The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 757: Chapter 757 You’re Simply the Disaster in My Life_1

Carson Flores quickly let go.

The bowstring trembled lightly and slowly returned to calm, while the just seemingly revived Soul Devouring Bow instantly quieted down, as if it fell into a deep slumber again.

Carson Flores understood.

The Soul Devouring Bow didn’t have arrows because it used Spiritual Energy as its arrows. It could absorb the user’s Spiritual Energy and condense a vast amount of it into an attack point of incredible strength, then give this point an auto-navigation feature. Once released, it could automatically pursue and attack the enemy.

The condition to activate the Soul Devouring Bow was stretching its string; the wider the draw, the more Spiritual Energy it absorbed, and the greater the attacking power it unleashed.

The Soul Devouring Bow was undoubtedly a top-grade magical treasure. Hadn’t Joaquin Moses managed to hit a Nascent Soul with one arrow each amidst the encirclement by four others?

Although it didn’t kill the opponents, the ability to severely injure peers in the same realm in an instant was more than enough to prove its strength.

And this was under a one-to-four situation. What if it were one-on-one?

Wouldn’t that mean a sure win?

Carson Flores looked up at the sky and smiled.

You wanted to draw me into the game but ended up giving me a top-grade magical treasure. I’d be disrespectful to decline such a gift.

In the sky, Joaquin Moses was being pursued by a masked man, blood dripping from the corner of her mouth, her complexion deathly pale—it looked like she couldn’t hold on much longer.

Carson Flores called out, ”Joaquin Moses, if you want to live, come down.”

His voice reached the skies, and both Joaquin Moses and the masked man pursuing her were shocked. This guy was still alive?

A Nascent Soul and four Golden Cores had chased him. How could he be fine?

How could that be possible?

Joaquin Moses, at the end of her strength, plunged straight down without hesitation.

The masked man in the sky didn’t rashly follow her down. Instead, he called out loudly, ”Captain?”

All the people below had perished; naturally, no one answered him.

The masked man’s expression changed drastically, and he turned around to leave cleanly, disappearing into the distance in an instant.

If the captain, the strongest among them, and four Golden Core Realm cultivators went silent after diving into the woods in such a short period, there was only one explanation.

They were already dead.

If he rushed down now, wouldn’t it be the same as a death sentence?

Why wait any longer instead of escaping at once?

Joaquin Moses plunged from the sky into the woods and immediately saw Carson Flores standing in the clearing. To his left was the huge-bodied Snow Dragon Leopard King, comparable to a giant elephant, and to his right stood Logan Moss, poised on one paw, breathing out flames with its every breath.

Joaquin Moses’ eyes widened in shock.

This guy actually possessed two Nascent Soul Level mythical beasts.

No!

And there was more...

Joaquin Moses’ gaze fixed in astonishment on the towering Vajra Vine behind Carson Flores, which suddenly split open. A small section of the translucent green Vajra Vine sprout flew up and burrowed beneath Carson Flores’ cloak and cape.

Vine Demon!

This man didn’t just have two beasts; he had three!

In such a short period, he had already killed the five people chasing him!

Joaquin Moses reined in her emotions and descended from the skies to the ground, walking up to Carson Flores and reaching out her hand, ”The Soul Devouring Bow, give it back to me.”

Carson Flores’ expression was cold, ”It seems that you were the one who actively gave the Soul Devouring Bow to me. Since you gave it to me, why ask for it back?”

Joaquin Moses’ complexion changed abruptly, ”Are you planning to steal the Soul Devouring Bow?”

Carson Flores let out a cold laugh, ”If I didn’t have some tricks up my sleeve, you would have had me killed today. Moreover, I saved your life. Consider the Soul Devouring Bow compensation; no need to thank me.”

Joaquin Moses clenched her teeth in anger, ”You’re taking advantage of the situation!”

Carson Flores’ eyes turned even colder, ”If I really intended to exploit the situation, I’d just kill you right now. With your current state, do you think you could escape if I decided to finish you?”

Joaquin Moses fell silent.

What Carson Flores said was the truth—if he genuinely wanted to take advantage of the chaos, he could definitely kill her right now instead of wasting words with her.

After a moment of silence, Joaquin Moses spoke up, ”Fine, let’s say the Soul Devouring Bow is yours. May I borrow it for a while?”

Carson Flores calmly refused, ”If I lend it to you and you run off with it, where would I find you?”

Joaquin Moses retorted angrily, ”I said I’m borrowing it, and I mean to borrow. I have no intentions of reneging on my word. If you’re afraid I’ll run off, you can come with me!”

Carson Flores scoffed, ”Join you, so that once you’ve recovered, you can shoot me with an arrow? You’re a Nascent Soul; I’m a Golden Core. Would I still be alive to talk about it?”

Joaquin Moses had no comeback, pointing at Carson Flores in frustration, ”You’re the disaster in my life! If it weren’t for you, I would never have faced such a catastrophe today!”

Carson Flores frowned, ”Are you planning to be unreasonable and cause trouble? They came after you, the entire ship got dragged into it because of you, and I was nearly killed by your scheming. Are you the disaster, or am I?”

Joaquin Moses called out in frustration, ”I came to Fierce Lion City intending to acquire a Beast Taming Bag but ended up having you snatch it away with a high bid. In an effort to get you to transfer the Beast Taming Bag to me, I ended up lingering so long in Fierce Lion City, following you onto this ship, and eventually leading to being targeted...”

Carson Flores’ eyes suddenly widened, his gaze fixating on the Joaquin Moses before him in surprise, ”You’re that woman who was bidding against me at the black market?”
