The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1188: Chapter 1188: Friends? Do You Think I Would Believe That?

Angelo Howard was taken aback and abruptly stood up.

”Who goes there?”

Carson Flores’s figure appeared above the backyard wall, his gaze falling on an old man with a long nose, his expression changed, and his eyes suddenly became two degrees colder.

”The esteemed City Lord of the Human Race, yet here you are, drinking and having a good time with the Demon Race, how peculiar...”

Angelo Howard’s expression changed drastically. He was meeting Mr. Xiang in secret, not even the people in the mansion knew, but now he was caught red-handed, and murderous intent surged in his heart.

This could not be exposed; once exposed, he would be done for!

Angelo Howard stared coldly at Carson Flores and asked in a freezing tone, ”Who are you to barge into my City Lord’s Mansion, and what are your intentions?”

Carson Flores said indifferently, ”Jade Phoenix Grass.”

Angelo Howard’s face showed a slight change: ”I have no idea what you are talking about...”

The figure of Otto Parrish appeared behind Angelo Howard, glaring at him, ”Angelo Howard, you killed my elder and second brothers, I would recognize you even if you turned to ash!”

Angelo Howard furrowed his brows; it was the younger third of the Parrish family who had previously escaped. It seemed they had found reinforcements, learned the truth from Riley Curry, and now had come looking for justice.

Angelo Howard was not panicked, for after all, Carson Flores looked very young, and his strength surely was not that great. Most importantly, the Great Demon Mr. Xiang was right by his side. Even if he did nothing, would Mr. Xiang let this man leave alive?

”You’re quite bold to dare to show up here, is this a delivery to my doorstep?”

Carson Flores asked indifferently, ”Where is the Jade Phoenix Grass?”

Angelo Howard smiled faintly, ”The whereabouts of the Jade Phoenix Grass have nothing to do with you. Since you ran away before, you should have just found a place to live out your days in secret. Now that you know my identity and have shown up here, naturally, I cannot let you go.”

Carson Flores smiled, ”Thinking of killing someone to silence them?”

Angelo Howard leaped into the air, launching a Flying Sword that streaked towards Carson Flores like lightning.

Carson Flores did not dodge or avoid, charging straight towards the Flying Sword.

The Flying Sword descended, but it did not pierce Carson Flores’s body, because as it neared him, Carson Flores’s body naturally burst forth with Sword Qi, directly striking the Flying Sword.

The sword was deviated from its trajectory and flew off course three feet away from him.

This scene, witnessed by Angelo Howard and the old man, caused a change in their expressions.

What kind of technique was this?

How could one’s body erupt with so much fierce Sword Qi?

Carson Flores threw a punch, the fierce Sword Qi instantly converged into a sharp, unrivaled storm that barreled towards Angelo Howard.

A surge of fear welled up in Angelo Howard’s heart, and he quickly threw out a Tortoise Shell, which rapidly expanded, shielding him.

The Sword Qi struck the Tortoise Shell, and the highly defensive shell shattered inch by inch, not even lasting a second before it broke into fragments.

Though the Sword Qi was greatly weakened, it still pierced toward Angelo Howard.

Angelo’s eyes filled with panic as he hurriedly dodged to the side, but it was too late.

The Sword Qi pierced through his shoulder, the fierce Sword Qi flooding into his body.

Angelo Howard’s mouth dripped with blood, his body sent flying back, crashing through four or five walls before he finally fell heavily to the ground, his meridians severely damaged by the Sword Qi.

Angelo Howard, at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection, actually couldn’t block a single strike from Carson Flores!

Carson Flores, now in the Late Phase of Transforming Spirit, possessed terrifying combat power without even using the Emperor Seal and the Red Blood Mist. Relying on his own strength, he could at least match someone at the Mid-Stage of the Hollow Void, and with the Emperor Seal, he could even battle those at the Great Perfection of Hollow Void.

The elephant-nosed elder’s complexion turned serious; he had already recognized that Carson Flores was at the Divinity Transformation Stage, but the ability to break through Angelo Howard indicated that this man was no easy foe, no wonder he dared to come here directly.

Of course, as a Great Demon, he did not believe he couldn’t handle Carson Flores, and so he was not in a hurry.

The matter of his meeting with Angelo Howard absolutely could not be leaked out; these two had to die!

Carson Flores’s eyes fell on the elephant-nosed old man, ”I’m curious, what affair brings a Great Demon like you to sit here drinking with him?”

The elder answered indifferently, ”Cannot the Human Race be friends with the Demon Race, and cannot friends sit down and drink together?”

Carson Flores laughed, ”Do you think I’ll believe that?”

The elder calmly said, ”It doesn’t actually matter whether you believe it or not, because you won’t be able to leave here any.”

Carson Flores raised an eyebrow, ”Another one who wants to silence me. Initially, I wasn’t particularly concerned about why you were here; after all, I have friends in the Demon Race. But now, I’m suddenly interested...”

Carson Flores paused, then spoke, ”Previously, some Human Race cities on the border of the Central Divine Continent have fallen into the hands of the Demon Race. Although this place belongs to the Eastern Emperor Province, it’s also close to the border area. Could it be that you’ve come here to take over this city, making it a territory of the Demon Race?”

The elder’s expression became slightly surprised; he had not expected Carson Flores to guess it right away.

Seeing the subtle change in the elder’s expression, a slight shock passed through Carson Flores’s heart, had he guessed correctly?
