The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2198: Chapter 2198: Is This Kid Out of His Mind?

”Name your price.”

Carson Flores said straightforwardly, ”But let me say something ugly upfront, I need to verify that your information is true before I give you the Spirit Stones.”

The middle-aged man smiled, ”Naturally, as long as you can afford it, I’ll personally lead you to the place. However, whether you can get your hands on it depends on your own skills.”

Carson nodded, ”That’s natural, as long as it’s confirmed the Harmony Spring is real, that’s enough.”

The middle-aged man extended a finger, ”Ten Million Spirit Stones.”

Carson nodded cleanly, ”Deal.”

The middle-aged man showed a pleased expression and gave a thumbs-up, ”Generous! When will you have time? I’ll take you all over.”

Carson asked, ”How far is it from here?”

The middle-aged man replied, ”If you’re fast, about four to five days.”

Carson was taken aback, ”That’s so close?”

The middle-aged man laughed, ”Yeah, isn’t this just a coincidence?”

Carson calculated silently; with a four to five-day journey, a round trip would be about ten days. He’d still make it back for the official start of the Wanshen Conference. Of course, even if he didn’t make it back, it wouldn’t matter; the Harmony Spring is the top priority!

”I’m free now!”

The middle-aged man nodded, ”Then let’s start as soon as possible. If things go smoothly, we can still return for the Wanshen Conference.”

”Alright, wait a moment.”

Carson put away the token and went back to the hotel, meeting up with Spencer Steele and Sergio Wilkins.

”Spencer, this hairpin is for you.”

Spencer’s eyes lit up and he received it with both hands, ”Thank you, Master.”

Carson smiled, ”Do you like it?”

Spencer answered with bright eyes, ”It’s beautiful, I like it.”

Carson laughed, ”I’m glad you like it. Let’s go, we need to go out.”

Soon, Carson met the middle-aged man at the foot of Tianyu City. The middle-aged man asked curiously, ”Fellow Daoist, isn’t your wife coming?”

Carson smiled, ”She has other things to attend to.”

The middle-aged man’s eyes flashed with a trace of disappointment, and he smiled, ”Then let’s set off. By the way, my name is Samson Duncan, you can call me Old Sam. How should I address you?”

”Carson Flores.”

Carson took out the Flying Boat and carried the two toward the west.

Four days later, the two arrived amidst a range of mountains, where Samson Duncan maneuvered the Flying Boat, flying swiftly through the mountains until they reached a valley.

Carson surveyed the surroundings, ”Is the Harmony Spring here?”

Samson Duncan laughed, ”It’s in the cave at the end of the valley, but there’s a Demonic Beast guarding it, I’m afraid to get close...”

Carson asked, ”What kind of Demonic Beast? Is it formidable?”

Samson Duncan glanced back at Carson, ”You’ll know when you see it.”

Flying Boat flew low into the base of the valley, turning a large bend, when suddenly a campsite appeared below, with shadows moving around.

Carson frowned, ”Why are there people here? Are they also after the Harmony Spring?”

Samson Duncan chuckled maliciously, ”Daoist Flores, welcome to Hell.”

Samson Duncan slammed a palm onto the Flying Boat’s control panel, which was immediately shattered, descending towards the camp below, while Samson himself flew up, laughing loudly, ”Brothers, the fat sheep has arrived!”

Fat sheep?

Carson detached from the Flying Boat, suspended mid-air, his eyes cold.

Several figures flew from the camp below, quickly surrounding Carson in the middle, while a tall man among them laughed, ”Who is this kid?”

Samson Duncan chuckled, ”Judging by his accent, he’s a foreigner. He spent a fortune for the message about the Harmony Spring. I quoted him Ten Million Spirit Stones, and he agreed without hesitation.”

The tall man laughed heartily, ”Not bad, this time you’ve really contributed.”

Samson Duncan said regretfully, ”His wife is super beautiful, too bad she didn’t come. Otherwise, there’d be fun.”

The tall man stared at Carson, ”Kid, be sensible, save yourself some pain.”

Carson looked over the surrounding people and said calmly, ”You’re robbers? Searching for fat sheep during the Wanshen Conference, then finding an excuse to lure people over for robbery?”

The tall man laughed heartily, ”Accept your fate, kid. When the Bloody Hand Group acts, we never miss. You look not bad; you’ll fetch a decent price.”

Carson’s gaze landed on Samson Duncan, ”So you’re simply deceiving me, trying to rob me, and you really don’t know anything about the Harmony Spring?”

Samson Duncan’s smile froze, his eyes showing some astonishment.

At this point, isn’t he supposed to be worried about his own safety? How is he still concerned about the Harmony Spring’s news?

This kid might just have a screw loose, right?

Or perhaps... he’s fearless?

Samson Duncan coldly said, ”Focus more on yourself. Hopefully, your wealth is substantial enough that you can suffer a bit less...”

Carson’s gaze fell on the tall man, ”Bloody Hand Group? Are you their leader? You don’t seem that strong; do you not even have a Great Land Sovereign?”
