The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2428

"Senior, you mean you use space divine power to discover new worlds, and then have these people as your subordinates to explore the new worlds and gather various treasures for you?"

The woman in red chuckled softly, "That’s basically what it means. This Roulette Secret Realm is the tool I use to attract manpower. Whenever I’m short of people, I come to catch a batch, then switch to another world and continue attracting the next batch of people."

Carson Flores widened his eyes; he finally completely understood.

Why does the refresh time of the Roulette Secret Realm range from a few decades to over a hundred years?

It turns out the refresh time doesn’t depend on any set design of the secret realm, but rather on when the secret realm’s master needs more people!

She sets up a bamboo cage, scatters grains, allowing the birds to come and eat them. They come and go, but when she gets hungry, she pulls the string, the bamboo cage drops down, catching a batch of unlucky birds.

After "consuming" this batch of unfortunate birds, she sets up the bamboo cage again, scatters more grains, and waits for the next batch of birds to arrive, waiting for the next time she gets hungry.

The grains are endless, so there will always be birds!

Each time the secret realm refreshes, she can harvest thousands of cultivators; and if she’s lucky, some powerful Great Land Prime Immortals. Like this time, at least from what Carson knows, there are four Superior Grade Great Land Prime Immortals, and who knows how many Great Land Immortals.

In just a few decades, she can gather such a large group of cultivators to work for her as free labor—how wonderful?

She just needs to offer a world she found as bait to continuously harvest labor.

This business is too profitable!

Delarosa asked in a deep voice, "Can’t you just let us go together? We would repay this favor in the future."

The woman in red smiled, "I didn’t choose to forcibly subdue you. Firstly, I have some connections with your master, and secondly, I know your character—better to shatter jade than to keep it whole. If I force it, I’ll gain nothing."

"Knowing it’s destined to yield no result, I can give up subduing you, but you can’t stop me from capturing labor. Recently, I discovered a world with something special that’s quite effective for cultivation, though it involves some wasted people."

"The last batch of labor I’ve thrown into this place has almost died out. I’m considering whether to capture another batch, and you guys started fighting, almost collapsing my secret realm, so I’ll just take advantage and harvest a batch."

"This batch of labor is quite strong; with them, surely they can help me gather more treasures. Why would I let them go?"

Carson Flores asked, "Are all those you’ve captured ultimately destined to die?"

The woman in red chuckled softly, "Though I capture them and make them work for me, even a watchdog deserves a bone, right? Besides, not everything catches my fancy. Aside from what I want, whatever they get is naturally theirs."

"True enough, they do experience many dangers following me, especially in some dangerous minor worlds, where the mortality rate is quite high. But high risk comes with high reward—many of their powers have skyrocketed."

"Delarosa, there’s no need to plead on his behalf. Since you chose him, I also want to see if he’s worthy of your trust. If he’s not, it’s okay; I’ll destroy him for you. If he is indeed worthy, then in the end, I’ll give you face and let him go, and even release the others if things are done well."

The woman in red’s gaze fell on Carson Flores, as she chuckled softly, "Since you know the story of Delarosa and her master, you should know that not everyone is qualified to be Delarosa’s master. Hmm, the same goes for being a friend."

Carson nodded calmly, "I can give it a try."

The woman in red smiled, "Really want to try? You might die, and since I said it’s a test for you, Delarosa can’t follow to protect you; you’ll have to prove yourself with your own abilities..."

Carson responded decisively, "Sure!"

The woman in red seemed satisfied with Carson’s reaction, "Indeed, you have some responsibility. Delarosa, do you have any objections?"

Delarosa said coldly, "Do my objections even matter?"

The woman in red laughed heartily, "No, I’m just being polite."

Delarosa said nothing more.

Not even knowing the true identity of this woman in red, was there anything left worth saying?

The woman in red pointed at the Ethereal Pagoda, "Alright, I’ve made a promise, release those few people."

Delarosa was silent for a few seconds, then golden light flashed on the Ethereal Pagoda, and Floating Cloud, Flowing Cloud, and Profound River appeared in midair, along with Carson.

The woman in red pursed her lips and smiled, "And two more; they have all been to the Holy Spring Hall. You can’t hide it from me."

The golden light flashed again, and Ghost True Sage and Draelor Loxley appeared in midair. Delarosa said calmly, "He’s about to die."

The woman in red snorted coldly, "At least he’s a Superior Grade Great Land Prime Immortal. He should die with some value; dying just like that would be a waste?"
