The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Capítulo 1813: Chapter 1813: Your Price Is Too High—We Can’t Afford It!

Callie Matthews’s Sea of Consciousness was sealed, making her a Wasted Immortal unable to utilize Spiritual Energy at the moment. Naturally, she couldn’t kill Carson Flores, so she could only glare fiercely at him.

Carson Flores faced her with a smile, neither angry nor annoyed.

Callie Matthews glared for quite a while. Seeing Carson Flores’s demeanor, she was internally furious, but helpless against him. She simply retracted her gaze, closed her eyes, and ignored him.

Rhys Fox saw that Callie Matthews was silent, and then spoke: “Special Envoy Flores, we really owe it to you this time. Without your plan, we wouldn’t have succeeded so easily, and might have been trapped inside.”

Carson Flores chuckled: “It’s not solely my merit. Without you attracting all their attention, I wouldn’t have succeeded that easily. The upcoming negotiations will rely on you.”

Rhys Fox waved his hand to cast a Soundproof Spell, then spoke: “This incident has alarmed the Azure Dragon Palace; the subsequent matters won’t be trivial.”

Carson Flores smiled: “Talk it out, negotiate well, sign a binding contract to restrain both parties regarding this matter. As for the conflict, the tensions between the Dragon Clan and the Human Race have never ceased, and no one can resolve it.”

Rhys Fox asked: “Regarding the negotiations, any advice, Special Envoy Flores?”

Carson Flores looked at Rhys Fox, smiled, and said: “What is Sect Master Fox’s opinion?”

Rhys Fox replied: “The safe return of our disciples, without exception, is fundamental.”

Carson Flores nodded: “That’s a given, and they will surely agree. We captured not only Callie Matthews but these dozen Golden Immortal Guards as well, whose battle power alone is significantly high.”

Rhys Fox continued: “The Spirit Vein must be returned to us, and a promise from the Azure Dragon Clan not to act against the Spirit Vein again.”

Carson Flores hummed in agreement, without commenting, and asked: “Anything else?”

Rhys Fox answered: “They initiated the attack on us first and killed several of our disciples. They must make appropriate compensation.”

Carson Flores laughed: “Our attack this time killed quite a few of them. I took down three Golden Immortals myself. Well, negotiations are like this: start with a high price, then bargain, and discuss further.”

Rhys Fox largely understood the implied meaning behind Carson Flores’s words and chuckled: “Yes, discuss it further. Special Envoy Flores, do you have any requests here?”

Carson Flores replied: “I need some information about the Heavenly Alliance.”

Rhys Fox instantly understood; the Heavenly Alliance opposes the Celestial Palace, and Carson Flores, as the Immortal Palace Envoy, naturally needs to be vigilant knowing the alliance conspires with the Dragon Clan.

Though alone, Carson Flores has the entire Celestial Palace behind him. With accurate information, the Celestial Palace will inevitably send people to deal with the entire Heavenly Alliance.

What Carson Flores requested pertains to his duties as the Immortal Palace Envoy.

“Alright, Special Envoy Flores, let’s discuss it together when the time comes. Whatever specific requests you have, present them directly to the other side, and negotiate together.”

Carson Flores nodded: “We should be cautious these days; let’s not be taken by surprise. Although Callie Matthews is in our hands, they probably won’t commit such extreme actions, but being careful is always wise.”

The group quickly returned to the Hundred Tribulations Gate, with the Sect entering a state of defense, fully guarded.

Without staying long, Carson Flores and others set out again, heading towards the recently discovered Spirit Vein.

After being attacked by the Dragon Clan last time, the Spirit Vein was occupied by them. If it weren’t for some Sect disciples held by the Dragon Clan, the Hundred Tribulations Gate would have likely gone to war.

Casen Matthews and others had long been waiting there, accompanied by a young woman in green, beautiful and with a high-cold temperament.

Callie Matthews and others were secretly guarded by two Heavenly Immortals and were not present. The negotiations involved only Carson Flores and Rhys Fox leading six Heavenly Immortals.

Casen Matthews saw Carson Flores and the group arrive, his battle spirit soaring: “Where’s my niece?”

Rhys Fox smiled: “She is naturally in a safe place. Once we reach an agreement, she will return. I advise you not to undertake any rash actions; otherwise, casualties are not what we wish to see.”

Casen Matthews sneered: “State your terms.”

Rhys Fox reiterated the previously mentioned points, demanding a substantial sum for compensation.

Casen Matthews, after listening, sneered: “You’re truly greedy; asking for compensation when you’ve killed quite a few of our people recently. Shouldn’t you compensate us too?”

Rhys Fox replied: “The matter originated from your sudden attack on us, killing our Sect elders and capturing our disciples; you must take full responsibility.”

Casen Matthews gritted his teeth but remained silent, instead turning his gaze to the young woman in green nearby.

The young woman in green smiled slightly and said calmly: “Callie Matthews isn’t worth that much. Although the Clan Leader spoils her, that’s a grandfather’s affection for his granddaughter. The Clan Leader isn’t just her grandfather but the Clan Leader of all the Dragon Clan. He cannot forsake his identity as Clan Leader for his granddaughter.”

Carson Flores watched the young woman in green speak calmly, feeling uneasy.

This woman is likely from the Azure Dragon Palace.

Rhys Fox asked in a stern voice: “Who might you be?”

The young woman in green replied: “Norah Matthews, Callie Matthews’s aunt. I am in charge of her matters. Your asking price is too high, we can’t afford it.”
