ’just in case,’ worried that Isabel Reid and her father might cause trouble later on. It’s normal for people to be cautious, especially since Isabel’s father is an elder of the Myriad Phenomena Sect with high status and influence. No one dares to mess with him, so they naturally avoid trouble by not interacting with me—the most direct approach.”

Carson chuckled, ”You put it so frankly; aren’t you afraid I’ll just turn around and run?”

Lilith laughed, ”Of course, there’s no issue with bumming a meal off you, but I have to lay out the situation clearly afterward. Otherwise, if there really were trouble, wouldn’t it be trapping someone? Even if you did turn around and run, I would completely understand. It’s a normal reaction.”

Carson just smiled, not really putting much thought into the matter. After all, it wasn’t that interaction was forbidden; it was just that people were avoiding Lilith on their own initiative to stay out of trouble.

Although he didn’t want to attract trouble himself, he wasn’t so timid as to be scared while eating a meal. Speaking of which, this Lilith really was quite pitiful.

”Even if you have to escape, you should eat your fill first, right? Come on, let’s drink.”

Lilith saw Carson’s composed manner and her eyes brightened.

She was no fool. How could an ordinary cultivator obtain residence number four? To dare to hit someone upon arriving and even extort Spirit Stones from them, and facing Kylo Cobb’s challenge without a trace of fear—if there was no reason behind it, Lilith would not believe it.

Either the person has immense strength or has a significant background, and since Carson is from the mortal realm, his strength couldn’t be that great. Thus, the answer was pretty clear.

Carson Flores had a background, had connections!

Lilith glanced at Kylo Cobb and his companions, her lips curling into a mocking smile.

Such a simple thing and you still don’t get it, yet you dare to openly snatch a dwelling. You really are fools.

But looking at Carson’s calm demeanor, he seemed unfazed by Isabel Reid’s father, the elder of the Myriad Phenomena Sect. He was eating as calmly as ever, without a hint of nerves.

That piqued Lilith’s interest.

If you really think about it, she wasn’t that miserable. At most, people just tried not to interact with her, but no one dared to bully her.

Having drunk with Carson for a while, Lilith felt at ease with him. Whether it was her own destitute situation or hearing her story, or even encountering troubles, his demeanor had remained the same—calm and steady, with no changes at all.

This was someone she could get along with!

It was just that she didn’t know if he would dare to befriend her...
