The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Carson Flores’ Incarnation proceeded along the path, reaching the house without encountering any issues.

The small house was enveloped in a faint Barrier, but anyone could tell that the Barrier’s strength was not high.

It was more like a giant umbrella, shielding the house from wind and rain.

The Incarnation fearlessly walked over without hesitation, as if stepping into a giant soap bubble.

The Barrier still existed, but Carson Flores’ Incarnation was already inside.

Carson Flores’ Incarnation stood at the door and pushed it open.

”No reaction inside.”

At this point, Varric Combs no longer hesitated and stepped into the house.

Carson Flores hesitated for a moment, then followed.

He was also curious about what was inside the house. Since no traps or ambushes had been discovered up to this point, he guessed there might not be any.

Though the house appeared small from the outside, once the two entered, they found it to be vast and magnificent. Clearly, the building’s interior had a Space Formation, somewhat akin to the Palace of Seven Beauties.

Upon entering the door, they saw a spacious hall with a stage tens of meters high. On the stage sat a white-haired elder, cross-legged and motionless, with no sign of life.

Carson Flores and Varric Combs exchanged a glance, both seeing excitement in each other’s eyes.

Could this be the fallen Space System Quasi-Saint?

”Don’t rush, search first.”

”Alright!”

Both were composed, even as they saw the Space Ring on the elder’s hand, they restrained their excitement, preferring a thorough search to eliminate potential dangers.

They searched every corner of the house according to its layout, finding many valuable items like furniture and some ornaments and decorations.

If these items were sold in the market, they could be worth quite a few Spirit Stones. However, neither The Holy Thief Varric Combs nor Carson Flores were poor, so they didn’t find much value in these.

The two returned to the base of the stage, scrutinizing the man sitting on it.

”Whether there’s a gain depends on whether there are treasures in his Space Ring!”

Varric Combs was filled with anticipation, though they found nothing valuable elsewhere, didn’t cultivators often carry their belongings in Space Rings?

”Let me!”

Varric Combs stood his ground and made a grabbing motion in the air.

Carson Flores felt a flicker before his eyes, as if witnessing magic, and the elder’s Space Ring from the stage appeared in Varric Combs’ hand.

Carson Flores’ eyes shone, the skill felt like retrieving items from thin air!

Even though the elder on the stage should be dead and unperceptive, sitting motionless, how was the Space Ring taken so silently?

After marveling at Varric Combs’ terrifying technique, Carson Flores felt it was a bit abrupt.

Not even a greeting before acting?

Carson Flores made a hand salute toward the elder on the stage: ”Junior Carson Flores, pays respects to the senior. I apologize for visiting uninvited.”

Varric Combs chuckled and said, ”I’ve checked, they’ve been dead for who knows how long, no need for formalities.”

Carson Flores smiled: ”This senior is the host after all. It’s only polite to announce our presence, better to be courteous than not, even if they can’t hear, it makes us feel better, right?”

Varric Combs snorted, ”They were the ones who set up this Space Land of Chaotic Streams, trapped me for a full six thousand years, nearly dying in here. I’m already polite for not blasting them apart, taking a few items can be considered their compensation to me.”

As the Saint of Thieves, Varric Combs has always come and gone without a trace, extremely skilled in space escape techniques, yet he was trapped here for six thousand years, nearly permanently. How could he not be annoyed?

Carson Flores smiled faintly and said no more.

He held no grievances against the powerful being on the stage, having intruded upon their domain. Carson Flores felt that showing respect was appropriate etiquette after all. No harm in bowing to a senior expert, right?

Not a loss!

Varric Combs quickly removed the Prohibition on the Space Ring, swept it with his Divine Sense, and his eyes instantly sparkled.

”Seems like there are good things here!”

Varric Combs emptied the contents of the Space Ring, demonstrating that he wasn’t secretly keeping anything for himself.

No matter the split, at least Carson Flores can see and know what was gained, without quietly pocketing anything.

Carson Flores understood Varric Combs’ intention and watched generously.

Varric Combs picked up an item resembling a rubbing. After scanning it with his Divine Sense, his face showed happiness.

”Space Turbulence Technique!”

Varric Combs raised his head, looking excited: ”This is an extraordinary Divine Skill. Once mastered, it will significantly enhance power...”
