The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Not sincere?

Carson Flores asked in surprise, "Brother Bai, why do you say that?"

Lucas White chuckled, "Even if I didn’t make a move, the Great Luo Immortal from the Sect is only at the Illusion-Breaking Realm, and couldn’t do anything to you. If that weren’t the case, why would you remain calm and stay put when they appeared, instead of escaping right away?"

Carson didn’t deny it. After all, who would stick around to die without some means of escape?

Denying it would be an insult to everyone’s intelligence, wouldn’t it?

Carson smiled openly, "I just found it annoying and wanted to curse them a bit."

Lucas White chuckled, "The strong ones don’t dare provoke them. Those who are weaker, even if they suffer a loss, have to swallow their anger and don’t dare speak up. It’s my first time seeing a Heavenly Immortal withstand a Great Luo. Brother Lin, you’re truly gutsy."

Carson replied truthfully, "If I were alone, I would have just slipped away. In Mingxiang Valley, with so many powerful people, I thought if I stirred things up a bit, someone would definitely respond. So, I stayed a bit longer. Actually, if you were a few seconds later, I would have been out of there."

Lucas White admired Carson’s bravery in taunting everyone, not minding stepping in himself. Instead, he quite respected Carson’s courage: "Your words were more than just provocative; they were a slap to everyone’s face. I don’t know about others, but I was definitely stirred up."

"Of course, the reason I stepped in wasn’t just because of your words but out of genuine admiration for your courage. After all, speaking like that offends not only the Sect but also many present here. Some narrow-minded ones might not want to provoke the Sect but could take it out on you."

Carson, of course, understood this, and nonchalantly laughed, "At most, I’ll just run away. If it’s really some incredible power, unless they have ties with the Sect, I don’t believe they’d attack me knowing I’m the victim. They’re all big shots; who’s willing to lose face in front of everyone?"

"You’ve got it all figured out, haven’t you?"

Lucas White chuckled, "Regardless, Brother Lin, you’re incredibly heroic. I genuinely want to be friends, which is why I stepped in to help."

Carson readily said, "I’ll treat you to a drink!"

Lucas White smiled broadly, "I love drinking, and I love drinking with friends even more!"

Carson chuckled lightly, "Hold on a sec, my wife just went off to chase down the other two robbers. She’ll be here soon."

Lucas White looked a bit surprised, "You’re married?"

Carson didn’t elaborate much, just smiled, "Yes."

The two didn’t wait long before Selah Ellison Venerable One appeared, landing lightly by Carson’s side, her gaze slightly curious, "Honey, who is this?"

Carson introduced them with a smile and recounted what had just happened, finally saying, "Let’s go. We’ll find a place, make some good food, and have a drink."

Selah Ellison Venerable One smiled, "Alright, it’s time to indulge again."

Lucas White’s eyes lit up, "Brother Lin can cook?"

Carson modestly said, "I can cook, but as for the taste, I wouldn’t boast about it."

Lucas White laughed heartily, "I’m looking forward to it!"

The three found a place with beautiful scenery, and Carson set up a table and chairs, took out his cookware, along with a collection of rare ingredients, and began to cook.

Carson’s culinary skills in the Mortal Realm were just above average, certainly not comparable to professional chefs. However, along the way, Carson figured out many good dishes by combining precious ingredients from the Immortal Realm with cooking methods from the Mortal Realm.

Carson hadn’t even taken out his wine yet when Lucas White had already produced a jar of wine, smiling, "You bring the food, I’ll bring the wine. This is a treasured wine aged in Profound Ice from the Wine Immortal Sect, one of their sect’s prized possessions. Come, have a taste!"

Carson laughed as he brought out the Immortal Wine brewed by the Ancestor Dragon, smiling, "I have a jar too. It was brewed by an elder from the Dragon Clan. By a stroke of luck, I acquired a pot. Use a borrowed flower to present to Buddha, you have a taste too!"

Lucas White laughed heartily, "Sure, I love drinking, and one of my life goals is to taste all the fine wines in the world. Today, I get to try another one."

Carson poured Lucas White a cup, smiling, "This wine has quite a kick."

Lucas White also poured two cups from the wine he brought, smiling, "You should try this wine too."

Carson smiled, "This wine is from the Wine Immortal Sect. Just hearing the name, it must be good wine, something ordinary people can’t possibly taste."

Lucas White chuckled, "That’s right. This wine, let alone outsiders, most of their own people can’t even drink. Only the core senior members might get a taste. It contains not just one or two kinds of Immortal Elixirs, making it invaluable and rare. Usually, they gift it as a precious offering..."

Carson curiously asked, "Then how did you get this wine?"

"I stole it."

Lucas White laughed heartily, "I sneaked into their wine cellar and snatched a few jars of their most precious wine..."
