The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

The battle finally ended.

Many magic spiders were killed or wounded, and the remaining ones fled northward. Avidan Hartman led his people in pursuit for a long distance.

These magic spiders truly had formidable combat power. Even after being defeated and pursued by so many strong warriors, they managed to break through the siege and disappear underground without a trace.

Avidan Hartman returned, looking at the Immortal Gathering Island station turned into ruins, his face solemn.

”Count the dead and injured!”

Soon, the tally results came out. Looking at the statistics in the report, Avidan Hartman’s eyes were filled with obvious heartache.

What a significant loss!

Although many were not disciples of Immortal Gathering Island but adventurers stationed here under contract, as long as they stayed here, what difference did it make with the disciples of Immortal Gathering Island?

The Gathering Immortals Assembly that happens once every five hundred years was in vain!

Avidan Hartman suppressed his sorrow, arranging for physicians to treat all the wounded while cleaning up the many ruined halls and towers, and building a new station.

The new station was quickly completed, and everyone moved into the new premises.

Zorvyn Harrison stopped behind the crowd: ”Kaelen Flores, thank you for saving me, but I cannot stay here. I have to go back!”

Carson Flores turned back with a smile: ”Alright, you go back first. Next time you encounter such things, don’t be silly.”

Zorvyn Harrison pursed her lips: ”Okay!”

Zorvyn Harrison turned and walked a few steps but stopped again, turning back: ”My lord...”

Carson Flores turned around, looking at Zorvyn Harrison’s face, which seemed to want to say more. He asked gently: ”Is there anything else?”

Zorvyn Harrison twisted her fingers together, seemingly gathering courage, speaking softly: ”If you someday decide to leave here, could you let me know?”

Carson Flores chuckled: ”Sure! I won’t sneak away and will definitely inform you!”

Zorvyn Harrison nodded, slightly awkward under the surrounding eyes, not daring to say more, glanced at Carson Flores, then quickly left.

Nerisse Blaine whispered: ”She has feelings for you.”

Carson Flores laughed: ”Falling so easily for someone? How long have I known her?”

Nerisse Blaine shook her head: ”I’m a woman, I understand women’s emotions better. Besides, when a man falls for a woman or a woman for a man, it’s often not nurtured by long-term companionship but ignited at the first sight, upon seeing the other’s face and looking into each other’s eyes, joy and affection arise.”

”Weren’t you just good to her before, and besides, you just saved her life. It’s only natural for gratitude to turn into affection, isn’t it?”

Carson Flores smiled and said: ”I saved you too, have you fallen for me?”

Carson Flores’s directness made Nerisse Blaine slightly stunned, then she candidly replied: ”At that very moment when you shielded me behind you, I was indeed moved. Despite the danger, you rushed out to stand in front of me, something not everyone would do.”

Nerisse Blaine paused, gazing brightly at Carson Flores: ”Because of my looks and status, many people like me, but at such life-and-death moments, not many would stand in front of me just because they like me, using their life to protect mine.”

Carson Flores was surprised that Nerisse Blaine spoke so candidly, not avoiding even Raelith Rhodes and others nearby.

Wasn’t Nerisse Blaine referring to him?

Liking Nerisse Blaine but not daring to risk his life for her!

Raelith suddenly resented Carson Flores; if everyone had been busy saving their own lives, then it would have been fair. But while I was fleeing, you saved Nerisse Blaine!

Nerisse Blaine herself said she was deeply moved at the time, extremely grateful.

I seem to have become a mere supporting role, embarrassing and face-losing.

What level of strength does this kid have again?

A loose cultivator, no matter how powerful, how strong could he be?

If he dies, be it the rescue or the favor, all would turn into mere illusions, and Nerisse Blaine might soon forget him.

In that flash of a moment, Raelith decided to kill Carson Flores, and made a firm decision.

Find a chance to kill Carson Flores!

As everyone was about to enter the house, a man came out and politely said: ”Fairy Blaine, the Island Master requests your presence!”

Nerisse Blaine followed the man to the front of a hall, one corner of which had collapsed. Island Master Avidan Hartman was waiting for her.

”Fairy Blaine, if not for your prior warning this time, allowing us time to prepare, we might have suffered far greater casualties, and more people would have died...”

Avidan Hartman’s eyes were sincere: ”The rules of Immortal Gathering Island dictate punishment for mistakes and rewards for achievements. Fairy Blaine, if there is anything you want, or anything you wish to accomplish, tell me, and I will do my utmost to fulfill it.”

Nerisse Blaine eyed Avidan Hartman, confirming: ”Island Master Hartman, will there truly be a reward, and is it a great merit?”

Avidan Hartman affirmed: ”Yes, it’s a great achievement and must be rewarded!”

Nerisse Blaine pondered for a few seconds and then spoke: ”If you must reward me, Island Master, perhaps you could give me some points...”
