The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 491: Chapter 491: If You Don’t Mention It, I Won’t Either_1

The swarm of ghost-faced bats bore down upon the green-clad man like a tidal wave, yet the man’s steps were light and easy, as if he didn’t even see the creatures coming at him from all directions.

As the ghost-faced bats rapidly closed in on the green-clad man, looking like they were about to pounce, each and every one suddenly let out shrieks of extreme terror, frantically turning away and fleeing outward at high speed!

While the ghost-faced bats outside were wildly pouring in, those inside were terrified and fleeing, even violently attacking those that obstructed their escape.

Gu Zongsheng witnessed a scene he would never forget in his lifetime.

The green-clad man walked down the long street with ease, as countless ghost-faced bats descended like a blanket. Yet the bats around the man fled in terror as if they had seen the most horrifying creature in the world, creating a tumultuous movement around him as if the water had been brought to a boil.

Not a single ghost-faced bat dared to come near the green-clad man!

Packaged by the endless sea of ghost-faced bats, he strolled down the street with light steps, arriving in front of the portal carved into the Heavenly Mountain.

The green-clad man picked up the Jade Pendant, gave it a glance, then surveyed his surroundings once more. Without a word, he turned and drifted away.

Wherever he went, the ghost-faced bats gave him a wide berth!

Maxton James was dumbstruck, his eyes filled with terror.

Who was this person?

His attire, his aura that made countless monsters keep their distance, all pointed to his extraordinary identity.

He must be a high personage of The Unknown Land!

There were actually still survivors in The Unknown Land!

A chill ran down Maxton James’s spine as cold sweat soaked his back.

Although he couldn’t fathom the true strength of this person—who hadn’t shown any superhuman abilities—the fact that monsters scattered wherever this person went was proof enough that he was no ordinary man!

Even an Innate Grandmaster couldn’t achieve this feat!

Too terrifying!

If he still had the Jade Pendant, would this green-clad man be the one to come after him?

Luckily!

...

Carson Flores threw the green robe, shoes, and headcloth he had taken off into the fire, completely eliminating any traces of the body.

He sensed that there had been quite a few survivors watching him, and thus, the green-clad man who no longer existed was destined to become a legend.

But he wondered if the people from the Five Dragon Sect were already dead?

Carson Flores made his way back the way he had come.

Even though they had agreed on ten days, there was no longer any need for Carson Flores to stick around. The presence of the ghost-faced bats gave him the perfect excuse to bow out.

Racing all the way, it didn’t take long for Carson Flores to reach the entrance, where he unexpectedly ran into the Howell Family’s team.

All four members of the Howell Family, not one missing.

Carson Flores was a bit surprised; these people had been lucky not to run into the ghost-faced bats?

”Carson Flores?”

Garrett Howell and the others’ expressions changed drastically.

They had cursed Carson Flores countless times in their hearts, hoping he would die in the Underground City. That way, the shameful acts they had committed and the humiliation of being defeated by Carson Flores would never be known. However, all their hopes were shattered at this moment.

Carson Flores was still alive!

Carson Flores looked at the group and casually asked, ”How come you’re back?”

Garrett Howell replied, ”We saw a big fire earlier and ran towards it, only to encounter a floor full of monsters that looked like bats but had terrifying fangs and sharp claws. We even saw adventurers who had been eaten down to their bones...”

Garrett Howell’s face lost even more color as he spoke, seemingly frightened by merely recalling the scene.

Jeffrey Howell added, ”We were all injured earlier, and our combat power had decreased a lot. When we saw that scene, we were all scared and decided to head back after discussing it.”

Carson Flores realized that they must have stumbled upon the scene of his first encounter with the ghost-faced bats, which indeed was terrifying.

Garrett Howell asked, ”Why did you come back too?”
