Chapter 1777: Chapter 1777: Did She Bully You?
Celestial Palace.
Alfred Weaver sat at his desk, holding a document, with a Celestial Palace guard reporting beside him.
The guard had waited for quite a while, but hadn’t received any instructions from Alfred Weaver. Unable to resist, he quietly looked up, only to find Alfred Weaver’s gaze was still on the paper, but he appeared motionless.
Was he lost in thought?
The guard tentatively called out, “Sir?”
Alfred Weaver suddenly raised his gaze, as if snapping back to reality, and instructed the guard, “I need to think about this, you may leave for now.”
The guard was somewhat puzzled. Wasn’t this a routine procedure, a routine report? Why did it require consideration?
“Yes!”
The guard left with a puzzled heart, leaving only Alfred Weaver alone in the room.
Alfred Weaver’s aloof expression suddenly crumbled. He covered his face with his hands, and his face flushed slightly.
How embarrassing.
He actually lost focus in front of his subordinates.
The reason for the blush was because he had just been thinking about Carson Flores.
“I don’t know where this guy ran off to, so secretive!”
Previously, Daniel Patel and others failed to surround and kill the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas, only to find Carson Flores had disappeared.
This disappearance lasted almost a month, worrying Alfred Weaver terribly, and Daniel Patel felt incredibly guilty because they found that the one operating the escape magical treasure was merely an incarnation.
Where did the real body go?
The real body had evidently slipped away halfway, and the last place it vanished was at the lofty mountain where Carson Flores hid.
Daniel Patel believed Carson Flores must have been casually captured by the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas, and then after leaving a certain distance, likely killed him casually as well.
Capturing Carson Flores was to prevent him from leaking secrets, the reason for killing him was the same!
Just when Alfred Weaver was about to despair, he suddenly received a message from Carson Flores.
He was fine, currently very safe, but he had some personal matters to attend to, so he couldn’t return to the Celestial Palace for now!
Alfred Weaver finally breathed a sigh of relief but was still puzzled about what Carson Flores had encountered.
With lingering thoughts in mind, Alfred Weaver occasionally thought of him.
As was the case just now.
Alfred Weaver was still covering his face when he suddenly heard footsteps. He quickly rubbed his face, restrained his expression, picked up the paper again, and continued to review, waiting for the visitor.
“Knock, knock, knock!”
“Come in!”
Someone pushed the door open and walked in. Alfred Weaver lifted his head with a cold and stern expression but suddenly froze.
Standing at the door was none other than the very Carson Flores he had been thinking about just now?
Alfred Weaver blinked, fearing it was just his imagination.
With a playful smile, Carson Flores looked at Alfred Weaver and chuckled lightly, “What kind of expression is that, are you not happy to see me return?”
It’s real!
This guy is so annoying!
Alfred Weaver threw down the paper in his hand, stood up from his seat, couldn’t help but smile, but then immediately put on a stern and angry look.
“Do you even know to come back? You left without saying a word for so long, don’t you know it would make me… everyone worried?”
Carson Flores couldn’t contain his amusement at Alfred Weaver’s pretense of seriousness and anger, explaining, “I didn’t want to run away, if I didn’t, I would have died, there was no choice.”
Alfred Weaver widened his eyes, no longer able to maintain his stern facade, quickly walked up to Carson Flores, looked him up and down, and confirmed he was uninjured before sighing with relief.
“Were you really captured by the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas?”
Carson Flores nodded, “Sort of, when she was escaping, she used Gold Cicada Shedding, and we ended up face to face, she was injured, so she captured me to operate the Flying Boat and head to the South Region for medical help.”
With a hint of concern, Alfred Weaver asked, “Did she bully you?”
Carson Flores shook his head, “She’s an Immortal Monarch after all, if she couldn’t stand me, she would have directly killed me, why bother bullying?”
Alfred Weaver asked, “Have you been with her all this time?”
Carson Flores nodded, “More or less, I even went to the Baiye Mountains once to help her find medicine.”
Surprised, Alfred Weaver asked, “Help her find medicine, why didn’t you take the chance to escape?”
Carson Flores admitted, “Because she said if I helped her, she would help me breakthrough the bottleneck.”
Alfred Weaver instinctively exclaimed, “She’s the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas, the White Cloth Blood Envoy. How could you trust her words? After using you, she might casually kill you, what could you do—”
Alfred Weaver suddenly stopped, seeing Carson Flores smiling.
Alfred Weaver widened his eyes in disbelief and said, “Did she actually fulfill her promise and help you achieve a breakthrough?”
Carson Flores nodded, “Yes, I’m at the Initial Stage of True Immortality now.”
Alfred Weaver’s expression immediately turned peculiar, glancing at Carson Flores a few times, “I heard from Grandpa Patel that the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas is actually a woman who looks quite good, you didn’t—”
Carson Flores laughed, “No, she just kept her promise. By the way, I also encountered Maggie Fitzgerald, got chased quite a bit by her.”
Alfred Weaver widened his eyes, “You saw Maggie Fitzgerald? Where have you been all this time, didn’t you go to the Heavenly Alliance headquarters?”
Carson Flores chuckled, “I don’t have the guts for that, that would be delivering myself to death wouldn’t it, I haven’t lived enough yet—”
