The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1246: Chapter 1246: Betting Life, Fighting for a Glimmer of Future Possibility!

Winter Chill City.

Carson Flores and a few others sat in a restaurant, each with an unmistakable look of fatigue on their faces.

They had been on the battlefield for some time now, shadowing their tracks and relentlessly launching surprise attacks on the Demon Race troops, causing one unit after another to completely collapse.

Among these Demon Race armies were powerful Great Demons, but they couldn’t withstand the assault from Carson and his comrades.

For the weaker ones, Carson and the other five directly overpowered them with brute force. For stronger and numerically superior enemies, Carson would deploy Stella Rios and Heath Wells to employ a decapitation tactic, striking and running away. By the time the enemy barely caught a breath, the two would return to kill a few more, then flee again.

Being Demi Immortals, Stella Rios and Heath Wells had the freedom to come and go as they pleased, which made it impossible for the normal Demon Race units to withstand their raids.

If they couldn’t kill the enemy in one go, or shatter their resolve, they would just attack several more times!

Carson raised his glass and laughed, ”Everyone has worked hard during this time. Now, the nearest Demon Race troops have been completely routed by us. Unless the whole Demon Race Army pushes through, these cities should be temporarily safe.”

Kellan Gentry clinked his glass with Carson’s, drained it in one gulp, and laughed, ”These times have been too exhilarating, defeating one Demon Race army after another, making them flee in terror—so satisfying!”

Kayson Gross smiled and said, ”We were just tagging along; it all depends on the two seniors!”

Stella Rios and Heath Wells were prodigies from ten thousand years ago, treated respectfully as seniors by Kellan Gentry and Kayson Gross. They didn’t belittle them just because they were servants of Carson Flores.

They were Carson’s servants, not theirs.

Carson smiled and said, ”Indeed, the two of you have played an indispensable role. Let’s all take some time to rest here. I suspect that if the Demon Race comes again, their formation won’t be the same, and they won’t be as easy to deal with.”

Kellan Gentry asked, ”I’ve heard that there are quite a few Great Witches among the Demon Race now. These witches have contracts with Immortals, which allow them to use part of an Immortal’s power and reach a Realm beyond Hollow Void and even Tribulation Crossing. Is that true?”

”Yes.”

Carson laughed, ”Why, are you jealous?”

Kellan Gentry shrugged, ”I am a bit jealous, actually. I’ve worked so hard to reach the peak of the Barbarian Wilderness, but they have completely bypassed the rules through cheating. I can’t beat that, and it really bothers me...”

Carson said, ”Whether it’s a Great Witch or a Demi Immortal, they have all sacrificed something in exchange for strength they shouldn’t naturally possess, essentially draining their potential.”

”Normal Cultivators, if they can achieve Ascension to become Immortals, are able to cross Realms and continue their cultivation upwards. But for them, it’s different. Unless they come across some special opportunity, their Realm will remain the same for life, and they will find it difficult to progress further... Am I right?”

Stella Rios replied, ”Yes. When she gave us the Immortal Origin Pill, she made it clear that we could obtain strength beyond the Transcendance Tribulation Stage and could live for ten thousand years, but our Realm would remain the same for life.”

”Our best outcome would be to complete the mission she entrusted to us and then be led into the Immortal Realm by her. Then, nourished by the Immortal Spirit Qi within the Immortal Realm, we might live another two or three thousand years. That is our limit.”

Kellan Gentry had a sudden realization, ”So that’s how it is. But Ascension to become an Immortal... that’s impossible.”

Carson smiled, ”It was impossible before, but now it’s not entirely out of the question. Let me explain the relationships involved here.”

Carson briefly outlined the feud between Cristopher Hopkins and Maggie Fitzgerald. Kellan Gentry and Jorge Gross were left speechless, and even Stella Rios and Heath Wells were visibly excited upon hearing it.

Although they had been assigned by Maggie Fitzgerald to suppress Cristopher Hopkins, they were unaware of Cristopher Hopkins’s identity. Now, learning she was the daughter of the Thunder Immortal Realm’s Domain Master, they were profoundly shocked.

Before, they had been suppressed by Delarosa. To survive, they had to submit to Carson, but they were very despairing at heart. After all, in their view, going against Maggie Fitzgerald meant certain death in the end.

Now, realizing they had latched onto a lifeline of incredible thickness, even though they had previously been accomplices to her foes, they saw that redemption through meritorious deeds was not out of reach!

Their lifespans were reaching their limits after standing guard for ten thousand years. However, they were now following Carson Flores, the benefactor of Cristopher Hopkins Immortal. If they dedicated themselves wholeheartedly, once Carson ascended into the Immortal Realm, even as servants, wouldn’t they too have a chance to enter the Immortal Realm and live a few thousand more years?

With Carson being a person of such great destiny, his future prospects were bound to be limitless. If they held on tightly to his coattails, there was a chance that they might come across an opportunity to defy the heavens and change their fate, gaining the chance to continue their upward cultivation once more.

They were all in!

From this day on, they would devote themselves entirely to Carson Flores!

They would gamble their lives for a sliver of hope for the future!

If previously their small lives were in Carson’s hands, leaving them with no choice but to obey his commands, now their mentality had undergone a significant shift, from passive to active.

Carson looked at the two with their glittering eyes and smiled.

This was exactly what he wanted!
