The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1464: Chapter 1464: I Can Pretend to be Mighty Again!

Gideon Campbell stared into Carson Flores’ eyes and slowly shook his head.

”The quantity of Green Lotus Fire Spring is very limited. Even for our own use, it’s barely enough. It has always been a non-sale item...”

”Non-sale item?”

Carson Flores made a surprised face: ”Even at the highest price, you won’t sell it?”

Gideon Campbell answered without hesitation: ”Yes, even at the highest price, we won’t sell it.”

Carson Flores sighed, standing up with a regretful expression: ”That’s truly a pity. Looks like I’ll have to leave empty-handed.”

”Daoist Flores, wait,”

Gideon Campbell stood up to stop him and hesitated for a moment before saying, ”Let me be honest. Our Valley of Myriad Medicines is currently in big trouble. If Daoist Flores can represent the White Crane Immortal Sect and help us resolve this trouble, I’m willing to offer you a portion of Green Lotus Fire Spring as gratitude.”

Carson Flores sat back down: ”I’m just one person and can’t represent the White Crane Immortal Sect. However, Fellow Daoist Campbell, you can tell me the details, and I’ll see if I can be of help?”

Gideon Campbell nodded and proceeded to explain thoroughly.

The matter wasn’t overly complex. Disciples of the Valley of Myriad Medicines and the disciples of the Green Willow Sect fought fiercely over an Immortal Elixir. Two disciples of the Green Willow Sect were killed in the battle, one of whom was the son of their elder.

Because of this, the Green Willow Sect and Valley of Myriad Medicines engaged in a large-scale battle, resulting in many deaths and injuries. The conflict didn’t resolve but instead escalated.

A few days ago, the Valley Master went out and was ambushed, returning severely injured and in a coma. Following this, the Green Willow Sect came knocking with an astronomical compensation request that included the Green Lotus Fire Spring.

The Green Willow Sect declared that if the Valley of Myriad Medicines didn’t provide compensation within ten days, they would flatten the entire valley and erase it from existence.

The Valley of Myriad Medicines sent people to seek help, but those emissaries were quickly beaten and thrown back at the valley’s entrance. The Green Willow Sect evidently sealed off the valley entrance, leaving no chance for them to seek assistance.

Today is the ninth day. Tomorrow is the final deadline.

And at this moment, Carson Flores arrived, asking outright to purchase the Green Lotus Fire Spring, making it hard not to suspect him of being in league with the Green Willow Sect.

Carson Flores asked, ”Is the Green Willow Sect really that powerful?”

Gideon Campbell replied, ”Their strength is about on par with the Valley of Myriad Medicines, but my master was ambushed and severely injured. He was our valley’s strongest. Without him, there’s no one left who can compete with the Green Willow Sect’s Supreme Elder, Nathanael Hinton. Nathanael Hinton is at the Golden Immortal Early Stage.”

Carson Flores now had a general understanding of the Thunder Immortal Realm’s power hierarchy. Lesser sects were negligible, while groups like the Sea Cloud Sect, among others Carson had encountered before, could be considered mid-tier forces, with their top combatants usually being Peak True Immortals.

Sects like the White Crane Immortal Sect or Infinite Sword Sect, which housed Golden Immortals or even Peak Golden Immortals, were categorized as top-tier forces, while those with Heavenly Immortal Realm experts were regarded as superpowers.

As for those even beyond Immortal, Carson Flores wasn’t sure if the Thunder Immortal Realm had such beings.

The strength of a sect was determined by its strongest individual. Even if there was only one person, as long as they were powerful enough, they could command universal respect.

The White Crane Immortal Sect had once produced a superpower like Bank Austin, making it technically a superpower as well. However, Bank Austin had left, and for thousands of years, he had not returned. Naturally, the sect’s prestige had gradually diminished.

Still, anyone planning to challenge or obliterate the White Crane Immortal Sect would inevitably have to consider the possibility of Bank Austin’s sudden return and how they would confront him then.

Bank Austin might no longer be present, but he remained a protective amulet for the White Crane Immortal Sect.

Don’t be fooled by the seemingly small distinctions between realms. Once beyond Immortal, even a minor disparity in stages—early to mid-stage—created a gap as vast as an abyss, incredibly difficult to surmount.

Carson Flores asked, ”You said the Valley Master and Nathanael Hinton were evenly matched. Who could have ambushed him then?”

Gideon Campbell shook his head: ”I don’t know. The ambusher was significantly stronger than my master, wore a mask, and didn’t reveal their true identity.”

Carson Flores understood the situation and decisively said: ”I’ve got the gist. Let me discuss it with my companions. Is that okay?”

”Sure. I’ll handle some matters first and come back later,”

said Gideon Campbell as he left. Carson Flores turned to the side and asked, ”Fairy, why did you suddenly push me into this mess?”

Selah Ellison Fairy reasoned confidently: ”Aren’t you the subordinate? Shouldn’t handling such trivial matters be your job? Or do you expect me to negotiate with him?”

You make an excellent point!

Carson Flores had no arguments against her logic and moved straight to the main topic: ”So what now?”

Selah Ellison Fairy replied indifferently: ”I must obtain the Green Lotus Fire Spring.”

Carson Flores nodded: ”Fine. Then we’ll stay here. The weaker ones, I can handle. But the stronger ones, you’ll have to deal with them yourself, Fairy.”

Selah Ellison Fairy fixed her gaze on Carson Flores: ”You can cut down Peak True Immortals with one strike. What’s there to fear from a mere Golden Immortal Early Stage?”

Carson Flores admitted straightforwardly: ”The few Sword Qi techniques that my predecessor gave me are purely for survival. Each use depletes them, and unless absolutely necessary, it’s best not to use them.”

Selah Ellison Fairy understood and didn’t pry further: ”Alright. If you can’t handle it, I’ll step in.”

Carson Flores heaved a sigh of relief and chuckled: ”Then we’re good. Looks like I can play the fox borrowing the tiger’s authority for a bit now...”
