The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Who’s coming?

Carson Flores was slightly puzzled. He and Delaney Hunter stepped out of the pavilion and then saw three people descending from the sky, the leader being the haughty man from the auction house who had bid against him.

Carson Flores instantly understood; this was someone who couldn’t outbid him and was now looking to settle the score privately.

The haughty man landed and, looking coldly at Carson Flores, said, ”Kid, do you know why I’m here?”

Carson Flores raised an eyebrow, ”Feeling like you’ve lost face at the auction, so you came to find me and vent your anger by beating me up? Or else you’re planning to force a sale, and make me hand over the Divine Thunder Soul Wood?”

The haughty man sneered, ”If you know what’s good for you, hand over the Divine Thunder Soul Wood, and I won’t take it for nothing—I’ll give you fifty-five million Spirit Stones!”

Carson Flores blinked, ”I spent a hundred and five million on it. You’re offering me fifty-five million, so wouldn’t I be losing out?”

The haughty man sneered, ”I would have gotten it for fifty-five million if not for you showing off and attracting bad luck. Giving you fifty-five million is already a kindness on my part.”

Carson Flores laughed, ”So, I’d just lose out?”

The haughty man said haughtily, ”Consider it a lesson. If you don’t have the strength, don’t offend people you can’t afford to offend.”

Carson Flores nodded, then countered, ”After all this talk, at least give me a name, how else would I know if you’re someone I can afford to offend or not?”
