The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2427

"Who are you?"

Inside the Ethereal Pagoda, Delarosa’s clear voice suddenly echoed, cold and puzzled: "I don’t know you."

The woman in red smiled charmingly: "Delarosa, is that you?"

Carson Flores was startled; she had called out Delarosa’s name, which meant she was definitely an old acquaintance.

An old acquaintance, but was she an enemy or a friend?

Delarosa’s voice became more serious: "You know me, are you with that group of people?"

The woman in red smiled: "Are you referring to the group that hunted your master back then?"

"Yes!"

The woman in red chuckled: "You fought with them back then, if I were one of them, you’d surely remember me."

Delarosa was silent for a few seconds, then said coldly: "You weren’t among them back then. Not everyone can call out my name. Who exactly are you, and what is your relationship with my master?"

The woman in red chuckled: "There is some relation, but even if I told you, you wouldn’t know. Why don’t we talk about you? You disappeared for so long, why have you suddenly reappeared?"

Delarosa coldly said: "If you don’t reveal your identity, don’t expect to find out anything from me."

The woman in red smiled: "I have no direct contact with you, but hmm, the relationship is somewhat unique. What I can tell you is, I might not be your master’s friend, but I’m definitely not an enemy either."

Delarosa was silent for a few seconds, then asked: "What do you want?"

The woman in red laughed: "I never thought I would meet you here. I’ve heard your master has died, and you’ve appeared again. Have you found a new master?"

Carson Flores suddenly felt at ease, regaining his freedom. Before he could speak, the red-clad woman’s gaze swept over him: "I saw you summon the Heaven and Earth Mystical Yellow Linglong Tower earlier; you wouldn’t be her new master, would you?"

Carson Flores’s heart calmed down, and his voice was steady: "I am not Delarosa’s master; we are friends."

"Friends?"

The woman in red lightly smiled and nodded: "Yes, indeed. Her former master was so exceptional, how could she bow to others? Back then, she feared not even death. If her master hadn’t sent her away, she would have fought until she shattered, body and soul both extinguished."

Carson Flores nodded calmly: "Since you know Delarosa’s name and are not an enemy, do you know about her master’s final situation?"

The woman in red’s expression showed slight surprise: "Her master isn’t dead?"

Carson Flores frowned. The woman’s expression didn’t seem fake, or perhaps she didn’t need to fake it. After all, at this moment, she was the one in control here, and not even Carson, Delarosa, Floating Cloud, and others combined could be her match.

Carson saw Delarosa remain silent and said: "Yes, that’s what everyone says, but no one can accurately describe the situation—for instance, how he died, whether his body still exists, and if it does, where is it?"

The woman in red pondered and nodded, her gaze returning to the Ethereal Pagoda: "It seems you are unwilling to believe your master is dead, think he is still alive, and want to find him again?"

Delarosa’s voice was cold: "Yes, if he truly is dead, I hope to find concrete evidence."

The woman in red didn’t show any mocking expression, instead, she agreed and nodded: "You should. He treated you like a daughter, your relationship was not just a typical master-servant one. I understand your desire to uncover the truth about his death."

Delarosa spoke up: "Since you say you are not my master’s enemy, then release us..."

The woman in red gently tapped her chin with her index finger, smiling: "He claims not to be your master, yet can summon and control the Ethereal Pagoda. A friendship pact between you?"

"Yes!"

Delarosa answered calmly, perhaps because it concerned Carson Flores, taking the rare initiative to speak: "His strength is not formidable. Whatever your intentions are, he is of no use to you."

The woman in red chuckled: "He is indeed not capable, but those individuals inside the tower are quite intriguing to me, their strength is quite impressive, and very useful to me..."

Delarosa coldly asked: "What exactly are you trying to achieve by setting up this Roulette Secret Realm?"

The woman in red smiled sweetly: "What else? Naturally, to capture labor!"

Capture labor?

Carson Flores widened his eyes in astonishment, asking instinctively: "Capture labor for what?"

The woman in red laughed: "Naturally to help me with tasks. What specific tasks depend on what I need people to do at the moment. I control the Space Divine Power, traversing countless worlds. I can’t possibly do everything by myself, can I?"

In Carson Flores’s mind, he recalled the previous search for the Harmony Spring in the Secret Realm. That realm was a world unto itself, yet devoid of inhabitants. True Sage Grand Void also traversed space, then scoured the entire world and found the Harmony Spring. After Green Bird City and other three sects discovered the secret realm, tens of thousands of disciples searched within for a year, uncovering countless treasures.

Being a Space Great Power, the woman in red naturally could traverse innumerable worlds. Might she be capturing these individuals to use them as subordinates to gather various treasures from this world?
