1044: Chapter 1044: The Human Emperor as a Bandit, This is Interesting!
This round of drinks, Carson Flores was straightforward about everything since Jorge Gross had already sensed sothing but did nothing about it, showing that he didn’t care.
Since that was the case, why keep hiding it?
They didn’t care precisely because Carson Flores was only of Nascent Soul Strength level; even if he wanted to do sothing, he couldn’t stir up any trouble.
If they knew Carson Flores’s true identity, they probably wouldn’t have been so careless.
After finishing the drinks, Zaire Schneider went off with a woman, and Carson Flores paid for both before leaving the tavern.
Carson Flores casually strolled around the bustling market to make sure no one was following him, then took out the Communication Stone and sent a ssage to Lilianna Norman.
Soon, Lilianna Norman appeared beside Carson Flores.
“Quick response.”
Lilianna Norman wore a hat and had dressed down significantly, blending in much better with the dark night.
“Good thing I placed a Spiritual Imprint on you, otherwise I’d never be able to keep up with your wandering,” she said.
Lilianna Norman curiously looked at Carson Flores.
“Have you been with them all this ti?”
Carson Flores nodded.
“They’re different from what I expected.
They’re bandits, yes, but they only rob the rich, the powerful, and the Sects.
They don’t harm ordinary civilians.
They have seven thousand Black Profound Stones.
I’m sticking around to see if I can get my hands on so.”
Lilianna Norman asked, “Can we just take them by force?”
Carson Flores shook his head.
“No, the leader and the Think Tank are both very powerful.
Oh, you should have seen the Vajra Bandit King.
He nearly killed you once .
.
.”
Lilianna Norman was startled.
“Who?”
Carson Flores explained, “His father was killed by the Demon Race.
He once tried to assassinate the Demon Emperor alone but was stopped and then turned to try assassinating you, only to be led into a Formation .
.
.”
Lilianna Norman realized, “The Vajra Bandit King is him!
Yes, that man was truly formidable.
Even several Demon Kings working together couldn’t stop him.
He managed to escape forcefully.”
Carson Flores nodded.
“They’ve pretty much accepted now.
I might hang around with them for a while.
You can go back to Greown City and wait for .”
Lilianna Norman shook her head.
“Going back would be boring.
I’ll stick with you.
I want to see what exactly you’re up to.”
Carson Flores smiled.
“Curiosity killed the cat?”
Lilianna Norman gave a playful smile.
“I’ve heard many stories about the Human Emperor saving the people or being on his way to save them.
This is my first ti seeing a live Human Emperor, especially one who’s a bandit.
So, I want to see how your path unfolds.”
Carson Flores helplessly shook his head.
“You really are fond of leisure.
Even if you were practicing your skills, you would at least grow stronger, but what good does watching the spectacle with bring you?”
Lilianna Norman chuckled.
“Watching the excitent with you is far more interesting than training.
Don’t worry about .
I can take care of myself and avoid making myself known.”
Carson Flores nodded.
“In that case, do as you wish.
Just be careful not to reveal your identity.”
Carson Flores naturally need not worry about Lilianna Norman’s strength, for even if she encountered a Hollow Void Practitioner, she, with her Innate Taoist Body, could certainly escape.
Carson Flores spent three days in the city with Zaire Schneider eating and drinking, and nothing out of the ordinary happened.
After three days, everyone gathered again at the mountain outside the city.
Kellan Gentry and Jax Gross, who had been missing for three days, reappeared.
“Is everyone ready?”
Kellan Gentry scanned everyone and smiled, “I’ve found a big deal to handle.
A major battle is coming up, so prepare yourselves.”
Caden Compton asked, “Boss, who are we hitting?”
Jorge Gross answered, “That’s confidential for now.
Just follow along.
Oh, and here.”
Jorge Gross threw out a box.
“This is a Black Profound Stone Essence Bead, it’s yours.”
Caden Compton joyfully caught it and exclaid excitedly, “Thanks boss, thanks Think Tank, haha!”
Jorge Gross cautioned, “Just don’t open it right away.
There’s a seal on the box.
Once opened, the Essence Bead will begin to work, and after ten days it will lose its effect.
So don’t open the box until you’re ready to break through during your reclusive ditation.”
Caden Compton stored the box and smiled, “Alright, I’ll go into seclusion next ti we rest and try for a breakthrough in one go.”
Carson Flores’s gaze fell on Caden Compton, his expression slightly complex.
The Essence Bead was in Caden Compton’s hands.
Caden Compton was only at the Peak of Spirit Transformation, neither a Think Tank nor Kellan Gentry.
Dealing with him should be easy.
Unfortunately, Carson Flores couldn’t make a move.
During their ti together, although Carson Flores and the others were not brothers in life and death, they were still companions, and they hadn’t done anything outrageously evil.
Carson Flores had no reason to harm them for the Black Profound Stone Essence.
Zaire Schneider slapped Carson Flores’s shoulder and chuckled, “Jealous, huh?”
Carson Flores forced a smile.
“Jealous.”
Caden Compton chuckled, “Kid, it’s too bad there’s only one bead.
Sorry, you’ll have to try harder!”
Carson Flores smiled.
“Sure.”
Jorge Gross’s gaze fell on Carson Flores’s face, watched him intently for two seconds, then turned away and said, “Alright, let’s move out!”
