The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2523

"Who are you looking for?"

Carson Flores narrowed his eyes slightly: "You seem confident about finding the Saint Heir, so why can’t you find the person you’re looking for?"

The middle-aged man showed a bitter expression on his face: "The identity of the Saint Heir is special. As long as someone has seen him, there will inevitably be news. I have been here for many years, and because I’m searching for someone, I’ve met some people. I’m likely to find the Saint Heir."

"The person I’m looking for is just an ordinary person, possibly even dead, and cannot be compared to the Saint Heir."

Carson thought for a moment: "Help me find the Saint Heir, and I’ll persuade him to do his best to help you find your person, though the result cannot be guaranteed."

Carson was not Lorvian Randall; he couldn’t overstep his bounds and make decisions impulsively.

A strong light of hope flashed in the middle-aged man’s eyes as he cupped his hands: "Thank you, this is enough for me. If I find her, it’s my luck; if not, it’s my fate!"

Initially, Carson was not interested in who the middle-aged man was searching for, but seeing his expression and hearing his tone, he couldn’t help but curiously ask: "Who are you looking for?"

The middle-aged man remained silent, his fingers lightly clenched.

Just as Carson thought the middle-aged man wouldn’t answer, his deep voice drifted into Carson’s ears.

"My daughter."

"She was harassed by a male disciple in the sect; she fought back and ended up killing him. The man’s family is powerful, and my daughter was sentenced to exile for five hundred years."

"My daughter isn’t very strong; how could she withstand five hundred years? They just felt that directly killing her wasn’t satisfactory enough, that she should suffer and then die."

"When it happened, I was assigned a task outside. By the time I returned, my daughter had already entered the Suffering Pray Sea. I immediately prepared and came here to find her, but it’s been years without any news..."

The middle-aged man’s tone grew increasingly low, clearly on the verge of losing hope after years of searching.

Carson thought for a moment: "Have you considered using rewards or similar methods to get more people to pay attention to your daughter?"

The middle-aged man shook his head: "I can only search secretly. If I look for her openly, even if I find her, I won’t be able to protect her and might even harm her..."

After a pause, the middle-aged man covered his face with his hand, his voice tinged with the sound of crying: "Outside, I couldn’t protect her, and even here, I’m still unable to protect her..."

Perhaps this had been a long-buried matter in his heart, and now, being able to search for his daughter with the identity of the Saint Heir, he couldn’t help but collapse, revealing his true emotions.

Seeing the man struggling to hide his sobs, Carson remembered the heavy fatigue and weariness on his face when they first met, and his heart was moved with compassion, silently making a decision.

As long as his daughter was alive, he would do his best to find her and lead them both out of here.

After all, they were just insignificant figures, and if they disappeared, others would most likely think they had died.

Though Carson made up his mind, he didn’t utter a word.

Some things are simply meant to be done.

"Where should I establish myself now?"

The middle-aged man answered: "If you have the ability, you can go to the territories of major forces to find a job. They need many people to maintain control and operate various locations here."

"If they choose you, it means you have a stable place to stay, living in their buildings without enduring the hardship of tides day and night."

"If you’re not skilled, then endure it. You can join small groups and support each other with Spiritual Power to resist the tides, then buy a Sea Perception Pearl to search for Clam Pearls at the sea bottom. I know some areas where the water is shallow, making it less difficult to dive to the sea floor, and I can tell you, but most of these areas have already been searched, so finding Clam Pearls is unlikely."

Carson inquired: "What is a Sea Perception Pearl?"

"It’s a detection-type magical treasure!"

The middle-aged man explained: "The ability of Spiritual Energy tides greatly reduces the effect of Divine Sense at the sea bottom. The Sea Perception Pearl can sense the life aura at the bottom of the sea. If you approach marine life, the Sea Perception Pearl will react, compensating for insufficient perception."

"The downside of the Sea Perception Pearl is that while it can detect marine life, it can’t distinguish what species it is, nor can it tell whether there’s a danger, so when it lights up, you could sense a clam or some other marine creature, or even a dangerous Sea Demon."

Carson frowned: "Are the Sea Demons in the Suffering Pray Sea formidable?"

The middle-aged man sighed: "The number of Sea Demons in the Suffering Pray Sea is very small, so the chance of encountering one is slim, but when it happens, you’re probably just out of luck, especially with the legendary Giant Tortoise dwelling in the depths here. Meeting it is almost certain death, with no chance of escape."

Giant Tortoise?

Curious, Carson asked: "Even the Supreme Immortals and Prime Immortals can’t handle it?"
