The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2200: Chapter 2200: The More Ecstatic You Were Before, the More Despairing You Are Now!

The blazing flames scorched the sky, Sword Qi raged on, and space collapsed.

As soon as Sergio Wilkins and the other two acted, Domain Power enveloped the entire canyon, with three distinct Divine Skills ravaging throughout.

The expressions of all the robbers changed.

Fear filled their hearts, especially Samson Duncan, who looked utterly terrified, shock written all over his face.

He initially thought Carson Flores was a wealthy young man from a small place with no experience, easily swayed by his words. Only now did he realize, the reason Carson dared to come along was that he had ample confidence.

Finley Gross turned to flee, decisively and without any hesitation.

He barely made it into the Great Land tier, his talent limited, with no hope of further advancement. That’s why he joined the Bloody Hand Group and became a robber.

This time, at the Wanshen Conference, Earth Immortals from various places gathered to participate, and shady factions like the Bloody Hand Group set their sights on these far-flung Immortals, ready to feast on the occasion.

The organizers of the Wanshen Conference, Lingxiao Gate, gave these people a hundred reasons not to stir trouble in Tianyu City, akin to welcoming death. So, they adopted the safest method.

Deceive!

They sent numerous people into Tianyu City, specially looking for easy prey: those who seemed weak but had apparent wealth, and lured them out of the city to a designated spot to rob them.

The ambush site was predetermined, with special Formations set up around it to prevent the victims from escaping, informing others, or using special means. In short, once inside, they’d vanish without a trace.

For men, it was robbery; for women, it was both robbery and abduction. They were then sold like livestock, and a capable cultivator fetched a handsome price.

Carson Flores and Selah Ellison Venerable One appeared like a newlywed couple, even buying hairpins for each other, which seemed affluent. But they didn’t seem particularly formidable, after all, real bigwigs are long-lived elders, who wouldn’t do things like newlyweds, would they?

With this in mind, Samson Duncan followed them for a while. Seeing Carson purchasing the Harmony Spring at any cost, he decided to test him. When Carson didn’t blink at Ten Million Spirit Stones, Samson knew this was truly a fat lamb, so he used information about the Harmony Spring to lure him, and Carson took the bait.

Hmph, he didn’t even make me swear an oath; this lad is so easy to fool!

The joy Samson felt then was now replaced with utter despair.

What kind of karma had brought such a disaster here, bringing catastrophe to the entire Bloody Hand Group!

He finally understood why the other party didn’t demand an oath or check the veracity, following him here because they had the capability to protect themselves and even counterattack.

If he dared to deceive him, Carson would take his life!

Seeing Carson’s cold eyes fixed on him, Samson felt as if he had fallen into an icy pit, imagining his tragic end.

Harmony Spring?

Samson sensed that this meant if he knew something about the Harmony Spring, he might live; if not, he was worthless and doomed.

It’s over!

How would he know anything about the Harmony Spring?

Wait, a captured prisoner mentioned something about the Harmony Spring; could he know?

Samson glanced around, looking at Finley Gross being chased like a rat by Sergio Wilkins, then at all the Bloody Hand Group members like lambs to the slaughter in front of Selah Ellison Venerable One and Spencer Steele. His knees gave way, and he knelt before Carson Flores.

”Fellow Daoist, spare me!”

The battle ended quickly; the Double Layer Breaking Illusion Realm’s Sergio Wilkins was a pure bully to the Illusion-Breaking Realm Finley Gross, and others under the Great Land, in front of Selah Ellison Venerable One and Spencer Steele, seemed like kindergarten kids, dealt with easily one by one.

Soon, all the Bloody Hand Group members were subdued. Apart from those killed on the spot, about twenty were left. Their previous arrogance and dominance were gone, replaced with numbness, fear, and despair.

These Bloody Hand Group members did all sorts of evil, perhaps predicting a day like this might come. Some accepted their fate and weren’t afraid; others were visibly scared, constantly pleading for mercy.

Carson walked up to Samson Duncan, staring coldly at him: ”So... you said you know about the Harmony Spring. Were you lying to me?”

Samson, dripping with sweat, pleaded, ”Daoist Flores, I’m sorry, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have lied to you. Spare me; I can be at your disposal, become your loyal dog. Whoever you want me to bite, I will bite for you...”

Carson responded coldly, ready to strike, causing Samson’s pupils to contract suddenly, and he shouted urgently, ”Wait, there is someone who might know about the Harmony Spring...”

Carson’s eyes narrowed slightly: ”Who?”

Samson hurriedly responded, ”A prisoner we captured earlier, who also came for the Wanshen Conference, I overheard him mentioning the Harmony Spring in passing, maybe he knows something?”

”Prisoner?”

Carson scanned the camp: ”Where?”

Samson pointed to a nearby cave: ”All the prisoners are held in that cave, concealed by a Formation to prevent detection.”

Selah Ellison Venerable One inquired, ”If the robbery was successful, why still keep them...”

Samson replied, terrified, ”We have channels to sell cultivators as slaves. If they are attractive female cultivators, many aristocrats will buy them for high prices.”

Carson coldly retorted, ”No wonder you cared so much about why my wife wasn’t with me; you had eyes on more than just our wealth, but on us as well. You really leave nothing untouched.”

Samson was overwhelmed with fear, unable to argue.

Being a robber involves arrogance in success, seeing victims as sheep to be bullied, but in failure, they’re like sheep themselves, prey to the strong.

”Lead the way!”

Samson, trembling, led Carson and the others to the cave, dismantled the Formation, revealing its interior.

Inside the cave, iron-barred cells held the robbery victims, both male and female, with a fetid stench filling the air.

In one of the cages were several young female cultivators, barely clothed, bruised and battered, huddled in the corners with frightened eyes. Carson didn’t need to think hard to guess what they had endured.

In his heart, Carson had already sentenced this group to death.

Carson had been a robber too, but he never stooped to such inhumanity.

Samson pointed to a young man in his twenties inside a cage, flattering, ”It’s him. He mentioned the Harmony Spring; maybe he knows where it is...”
