The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

At the agreed meeting place, Carson Flores immediately saw Ilvarion Arnold, looking around nervously.

”Ilvarion!”

Ilvarion Arnold turned around and, upon seeing Carson appear like a specter, broke into a delighted smile.

”Bro! You’re finally here, I’ve been waiting for you a long time! I thought you guys left me and went off on your own.”

Carson glanced around: ”By yourself?”

Ilvarion Arnold chuckled: ”Yeah.”

Carson asked curiously: ”Your mother is the City Lord, you’re going out on an adventure, and she didn’t send any guards with you? Isn’t she worried about you?”

Ilvarion Arnold’s face fell immediately: ”I snuck out.”

Carson couldn’t help but laugh: ”She won’t let you roam the world freely?”

”Exactly!”

Ilvarion Arnold sighed: ”I told her I wanted to go with you, and she said it’s too dangerous and wouldn’t let me go, keeping me locked up in the city. Luckily, I was prepared and used a formation to escape, otherwise, I’d be a bird in a cage by now.”

Carson laughed: ”Your mother is just looking out for you; following us is full of dangers!”

Ilvarion Arnold pouted: ”Being confined at home with nothing to do is so dull, it’s far more exciting to adventure with you all. Sadly, my skills are lacking, so I can’t even help you in fights and might end up being a burden if I’m not careful.”

Carson comforted: ”An Array Master’s role is just as important as a strong cultivator; it’s just that we travel a lot and don’t get to use formations as often.”

Ilvarion Arnold looked at Carson with bright eyes: ”Bro, I want to go to the Crimson Immortal Domain with you. It’s said that there are countless formations by the Eternal City Wall, and if I can join, I’ll definitely be useful!”

Carson was a bit surprised; this guy is thinking long-term.

”Do you know much about the Crimson Immortal Domain?”

Speaking of the Crimson Immortal Domain, Ilvarion Arnold’s eyes shone: ”Like you just said, the advantage of formations is that once set up, even a weak force can wield great power, but the downside is they’re not easily transportable. The stronger the formation, the more it requires, basically ruling out moving them.”

”Precisely because of this, formations are most used in the Immortal Realm in sects and battlefields. The Mountain Protection Array outside sects, various small formations inside, layer upon layer, and an abundance of defensive and offensive formations on battlefields with formidable power.”

”Didn’t that White Jade Star Lord mention the Demon Race is making a comeback and that the Immortals and Demons are about to clash again? The battlefields will definitely need a lot of Array Masters, so I want to go to the Crimson Immortal Domain to contribute my skills and make the most of my studies.”

Carson gave Ilvarion Arnold a thumbs up: ”You’ve got ambition!”

Ilvarion Arnold was slightly bashful: ”I just feel that I can only truly use my abilities by the Eternal City Wall, but I don’t dare to go alone. Bro, please don’t disdain me.”

Carson patted Ilvarion Arnold’s shoulder: ”Why would I disdain you? You’ve made your choice, so let’s go, and I’ll protect you along the way. Who knows, when we get to the Crimson Immortal Domain, you might thrive and end up protecting me instead.”

Ilvarion Arnold blushed: ”Bro, don’t tease me. You’re so outstanding; even Norric and the White Jade Star Lord look at you differently, how could I compare.”

”Don’t belittle yourself.”

Carson smiled and consoled him: ”Who knows, you might become a legend on the Eternal City Wall someday.”

Having reunited with Ilvarion Arnold, the three of them set off again, heading straight for the City of Netherfire.

In the City of Netherfire, Carson altered his appearance and entered the city alone.

As before, he queued up and waited for a long time before it was finally his turn.

Carson pretended it was his first visit, inquired a bit, and again received the price quote.

Carson took out two Snow Spirit Ice Crystals: ”I have two Snow Spirit Ice Crystals, which can offset ten billion Spirit Stones. May I ask when the City Lord will be available?”

The staff were shocked and quickly called over the steward.

The steward verified the Snow Spirit Ice Crystals and, after confirming they were genuine, smiled.

”Sir, I’ll queue your application for an appointment right now. Please hold on.”

The steward took Carson’s application form to the counter, completed the process swiftly, and looked up with a smile: ”Sir, your application has been successfully scheduled. Please come back in the afternoon three days from now.”

Carson asked: ”When I come next time, will the City Lord directly help me resolve the issue?”

The steward smiled: ”We charge fair prices and deliver services as promised; naturally, that will be the case.”

”Great, I’ll be back in three days!”

After Carson left, the steward’s smile vanished, and he immediately left the counter, heading straight into the inner room.

Inside the room sat a man, leaning back in a chair with his eyes closed, resting.

The steward bowed to the man: ”Sir, someone has applied to sever the bond of good and evil, the situation matches a previous record we have, but the person is different this time. He submitted two Snow Spirit Ice Crystals and I’ve scheduled him for an appointment three days from now.”

The man opened his eyes, excitement gleaming within: ”After waiting for him for so long, has he finally shown up?”
