The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 707: Chapter 707: Wow, Little Lamb Threatening the Wolf King_1

Park Xiu was the young master of the Park Family, an identity that destined his life to be extremely valuable.

The Sky Pirates specified that Park Xiu personally come, but who knew whether it might be a trap?

Carson Flores had now reached the strength of the mid-Golden Core stage, and with him, he had Josy, the Golden Core Late Stage Vine Demon, the astonishingly powerful Water-Fire Mirror, and the beast comparable in strength to a mid-Nascent Soul stage, the Snow Dragon Leopard King. Even if he encountered a Nascent Soul Stage expert, though he might not win, he should be able to escape.

Park Xiu was first surprised, then moved, ”This matter is quite dangerous...”

Carson Flores said with a smile, ”Since we know it’s dangerous, then we should prepare the fastest Flying Boat for a quick escape.”

”Okay!”

The Store Manager quickly brought a Flying Boat to Carson Flores, ”Young Master Carson, this is currently the fastest Flying Boat on the market, extremely rare in production. Take a look, are you satisfied?”

Carson Flores examined the silver shuttle-shaped aircraft before him, which was sleek and streamlined, looking very elegant. It wasn’t large, roughly able to accommodate four or five people.

”Quite beautiful, must be worth quite a few Spirit Stones, huh?”

Last time Carson Flores was at the Myriad Treasures Emporium, he had heard the owner introduce Flying Boats; back then, one Flying Boat was priced at two hundred thousand Spirit Stones, and the one before him was clearly even better, so the price was most likely much higher.

Park Xiu laughed and said, ”You’ve helped me out a lot before, and I haven’t even repaid you yet. Now you are going to accompany me on an adventure, I really don’t know how I can ever thank you enough. Consider this shuttle-shaped Flying Boat a token of my gratitude. Besides, who knows, I might even need it to save my own life. You must accept it and please don’t be too polite to me.”

Carson Flores smiled, and did not insist on refusing, since sometimes being too reserved could actually make the relationship more distant.

Carson Flores had helped Park Xiu solve the big problem that was Katherine Reid, enabling Park Xiu to return to the Park Family, a significant favor to Park Xiu. Now, risking danger to accompany Park Xiu to meet the Sky Pirates, Park Xiu repaying the favor with the gift of the fastest Flying Boat was exactly what Carson Flores needed, and he accepted it with a clear conscience.

Carson Flores took the initiative to accompany Park Xiu to meet the Sky Pirates partly because their relationship was quite good, and he was worried Park Xiu might run into trouble, and also because he wanted to get on good terms with the Park Family so they would be more dedicated to purchasing Dark Iron Raven Essence for him.

After a brief preparation, Park Xiu and Carson Flores left White Wave City following the Sky Pirates’ messenger.

The two traveled for two hours, arriving at a canyon. The messenger pointed out the direction, leading them into the canyon where a man emerged from within, sizing up the two and after a few words with the messenger, led them onward.

Sure enough, they’re cautious!

Carson Flores muttered to himself that this was obviously to prevent the messenger from being captured and revealing information, so even the messenger did not know the true location of the Sky Pirates and the hostages. Even if Park Xiu and others caught the messenger, it would be useless.

After another half hour of flight, they finally reached their destination.

It was a valley.

Two large Flying Boats were docked in the valley, and Park Xiu recognized one of them as the Commerce Aircraft that had been hijacked from the Park Family.

There was a group of about a dozen people in the valley, gathered together gambling and playing cards on the ground. Seeing the two arrivals, a man with a beard threw down his cards and laughed, ”Wealth God has arrived.”

Everyone stood up, looking at Park Xiu and Carson Flores with ill intent.

”Only two greenhorns came, quite courageous.”

”The Park Family’s young master, this guy is worth a lot of money; isn’t he a Wealth God coming to our door?”

”Hahaha, we’re really going to make a fortune off this one.”

...

Park Xiu glanced around, his gaze settling on the bearded man sitting in the center, speaking forcefully, ”I am Park Xiu. I’ve come as we agreed. Where are my people?”

The bearded man lazily replied, ”The Spirit Stones?”

Park Xiu took out a Spirit Stone Card, waving it, ”Two million Spirit Stones, not one less... Where are my people?”

The bearded man turned and gestured. From a distance, someone responded and soon after, a large group of people were escorted out from a hidden cave.

Park Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, ”Let them leave first!”

The bearded man laughed heartily, ”Haggling with me, eh? Fine, seeing as you’re such a stand-up guy, I’ll let them go. In fact, I’ll even return your Flying Boat to you.”

Park Xiu stated crisply, ”Alright, after they leave, I’ll give you the Spirit Stones. Otherwise, I’ll break it, and we can go our separate ways.”

The bearded man looked at Park Xiu with a mocking tone, tilting his head and laughing, ”Look, a little lamb has come to the wolf’s den and is now threatening the Wolf King.”

All the Sky Pirates laughed unrestrainedly, their expression arrogant, as if they had heard an extremely funny joke.

The hostages came over, and after Park Xiu gave them a few instructions, he let them depart first. Soon, they boarded a Flying Boat and left the valley.

After about ten minutes, figuring the Flying Boat had gone far, Park Xiu tossed the Spirit Stone Card to the bearded man, ”Two million Spirit Stones for you.”

As Park Xiu was about to leave, two men already blocked him, one on each side.

Park Xiu spoke coldly, ”What is the meaning of this?”

The bearded man answered in a leisurely tone, ”Two million Spirit Stones for the hostages, and the hostages have left. I kept my word, but I never said you could leave...”
