The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2538: This White Jade Statue Looks Familiar

Since identities have been revealed, there are no more secrets.

Hareth Briggs quietly listened to Carson Flores’s narration, then slowly nodded: "You two have a noble friendship... Will you help this time?"

Carson Flores smiled bitterly: "I’ve just advanced to the level of Great Land Immortal. With this little strength, anyone could easily crush me. This is not a level I can meddle in."

Hareth Briggs gave Carson Flores a deep, penetrating look but did not mention it further.

This person wouldn’t want me to ask my master and senior uncles to help them, would they?

Carson Flores murmured to himself and closed his mouth.

In such a major event, he dared not rashly agree. Even if Halvyr Briggs is the former Sect Hierarch, and even if Lorvian Randall is the Sea God Church Holy Son, as soon as they act against the current Sect Hierarch, their actions would be deemed rebellious by the hierarch.

If the Dragon Mountain Sect rashly intervened, it would be tantamount to full-scale war with the Sea God Sect. The Dragon Mountain Sect’s roots are in Eastern Radiance. Although they have established a branch in the North Sea now and many strong individuals have come to hold the fort, going against the entire Sea God Sect is clearly unwise.

"Prepare and then let’s leave."

Carson Flores hesitated and then said: "Can we stay a bit longer before leaving? I’d like to gather some clam pearls since it might not be convenient to come back after we leave this time."

Halvyr Briggs calmly said: "If we’re going to act, the sooner the better. Once someone’s made a move, how do we know they don’t have a backup plan?"

Carson Flores turned his head in surprise: "Made a move?"

Lorvian Randall nodded: "Someone secretly followed me and tried to attack. I escaped but got injured, and he pursued me relentlessly, so I fled to these deep seas. A giant tortoise appeared, scaring him away..."

Upon hearing this, Carson Flores hesitated no more: "If that’s the case, then let’s leave quickly to avoid complications."

Though clam pearls are precious, since someone’s already acted and they’ve seen Lorvian Randall with the giant tortoise, will it lead to some speculations?

The longer everyone delays here, the more likely something will go wrong.

Lorvian Randall felt an obligation towards Carson Flores, so he quickly stated: "When this is over, you can have as many clam pearls as you want, and I’ll give you some."

Carson Flores replied: "Simmons and Niall Sinclair are still on Market Island. We need to go back and pick them up... I have a magical treasure. If people hide inside, it can block any tracking methods. If you trust me, please hide inside, and I’ll take you all out of this place of exile."

Lorvian Randall stated firmly: "I trust you, naturally."

Carson Flores looked at Halvyr Briggs, who remained calm: "No problem for me."

Carson Flores took out the Seven Ingenious Hall Command, activated a spell, and a Light Gate immediately appeared before everyone.

"This is a palace left to me by a predecessor. Enter through the Light Gate, and you will enter it..."

Carson Flores didn’t use the Ethereal Pagoda; he was a bit guarded against Halvyr Briggs.

He had no choice, considering how powerful Halvyr Briggs is.

For such a strong person to enter the Ethereal Pagoda, if he harbored any ill intentions, even if Delarosa is the Artifact Spirit and he can control the Ethereal Pagoda, it might not be enough to deal with him.

The functions of the Palace of Seven Beauties are similar. Moreover, except for the isolation of breath, other methods are not much in the eyes of the Great Land Immortal, as the predecessor put it—a small toy he casually refined. Even if something does happen to it, breaking or losing it wouldn’t bother Carson Flores.

"In that case, let’s head out."

At Halvyr Briggs’s words the boat beneath everyone flew straight up, heading upwards rapidly, soon seeing the light above, and emerged from the mouth of the giant tortoise.

Carson Flores looked back to see a massive figure sinking into the ocean depths. Until the end, Carson Flores never saw the full appearance of the giant tortoise, not knowing its true size.

Halvyr Briggs gestured casually, and the boat quickly shrank, finally turning into a beam of black light, disappearing into his palm.

Carson Flores held the Seven Ingenious Hall Command and opened the Teleportation Gate.

Lorvian Randall, Halvyr Briggs, and Briony Simmons entered the Light Gate and then appeared inside the Seven Ingenious Hall, where they saw a huge White Jade Statue.

Halvyr Briggs frowned, examining the statue, his expression showed a hint of confusion.

Lorvian Randall glanced around and then fixed his eyes on the statue, pondering to himself that Carson Flores has quite a few good things.

"This White Jade Statue has an extraordinary presence, so it must be the predecessor who gifted Carson this hall?"

Halvyr Briggs nodded, suddenly saying: "It looks familiar. I think I’ve seen it before."

Lorvian Randall turned his head in surprise: "The senior knows them?"

Halvyr Briggs shook his head: "I don’t know. I can’t remember who it is right now, but I’m sure I’ve seen it."

Lorvian Randall blinked, with a subtle expression.

Anyone whom Halvyr Briggs remembers must not be an ordinary person, could this be another top-tier powerhouse?
