The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1177: Chapter 1177: I gave you the chance, but you didn’t seize it!

Colt Collins smirked.

How dare this kid ignore him and even refuse him!

Must be tired of living!

Without a lesson, he won’t understand that the pot is forged from iron!

Colt Collins said coldly, ”You’ve got some nerve. If you’re counting on the organizers of the trade fair to stand up for you, think again. They only manage the affairs within the trade fair. Once you’re outside, they won’t intervene.”

Carson Flores chuckled lightly, ”Oh, so you’re planning to rob us by force?”

Colt Collins sneered, ”I gave you a chance to break even, but you didn’t take it. Since that’s the case, don’t blame me for teaching you a lesson, for you to learn the truth of this world.”

Carson Flores smiled, ”And what truth is that?”

Colt Collins gestured to the middle-aged man beside him, who revealed a chilling smile as he advanced towards Carson Flores.

”The truth of this world is the law of the jungle!”

In Colt Collins’s icy words, the middle-aged man’s hand shot out, a massive palm materializing and looming overhead, bearing down on Carson Flores.

”So if I don’t give it, you’ll take it by force, is that it?”

As the giant palm descended, Carson’s smile slowly turned cold.

So this is the harsh reality of their world.

Since the other party was from a top power, they didn’t even bother asking his name and just attacked; in their eyes, there probably weren’t many young people in this world whom they couldn’t provoke.

The fact that this person didn’t recognize the Nine Honored of the Barbarian Wilderness suggested that he wasn’t their ally. So, why not teach him a lesson?

Domineering?

When you have the strength, you can afford to be domineering!

As the enormous palm was about to hit, Carson Flores clenched his fist and suddenly hurled a punch upwards.

It was a single fist strike, yet it carried the might of Sword Qi that surged towards the heavens; dozens of Sword Qi strands converged into an indestructible, formidable force that shattered the skies.

”Boom!”

The palm, created from Spiritual Energy, was instantly pierced through at the center, the Sword Qi shooting up into the sky in an astonishing display.

The palm instantly disintegrated into chaotic streams of energy, whipping up a fierce wind through the mountains and sending everyone’s clothing flapping wildly.

The cold smile froze on Colt Collins’s face.

This strike was powerful!

The middle-aged man who attacked was at the initial phase of Hollow Void, a true Hollow Void, and while his strike was casual, it was still formidable. Yet, it was so deftly shattered by the opponent!

Carson Flores drew back his arm and flashed a faint smile towards the middle-aged man whose expression had drastically changed, ”Ah, sorry about that, looks like you’ve hit a snag.”

The middle-aged man’s face reddened in rage. Carson’s words were like a hard slap across his face, leaving him utterly humiliated.

The sudden appearance of the overwhelming palm and the fierce Sword Qi that shot up into the sky alarmed many Cultivators resting in the vicinity of Mount Wan Jue, who promptly took to the air to observe the situation.

In an inconspicuous corner stood an old man with white hair and a middle-aged man side by side.

”Are they fighting over the Divine Thunder Soul Wood, one of them?”

The white-haired old man replied, ”It should be that young pair, a brother and sister duo. I inquired a bit, and it turns out they bought up all the Flawless Fruit on the market and have set up a stall asking for Jade Phoenix Grass and Bodhi Blood...”

The middle-aged man’s eyes gleamed, ”Flawless Fruit, Divine Thunder Soul Wood, Jade Phoenix Grass, Bodhi Blood – they’re all essential ingredients for refining the Great Land Resurrection Pill. Missing any one would be crucial. If they were collecting only one, it might be coincidental, but since they require all four, we can almost be sure they are planning on refining the Great Land Resurrection Pill.”

The two exchanged a look, their eyes brimming with excitement.

They’ve found it!

The white-haired old man spoke in a low voice, ”These two are surely gathering Spiritual Medicine for Cristopher Hopkins, to refine the Great Land Resurrection Pill for her resurrection...”

The middle-aged man said excitedly, ”Capturing those two will surely lead us to news of Cristopher Hopkins!”

The white-haired old One cut him off, ”What if Cristopher Hopkins is right beside him? Do you think we can take them on?”

The middle-aged man’s expression changed, ”That’s a good point. That single hand of hers swept away three at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage effortlessly. If she really is with him, then we might not stand a chance. What should we do, should we inform Princess Hail and Franklin Wyatt?”

The white-haired old One chuckled slyly, ”They’re far off. Even if they rush over here, how long would that take? Most importantly, this merit was discovered by us – why should we share it with them? They’ve never shown us any respect.”

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately understood and said coldly, ”True, Princess Hail and Franklin Wyatt think they’re superior due to their talents and strengths, looking down on both you and me from the Demon Race. It’s infuriating. Now that we’ve made the discovery, the credit is ours alone, nothing to do with them.”

”Exactly!”

The white-haired old One spoke firmly, ”Our lord descended to the Lower Realm and said that we could trace the whereabouts based on the ingredients for the Great Land Resurrection Pill. If we find anything, we should light the incense signal to report; we just need to do as instructed. Regardless of the outcome, this is a merit, isn’t it?”
