The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1269: Chapter 1269: This multiple-choice question isn’t difficult; anyone can do it!

Stella Rios thought Carson Flores hadn’t heard clearly, and replied again: ”His name is Francisco Smith...”

Carson Flores showed a strange expression on his face: ”Is he from the Crane Sect of Nutwood Mountain?”

Stella Rios shook her head: ”That I’m not sure of. After joining the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect, he never talked about his past, even wearing a mask whenever he took action...”

Carson Flores asked: ”What does he look like?”

Stella Rios reminisced: ”Young, handsome, tall...”

As Stella Rios described him, Carson Flores’s expression became increasingly subtle.

It’s really him!

Among the Four Sects of Nutwood Mountain, the son of the Deputy Sect Master of the Crane Sect, hailed together with Killian Jaramillo as the Twin Prides among the young generation of disciples of Nutwood Mountain.

Carson Flores had conflicts with Francisco Smith, initially triggered by Killian Jaramillo’s attitude towards him, which evoked Francisco’s jealousy, and an unconscious desire to eliminate Carson, his rival.

He had attacked Carson, but got thoroughly humiliated by the Water-Fire Mirror, deepening their animosity.

Later, after Carson entered his Sect and had the Sect’s support, Francisco Smith stopped clashing directly with him, but Carson could still feel his hostility.

In the wastelands, Bryant James orchestrated a tea gathering, forming a team for Misrds State, and Francisco Smith lost face in front of Carson once again.

That was also their last close encounter; the last time everyone entered the True Dragon Secret Realm, Carson had no contact with him.

Shortly after the True Dragon Secret Realm, the city of Kongyuan was suddenly refined; Carson’s investigation led him to the Three Devil Sect, where he learned that a mysterious figure was behind them, providing the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Array.

Now thinking back, Francisco Smith was that mysterious person, the true culprit behind the bloodshed in Kongyuan!

He must have obtained the inheritance of the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Array in the True Dragon Secret Realm, unwilling to accept the slow progress of his strength, he ventured onto the Path of Refinement, attempting to build his growth on the lives and blood of others.

Perhaps, deep down, he always saw himself as Carson’s enemy, even though Carson later did not target him specifically. But doubtless, the prideful Francisco must have thought that Carson’s success was just a fluke and believed himself to be more superior, eager to prove this point.

The reasons, no longer matter.

Since he has taken the Path of Refinement and committed such atrocity, he must die.

Carson Flores would later issue a declaration in the name of the Human Emperor, proclaiming his crimes to the world, effectively a warrant for his arrest.

Carson Flores asked: ”What about the others?”

Stella Rios replied: ”All the others were killed, not one escaped, not a single Primordial Spirit survived.”

Carson Flores stood up and asked: ”Is the Demon Race army preparing to retreat?”

”Yes, preparations are underway.”

”Then let’s wait.”

He must oversee the retreat of the Demon Race Army, ensuring no unexpected issues arise.

Millions from the Demon Race Army, facing a single Soulmirror Stone, chose to retreat and even surrender, a turn of events that left Carson Flores extremely contemplative.

The combination of absolute force and the temptation of Ascension to Immortality; neither the Demon Emperor nor the Holy Monarch could resist!

Either become Immortal or die!

Given such a choice, anyone would make the same decision!

Conquer the world, conquer the Human Race?

That required actual power, the ability to make it happen!

After half a day, the Demon Race Army reorganized and turned back, heading towards their original path.

”Stella Rios, follow them, confirm their return to Easty Prefecture, and then find me back in Winter Chill City. If I have left, I will leave instructions for you at the City Lord’s Mansion.”

”Okay!”

Leaving Stella Rios behind to ensure the Demon Race Army’s return, Carson Flores headed back to Winter Chill City with Heath Wells.

City Lord’s Mansion.

Kellan Gentry, Jorge Gross, the City Lord of Winter Chill City, and many Cultivators who had rushed over preparing to join Carson Flores in battle against the Demon Race were dumbfounded after hearing Carson’s account.

The Demon Race Army has retreated?

The war is over?

Kellan Gentry was dumbstruck: ”We hadn’t even begun fighting, how did it end so suddenly?”

Carson Flores smiled: ”Isn’t it good that it’s over? Warfare would have cost lives. We haven’t even started fighting, yet see how many civilians have already died. If an actual battle ensued, how many more would perish?”

Kellan Gentry laughed: ”Of course, not fighting is good. I just think this turnaround is a bit too abrupt. The entire continent is converging here, and now you’re saying it’s over, hasn’t this trip been in vain?”

Carson Flores smiled: ”Since they’ve already come, we can’t let it be for nothing. Even though the Demon Race has been forced by circumstances to promise not to invade past Easty Prefecture into Human Race territory again, I think the Human Race should still protect our own borders.”

”Previously, although the major powers of the Human Race were strong, they were like scattered sand. If we had really fought, we would have suffered greatly, and who knows how many would have died in vain. So, I’m thinking of proposing the establishment of a joint defense department.”

”In the three states, we’ll set up a Human Race defense line, protect Human Race cities, so that what happened this time won’t be repeated - the Demon Race Army bearing down, city after city falling into their hands, while the major powers of the Human Race fail to unite effectively, only able to keep retreating, abandoning defenses, letting countless cities fall to the Demon Race...”

Carson Flores spoke in a solemn voice: ”The fate of the Human Race should be in the hands of the Human Race themselves!”
