The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2242: Chapter 2242: So We’re Just Here as Cleanup Workers!

Orion Watson pressed forward all the way, pausing only occasionally for rest without making many stops.

It was clear that Orion Watson must have a specific destination or direction because the direction he moved in was almost a straight line.

For Carson Flores and others as Outer Sect Disciples, a figure like Orion Watson was as supreme as a Heavenly God, so awe-inspiring that they didn’t dare to even speak much, let alone ask any questions.

Although Icy Watson, as Orion Watson’s granddaughter, was supposed to be pampered according to conventional logic, Carson noticed along the journey that Orion’s attitude towards Icy was not exactly warm, and it seemed Icy was quite respectful and apprehensive toward Orion. Their relationship seemed less like that of a grandfather and granddaughter.

During a rest, Carson transmitted a message to Icy Watson: ”Junior Sister, is your relationship with your grandfather not good? It looks a bit cold.”

Icy Watson showed a slightly helpless bitter smile: ”An Immortal goes through several crucial stages and becomes increasingly indifferent toward many worldly things. Moreover, their years are long, and they’ve experienced too much, so it’s nearly impossible for them to express emotions as intensely as ordinary people.”

”Let’s not talk about me; even my father has to be cautious before my grandfather. There’s nothing like the harmonious and joyful father-son affection you imagine; Immortal Cultivation is originally an anti-desire path...”

Icy Watson’s explanation made Carson understand, for he had seen too many examples along his way of those oblivious to everything, engrossed in Immortal Cultivation. For them, stronger power and longer life were their only pursuits; nothing else mattered.

Emotional ties can vanish over unfeeling and prolonged time.

”Grandfather needs some people to assist him, so I volunteered, then invited many Outer Sect Disciples. On one hand, following my grandfather is safe and secure, and on the other hand, I can please my grandfather.”

Carson nodded: ”Are we moving towards the Harmony Spring?”

”It seems so.”

Upon receiving the response, Carson remained silent, simply following along, knowing that with a Supreme Immortal leading the way, the harvest was one thing, but safety was almost guaranteed.

Along the way, three more Outer Sect Disciples joined using sensing talismans, but there was still no sign of Lucas White.

Carson wasn’t worried. Firstly, Lucas White’s ability and realm were not low, and secondly, if he were to flee, even the Supreme Immortal might not catch up. The magical beasts here, although fierce, might not be much of a threat to him.

His absence so far might be due to distance or his own solo exploration.

Following Orion Watson all the way, they flew for four days before Orion finally stopped.

”The Harmony Spring should be located in this area, but the specific position is unknown. We’ll slowly search through, and I will deal with any powerful magical beasts. You all stick close to the ground and search carefully for me. Whoever finds the Harmony Spring will be heavily rewarded!”

”Besides the Harmony Spring, don’t overlook any other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Apart from the most important parts, the rest will belong to you to divide amongst yourselves.”

Carson’s spirits lifted — had they reached the place?

From the sound of it, Orion Watson gathered people to help search the ground, looking for the Harmony Spring and potentially other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures?

Others were also visibly excited — Orion Watson would deal with magical beasts while they concentrated on ground searching and acquiring most of the spoils?

That seemed so fortunate!

Without the threat of magical beasts, securing huge benefits was just about searching safely!

They felt lucky to follow Orion Watson.

At that moment, many felt full of gratitude towards Icy Watson — without her, how could they have such a safe and profitable chance for Cultivation Resources?

If they performed well, Orion Watson might even admit them into the Inner Sect!

Orion Watson hovered mid-air, casually pointed and exploded the head of a magical beast emerging from a dark cave, as easily as crushing an ant crawling on the ground.

”Search!”

Including Icy Watson, all seven of them flew down, each keeping a certain distance apart, and searched along the mountain peaks, forests, and rivers.

This Secret Realm was without the Human Race, purely Barbaric Wastelands, but the Spiritual Energy was exceedingly abundant, consequently filled with valuable herbs, including high-grade Immortal Elixirs suitable for even Immortals above, and the Great Land.

Carson honestly flew close to the ground, carefully searching. Upon completing the search of an area, he handed over the Space Ring originally belonging to Kyson Howell to Orion Watson for inspection.

Orion Watson swept it with Divine Sense, selecting the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures he needed. However, with his high Realm, he considered most things too insignificant, so despite inspecting, he collected almost nothing, leaving those items to Carson and others.

The items were indeed substantial; yet, for Carson, they weren’t exactly formidable, but for the others, they were a delightful surprise.

What was the difference between this and picking up freebies?

This trip surely turned out to be profitable!
