The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2173: Chapter 2173: Let’s Make a Deal

”After I leave, close the mountain gate temporarily, so as not to fall prey to others.”

Sect Leader Corbin instructed Dennis Reid and others: ”If River Fulton and Mac Browning return, with their presence, the Sect can operate normally. Until they return, be cautious.”

Dennis Reid and the others all nodded: ”Yes, Sect Master.”

Sect Leader Corbin’s gaze fell on Dennis Reid and the others, his mood rather complex.

The Three Saints Sect has thirteen Venerables; logically, its strength should be very formidable. Conquering a Middle Immortal Realm without even a Great Land strongman should be simple, shouldn’t it? Yet why does it seem so strained now?

After River Fulton, Mac Browning, and he left, the mountain gate needed to be closed to prevent Carson Flores from exploiting the emptiness?

The Triple Realm Black Dragon beside Carson Flores is like a thorn in the flesh of the Three Saints Sect, making them uneasy.

If you ignore him, he strikes ferociously, making you bleed. If you pursue him, you can’t find where he’s hiding.

Being a thief for a thousand days is easier than guarding against one for a thousand days.

Sect Leader Corbin harbors some regret deep in his heart, knowing today’s situation could have been avoided had he accepted Carson Flores’ terms after the first defeat, thereby preventing Sergio Wilkins’ betrayal and the theft of the Reincarnation Scripture Stele.

Now Carson Flores lurks like a rat in the shadow, keeping a steadfast watch on him while remaining elusive in this colossal Three Saints Sect, causing considerable embarrassment.

Sadly, there’s no path for regret now.

Sergio Wilkins’ betrayal and the loss of the stele are like harsh slaps across Sect Leader Corbin’s face.

The lost face must be recovered!

The warrant has been issued; it can’t just fade away without consequence. What would others think?

”Alright, I’m leaving!”

Sect Leader Corbin, with a mix of emotions, departed the Three Saints Sect, heading toward the Flowing Cloud Sect for a meeting.

They’re likely waiting to see his humiliation, aren’t they?

Especially those two who are at odds with him, with such a significant incident and loss of face at the Three Saints Sect, they would surely ridicule him ruthlessly!

Thinking of this, Sect Leader Corbin’s mood worsened.

He, along with a few promising Sect’s Disciples, boarded the Flying Boat, progressing forward only to be suddenly obstructed a thousand miles away by someone shouting with laughter.

”Sect Leader Corbin, it’s been a while, hope you’re well!”

Sect Leader Corbin stood up upon seeing the person hovering mid-air ahead, his face changing: ”Carson Flores, you dare to seek me out?”

Blocking the way, Carson Flores spread his hands and smiled slightly: ”Why wouldn’t I dare? You know well, though you are in the Fifth Layer Great Completion, you can’t do anything against me.”

Sect Leader Corbin couldn’t help but grind his teeth, knowing Carson Flores spoke the truth!

He had killed Carson Flores once, yet Carson Flores emerged intact due to his unique Doppelganger Divine Ability.

He couldn’t kill Carson Flores’ true form; destroying only Carson Flores’ incarnations may slightly affect Carson Flores’ vitality but has no substantial effect.

”Why are you blocking me? To brag that you’ve been watching me continuously?”

Carson Flores laughed: ”Not at all, I’ve come today to discuss business with Sect Leader Corbin.”

Sect Leader Corbin frowned: ”Business, what kind of business?”

Carson Flores smiled and tossed a Soulmirror Stone: ”Sect Leader Corbin, look at this, then we’ll discuss.”

Sect Leader Corbin caught the Soulmirror Stone, injected spiritual power, causing an image to flash instantly.

A mere glance made Sect Leader Corbin’s expression change.

The image depicted River Fulton and Mac Browning standing before Carson Flores, faces full of unwillingness.

Sect Leader Corbin boldly spoke, eyes filled with disbelief: ”Did you capture them?”

Carson Flores slightly smiled: ”What else? If I hadn’t sealed their Sea of Consciousness, do you think they’d stand silently before me, watching me gloat?”

Sect Leader Corbin’s expression turned unsightly, his heart deeply shocked.

How is this possible?

River Fulton and Mac Browning are both in the Triple Realm; how could Carson Flores possibly capture them?

Yet the truth was before his eyes; they were indeed captured.

No, wait!

Sect Leader Corbin suddenly awoke, his gaze fixed on the image with doubtful eyes.

The image was short, devoid of dialogue or exchanges, seemingly even somewhat blurry...

Is this truly River Fulton and Mac Browning?

Or is it all fake?

Carson Flores is trying to deceive him?

Closely inspecting it, the two indeed seemed real, yet subtle details hinted that it might all be fake, a trick.

Sect Leader Corbin coldly chuckled: ”You’re quite capable, capturing them, indeed?”

Carson Flores laughed: ”Did you not send them to conquer the Thunder Immortal Realm? Naturally, I wouldn’t let you succeed, as I employed some minor tactics for capture.”

Sect Leader Corbin inwardly sneered: ”Is that so? Then what business do you want to discuss?”
