The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2115: Chapter 2115: He Has the Right to Know the Truth!

Mack Conley looked at Carson Flores, his gaze complex: ”It’s good to be back safe, thank you for standing up for me.”

Carson Flores chuckled: ”No need to thank me, I just can’t stand their aggressive demeanor; they overstep the bounds.”

Mack Conley nodded, saying nothing more, but he kept this matter in his heart.

In this world where one’s life can be extinguished at any moment, Carson Flores knew full well that the opposing party came from the powerful Sea Shark Sect, yet he still dared to stand up and speak for him—something not everyone could do.

Carson Flores diverted Micah Roth and the other three; otherwise, given Micah Roth’s character, who knows how he might torment him?

Possibly even extorting and robbing them, taking everything away, which was entirely plausible since in the Secret Realm, such means were very common.

Regardless of the outcome, this was already a significant favor.

Carson Flores looked at Mack Conley, hesitating slightly but eventually making a decision.

He might leave this team at any moment, and since this matter involved Mack Conley, they traveled together, got along quite well, and it was fate; Carson Flores felt the need to inform the oblivious Mack Conley.

As for what Mack Conley decided to do, that was his concern.

However, with everyone present, speaking out now would certainly be inconvenient, so finding another time would be better.

Mack Conley noticed Carson Flores looking at him with a subtle gaze mixed with sympathy, likely guessing it was due to his predicament, and he sighed, scanning everyone before speaking solemnly: ”I’m sorry, it’s because of my personal matters that everyone suffered losses. These twenty Red Jade Orchid Mushrooms, I will compensate everyone with other things...”

Callan Mason shook his head: ”No need to compensate, encountering robbers in the Secret Realm is far too normal. Dividing up, it’s only a few mushrooms each, you don’t need to mind.”

Chana Hinton and Judith Hamilton also expressed that Mack Conley didn’t need to compensate.

Chana Hinton spoke softly yet firmly: ”Thanks to your good luck, we found so many good things, and you’ve always insisted on splitting them evenly with us. We’ve gained quite a lot, and as a team, we face things together. As long as everyone is safe, nothing else matters!”

Deeply moved, Mack Conley bowed to everyone: ”Thank you all... Since everyone’s here, let’s set off.”

Feeling warm inside, Mack Conley was eager to hit the road, hoping to leverage his good luck to find more good stuff for everyone, as recompense.

No one said much more, continuing on their journey.

In the afternoon, the team made quite a number of discoveries, whose value, though decent, didn’t seem particularly precious to those of Celestial Level.

Night had fallen, and it was no longer suitable to continue the adventure, so everyone found a hard stone wall. A casual punch blasted out a huge, dry stone cave, where they planned to rest.

In the Secret Realm adventure, naturally no one wanted to bother with food. Everyone took elixirs for recovery, sat cross-legged, practiced cultivation quietly, and awaited daybreak.

Mack Conley walked alone to the mouth of the cave, leaned against the wall, and stared blankly at the grey sky.

Carson Flores walked to Mack Conley at the cave’s entrance and whispered: ”Brother Blackwood, shall we talk alone?”

Mack Conley was startled from his thoughts, raised his head slightly surprised, and agreed cheerfully: ”Alright!”

Carson Flores and Mack Conley left the stone cave and went to a nearby mountaintop.

Carson Flores casually cast a Soundproof Spell, and calmly looked at Mack Conley: ”Today I heard some news from Micah Roth’s mouth, as a teammate, after much contemplation, I think I should tell you...”

Mack Conley showed a look of surprise: ”You spoke with Micah Roth?”

Carson Flores nodded, casually fibbing: ”He thinks he has won, naturally he couldn’t help but say more.”

Mack Conley coldly said: ”He must have spoken of my disgraceful expulsion from the sect?”

Carson Flores sighed: ”No, it’s about your junior sister.”

Mack Conley’s face changed abruptly: ”Wasn’t she already dead?”

Carson Flores nodded: ”Yes, how did she die?”

”Wasn’t she killed by Demonic Beasts during a Secret Realm exploration? It’s said quite a few comrades died in that expedition...”

Mack Conley stopped abruptly, his expression shocked, his face turning quite unpleasant, as if he had thought of some dreadful possibility, his voice trembling: ”Could it be she wasn’t killed by Demonic Beasts?”

Carson Flores understood this was cruel to Mack Conley, but felt he should have the right to know the truth.

Carson Flores gently nodded: ”Yes.”

Mack Conley’s eyes suddenly reddened, fists clenched: ”Jiang Yue Lin?”

Jiang Yue Lin was Micah Roth’s senior brother as mentioned by him. Carson Flores gently nodded: ”Yes.”

Mack Conley became instantly agitated, stepped forward, and grabbed Carson Flores’ arm: ”Tell me, how did he cause my junior sister’s death?”

Carson Flores sighed silently and recounted the story he had heard, speaking more obscurely in some places, but it was enough for Mack Conley to understand.

Mack Conley’s eyes were bloodshot, his face contorted, filled with a glow of hatred.

”Jiang Yue Lin!”

”Jiang Yue Lin! I want you to die a miserable death!”
