The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1866: Chapter 1866: Grand Appearance at the Tianxuan Martial Tournament

“Did the Dragon Clan also collaborate with the Heavenly Alliance?”

Alfred Weaver’s eyes were filled with deep worry. After all, the Dragon Clan was immensely powerful and numerous. If they cooperated with the Heavenly Alliance, the latter’s strength would greatly increase.

Carson Flores smiled and said, “Don’t worry, the Dragon Clan has already terminated their collaboration with the Heavenly Alliance.”

Alfred Weaver looked at Carson Flores in astonishment, “You did that?”

Carson Flores laughed, “I’ve been on the run the whole way, didn’t even have a sip of tea. You treat me to tea, and I’ll tell you the story.”

Alfred Weaver couldn’t help but smile, “Alright, I’ll personally brew tea for you.”

Alfred Weaver stepped forward and gently leaned into Carson Flores’ arms, “Thank you for your hard work. Although I haven’t heard the story yet, I am sure it involved a lot of danger.”

Carson Flores held Alfred Weaver and said with a soft laugh, “Indeed, there were some unexpected events, but luckily it all turned out well. I’m now at the late-stage True Immortal.”

Alfred Weaver lifted his head in surprise from Carson Flores’ embrace, “You were only at the initial stage of True Immortality when you left, and in such a short time, you’ve advanced two minor realms?”

Carson Flores chuckled, “A blessing in disguise, and I also got some good stuff. Reaching the True Immortal Peak shouldn’t be an issue.”

Alfred Weaver’s eyes shone with unrestrained admiration, “You are truly amazing. Thinking back, when I first met you, you were just a Nascent Soul. In such a short time, you’ve reached the late-stage True Immortal. It won’t be long before you’ll surpass me.”

Carson Flores laughed, “The enemies are always too strong. If I don’t work hard, I’ll be crushed. What else can I do?”

After a moment of tenderness, Alfred Weaver held Carson Flores’ hand, led him to sit nearby, and then gently brewed tea for him.

Soon, the tea was ready. Carson Flores held the teacup in both hands, slowly sipping the tea while recounting his journey.

Listening, Alfred Weaver felt his heart race with fear. Even though Carson Flores was sitting calmly before him, he still felt a lingering terror.

If Carson Flores hadn’t encountered the slave who escaped from the Spirit-Separation Sect and learned about the Formation’s flaw, he wouldn’t have been able to escape and would surely have been killed underground.

If Carson Flores hadn’t coincidentally had a Dragon Roar Sword, the Dark Ancestral Dragon would have perished alongside the Ancestor Dragon, and Carson likely would have met his end as well.

Although Carson Flores made substantial gains, enhancing his strength and sealing the Dark Ancestral Dragon in the Dragon Roar Sword to increase its power, Alfred Weaver felt only fear and concern.

What a narrow escape.

“It’s a pity we didn’t locate the Heavenly Alliance’s base; otherwise, we could launch a surprise attack and quash their arrogance.”

Alfred Weaver shook his head, “That’s not important. The key is that you’ve returned safely. They should be surfacing soon.”

Carson Flores suddenly looked up, “What do you mean?”

Alfred Weaver explained, “According to the information gathered, the Heavenly Alliance will participate in this Tian Xuan martial conference and openly appear at this event, no longer hiding and challenging the Celestial Palace openly.”

Carson Flores’ eyes widened, “Isn’t this Tian Xuan martial conference going to be extremely dangerous then?”

Alfred Weaver nodded, “The Heavenly Alliance must be well-prepared. There might be a major battle. After all, they want to establish their influence and attract followers. They have to prove they have strength comparable to the Celestial Palace; otherwise, who would dare join them?”

Carson Flores asked worriedly, “What’s your plan?”

Alfred Weaver calmly replied, “The Celestial Palace has no retreat.”

Carson Flores thought for a moment, agreeing. It’s not terrifying to face rebellion. It’s not scary if you can’t wipe out your opponent immediately. But it’s terrifying if you lack the courage and capability to stand up, for who would still trust you?

Carson Flores nodded, “If that’s the case, then we must gather more Heavenly Immortals. Even if we can’t annihilate the Heavenly Alliance in one go, at least we should ensure we aren’t defeated by them. Otherwise, we will truly lose the public’s trust.”

Alfred Weaver nodded, “Grandpa Patel is already working on that. This conference is extremely dangerous, you…”

Carson Flores interrupted Alfred Weaver, laughing, “You’re not going to tell me not to go, are you?”

Alfred Weaver sighed softly, “I know you probably won’t listen to me, but I really don’t want you to go. If a battle breaks out, it’s a melee of Heavenly Immortals. You only have True Immortal strength, a little carelessness and you’re done for…”

Carson Flores reassured, “Well, if nothing else, you know how good I am at escaping, right? Don’t worry, I won’t show off. If things go south, I’ll take you and run.”

“Besides, I’ve made appointments with several people to meet at the Tian Xuan martial conference. You can’t expect me to stand them up, can you?”

Alfred Weaver looked resigned, “Alright, remember what you said. Never show off; if things go wrong, run.”

Carson Flores chuckled, “My life is precious, definitely… How long until we depart?”

“About two months.”

Carson Flores calculated, “There’s about a month on the road, totaling three months. Yes, that’s about right. I need to focus on my cultivation, strengthen to True Immortal Peak during this time, having a bit more strength will help me run faster.”

Alfred Weaver nodded, “Focus on your cultivation during this time. Don’t worry about other things. If you need anything, just let me know, and I’ll help you prepare…”
