The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1128: Chapter 1128: The Capable Decline, the Incapable Yearn but Have No Opportunity

”Ouch!”

Carson Flores tumbled out from the ninth floor of the Ghost Tower, and after stabilizing himself mid-air, he turned back and muttered, ”Not gentle at all...”

His appearance immediately drew the attention of countless people below the tower, especially since Carson was thrown out from the ninth floor.

Kash Lam was still waiting outside. Seeing Carson, he immediately yelled, ”Carson, what happened?”

Carson looked down and burst into laughter.

This guy was still waiting.

Flying down to Kash, Carson smiled and asked, ”Waiting for me?”

Kash sized him up and said, ”Yeah, what happened, I saw you came from the ninth floor, what’s the situation?”

Many around pricked up their ears, eager to hear what happened with Carson, as reaching the highest level meant he was closest to success.

Carson grinned and said, ”Bryant James and I both made it through eight challenges, then we fought. I won and stayed...”

”Hold on!”

Kash’s eyes widened in shock, staring at Carson in disbelief, ”You beat Bryant James?”

Carson chuckled, ”I used a little trick and damaged his Abnormal Phenomenon. He had to admit defeat and withdraw.”

Damage to Bryant James’s Abnormal Phenomenon!

Those listening in instantly gasped, looking at Carson with awe in their eyes.

Impressive!

Though many didn’t recognize Carson, those who did quickly spread the word around, and soon everyone knew that the young man before them was the new Human Emperor, Carson Flores.

Kash, coming back to his senses, laughed heartily, ”I knew it! Bryant had a dark look on his face, I even teased him a bit. He looked like he wanted to come down and hit me. I was wondering why he just turned and walked away, now I know why...”

Kash gave Carson a thumbs up, ”I’m really impressed with you! In such a short time, you managed to make the proud and arrogant Bryant James with Innate Taoist Body admit defeat. He must be so embarrassed now.”

After a pause, Kash came back to his senses and continued to ask, ”What happened next?”

Carson shrugged, ”I met the Artifact Spirit of the Ghost Tower, we talked for a while. She didn’t want to serve me, and I didn’t want to serve her, so we couldn’t agree and the discussion broke down...”

Kash’s eyes widened, ”She wanted you to serve her?”

Carson candidly replied, ”Not explicitly said, but I got that impression.”

Kash, not convinced, said, ”No matter how powerful, she is just an Artifact Spirit, and you are the Human Emperor!”

Carson smiled, ”She has seen many Human Emperors, and I’m probably the worst one, she wouldn’t think highly of me for that...”

Kash grimaced, somewhat resentfully, ”And then you were driven out?”

Carson shook his head, ”She gave me a cup of some kind of fruit wine, said it was my reward for passing the challenges. The wine contained a lot of Spiritual Energy, and after cultivating for a few days, I advanced a small level, then I was driven out...”

Kash, suddenly realizing, ”No wonder you came out a few days later than Bryant. You were cultivating, haha, your strength has improved, congratulations!”

Carson grinned, ”A pleasant surprise, I gained indeed!”

Someone nearby spoke up, ”The Ghost Tower is so powerful and has existed for over ten thousand years. In terms of strength and seniority, it’s much higher than us. Even if you served it, wouldn’t it be okay?”

Before Carson could reply, Kash retorted, ”A true man stands tall and free. How could he be the slave or servant to a magical treasure’s spirit, especially when Carson is the Human Emperor? If he did that, what if that spirit wants Carson to do something harmful to the Human Race in the future, what then?”

The person opened his mouth but didn’t know how to counter.

Those with capabilities naturally carry some pride; those without capabilities wouldn’t even get this opportunity!

Kash then asked, ”Where are you heading next?”

Carson answered, ”I have some personal matters to address.”

Hearing it was personal, Kash tactfully did not inquire further, smiling, ”Alright, I was actually about to ask if you wanted to try your luck together...”

Carson smiled, ”With what?”

Kash pulled Carson aside and cast a Soundproof Spell before speaking, ”Our Lam family has always dealt with fire and is keen on seeking various innate fires. We have a special method to absorb these fires and use them as a means of attack, which is much more powerful than ordinary flames.”

”We recently learned that a thousand miles north of Linzhou City in Central Divine Continent, there is a Valley with many ancient tombs. Some say they’ve seen Spectral Elemental Fire there, so our family sent a few people to try their luck. I am one of them.”

Spectral Elemental Fire?

Carson’s eyes suddenly widened. Wasn’t that one of the two flames mentioned by Erik Jackson sealed in the belly of the Valley of Death that could unlock the Absolute Ice Seal?
