The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2142: Chapter 2142: The Sword Is in My Hand—How Can You Defeat Me?

Tatum Howard hovered mid-air, looking down at Ben Singleton below, his eyes heavy with concern.

”You’ve managed to hold back well, but you’re mistaken. Even if I knew the truth, I would still let you go. You’re not the only one who hates me. I keep you alive merely as a whetstone to urge me not to indulge, not to stay stagnant.”

Ben Singleton laughed heartily, ”Really? Do you dare say that if you knew the truth, you would have listened to the suggestions of an Array Master like me when you built this tomb?”

Tatum Howard remained silent for a few seconds, then nodded, ”Yes, I thought the world would end and all grievances would settle into dust. Yet I didn’t expect you to place your revenge in this distant and unforeseeable future...”

Ben Singleton sneered, ”Yes, if we both died back then, or if I were completely dead, this grudge would naturally have faded away. Since neither of us died, I naturally have to come and settle accounts with you.”

”Not just for my woman, my child, but also for those loyal subordinates who followed me to death at your hands.”

”Back then, when I fought you with all my strength and you let me go, I said I wouldn’t lay down everything just because you spared me. I would still come back to settle this account with you.”

Tatum Howard’s eyes flared with anger. Clearly, the current situation exceeded his expectations.

He first captured some people, using Soul Search to seize many memories, comprehending every aspect of the God Immortal Domain, and understanding the strength of those who entered the Heavenly River Secret Realm before confidently showing himself, prepared to take down these people directly.

In Tatum Howard’s estimation, even with his appearance, the strongest among them was merely a Great Land Immortal, whom he could easily suppress. Who would dare retaliate if he killed one or two leaders?

Tatum Howard’s calculations weren’t wrong. If Lord Sosa hadn’t brought the Yin Divine Wood, he would never have dared to risk his life against Tatum Howard, as he clearly judged Tatum Howard’s strength to surpass his own!

But Lord Sosa happened to have the Yin Divine Wood, and it just so happened that Tatum Howard faced Lord Sosa first. The strategy of killing one to warn others hadn’t even played out, and as Lord Sosa said, who would choose to be a dog when they could be a person?

All these factors combined led to Lord Sosa’s desperate strike with the Yin Divine Wood, prompting the others to attack the groups of Primordial Spirits together.

When everyone saw Tatum Howard using a golden sword to suppress the three great powers, their hearts sank to the bottom.

It was over!

Yet at this moment, Ben Singleton’s appearance instilled hope in everyone.

Ben Singleton?

Who is he?

From their conversation, he seems formidable, having been a rival to Tatum Howard and fought him with all his strength?

As everyone pondered over Ben Singleton’s identity, Tatum Howard shouted angrily, ”Do you think you’ve already won today? I could defeat you, the Leisurely Dragon Monarch, in the past, and I can defeat you again today. You will always be my defeated foe!”

The Leisurely Dragon Monarch!

He turned out to be one of the Three Monarchs, the Leisurely Dragon Monarch!

Many people turned their heads in unison, looking at Carson Flores and others hiding behind the crowd, eyes filled with bewilderment.

They clearly remembered that Ben Singleton came in with this group, so what’s their situation?

Carson Flores had speculated earlier, and now that speculation was confirmed, he wasn’t too shocked. But Judith Hamilton and others were all gaping, dumbfounded.

The unconscious young man they rescued turned out to be the Leisurely Dragon Monarch?

Oh my!

They had previously watched, deep in the valley, as the people from the Five Great Immortal Sects attacked the Leisurely Dragon Monarch’s tomb. Thousands broke the tomb, but he was awakened after being drained of Essence Blood, eventually disappearing following a full-scale attack by the masses.

Some speculated he was shattered to pieces by that blow, while others hypothesized he escaped. After all, the Leisurely Dragon Monarch’s most formidable Innate Divine Ability was his movement technique—vanishing without a trace, traveling thousands of miles.

They never expected he would faint in the wilderness and be picked up by them.

Could this also be Mack Conley’s luck?

A few people instinctively began to recall their interactions with the Leisurely Dragon Monarch over the past days, wondering if they had offended him.

Carson Flores thought more deeply than the others, pondering why Ben Singleton wanted to travel with them.

He couldn’t believe a strong figure like the Leisurely Dragon Monarch would allow himself to remain unconscious in the wild without precautions. Perhaps he did it deliberately?

Was he using that time to heal his wounds?

Once healed, he woke up, leading them here?

He could have left alone, so why bring them here?

Their strength was insignificant to him; was it because of Mack Conley’s luck?

Perhaps that was the only answer.

Did he form an alliance with them to borrow their fortune?

While Carson Flores was lost in his thoughts, Ben Singleton raised the Underworld Emperor Sword in his hand, coldly smiling, ”The Underworld Emperor Sword is the core of all formations in this entire tomb. Holding the Underworld Emperor Sword puts you in an invincible position, but now that the sword is in my hand, how can you defeat me?”
