The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

The banquet was grand, and Carson Flores remained silent.

The people at the table were chatting enthusiastically, with the focal point naturally being Nerisse Blaine. After all, her beauty and status were extraordinary, destined to attract admiration.

Carson focused on eating and drinking, his demeanor casual.

Lord Avidan Hartman made his way from table to table, toasting everyone. At each table, he lingered for a moment, exchanged a few words with everyone, and took a drink.

An hour later, Avidan Hartman arrived at Carson’s table. His gaze swept around and landed on Nerisse Blaine’s face. With a smile, he said, ”Fairy Blaine’s presence at Immortal Gathering Island truly brings glory to it.”

Nerisse Blaine clasped her hands in greeting, ”I’ve met Sect Leader Hartman!”

Avidan Hartman laughed, ”I’ve met Sect Leader James a few times, and we always have pleasant conversations. How is he?”

Nerisse Blaine smiled, ”The Sect Master is well. He also sends his regards to you, sir!”

”Good, we’ll chat in detail later.”

Avidan Hartman scanned the others, smiling, ”Could you introduce these outstanding individuals to me?”

The maid standing behind the crowd introduced the names and backgrounds of those she served. Avidan Hartman nodded with a smile, sometimes making a few remarks in a relaxed manner, fully displaying his hospitality.

”Kaelen Flores, loose cultivator.”

Avidan Hartman nodded at Carson but did not speak, clearly not finding a loose cultivator worth special mention.

”Come, let’s toast to everyone!”

After a toast, Avidan Hartman moved to the next table. The whole process was courteous, without any waves.

Carson quietly breathed a sigh of relief. As the Island Master of Immortal Gathering Island, Avidan Hartman’s strength was undoubtedly formidable. Carson was worried he might see through his secrets. Fortunately, using Divine Sense to probe a cultivator is considered provocatively rude, and Avidan Hartman, as the host, would naturally refrain from checking all guests.

After the banquet ended, Carson and Zorvyn Harrison returned to their residence.

”Now that the banquet is over, and the host has arrived, is the Gathering Immortals Assembly close to ending?”

Zorvyn answered, ”If guests have no requests, then the assembly is almost over. However, those who came here surely have some needs or ideas. Sir, if you have any requests, you can tell me, and I will arrange a meeting for you.”

Carson nodded decisively, ”I would like a top tier Metal Attribute cultivation technique.”

Carson had previously inquired about techniques. Zorvyn was not surprised at all, only reminding him, ”There are definitely top tier Metal Attribute cultivation techniques available, but their value is incredibly high, and the cost is equally significant...”

Carson nodded, ”I am prepared for this.”

Zorvyn straightforwardly said, ”Okay, sir, I will arrange it for you right away!”

Zorvyn quickly sent a message, and soon after, a golden light flew in, hovering in front of her.

Zorvyn read the message and looked up, ”Later, the Sect Master will personally meet with you.”

Carson’s eyes widened in surprise, ”Aren’t there specialized negotiators? Why do I need to meet the Sect Master?”

Zorvyn replied, ”Since the top tier Metal Attribute cultivation technique you requested is extremely important to Immortal Gathering Island, only the Sect Master can make such decisions, so naturally, the Sect Master must meet with you personally.”

Carson touched his nose, his expression slightly hesitant, ”Meeting the Sect Master... I’m just a loose cultivator with no background. I’m feeling a bit uneasy.”

Zorvyn smiled, ”Don’t worry, sir. You are a guest. The island treats all guests equally. If an agreement is reached, a contract is signed; if not, there is no obligation. No force will be exerted.”

”Alright!”

After waiting for a short while, Carson was still reading in his room when there was a knock at the door.

”Sir, the Sect Master has arrived.”

Carson felt a slight tension, put down his book, and stepped out of his room.

Originally, he thought he would be taken somewhere to meet Avidan Hartman, but did not expect Avidan to come to him personally.

In the living room, Avidan Hartman sat gracefully on a chair, accompanied by two people, his expression calm.

Carson entered the living room, clasping his hands in respect, ”Junior Kaelen Flores greets Sect Leader Hartman!”

Avidan Hartman raised his gaze and smiled slightly, ”You want a top tier Metal Attribute cultivation technique?”

Avidan Hartman got straight to the point, and Carson also nodded directly, ”Yes, what cost must I bear?”

Avidan Hartman smiled, ”What is your realm?”

Carson replied, ”Carp Dragon Realm.”

About realms and cultivation, once a fight breaks out, it’s hard to hide from others. Moreover, hiding one’s strength could lead the other party to underestimate one’s value, possibly leaving no room for negotiation.

Zorvyn, standing by the door, brightened her eyes in apparent disbelief.

This loose cultivator, claiming to have obtained the Convoker Token by luck, actually possesses the strength of the Carp Dragon Realm?

Such a young age, reaching the Carp Dragon Realm, undeniably makes him a prodigy. Individuals like him are typically key figures in major sects’ young generations, much like Nerisse Blaine, Raelith Rhodes, Maedryn Cobb.

Being with him for so long, she hadn’t noticed he was so formidable?

Did Nerisse Blaine, who proactively offered him to join the Separation Sea Sect, see this?
