The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Carson Flores took a sip of wine, the corners of his mouth curling slightly.

As expected, in this world, it’s not about how well you can fight, but about influence and background!

Nerisse Blaine, as the Saintess of the Separation Sea Sect, undoubtedly possesses great power, but certainly not at the Peak Great Land True Immortal level. She surely knows that her beauty could cause trouble, yet she dares to walk so openly, showing confidence in both her strength and her Sect.

In the North Sea, who would dare to touch Nerisse Blaine? Isn’t that a death wish, inviting the destruction of their entire clan?

Nerisse Blaine’s expression was calm, her attitude towards everyone not exactly cold, but certainly not warm either.

Not far behind Carson Flores, a handsome man appearing around thirty-five or thirty-six smiled and cupped his hands towards Nerisse Blaine: ”Fairy Blaine, long time no see!”

Everyone’s eyes simultaneously fell on the man; from his tone, did he know Nerisse Blaine?

Nerisse Blaine stared at the man, her brows furrowed, seemingly deep in thought, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

A trace of discomfort appeared on the man’s face, feeling a bit embarrassed under everyone’s gaze as he greeted someone with no response.

Just as the man was about to introduce himself, Nerisse Blaine’s brows unknotted, and she calmly replied: ”Raelith Rhodes, the Saint Heir from the Abyssal Sect, right?”

Raelith Rhodes’ eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his face: ”Yes, Fairy Blaine, your memory is impressive!”

Clearly, Nerisse Blaine and Raelith Rhodes did not share a deep friendship; otherwise, she wouldn’t need time to recall his identity and name. She smiled gently: ”Indeed, it has been a long time... has Fairy Sinclair arrived?”

Everyone brightened up, eavesdropping eagerly.

Oh right, doesn’t the Abyssal Sect also have Niall Sinclair?

Could it be that the Three Great Goddesses are going to gather together here?

Raelith Rhodes’ expression stiffened, hesitating for two seconds before speaking: ”Niall Sinclair defected from the Abyssal Sect and has been on the run without a trace; our Sect is doing everything possible to track her down...”

He paused for a moment, cupping his hands to the crowd: ”If anyone among you knows of Niall Sinclair’s whereabouts, please inform me. Our Abyssal Sect will offer a substantial reward and won’t disappoint our Fellow Daoists!”

After Raelith Rhodes said this, the entire hall instantly erupted into a commotion.

”Niall Sinclair defected from the Sect?”

”Why did she defect from the Abyssal Sect? I heard she practiced the Primordial Profound Water Technique; isn’t she supposed to be a key talent nurtured by the Sect?”

”Could it be that she was noticed by an influential figure in the Abyssal Sect, and unwilling to submit, she decided to flee?”

”I thought she would be here, to see the Three Great Goddesses together, what a pity!”

The Abyssal Sect’s reputation in the North Sea is quite significant, not as renowned as the Separation Sea Sect of the Twelve Immortal Gates, but it counts as a prominent force. Many recognize Raelith Rhodes as the Saint Heir.

”Fellow Rhodes, Fairy Sinclair should have been a prodigious talent of your Abyssal Sect, a focus of nurturing. How did it come to this?”

”Yes, do tell.”

After all, it concerns one of the Three Great Goddesses, and everyone, having some leisure time, naturally takes an interest.

Raelith Rhodes replied solemnly: ”She was seduced by Carson Flores, the direct disciple of Floating Cloud, the top expert of Dragon Mountain Sect. Taking the chance while on an errand, she eloped with Carson Flores. I believe she should be with him now; if anyone knows Carson Flores’ whereabouts, do inform us.”

”Oh, by the way, Carson Flores conspired with Snow Zane, a Quasi-Saint, to assassinate the Hall Master, committing heinous acts, and has long defected from Dragon Mountain Sect. He is now wanted by the Myriad Immortals Palace under the Order of Ten Thousand Immortals, so there’s no need to worry about the Dragon Mountain Sect speaking up for him.”

Carson Flores, holding his wine cup, suddenly widened his eyes, almost choking on his drink, then quickly grabbed his chopsticks, took a few bites of food to suppress the urge to cough.

Sitting across from Carson Flores, Zorvyn Harrison’s gaze became subtly intriguing. Why was Carson so reactive to Raelith Rhodes’ words?

Carson truly didn’t expect to encounter members of the Abyssal Sect here, nor did he anticipate the Abyssal Sect blaming him for Niall Sinclair leaving the Sect.

Seducing Niall Sinclair?

You folks really dare to talk.

It’s like they think I’m already a wanted man by the Myriad Immortals Palace, and Dragon Mountain Sect wouldn’t dare defend me, so they can shamelessly pin the blame on me?

Carson noticed Zorvyn’s subtle gaze and explained: ”I didn’t expect one of the Three Great Goddesses, Niall Sinclair, to be seduced by a man and defect from her Sect. If someone could make her do that, he must have considerable charm.”

Well, complimenting myself!

Why does this feel kind of odd!

Zorvyn handed over a handkerchief and gently said: ”This is just one side of the story; it might not be the truth.”

Carson looked at Zorvyn in surprise: ”Do you think it’s false?”

Zorvyn lowered his gaze, avoiding eye contact with Carson: ”I’ve heard that Fairy Sinclair practices the Ancient Profound Water Technique, a Top Tier Heart Method. She’s the only one in her entire Sect to comprehend it, surely promising a great future. To defect for a man seems quite unlikely.”

”Moreover, Carson Flores, as the direct disciple of Floating Cloud, the celebrated fighter of Dragon Mountain Sect, holds a high status, perfectly compatible with her. In such a scenario, even a normal romantic relationship would be plausible; why would she need to defect from her Sect?”
