The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard-Chapter 724 I Won’t Leave!_1

The City Lord’s Mansion had collected six million spirit stones, while Carson Flores and Situ Xiu had gathered twenty-five million spirit stones; the thirty-one million spirit stones had been depleted by twenty-two million in the past six days.

In the first day, five million were used up, averaging three million six hundred thousand per day over six days, a number that was much less than previously estimated.

The anxiety of everyone had increased since Zion Frost’s departure on the fourth day, as the consumption of spirit stones had sharply decreased.

What was Zion Frost up to?

He surely wouldn’t have left without reason. If he abandoned the operation, then it would be meaningless for the others to stay.

He must return, perhaps with reinforcements, or perhaps with a secret weapon.

Worry as they might, the city still had to be defended.

Carson Flores accepted the spirit stones brought by Killian Jaramillo and finally said, "You look worn out, get some rest quickly. Rest for half the night and leave early before dawn."

Killian Jaramillo shook his head, "I’m not leaving."

Carson Flores frowned, "It is very dangerous here. If Zion Frost appears again, something unexpected may happen, and you could find yourself in danger by staying."

Killian Jaramillo smiled and said, "It’s fine. If there is danger, I will run. Besides, I am from the Thousand Swords Sect, and since I haven’t taken action, Zion Frost won’t do anything to me."

With Killian Jaramillo putting it that way, Carson Flores found it hard to insist, and her reasoning did make sense.

Though the Holy Fire Sect was formidable, they would not make enemies without cause. Killian Jaramillo herself was a representative of the younger generation of the Thousand Swords Sect disciples, and her elderly ancestor was among the high ranks of the sect. Until she acted against the Holy Fire Sect, they would certainly not target her and needlessly provoke the Thousand Swords Sect.

"Alright, you can stay, but you have to promise me not to take any action to help us," Carson Flores relented.

After speaking, he added, "To be honest, if we cannot hold them off, your intervention at the Golden Core Stage wouldn’t help, other than to put yourself at risk."

Killian Jaramillo pursed her lips and smiled, "I understand. If there’s a problem, you should run without worrying about me. I won’t make a move and I won’t be in danger."

"It’s a promise."

On the seventh day, nothing happened.

On the eighth day, nothing happened.

On the ninth day, after breakfast, Carson Flores went to check on his senior sister, Delaney Hunter.

Delaney Hunter’s physical state had greatly improved. Although still unconscious, the Immortal Drunken Poison within her body had mostly dissipated. It seemed she would awaken today or the next.

Seeing Carson Flores come out, Killian Jaramillo asked, "How is it?"

"The poison is nearly gone. She will wake up soon."

Killian Jaramillo smiled, "I hope she wakes up soon. Then, we will have overcome this crisis."

Carson Flores nodded, but his mood was not much brighter. The absence of the unseen Zion Frost always weighed heavily on Carson Flores’s heart.

The attacks in the sky from the Nascent Soul cultivators had become sporadic; they knew Delaney Hunter was about to awaken.

Zion Frost had not returned yet, leaving them here. If Delaney Hunter awakened and attacked, wouldn’t they be sitting ducks?

Aside from Zion Frost, who could withstand Delaney Hunter?

By noon, the sun shone radiantly, with not a cloud in sight. Carson Flores, sitting cross-legged on the platform, suddenly felt something and turned his head abruptly.

A black dot appeared in the distant sky, speeding rapidly towards them, and quickly reached the airspace above White Wave City—it was Zion Frost, who had been missing for several days.

Carson Flores’s heart sank; that man had indeed returned.

Hector Tate appeared before Carson Flores with a solemn face and said in a low voice, "If the Aura Barrier is broken, you run immediately, do not linger."

Carson Flores responded gravely, "If the city really falls, he will first come for me. White Wave City is no match for the Water-Fire Mirror, and considering the immense humiliation I’ve caused him, he must capture me to salvage his honor. At that time, you all must take the chance before the rest descend to escape..."

Qing Ling clenched her fists nervously, "The city defense array—he’s just one person, it won’t be that easy for him to break through, right?"

Carson Flores whispered, "Let’s wait and see."

In the sky, Zion Frost looked at the group before him and said coldly, "I will blow up the light screen, then I will enter, and once the shield disperses, all of you will come in and kill all the cultivators!"

Gary James, whose arm had been severed, said with a bitter gaze, "We must catch that kid Carson Flores; I want to tear him into a thousand pieces."

Zion Frost smiled faintly, "Once I’m inside, the first thing I’ll do is catch him. Don’t worry, I will leave him alive for you."

A vicious smile appeared on Gary James’s face, "I’ll skin him piece by piece, making him regret ever coming into this world!"

Zion Frost nodded, but his eyes held a trace of chilling intent.

He only needed to seize the Water-Fire Mirror; as for the man, let Gary James kill him. In the unlikely event the man really was Daxton Campbell’s disciple, and Daxton Campbell sought revenge, then the murderer could take the fall.

Zion Frost waved his hand, and a spherical magical treasure about a meter in diameter appeared before him. He slapped the magical treasure, which immediately erupted in blinding brilliance, and plummeted rapidly towards the ground below.

In the blink of an eye, the spherical magical treasure descended thousands of meters and then directly collided with the apex of the White Wave City’s Aura Barrier.

"Boom!"

It was like a nuclear explosion; the entire world shook violently. At the top of the city’s Aura Barrier, a hole several kilometers in diameter burst open instantly.
