The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2287: Chapter 2287: Let’s Go Split the Loot!

The collapse of the Formation affected not only the broken Ethereal Pagoda. The surging energy violently swept across, engulfing Orion Watson and others, plunging the scene into chaos.

By the time Orion Watson and others cleared away the violent energy in front of them, the Ethereal Pagoda had already soared into the sky, transformed into a point of light, and disappeared above the Heavenly Dome.

Orion Watson, with a grim expression, transformed into a long rainbow, chasing towards the sky.

The rest, unwilling to be left behind, also stepped into the air, pursuing the Ethereal Pagoda.

On a distant mountaintop, stood numerous cultivators from the three Great Sects, watching this astonishing scene, exclaiming in surprise continuously.

In the crowd, a disciple watched the disappearing Ethereal Pagoda with a look of astonishment on his face. Taking advantage of everyone’s attention being focused on the battlefield ahead, he quietly backed away, retreating a certain distance, hiding in an unnoticed corner, and in a flash, he had completely disappeared into the distance.

When the man reappeared, he was already a hundred miles away. He didn’t stop, moving swiftly into the distance, and soon, he was a thousand miles away.

He stopped, gazing into the sky, his eyes puzzled.

”Carson Flores should be in that tower, right? To actually sever the previous imprint in one strike and break the Absolute Void Formation, this tower has some history, indeed.”

The man smiled slightly: ”Because my identity was exposed, I dragged you into this. Originally, I planned to rescue you, but it turned out I didn’t need to. In this case, let’s meet at our agreed place!”

The man’s figure instantly vanished, as if he had never appeared.

...

The Ethereal Pagoda descended from above the Heavenly Dome, and the figure of Carson Flores appeared on a mountain peak.

He discerned the direction and then headed east.

He and Lucas White had a prior arrangement; if they got separated, they would meet at the agreed location.

Lucas White’s theft of the three sects’ gains ultimately led to the exposure of his identity, plunging Carson Flores into a dilemma, but Carson did not resent him for it.

The exposure was Lucas White’s, but also his own. Who told him to reveal himself at Mingxiang Valley using his real name?

The identity exposure had his own reasons, so he couldn’t blame Lucas White.

Instead, Lucas White’s ability to continuously switch identities and steal significant supplies undetected intrigued Carson Flores greatly.

After a day’s flight, Carson Flores arrived at Shanlan City, the place Lucas White had agreed upon.

As soon as Carson entered the city, he saw Lucas White standing on the road, smiling at him.

”I’ve been waiting for you for a while...”

Carson Flores smiled and said, ”As soon as I left the Secret Realm, I was surrounded by the Absolute Void Formation and almost got caught like a turtle in a jar.”

Lucas White nodded: ”I know, I saw it all.”

Carson Flores looked up in surprise: ”You were at the scene?”

Lucas White nodded: ”I saw you leaving with Crimson Mad, and with Grand Void and Norric Shepherd backing you up, I figured you wouldn’t be in much danger. So, instead of looking for you, I took the opportunity to attack them, directly stealing the Space Rings containing their exploration gains.”

”Even though I thought you would be all right, I still worried that I might implicate you by causing trouble, so I disguised myself and blended back into the crowd. When I saw them setting up a Formation outside the entrance, I knew they wanted to catch you.”

”Originally, I planned to attack the formation from outside when they took action against you, to create a chance to rescue you. But you were far more formidable than I expected, breaking out from the hands of so many Great Land Immortals...”

Carson Flores smiled, saying, ”They fought each other over my Ethereal Pagoda, which gave me a window to escape; otherwise, escaping would have been really tough.”

Lucas White clasped his hands in apology: ”Brother Flores, I’m sorry. You took me into the Secret Realm, and in the end, I ended up screwing you over...”

Carson Flores waved his hand: ”It’s a small matter, don’t worry about it. Actually, I was careless myself. I initially thought I was new here and that no one knew me, so I didn’t even use an alias. Who knew I’d be recognized?”

Lucas White laughed and said, ”Come on, let’s find a safe place to divide the spoils.”

Carson Flores was a bit surprised: ”Divide the spoils?”

Lucas White said straightforwardly, ”I stole the Space Rings from the three sects, which contain all the gains from their Secret Realm adventure. I scanned them with my Divine Sense earlier; there are quite a few good things in there. Let’s split them!”

Carson Flores uttered in surprise: ”These things were obtained through your efforts alone and have nothing to do with me. You should keep them yourself. Why share them with me?”

Lucas White explained: ”The information about the Secret Realm was revealed to me by you. Normally, in our line of work, that alone entitles you to at least twenty percent of the total gains. Moreover, because of my actions, you were put in danger, so technically, you and I shared a great risk. Therefore, we should split everything in there fifty-fifty.”

Carson Flores was quite surprised, not by the rules Lucas White mentioned, but by how proactively Lucas White adhered to them.

With Heavenly God Sect’s Divine Dragon nowhere to be found, he could have cleanly left after acquiring everything, and who could find him?

Wouldn’t all these things belong solely to him?
