The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2281: Chapter 2281: Borrowed Authority, Who Dares Challenge Me?

Over ten powerful warriors had descended into the water. These individuals were top-tier warriors from the three Great Sects, all with power surpassing that of the Great Land Immortal, the strongest among them being a Peak Great Land Supreme Immortal. Their assembly was terrifying!

They had been here for quite some time. They learned from Orion Watson and the others about Carson Flores, knowing he was a servant to the True Sage Grand Void, waiting at the Harmony Spring.

The first time they entered the water, Orion Watson and his companions, intimidated by the number of magical beasts at the bottom, decided to retreat. However, Carson Flores, as if possessed, rushed downward.

Orion Watson and the others witnessed the ferocious demon beast horde frantically pursuing Carson Flores, thus they believed Carson was likely already dead. After all, in the water so laden with Demonic Qi, not just Carson, but even those at the level of Great Land Immortal would surely perish.

”Carson died of greed!”

That was the conclusion of their discussions. Half a year swiftly passed, and just as everyone was mostly forgetting about this matter, Carson Flores appeared alive right in front of them. How could this not be astonishing?

Just as everyone was preparing to stop Carson to question him, a figure as vast as a mountain appeared below him, exuding a terrifying aura that gave everyone chills, causing their expressions to change dramatically.

This must be that terrifying behemoth from the water’s depths!

It truly has emerged!

Everyone abandoned intercepting Carson and quickly turned around, flying upward at a speed much quicker than when they had descended before.

Bursting through the surface, they flew into the sky, loudly ordering.

”Evacuate this area!”

”The great beast has emerged, leave here!”

As everyone panicked and prepared to evacuate, Carson Flores surfaced from the water, appearing in their view.

Orion Watson and the others watched Carson, unharmed, with immense shock.

What’s going on?

Wasn’t that gigantic shadow just chasing Carson?

Having escaped the Demonic Qi laden depths, and suspended in mid-air, everyone felt much more at ease, especially with such strong warriors present, including a Peak Great Land Supreme Immortal.

Orion Watson asked, ”Fellow Flores, what was that magical beast following you?”

Carson straightforwardly replied, ”Crimson Mad, Starry Sky Magical Beast, all the magical beasts in this world stem from it.”

”Starry Sky Magical Beast!”

Everyone collectively gasped, their expressions full of shock.

They had naturally heard of the legend of the Starry Sky Magical Beasts, formidable creatures capable of traversing the cosmic void, powerful and mysterious. It was precisely due to their special abilities that the magical beast species came into existence.

Though such a multitude of magical beasts exist in this realm, the greatest probability lies with the Starry Sky Magical Beast. But what shocked everyone was that this Starry Sky Magical Beast was actually alive!

Virelia Jaramillo couldn’t help but ask, ”Carson, were you in the water the whole six months? Didn’t the Starry Sky Magical Beast attack you? We saw many underwater beasts chasing you back then...”

Carson explained, ”That sword was embedded in Crimson Mad, and Norric had drawn a Sword Talisman upon it. Whoever unlocks the Sword Talisman can release Crimson Mad. I’ve been trying to unlock the Sword Talisman underwater these past six months, and today I finally succeeded.”

Everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Norric!

Another super powerhouse spoken of only in legend!

This sword actually belongs to Norric!

The greedy thoughts harbored by everyone seemed to be doused with cold water, vanishing instantly.

Stealing Norric’s sword?

Is that not a death wish?

Wyrella Holt cautiously asked, seeing the shadow faintly appearing underwater, ”Fellow Flores, if Norric suppressed Crimson Mad here, would releasing him not offend Norric?”

A bright smile appeared on Carson’s face, ”No, Norric is quite familiar with my master. Besides, Norric had predicted today’s events long ago. After I unlocked the Sword Talisman, he even projected himself and chatted with me, teaching me the Way of the Sword Talisman. He mentioned I would meet him again in the future and taught me a few things in advance to prepare for it.”

Listening to Carson, everyone was enviously red-eyed.

Carson, merely a Heavenly Immortal, not only served by the side of the True Sage Grand Void but also gained the recognition of Norric, who personally taught him the Way of the Sword Talisman. It made others immensely envious!

Watching the jealous gazes surrounding him, Carson secretly laughed. He dared to ascend so boldly because he knew that no matter how envious they were, they wouldn’t dare lay hands on him.

A servant of the True Sage Grand Void, personally guided by Norric — who would dare provoke him?

If anything were to go wrong, somehow offending even either the True Sage Grand Void or Norric could spell the end for their entire Sect.

Virelia Jaramillo enviously remarked, ”Fellow Flores is indeed fortunate, to have such encounters. What are you planning to do, leaving the water with Crimson Mad?”

Carson had confessed the previous matters as it increased his security, but the subject of the Void Lotus Herb, he wouldn’t disclose truthfully.

Even with Crimson Mad accompanying him, causing less trouble was always beneficial.

When truly in distress, whether Crimson Mad would intervene to help was still a question.

”He has been suppressed down there for too long and wants to come out and wander around freely. I am merely accompanying him...”
