The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2088: Chapter 2088: The True Son of Destiny

”You’re in the Early Celestial Immortal stage? How old are you?”

The young woman in the blue robe, Judith Hamilton, sized up Carson Flores, seeming slightly dissatisfied and asked.

Carson Flores smiled and said, ”Quite old, maybe on the verge of death, but I won’t die that quickly.”

Carson meant very simply, regardless of my age, I may be very old, possibly about to die, but I won’t die so soon, not during the time we’re in the Heavenly River Secret Realm, so you don’t need to worry.

Judith Hamilton raised an eyebrow, snorted to the intermediary, ”Can’t you find us someone in the Late Celestial Immortal stage?”

The intermediary smiled and said, ”Team formation is a mutual selection, you choose others, others also have to choose their teammates. This Daoist Flores is already the most suitable person.”

Beside them, a young man sitting cross-legged with an arrogant expression, Mack Conley, spoke coldly, ”That’s enough. As long as there are five Celestial Immortals, we can operate the Five Extremes Formation. The power doesn’t matter too much as long as we gather enough people.”

Judith Hamilton’s eyebrows shot up, ”The Heavenly River Secret Realm is full of dangers. A higher power level is surely better than a lower one, right?”

Mack Conley coldly answered, ”You’re also in the Early Celestial Immortal stage, so why would someone in the Late or even Peak Heavenly Immortal stage team up with you? They could crush you with one hand. What would they gain from teaming up with you?”

Judith Hamilton angrily said, ”Mack Conley, I’m just thinking about the group’s welfare, why are you targeting me?”

Mack Conley calmly replied, ”I’m just stating the facts.”

The two were at loggerheads, and the man sitting next to them, Callan Mason, mediated, ”There’s room for negotiation. If we smoothly form a team, we’ll be teammates facing various dangers together. Why are we arguing now?”

The remaining woman in colorful clothes, Chana Hinton, spoke calmly, ”Let’s leave it at that. No more fussing.”

With those words, Judith Hamilton pursed her lips but didn’t stir up trouble again, huffing, ”If you all say it’s fine, then it’s fine. Guess I spoke out of turn.”

Carson Flores didn’t make a sound, anyway, he wasn’t planning to stick with them for long, he could slip away whenever he pleased.

Seeing everyone stop arguing, the intermediary man brought out an Oath Puppet with a smile.

Carson had long heard of the Oath Puppet, but this was the first time he had seen it in person. He originally thought it should have a more mysterious appearance, but upon seeing it, he was disappointed.

This is it?

The Oath Puppet stood about thirty centimeters tall, a wooden carving, crudely made, with a featureless face. Only its stomach bore intricate engravings that formed a circular pattern, at the center of which was the flamboyant word ”Oath”.

Carson squinted slightly, sensing the aura of ”Dao” from it. It appeared that this Oath Puppet was crafted by a master who understood the Dao of Promises, and the word ”Oath” was likely inscribed by him personally, infused with the aura of Dao.

Oaths are standardized, meticulously refined, leaving no loopholes, yet they do not overly constrain the oath-taker.

Carson checked it over, confirming it was correct, and then everyone forced a drop of blood from their hearts onto the word ”Oath” before reciting the oath, thus sealing their pact.

Carson felt a mysterious connection with the others, and as the oath was completed, this feeling quickly faded, disappearing entirely. Yet Carson was aware that should he break this vow, the consequences would be dire.

After the intermediary man left with a smile, Mack Conley glanced over the four of them and said gravely, ”My strength is at the Middle Celestial Stage, just a hair away from the Late Celestial Immortal stage. I’ll take the role of team leader, no objections, right?”

”No objections.”

”You’re the strongest, plus you have the Five Extremes Formation, we’ll naturally follow you.”

”Alright!”

Mack Conley nodded in satisfaction and said solemnly, ”Although none of us are in the Late Celestial Immortal stage, with the Five Extremes Formation in my possession, as long as we work together, killing a Peak Heavenly Immortal is not impossible. So long as we don’t provoke enemies above the Great Land Supreme level, we should not be in danger.”

”Additionally, there’s something I need to let everyone know. I possess a Strong Fate Destiny Pattern, and my fortune is extremely strong. Whether exploring or treasure hunting, I never return empty-handed, unless the place I search has no treasures at all.”

Everyone, including Carson, widened their eyes in shock and joy.

A Strong Fate Destiny Pattern?

Carson had heard of such a destiny pattern. To put it simply, such a person is the true Son of Destiny, favored by the heavens, able to pick up gold on a broad road or find Immortal Elixirs on a small path!

Carson was quite surprised. His own luck had always been good, often being called a Son of Destiny, but today he seemed to have met the real deal amid his imposture!

Suddenly, Carson felt a lot more anticipation for this adventure!
