The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Capítulo 1912: Chapter 1912: Past Causes, Present Effects—Such Is Fate!

The group from the Heavenly Alliance heard Carson Flores’s words and immediately had complex expressions, with many wanting to speak but refraining, glancing around, seemingly with concerns.

Carson Flores smiled, not minding at all.

Between life and death lies great fear; who can truly remain indifferent?

Carson Flores moved past the crowd and walked up to the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas, smiling slightly: “Senior Sister, we meet again!”

The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas sat cross-legged on the ground, initially with a calm demeanor, but upon hearing Carson Flores’s greeting, she struggled to maintain her inner peace.

He called me Senior Sister again!

Previously, he called me Senior Sister to get close and forge a relationship so as not to be killed by me since I had captured him, but now that I am a captive myself, why does he still refer to me as Senior Sister?

The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas’ eyelashes trembled slightly: “Long time no see.”

Carson Flores laughed: “Senior Sister, it’s rare to meet again. I recently acquired a good jar of wine, why don’t we share a drink?”

The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas was silent for a few seconds: “I won’t say anything.”

Carson Flores smiled slightly, glancing over the large group of captives around him: “Senior Sister, you’ve misunderstood. Even if we want to know any information, there will naturally be others here who will speak. I do not need you to tell me anything. I am inviting you for the private reason of our friendship, unconnected to the war between the Celestial Palace and the Heavenly Alliance.”

The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas stared at Carson Flores, who was smiling sincerely.

He originally considered whether to gather some intelligence from the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas, but upon seeing her, he changed his mind.

Since he decided to release her, he should do so openly and not act as if he’s trading information for freedom.

The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas eventually nodded: “Alright!”

Carson Flores turned with an outstretched hand, smiling: “Senior Sister, please!”

The Wine Enthusiast looked at the scene and exclaimed: “Kid, are you planning to release her?”

Carson Flores chuckled: “Yes.”

The Wine Enthusiast seemed to want to say something but ultimately sighed and mumbled: “That’s truly fate…”

The matter between the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas and Carson Flores had been discussed openly by the Immortal Monarch, and everyone was aware that previously the Red-robed Blood Envoy wanted to kill Carson Flores during his Tribulation Crossing at the Mountain of Ten Thousand Serpents but was blocked by the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas, ultimately allowing Carson Flores to safely escape.

Everyone could see that today Carson Flores was returning the favor for the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas allowing him to escape in the past and planned to release her.

Others had previously held criticisms of the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas’s actions, but now, in hindsight, the gentleman’s agreement between the Immortal Monarch and Carson Flores led to the different treatments today.

Others became captives, while the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas was about to return to freedom.

If this isn’t fate, what is?

After Carson Flores and the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas left, the numerous captives exchanged glances.

“If the Immortal Monarch had killed Carson Flores back then, would today’s situation be the same?”

Someone muttered, and the group had subtle expressions, with no one responding for a moment.

Carson Flores took the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas to the lounge on the ship, took out a jar of Immortal Wine from the Ancestor Dragon of the Dragon Clan, and smiled: “This Immortal Wine was brewed personally by the Ancestor Dragon of the Dragon Clan. It tastes quite good, with strong medicinal properties as well. Senior Sister, please try it.”

The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas stared at Carson Flores: “Times have changed; I’m now a captive. You still call me Senior Sister?”

Carson Flores laughed: “Once a Senior Sister, always a Senior Sister. Besides, once you step out of this room, you’ll be free. When I send you away, I’ll lift your prohibition. For now, please bear with it.”

Carson Flores believed the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas wouldn’t risk everything, but he also had to be responsible for those on the ship.

Carson Flores took out a cup, filled it with wine, and smiled: “This wine is strong; please savor it slowly, Senior Sister.”

The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas deeply regarded Carson Flores, lowered her head, raised the cup, and took a light sip. Her dignified face suddenly flushed, instantly adding a touch of feminine softness to her appearance.

The Immortal Monarch’s eyes brightened: “Good wine!”

Carson Flores laughed: “This wine knocks me out after one cup, you being a Heavenly Immortal might enjoy a few more. Later, I’ll pack some for you to take and enjoy slowly.”

The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas stared at Carson Flores and asked: “Why release me?”

Carson Flores laughed: “Back when I was Tribulation Crossing to the True Immortal, Maggie Fitzgerald happened to come by. If not for you blocking them, I might not have died, but my Immortal Path would have ended. I owe you a great favor; now I’m returning that favor to you.”

The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas shook her head: “You saved me once before; I just fulfilled my promise. We are even; you don’t owe me a favor.”

Carson Flores chuckled: “If Senior Sister is really bothered and insists on a reason, it’s because I think Senior Sister is upright, valuing life lightly yet keeping promises. So I want to be friends with you. Senior Sister shouldn’t look down on my low skill, right?”

The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas had a complex expression and smiled bitterly: “You were only advancing to a True Immortal that day, and in just two or three years you’ve ascended to a Golden Immortal. Who dares say they’ll scorn you, especially since your position in the Celestial Palace is rather unique…”
