The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 745: Chapter 745 Are You Not Afraid?_1

Carson Flores followed Mathias Combs as they descended from the sky, standing at the entrance of a massive cave.

The cave was large and deep, with a faint light shimmering from within.

It was very quiet inside.

Mathias Combs said with a smile, ”The black market is inside, with a soundproof spell formation, so no noise can be heard from outside.”

Mathias Combs took the lead and walked into the cave, with Carson Flores following behind him.

After walking a bit, the cave took a turn, and suddenly, it brightened up. In a spacious cavern lit by an oil lamp, a middle-aged man with a sullen face and piercing eyes was seated cross-legged, his gaze fixed intently on Carson Flores.

Besides him, there was no one else in the cave.

Carson Flores’s pupils contracted slightly as he turned to look at Mathias Combs, ”Mr. Mathias, what’s going on here?”

Mathias Combs just smiled faintly, ignoring Carson Flores, and said to the sullen-faced man, ”Mr. Wu, I’ve brought the person.”

The sullen-faced man nodded, ”Don’t worry, I won’t pay a penny less than the agreed price.”

Mathias Combs replied with a smile, ”I naturally trust Mr. Wu’s credibility.”

Carson Flores said sternly, ”Mr. Mathias, don’t you think you owe me an explanation?”

Without speaking, Mathias Combs stood by as the sullen-faced man sneered, ”Can’t you see? He has sold you to me.”

Carson Flores did not panic or get agitated; his expression remained calm as his gaze fell upon the sullen-faced man, finally resting on his waist. There, he spotted an old-looking leather pouch embossed with intricate and ancient formation patterns.

”I’m not a pretty woman, could it be that you fancy the two million-plus Spirit Stones in my pocket?”

The sullen-faced man sneered, ”Two million-plus Spirit Stones is certainly a lot, but not enough to make me come all this way. But it’s a good bonus; I’ll save some now.”

Carson Flores blinked, as if suddenly realizing, ”Could it be, you’re after Dragon, the Snow Dragon Leopard King?”

The sullen-faced man laughed heartily, ”Not too dumb after all. Too bad you figured it out a little too late.”

Carson Flores turned his head towards Mathias Combs, ”So, from the very first moment you saw Dragon, you already had plans, deliberately getting close to me, inquiring if I was a disciple of the Immortal Beast Sect...”

Mathias Combs’s smile was amiable, ”A Snow Dragon Leopard King that understands human language is incredibly valuable. You’re quite fortunate, but you also need to be able to keep your fortune safe.”

Carson Flores asked in a deep voice, ”So, everything you told me before about black market merchants, the black market, was all fake?”

”Not exactly.”

Mathias Combs smiled and answered, ”Aside from my name, everything I told you was true.”

Carson Flores’s gaze once again fell on the leather pouch at the sullen-faced man’s waist, ”Those interested in magical beasts would naturally be those with beast taming abilities. Are you from the Immortal Beast Sect?”

The sullen-faced man chuckled, ”Your thinking is clear, but what a pity, you’re just a little slow.”

Carson Flores questioned, ”Dragon, oh, the Snow Dragon Leopard King, is not on me. I’m not from the Immortal Beast Sect; I don’t have a Beast Taming Bag. Even if you kill me, you won’t necessarily be able to capture the Snow Dragon Leopard King, right?”

Mathias Combs replied with a smile, ”That Snow Dragon Leopard King listens to you, doesn’t it? If we have you, how could we not capture the Snow Dragon Leopard King?”

The sullen-faced man said with a smirk, ”Aren’t you its master? I’ll give you something to feed it, and once it eats, it’ll faint. By the time it wakes up, it will have fallen into my hands. As long as it’s in my grasp, are you worried I won’t be able to tame it?”

Carson Flores suddenly realized; this man intended to capture him first and then coerce him into feeding Dragon, to sedate the beast before capturing it to tame at his leisure.

Carson Flores turned to look at Mathias Combs, ”I’d like to know, how many Spirit Stones did you sell me for?”

Mathias Combs replied with a smile, ”Not much, just five million Spirit Stones. It was just a convenient deal. I didn’t have to do anything and directly pocketed five million, which is quite enough.”

Carson Flores nodded, ”That actually makes sense. Just a few words exchanged, a couple of meals shared, and then a connection was made for five million Spirit Stones, quite the easy task indeed.”

Mathias Combs narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of skepticism in his gaze, ”You don’t seem to be afraid?”

Carson Flores responded with a smile, ”Fear won’t change the outcome, better to give it my all. If I can escape, maybe I can survive.”

The sullen-faced man scoffed, ”With two Nascent Souls here against your single Golden Core, where can you escape to?”

Two Nascent Souls?

Carson Flores said, ”In the face of life or death, one must at least try... That must be a Beast Taming Bag hanging at your waist, right?”

The sullen-faced man burst into laughter, slapped the Beast Taming Bag at his waist, and it soared up, its opening expanding to about a yard in diameter. A dark shadow suddenly tumbled out of the bag, revealing itself to be a Black Armor Bone Spur Python.

Carson Flores had entered the Nutwood Heavenly Cave for the first time and entered the Secret Realm, where he had slain a Black Armor Bone Spur Python. At that time, Carson Flores hadn’t deployed the Water-Fire Mirror, and he was still at the Golden Core Initial Stage, relying solely on the Three Provinces Sword to kill the python.

Carson Flores’s eyes brightened; the Beast Taming Bag was indeed magical.

”Your snake doesn’t seem that impressive...”

The sullen-faced man sneered, ”Yeah, it’s not quite up to my level anymore, which is why it’s time for an upgrade, right?”
