The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1148: Chapter 1148: If apologies were useful, then wouldn’t their deaths have been in vain?

Everyone looked at the Blood Mist in the sky with eyes filled with horror, frozen in place like statues.

The Sect Master of the Hundred Flowers Sect, Eliza Boyd, was just... gone?

A mighty Hollow Void Practitioner in the later stages, simply crushed in mid-air by Carson Flores, with not even the Primordial Spirit escaping?

What kind of strength was this?

Even a Hollow Void Practitioner at Great Perfection shouldn’t be capable of this, right?

Human Emperor!

Everyone’s heart suddenly flashed with these two words, feeling the true heavy weight of them for the first time.

Was this the strength of the Human Emperor?

Carson Flores withdrew his hand, as if he hadn’t had enough, casually rubbing his fingers together before his gaze landed on Selena Smith and Phoebe James, who had turned pale beside him. He looked from left to right, finally resting his eyes on Phoebe James’s face.

”Central Divine Continent Alliance, branches of the same tree?”

”Sneaking in secretly, taking advantage of the Human Emperor identity to forcefully seize?”

”The Central Divine Continent Alliance is like the tiger’s buttocks, untouchable, right?”

Phoebe James watched as Carson Flores’s gaze landed on her, and her complexion changed instantly.

With each question from Carson Flores, Phoebe James’s face grew paler, until finally, it was as white as death, and her body began to tremble involuntarily.

Carson Flores was too terrifying!

An overwhelming one-shot kill!

Even if Carson Flores had displayed the strength of Great Perfection of Hollow Void, they wouldn’t have feared him with so many strong fighters here; at worst, they’d just have a fight.

But with Carson Flores simply extending a hand and exploding Eliza Boyd, how could they fight?

If he could crush Eliza Boyd, he could just as easily crush her too!

Carson Flores reached out his hand towards Phoebe James once again.

The exact same posture!

Fear surged like a tide, instantly filling Phoebe James’s heart. With a scream of terror, her body darted backwards like a swift wind.

But as soon as she started to move, the air around her seemed to solidify into an impenetrable barrier in an instant, then mercilessly compressed towards her.

The threat of death caused Phoebe James to utterly break down.

”I was wrong, I’m sorry, please spare me, I...”

”Bang!”

Phoebe James’s body shattered, exploding into a Blood Mist.

Not a trace of her Primordial Spirit remained.

Just like Eliza Boyd!

The high-ranking cultivators from the three sects that had been surrounding Carson Flores and the Lam Family hastily retreated a great distance away, looking at Carson Flores as if he were a ferocious Evil Ghost emerging from Hell.

Carson Flores rubbed his fingers again, his eyes settling on the pale-faced Selena Smith.

”Sect Master Selena, are you satisfied with this resolution?”

Selena Smith’s body began to shake uncontrollably. She had seen many powerful beings, but never had she felt as hopeless as she did now.

What kind of power was this?

How could one so effortlessly crush a Hollow Void Practitioner like killing an ant?

Wasn’t he just at Divinity Transformation level; how did he possess such a terrifying lethality?

Emperor Seal?

Was this the unique empowerment the Emperor Seal provided to the Human Emperor?

According to her disciples’ reports, back at the Flame Glacier, Carson Flores didn’t use the Emperor Seal but relied on the sinister Red Blood Mist to take Demetrius Hester by surprise and kill him.

Therefore, Selena Smith had speculated that Carson Flores’s Combat Power was average, and as long as one stayed vigilant against his flames and the Red Blood Mist, there would be no problems.

What was his title of Human Emperor?

For over ten thousand years, Central Divine Continent had been in chaos; everyone lived by the sword and relied on strength to survive. The title of Human Emperor meant nothing.

Only those with unmatched powerful strength could be truly acknowledged as Human Emperors. Without real power, cunning and sly tricks couldn’t get anyone to care.

However, Carson Flores’s two casual displays of power, directly annihilating two Sect Masters, deeply impressed upon everyone what it meant to be a Human Emperor.

The title of Human Emperor was indeed just a title, but anyone who could carry that title was immensely strong!

So strong it drove others to despair, so strong that submission was the only option!

Selena Smith wanted to flee, but she dared not.

She glanced subconsciously at the strong practitioners from the three sects around her; they all turned away, avoiding eye contact, and even silently put away their magical treasures, pretending to be mere passersby!

Selena Smith felt her heart sink to the depths of the Abyss, her face contorting into a smile that was hardly better than a cry.

”Mr. Flores, I’m sorry, I was wrong, I apologize to you...”

”Apologize?”

Carson Flores let out a cold laugh: ”You see, the two good sisters who stood up for you are already dead. They died because of you. If apologies were effective, wouldn’t their deaths be in vain?”

Selena Smith clenched her teeth and suddenly knelt down.

”I’m sorry, Your Excellency Human Emperor. I was blind, my judgment clouded by greed, coveting the magical treasure of Your Excellency. It was Demetrius Hester who wanted to seize your magical treasure for himself and then was slain by you. I wronged you...”

Carson Flores spoke indifferently, ”Wronged? I don’t care about that...”

Just when Selena Smith’s heart had relaxed a bit, Carson Flores spoke up again with a chill in his voice: ”But, I need to make something clear to everyone, provoking me equals death!”

Selena Smith’s heart plunged into the Abyss. She knew she was finished.

As Carson Flores had said, even Zhao Phoebe James and Eliza Boyd, who had spoken on her behalf, were dead. How could she, the mastermind, hope to live?

Desperate!

In Selena Smith’s hand, a Token emerged noiselessly, Spiritual Energy surged forth, and Runes on the Token began to shine rapidly.

The Great Displacement Command!
