The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

"How many transactions have you completed?"

"Quite a few, but I don't know the exact number, I only know about the matter."

Norah Matthews answered candidly, "Humans capture the Dragon Clan and use methods to force them to submit, becoming their battle pets, even pets to pull their carriages. We, the Dragon Clan, capture humans and also treat them as slaves to serve us. So, using them for transactions is very normal."

Carson Flores didn't have much of an opinion on this. Isn't that what war is like?

Prisoners have no human rights, isn't it all about benefiting oneself?

If the Hundred Tribulations Gate hadn't caught disciples with potential they valued, they obviously wouldn't care so much about rescuing them. And if Carson and the others hadn't caught Callie Matthews, just an ordinary dragon with no special identity, the Dragon Clan probably wouldn't have cared that much either.

The war between the Dragon Clan and the Human Race has raged for so many years, neither side knowing how many of their people the other has captured.

Carson Flores nodded, "What about the other side's information?"

Norah Matthews shook her head, "I don't know. I'm not in charge of these matters, nor am I involved. If you want to know, you can ask the clan leader, if he is willing to tell you."

Carson Flores laughed, "Miss Meng really hates me to the core, if I went to the Dragon Clan, would I still return alive?"

Norah Matthews smiled, "You are an Immortal Palace Envoy, representing the Celestial Palace. As a guest, we will naturally treat you with courtesy. But I'm curious, what was your reason for helping the Hundred Tribulations Gate this time?"

Carson Flores laughed, "Among the people captured by the Puddington Tribe, there was a friend of mine, so I gave a hand to help."

Norah Matthews acknowledged with an "Oh," but didn't dwell on it; after all, although Carson was an Immortal Palace Envoy, he was just a True Immortal. Moreover, since everything had been agreed upon, making an issue of it would only make the Dragon Clan seem untrustworthy.

"The Dragon Clan welcomes Envoy Lin as a guest, and I guarantee your safety in my name."

Carson Flores blinked and laughed, "I'm afraid I'm temporarily unavailable. My strength is weak, so I'm planning to cultivate here for a while. How about you give me a token or something as a keepsake, so I can visit you when I have time?"

Norah Matthews smiled, "You are an Immortal Palace Envoy with an Immortal Palace Order; are you afraid someone will harm you?"

Carson Flores laughed, "The Immortal Palace Order might not be useful on your Dragon Clan's territory. I'm just a timid person with low strength, afraid of dying."

Norah Matthews felt like rolling her eyes. You, timid and afraid of death?

As a True Immortal, you dare infiltrate Callie Matthews' side alone, knowing that exposure would likely mean death, and you call that timid?

Norah Matthews took out a token and tossed it to Carson Flores, "This is my Azure Dragon Palace's Pass Token. With this token, the Dragon Clan won't make things difficult for you, and you can visit me at Azure Dragon Palace."

Carson Flores caught the token and examined it. It was made of wood with an Azure Dragon carved on it, radiating an azure glow, making it seem almost alive, carrying the True Dragon's majesty.

"Thank you, Miss Meng, I'll visit when I have time later."

Norah Matthews smiled, "I'll be waiting for your arrival at the Azure Dragon Palace."

With this, the negotiations were considered successfully concluded. Casen Matthews and Rhys Fox took the lead in establishing the contract, both sides pledging with essence blood, thereby completing the signing of the agreement.

With this contract, there would be no more conflict between the Hundred Tribulations Gate and the Puddington Tribe for a long time. After all, once you're cultivating side by side, what is there to fight about?

Isn't it better to focus on cultivation instead?

After the contract was completed, both parties notified their respective members to bring all the captives they were guarding.

Callie Matthews, Eliel Matthews with a severed arm, and the Golden Immortal Guards were all brought over and handed back to Casen Matthews.

Callie Matthews' eyes brightened when she saw Norah Matthews, "Auntie!"

Norah Matthews casually lifted the restriction placed on her by Carson Flores, a hint of doting in her eyes, "Are you alright?"

Callie Matthews shook her head, "I'm fine... what's the outcome of the negotiation? Did we pay a big price?"

Norah Matthews briefly told Callie Matthews the result of the negotiation, making Callie Matthews sigh in relief.

Thankfully, it's not too exaggerated.

Although there were some concessions, at least they obtained a forty percent usage right of the Spirit Vein, which wasn't too bad.

"Auntie, the ransom you paid, I'll repay you later..."

Norah Matthews smiled gently, "You silly girl, how can you be so formal with your aunt? This ransom is nominally a ransom, but it is actually a disguised compensation, not closely related to you..."

Callie Matthews turned to glare at Carson Flores, full of hatred, "If it weren't for mistakenly trusting him and being soft-hearted, I wouldn't have been ambushed and captured by him, leading to this situation, and losing three guards..."

Norah Matthews smiled lightly, "At such a young age, with such strength, to become an Immortal Palace Envoy and travel alone outside, it's not something that just any True Immortal can accomplish. This person, whether in terms of courage or capability, is quite extraordinary. You haven't traveled enough outside and lack experience; you're no match for him. You'd better keep your distance."

Callie Matthews gritted her teeth, feeling unwilling, suddenly asking, "Am I allowed to stay here to cultivate?"
