The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Lorvian Randall’s eyes were clear and resolute, meeting Carson Flores’ inquisitive gaze without any hesitation.

Carson Flores slowly broke into a bright smile: ”You’ve changed a lot since last time.”

Lorvian Randall calmly replied, ”Some things can only be understood and seen through illusions when you personally experience, understand, and discover them.”

Carson Flores straightforwardly said, ”Since you came here to search, you must have clues. Where is he?”

Lorvian Randall took out the map of the Suffering Pray Sea, pointing to a location due north on the map: ”Here.”

Carson Flores took a closer look and was taken aback. Isn’t this the terrifying deep-water area where Rethor Simmons mentioned the Giant Tortoise appears?

”The Giant Tortoise?”

Lorvian Randall was slightly surprised: ”You know about the Giant Tortoise?”

Carson Flores fixed his gaze on Lorvian Randall, speaking gravely: ”I’ve heard legends of the Giant Tortoise. Could the former sect leader be related to this Giant Tortoise?”

Lorvian Randall nodded: ”Yes, according to the documents I found, finding the Giant Tortoise will lead us to the former sect leader.”

Carson Flores smiled wryly: ”Since you’ve studied the documents and are aware of the legends here, you should know that anyone trying to hunt or encounter the Giant Tortoise faces certain death. Our abilities aren’t even stronger than those hunters...”

Lorvian Randall smiled: ”I’m naturally aware, but if the Giant Tortoise is indeed related to the former sect leader, encountering it won’t be my end.”

Carson Flores curiously asked, ”Why?”

Lorvian Randall replied, ”I have a token from the former sect leader. If the Giant Tortoise is truly connected to the former leader, with its intelligence, it surely wouldn’t harm me.”

”Even if it’s not related, I can always escape. I brought an escape treasure. Even if it possesses the strength of a Superior Grade Great Land Primordial Immortal, I stand a fair chance of escape.”

”Of course, saying there’s no risk would be a lie, but to achieve something, one must take some risks.”

So it turns out he was well-prepared, and Carson Flores breathed a sigh of relief, smiling: ”Did you prepare all this before coming here?”

Lorvian Randall smiled: ”What else do you think I’ve been doing since being thrown in here for all these years?”

Carson Flores rubbed his chin thoughtfully: ”After the sect war, you weren’t immediately punished. Is it possible your sect leader noticed what you did, threw you in here, and then appointed a new Saint Heir?”

Lorvian Randall’s smile vanished, his brow furrowed for a few seconds: ”I hadn’t thought of it like that until you mentioned it. I used to think it was the Aarav Family and the Valentine Family conspiring against me, especially since Crispin Valentine, the Vice Sect Hierarch, was responsible for the sect war. If someone has to take the blame, it would be me...”

”But with what you said, I’m not so sure now. The Aarav Family and the Valentine Family targeting me is inevitable. Whether the Sect Hierarch noticed my actions and let things slide, who knows.”

Lorvian Randall’s words halted momentarily, then he raised his head, his gaze once again firm: ”No matter the truth, since I’m here, I must uncover it.”

Carson Flores asked, ”Are you sure you want to find that Giant Tortoise?”

Lorvian Randall’s expression was resolute: ”I’m sure.”

Carson Flores smiled: ”Then I’ll go with you.”

Lorvian Randall asked skeptically: ”This matter doesn’t concern you. Even though I’m prepared, there’s still significant risk...”

”No big deal, we’ll just make a run for it!”

Carson Flores laughed: ”I’m not particularly strong, but I’m quick to flee. How could this not concern me? Our Three Sects of Eastern Radiance have just established themselves in the North Sea, facing resistance and caution from your side, struggling to expand. If you find the former sect leader and they battle it out, regardless of who wins, the Sea God Sect will surely descend into chaos. Then, with you preoccupied, the Three Sects will have room to grow, right?”

Lorvian Randall’s expression became intricate—this guy is helping just to find the former leader and cause disorder within the Sea God Sect?

Keep those thoughts to yourself, why say it out loud!

I’m still the Sea God Church Holy Son!

Carson Flores noticed Lorvian Randall’s expression and waved his hand with a smile: ”Didn’t you give me that Top Tier Martial Art? I’m just repaying the favor. Besides, you strike me as honest, and I don’t want you to perish quietly.”

”If you find the former sect leader and can defeat the current one, you’d be a hero. And since you’ve broken through the Carp Dragon Realm, reaching the Great Land Primordial Immortal is inevitable. Aren’t you on your way to becoming a true power-holder and the next sect leader? Then you’ll command respect in the North Sea, and I’m just investing early. Later, when I mix in the North Sea, you can look out for me.”

Lorvian Randall’s expression turned peculiar: ”Is it necessary? You have Floating Cloud watching over you, so are you really afraid of being bullied?”

Carson Flores chuckled: ”Who says you can have too many strong allies? The North Sea is indeed your Sea God Sect’s stronghold, even if, as you said, it’s like a rotting giant, but it’s still a giant. Furthermore, if we cut out the rot, it might become even stronger later. I’m just taking a short-term risk for long-term benefits.”

Lorvian Randall was amused by Carson Flores’ words: ”Stop your nonsense. You’re really going?”

Carson Flores nodded: ”Yes, it’s rare to find someone I like. I’m worried you’ll just silently vanish.”

Lorvian Randall felt a wave of emotion but retorted without mercy: ”I’m at least a Superior Grade Great Land Supreme Immortal, and yet you, a Profound Immortal, dare to speak so arrogantly?”
