The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2426

The woman’s laughter was light and crisp, with a peculiar magic power that made men’s hearts itch.

Upon closer feeling, the sound wasn’t entering through the ears, but directly resonating within Carson Flores’s mind.

Carson glanced around, noticing there were adventurers not far away, all looking at Zauren and discussing quietly, seemingly unaware of the laughter.

Could it be that only he could hear this laughter?

A chill ran down Carson’s spine. In such a tense and perilous situation, for this woman to laugh so lightly and casually, there could only be one reason.

This woman must be the master of the Roulette Secret Realm!

She was secretly watching everyone!

Realizing this, Carson’s mood instantly became extremely tense.

With so many people present, his incarnation wasn’t strong and could be considered inconspicuous. Why had she set her sights on him?

Carson’s mind raced, quickly coming up with two possible reasons.

First, others were their true selves while he was an incarnation, and someone had seen through him. After all, the master of the Roulette Secret Realm was most likely a Quasi-Saint.

Ordinary immortals couldn’t see through his incarnation, but it would be natural for a Quasi-Saint to notice.

Second, with Floating Cloud and Ghost True Sage battling ferociously, causing the world to almost collapse, the master of the Roulette Secret Realm would likely feel such a disturbance and pay attention to everyone, thereby noticing him as well.

If it was the first possibility, that’d be fine. But if it was the second, then it would be terrifying.

If the master of the Secret Realm had focused on him from the start, wouldn’t she have witnessed them being absorbed into the Ethereal Pagoda?

Had she been watching him all along?

Carson felt cold sweat running down his back.

Such a simple laugh, yet it was utterly terrifying.

Carson pondered that if he was indeed being watched, then perhaps it was better to be bold and converse directly with the other party, which might provide a chance for negotiation.

If she had any plans, once initiated, not even someone like Zauren could stop her, let alone him.

Carson quietly retreated into the darkness behind him.

Although some noticed Carson leaving, no one paid attention. After all, in a situation where life and death couldn’t be controlled, who would care about others?

Who doesn’t have their own little concerns?

Staying together had its advantages but also risks.

Carson wasn’t the only one sneaking away alone. With many people, one easily became a target; hiding alone might mean not being noticed and avoiding danger.

After leaving several hundred miles behind, Carson stopped, looked around, and bowed slightly: "Senior, if you are the master of this Secret Realm, please reveal yourself."

Carson looked around but received no response.

Frowning, Carson raised his voice and repeated his words.

A breeze suddenly started, carrying a light fragrance that lingered, making one want to inhale more.

Carson abruptly turned his head and saw a graceful silhouette standing silently before him, as quiet as a phantom.

She really appeared!

Even with Carson’s strong composure, he couldn’t help but shudder, truly startled.

Carson casually pointed, and a fireball rose, illuminating the surroundings, revealing the graceful red-dressed woman.

The woman in red looked quite young, around twenty-six or twenty-seven, at the peak of her beauty and allure. She stood quietly watching Carson, exuding no frightening aura, yet Carson felt an overwhelming pressure covering him.

Is a top-tier figure really this approachable?

He merely called out, and she indeed appeared?

Carson felt puzzled but dared not show it, bowing and saying, "Junior Carson Flores, greets the senior!"

The woman in red observed Carson briefly and chuckled, "An incarnation? Haha, is your true self inside the tower?"

Carson’s heart contracted sharply, just about to answer, when the woman in red raised her arm, aiming at him from afar.

Carson’s body instantly lost control, and the Ethereal Pagoda, which had been quietly lying in his pocket, floated gently out.

The Ethereal Pagoda emitted golden light but couldn’t resist the invisible great power, slowly drifting toward the red-dressed woman.

Carson was filled with dread, increasingly certain of the woman’s Quasi-Saint status.

The woman in red focused on the Ethereal Pagoda, her eyes gradually revealing a smile.

"Heaven and Earth Mystical Yellow Linglong Tower, just as I thought, it’s really you!"

Carson was shocked. He had summoned the Ethereal Pagoda for only a short time, and other than absorbing people, it hadn’t shown any more mysteries, yet she recognized it.

Though Carson had used the Ethereal Pagoda many times, this red-dressed woman was the first to identify its origin and call its full name!

Quasi-Saint!

Delarosa once said her master had led her to battle a group of peerless strongmen, and eventually, her master sent her away, leaving no trace.

This woman is a Quasi-Saint, capable of instantly identifying the Ethereal Pagoda’s identity. Could she be one of those peerless strongmen who hunted Delarosa’s master?
