The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1936: Chapter 1936: Who Do You Think You Are?

Carson Flores was very displeased.

The Round Table Council of the Heavenly Demon Continent has seven seats, and your Hundred Demons Sect is not among them, is it?

Even the chief Palace Master of the Heavenly Fox Palace, Lucille Austin, wouldn’t dare treat me with this attitude. Yet you, a mere elder of the Hundred Demons Sect, act so arrogantly, treating the Celestial Palace as nothing. Who gave you this courage?

The faint smile on Carson Flores’s face vanished, and he said calmly, ”Well, I apologize, but the Celestial Palace has some matters to discuss with the Jiao Ren. I’m planning to take him back to the Celestial Palace, and whatever grievances your Hundred Demons Sect has with him can wait until after the Celestial Palace’s matters are concluded.”

The Jiao Ren’s eyes were filled with astonishment, and a glimmer of hope reappeared in his once-desperate eyes.

He clearly didn’t expect Carson Flores to speak up for him. After all, if he were dead, the promise owed to him wouldn’t need to be fulfilled, would it?

The elder’s face changed dramatically, and his gaze turned icy and fierce. ”What, you want to intervene and protect this Jiao Ren? Let me tell you, this is the Heavenly Demon Continent, not the Celestial Palace!”

Carson Flores chuckled coldly, his voice suddenly turning sharp and assertive, his presence becoming immensely intimidating. ”When the Celestial Palace wants to question someone, do we need your Hundred Demons Sect’s approval? Even the Heavenly Fox Palace Master doesn’t dare speak to me in such a manner. You, an elder of the Hundred Demons Sect, who do you think you are? To show such attitude, disregarding the authority of the Celestial Palace, do you wish for your Hundred Demons Sect to meet its end?”

Carson Flores’s reprimanding words echoed through the sky, causing the faces of all the Hundred Demons Sect disciples to change drastically, anger rising in their eyes.

Carson Flores was essentially trampling on the Hunded Demons Sect’s dignity!

However, despite their anger, none of the disciples dared to speak up.

Even though the Celestial Palace does not manage the affairs of the Heavenly Demon Continent, it doesn’t mean the Celestial Palace isn’t powerful. The Domain Master who unified the Thunder Immortal Realm had to have substantial strength for anyone to willingly submit.

The Celestial Palace not involving itself in the affairs of the Heavenly Demon Continent doesn’t mean it lacks the ability to annihilate the Hundred Demons Sect!

All eyes were focused on the elder, as he was the authority here.

The elder’s face flushed red with anger, unable to believe that Carson Flores would challenge him so openly, humiliating him in public.

Who do you think you are?

With that simple sentence, he was cast into the abyss of disgrace; if he did nothing today, his reputation would be utterly ruined. In the future, whenever this incident is mentioned, he would be humiliated again.

Although people could understand, since that was a special envoy of the Celestial Palace, an identity beyond the ordinary, who let you be humiliated, then?

We are the autonomous citizens of the Heavenly Demon Continent; we are the Demon Race!

The elder gritted his teeth, staring intently at Carson Flores, ”Even for a special envoy of the Celestial Palace, reason should prevail. This Jiao Ren killed our Hundred Demons Sect disciples and must naturally be executed for revenge!”

Carson Flores snorted at the elder’s justification, ”When I was polite, you took me as incompetent, and when I take a firm stance, you want to talk about reason. Ha!”

Ha!

The casual laughter carried an indescribable note of mockery, leaving a lingering sense of humiliation in one’s heart.

Carson Flores had no interest in entertaining the elder, pointing at the Jiao Ren below, ”I know you Demon Race of the Heavenly Demon Continent are used to freedom, thinking the heavens are high, and the Emperor is far, that maybe the Celestial Palace cannot touch you, but let me make it clear: this Jiao Ren is wanted by the Celestial Palace. Anyone who lays a hand on him is an enemy of the Celestial Palace. If you aren’t afraid of being exterminated, then by all means, try it!”

Carson Flores’s words were decisive and forceful, displaying dominance and resolve.

As a special envoy of the Celestial Palace, revealing his identity meant he represented the Celestial Palace. If he backed down today, wouldn’t that mean the Celestial Palace was showing weakness?

Who knows what tales this group would spread afterward!

Carson Flores was not the type to sit by and watch the Jiao Ren be killed, allowing himself to forfeit the dirty business involved in their previous dealings.

Since the man helped him earlier, he couldn’t idly watch him be killed, could he?

If he didn’t have the ability, it would be another matter. But since he did, he naturally had to step in and protect him.

The elder found himself at an impasse, should he take action or not?

This guy is just a special envoy; does he really have such power?

If he subdued him, would the Celestial Palace indeed unleash all its might to avenge him and deal with the Hundred Demons Sect?

The elder reconsidered, if the Celestial Palace were to forcibly involve itself in the Heavenly Demon Continent and suppress the Hundred Demons Sect, it would be a grave situation.

If the Celestial Palace could suppress the Hundred Demons Sect today, then they could suppress the Heavenly Fox Palace tomorrow!

There’s a tacit understanding in the Heavenly Demon Continent to handle internal matters internally and resist the Celestial Palace’s rule together outwardly. Thus, if such a day truly came, the Demon Race’s Round Table Council wouldn’t stand idly by.

Thinking of this, the elder’s confidence grew.

Even if I provoke you, should something happen, other Demon Races wouldn’t just watch silently.

I’m not afraid of you!

True, I may not dare to kill you, but can’t I at least stop you?

As long as I stop you, while the others kill this Jiao Ren, what can you do about it?

With that thought, the elder waved his hand, signaling to several individuals on the left, ”You, stop them; the rest, strike immediately, kill the Jiao Ren!”

At the elder’s command, the Hundred Demons Sect disciples around him lit up, their eyes burning with excitement as they quickly split into two groups—one surrounding the Jiao Ren, while the other charged toward Carson Flores.
