The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 699: Chapter 699: Are You That Bold to Take Action Directly?_1

The trip came quite suddenly, but Carson Flores had long been looking forward to seeing the world outside, so he agreed without any hesitation.

”Alright, Senior Sister, where are we going?”

”The Barbaric Wilderness Realm, White Wave City.”

Curious, Carson Flores asked, ”What place is that?”

Delaney Hunter explained with a slight smile, ”Two days’ journey from the Secret Realm is a small city that belongs to me.”

Having heard about the state of the Barbaric Wilderness Realm from Killian Jaramillo, Carson Flores knew cities there were inhabited by cultivators and defenders, and he realized, ”So, Senior Sister, you have also taken control of a city in the Barbaric Wilderness Realm.”

Delaney Hunter elaborated, ”Each Sect from the Blessed Land of Cave Heavens seizes cities for resources. The more cities a Sect controls, the more resources it can obtain. The Four Great Sects have many cities under their command outside, so even if they cultivate peacefully here, they can still possess abundant cultivation resources.”

”As the Peak Master of Flying Waterfall Mountain Peak, although I usually don’t involve myself in management, I still need to plan a future for the disciples of Flying Waterfall Mountain Peak. Therefore, I also seized a city, which on one hand allows me to earn more Spirit Stones, and on the other, provides a safe place for the disciples of Flying Waterfall Mountain Peak to cultivate when they go to the Barbaric Wilderness Realm.”

”White Wave City can only be considered a small city and is quite remote. Nearby White Wave City, there’s a black gold mine. Black gold is a material needed for refining all kinds of Magic Artifacts and magical treasures, and it’s highly valuable with a guaranteed market. The majority of the economy in White Wave City is derived from the extraction and sale of black gold from the mine.”

”Previously, because of the Spirit Rhinoceros Storm that lasted ten years, the Secret Realm was sealed for ten years, and we were cut off from the Barbaric Wilderness Realm for a decade. Soul Shock City, nearby, has long coveted the black gold mine and took the opportunity to strike, occupying the mine for themselves.”

”This time, I’m going there to fight, ready to take back the black gold mine zone, and to teach them a lesson.”

Surprised, Carson Flores asked, ”They’re so bold as to directly take action? The Cave Master is so powerful, aren’t they afraid of the Cave Master?”

Delaney Hunter chuckled, ”The Cave Master is the lord of the entire Cave Heavens, not the master of a specific Sect. Unless there’s a dispute that involves the Cave Heavens, the Cave Master generally doesn’t intervene. For a minor matter such as this, where Sects claim territory, the Sects naturally deal with the issues themselves. It’s merely a struggle for resources, so why would the Cave Master step in?”

Carson Flores understood, realizing he had oversimplified matters.

It was akin to his own conflict with the Hoffman Family. Even if it escalated to fighting, the members of the Hoffman Family would be the first to step forward, and only if the family’s entire existence was at stake would Seth Hoffman make an appearance.

It wasn’t like Seth Hoffman would come personally to deal with him just because he had slapped a young Hoffman Family disciple.

In a battle, it’s the fierce generals who lead troops into the fray, not the leaders of a side personally engaging in every skirmish.

Carson Flores asked, ”So, Senior Sister, what’s the plan?”

Delaney Hunter smiled, ”First, we’ll take back the black gold mine, and as for how exactly we’ll fight, we’ll see once we get there. Pack up, and let’s go.”

”Okay!”

Carson Flores, having no family or significant ties, didn’t have much to gather. He went back to his cave dwelling, harvested mature Spiritual Medicines, plucked the Vajra Vine, tucked it in his pocket, and set off with Delaney Hunter. Accompanying them was the Maiden, Qing Ling.

Entering the Secret Realm, Delaney Hunter threw out a Flying Boat, carrying the trio forward.

After considering for a moment, Carson Flores requested, ”Senior Sister, if it’s not urgent, can we make a trip to the Profound Ice Mountains first?”

Delaney Hunter inquired, ”What do you want to do there?”

Carson Flores said with a smile, ”I’d like to take some food to a friend and see if I can entice them to join us.”

”Sure.”

Carson Flores was also thinking that going to the Barbaric Wilderness Realm could expose them to many dangers and likely many battles. The Snow Dragon Leopard King was not only an excellent source of energy for him, but it also had the strength of the Nascent Soul Stage. Having such a powerful ally would be a strong safeguard for him.

At the Profound Ice Mountains, Carson Flores blew on the Bone Whistle.

The Snow Dragon Leopard King came running out, overjoyed. It was now exceedingly fond of Carson Flores, as every time he visited, he brought lots of Spiritual Medicines for it to eat.

Observing the Snow Dragon Leopard King’s reaction, Delaney Hunter’s expression became slightly complicated, and when she saw her own name written on the tag around its neck, her expression grew even more amused.

Embarrassed, Carson Flores explained, ”I was afraid it would be killed by someone, so I borrowed Senior Sister’s name.”

Curious, Delaney Hunter asked, ”Can it understand human speech?”

”Yes.”

Carson Flores casually tossed a piece of Spiritual Medicine into the mouth of the Snow Dragon Leopard King, which then affectionately rubbed its head against Carson Flores’s hand, much like a puppy.

Carson Flores said, ”I’m heading to the Barbaric Wilderness Realm; come with me. If you don’t like staying with humans, you don’t have to live in the city; you can live in the wilderness, and I won’t restrict your freedom.”

The Snow Dragon Leopard King looked hesitant.

Carson Flores patted its head, ”I need your help now. As long as you help me, I will give you lots and lots of Spiritual Medicines to eat, to quickly improve your strength, and make you even more powerful.”

The Snow Dragon Leopard King’s eyes instantly brightened, and it looked around thoughtfully, mulling over the offer.

After a good while, under Carson Flores’s expectant gaze, the Snow Dragon Leopard King eventually lowered its head and gently nodded.
