The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 808: Chapter 808: One-on-one or Group Fight, Draw the Line!

Francisco Smith’s face flushed red in an instant.

”So you can’t beat Carson Flores, and you’re taking it out on me, huh?”

Francisco Smith was torn with hesitation in his heart, wondering whether to retreat or to put up a fight.

He had originally hoped to snag a spot for himself, but now it seemed that no position would be easy to secure.

In fact, under the watchful eyes of all, everyone could see how each person fared on those eighteen steps, and from there, gauge their strength.

Carson Flores ascended with an air of ease, without any pressure, while Francisco Smith looked extremely strained, clearly a newcomer at the Nascent Soul Early Stage.

If it hadn’t been for Carson Flores carrying the reputation of the Golden Core Realm, these people would surely have targeted Francisco Smith first.

Just as Francisco Smith was still hesitating, Travis Tate had already grown impatient and struck out with a palm, his Spiritual Energy surging like furious waves, slamming directly towards Francisco Smith.

Francisco Smith struck back with all his might, only to be sent flying without any surprise, while Travis Tate merely swayed slightly.

The vast gap between the Mid-Nascent Soul stage and the Early Stage was glaringly obvious. Not everyone is capable of overcoming such boundaries, and it all the more highlighted the formidable nature of the Path of the Sword Bone that Carson Flores cultivated.

To defeat someone at the Mid-Nascent Soul stage with a Golden Core, and to do so cleanly, was not something just anyone could achieve.

Francisco Smith fell to the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He got up, his eyes red with rage, but he was powerless to do anything else and could only retreat to sit down on a cushion at the back, almost grinding his teeth to pieces.

Here, everything depended on strength.

Those twenty chairs were not easy to claim, all luck was torn to shreds.

Who would think of himself as an easy target?

In the public eye, it was too embarrassing.

If only he had known, he would not have followed Carson Flores up there. Who could have imagined that in such a short time, his Sword Bone had already reached a minor level of success?

Others continued to ascend the platform, some attempting to challenge those in the seats, some succeeded, others failed, but no one else challenged Carson Flores again.

It was not suitable to use powerful magical treasures in battle on the elevated stage, and since Carson Flores’s Sword Bone was itself a magical treasure, he naturally had a significant advantage, which was also the reason for Travis Tate’s defeat in a single move.

Others clearly realized this as well, fighting Carson Flores would be a huge loss, wouldn’t it?

If you win, all is well, but if you lose, isn’t that even more embarrassing? After all, people will say you couldn’t even beat someone in the Golden Core Realm, and that is not something pleasant to hear.

Bryant James saw this scene, a hint of disappointment in his eyes, but he hid his emotions well.

As the fight for seats was coming to an end, Bryant James laughed loudly, ”Ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy the tea.”

Following Bryant James’s words, tea made from Heaven-reaching Lotus Leaves, specially prepared, flew out of the tea caddy, automatically entering the teapots on the table. Boiling Spiritual Spring Water also arose, pouring directly into the teapots.

In the blink of an eye, an invigorating fragrance wafted from the teapots, delighting everyone’s senses.

Bryant James smiled slightly, ”Previously, I ventured into the Death Plains for training, and in a deserted valley, I came upon a Jade Spirit Peach tree bearing hundreds of fruits. Today, as you all have graced this occasion, and given me face, I offer each of you a Jade Spirit Peach as a token of my thanks.”

With a wave of Bryant James’s hand, a bunch of fragrant, rosy peaches flew towards everyone.

This time, not only those twenty with seats got a share, but also everyone sitting on cushions at the back watching the show, each receiving one. In no time, the White Jade Platform was filled with delicious aromas, making mouths water uncontrollably.

”Top-tier Spiritual Medicine, Jade Spirit Peaches!”

”Isn’t that a bit too generous? How many Spirit Stones is that worth, certainly over ten million, right?”

”It’s not about how much the Spirit Stones are worth, these things are priceless, even if you have the stones, you might not be able to buy them!”

”The audacity to venture into the Death Plains, which are said to be dominated by Demonic Beasts, where Human Cultivators enter but never return; not only did he come back safely, but he also acquired so many Jade Spirit Peaches, truly befitting of his Innate Taoist Body.”

”Heh, although the favored sons of heaven on the platform may not appreciate it that much, this generosity and bold spirit will surely secure his reputation.”

Carson Flores inwardly sighed, Mount Kahdas was indeed one of the ten great paradises; its resources were truly profound.

All these gestures were obviously meant to build momentum for Bryant James, and with such a move, he had won over many hearts. As long as Bryant James displayed sufficient strength, the title of being the number one young Cultivator in Misrds State would be secure.

Those sitting on the chairs with the status of favored sons of heaven had a lukewarm response, some even sported cold smiles.

Every one of them was a star of their respective sects, being carefully groomed; they hardly lacked resources, so these gestures could not sway their hearts.

Kash Lam picked up a teapot, pouring all the tea in his mouth, not sparing even the leaves, drinking the scalding tea as if feeling nothing at all.

Kash Lam wiped his mouth, swallowing the tea leaves, and stood up to declare loudly, ”As we’re all busy, let’s not waste any more time. Bryant James, are we going one-on-one, or is it a brawl? Lay it out.”
