The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1262: Chapter 1262: She Chose You, Not Me

”The Path of Refinement exists in the Immortal Realm as well, and its situation is, well, much like that in the Barbarian Wilderness Realm. After all, you can imagine that this kind of self-serving Cultivation method would definitely be frowned upon by many. But just like maggots, they always survive and can never be completely eradicated.”

Aarav Austin answered straightforwardly: ”Maggie Fitzgerald has subdued many powerful subordinates, among them is a practitioner of the Refinement Path, whom Maggie Fitzgerald trusts greatly.”

”He requires a great number of Myriad Spirit Blood Pearls for his Cultivation, so Maggie Fitzgerald sent him to the Barbarian Wilderness Realm to aid her against the boss and also to Refine humans and collect Blood Beads.”

”However, he recently encountered some issues with his Cultivation and is temporarily unable to descend to the Lower Realm, so Maggie Fitzgerald handed the task over to me. But he was reluctant to part with those Blood Beads, hence he sent a subordinate to descend with me.”

”The three of us then went to the Demon Race Imperial Palace, found the Demon Emperor, and gave him two options. Either start a war directly with the Human Race, pressuring you and the boss to show up with a massive army, or if he refuses to fight, we kill him and replace him with someone willing to wage war and lead the Demon Race.”

”The Demon Emperor immediately agreed to go to war with the Human Race. The guy who practices the Path of Refinement proposed that wherever our army passed, all the residents of the cities would be Refined into Blood Pills.”

”The Demon Emperor disagreed, saying that if the Human Race were gone and there were no more slaves, then even if they united the continent, it would lose at least half its meaning.”

”I could tell that guy was also unhappy, so I interjected and helped the Demon Emperor out. The guy begrudgingly took a step back and said if the cities surrender without resistance, they’ll be spared, but any that resist will have their defenses breached by the massive army, the entire city sealed, and all Cultivators and citizens will be thoroughly Refined.”

Carson Flores listened in silence, then followed up: ”Where did those from Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect come from?”

Aarav Austin replied: ”When we descended to the Lower Realm, we didn’t head straight for the Demon Emperor’s Palace; instead we went to Eastern Emperor Province to investigate the matter of Maggie Fitzgerald’s Primordial Spirit Incarnation disappearing when it descended before, learning that you, the Human Emperor, were the last person she had seen.”

”We rushed to Nutwood Mountain in Misrds State, planning to capture you or use your relatives to threaten you. However, the entire Nutwood Mountain was deserted, except for a few frail caretakers, all others were gone.”

Carson Flores’s pupils contracted slightly, and he felt a rush of relief. It was fortunate that upon encountering Maggie Fitzgerald’s Primordial Spirit descending, his first reaction was to have his senior sister return to notify everyone to move.

Had it not been for that, Nutwood Mountain would have been awash with blood, with no one able to escape.

”In the process, that guy reached out to the people from Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect. It turns out that those from the Barbarian Wilderness Realm who follow the Path of Refinement were originally their disciples. Seeing someone from the Immortal Realm, they were overjoyed like it was New Year, and without a word, followed him to Victorious East Province. Eventually, they rode on the coattails of the army’s power, and any city that resisted was completely Refined into Blood Pills.”

Upon hearing this, Carson Flores fully understood the whole affair.

Carson Flores silently healed Aarav Austin’s wounds and stood up: ”All set.”

Cristopher Hopkins Immortal said calmly: ”Rest for two shichen, then we set off!”

Aarav Austin agreed neatly: ”Alright, boss!”

Cristopher Hopkins Immortal did not mind him calling her boss. Whether it’s master or boss, as long as he works hard for her, it’s fine. If he really makes a significant contribution in the future, she would not only spare him but also value his service.

Unlike Maggie Fitzgerald, to her, he was just an employer who he could betray at any moment. But since his True Soul was in Cristopher Hopkins’s possession, should he dare to betray her, she could kill him at any time. Such a person could naturally be used with confidence.

Cristopher Hopkins Immortal looked at Carson Flores: ”Walk with me.”

Carson Flores blinked: ”Sure!”

The two of them soared into the sky and arrived at a mountaintop. Cristopher Hopkins Immortal descended, standing on the summit, her clothes fluttering, like an Immortal from a painting.

Well, she was indeed an Immortal, and her demeanor was impeccable!

”I am leaving.”

Cristopher Hopkins Immortal’s voice was clear, with a hint of melancholy.

Carson Flores pursed his lips, not surprised in his heart.

From the moment Aarav Austin revealed the plan, Carson Flores knew Cristopher Hopkins Immortal was leaving.

They had to capture those two Immortals and take direct flight to the Immortal Realm before the others had time to react, then sneak into the Realm Gate. Otherwise, if this opportunity was missed, they might never be able to enter the Immortal Realm again.

If Maggie Fitzgerald knew that all three Immortals had failed, in order to prevent Cristopher Hopkins Immortal from returning to the Immortal Realm, who knows what kind of desperate measures she would take.

For Maggie Fitzgerald, losing most likely meant death, so naturally, she would go to any lengths to kill Cristopher Hopkins Immortal.

Carson Flores responded: ”Okay.”

Cristopher Hopkins Immortal turned her head, her beautiful eyes, like the stars, fixated on Carson Flores: ”I would like to borrow the Ghost Tower...”

Carson Flores smiled: ”The Ghost Tower has not signed a master-servant contract with me; it is free. As long as Delarosa herself is willing, it is fine.”

Cristopher Hopkins Immortal earnestly said: ”Even though the contract is not signed, she chose you, not me.”

Carson Flores, slightly puzzled, said: ”I am just a minor Cultivator at the Divinity Transformation Stage, while you are a favored daughter of heaven, the Domain Master’s daughter, an Immortal herself. Why did she not choose you directly?”
