Kaenu Hail’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Seth Hoffman and Marco Hoffman, "You’re saying, that person is Carson Flores?"
Marco Hoffman affirmed, "Yes."
Kaenu Hail still couldn’t believe it, "The Carson Flores, who had a conflict with your Hoffman Family recently?"
Having his wounds reopened, Marco Hoffman’s face didn’t look great, but he still replied assertively, "Yes, that’s him. He disguised himself, but his silhouette hasn’t changed. I felt he was familiar before and even asked him if we knew each other..."
Kaenu Hail asked curiously, "You didn’t recognize him before, so how did you recognize him after he left?"
Marco Hoffman said awkwardly, "Someone mentioned Carson Flores, and suddenly I realized where that familiar feeling came from. Mr. Kaenu, I stake my life on it, that man is Carson Flores!"
"Who is Carson Flores?"
Emilio Compton asked with a cold face, not concealing his murderous intent.
Steal my things, you’re looking for death!
Marco Hoffman looked at Emilio Compton, and an idea suddenly struck him. Wasn’t this a perfect opportunity to deal with Carson Flores?
Even if Carson Flores and his wife were impressive, could they be more formidable than a cultivator from a Blessed Land of Cave Heavens?
Even if Emilio Compton couldn’t kill him, behind him were even more powerful cultivators. They would surely be able to kill Carson Flores!
Not even considering the North Peak Sanctuary of the Sacred Mountain or the Spiritual Ruin Blessed Land, just the Eastern Peak Sanctuary of the Sacred Mountain alone was enough to kill Carson Flores a thousand times over.
Marco Hoffman replied, "Carson Flores, twenty-seven years old. His father’s origins are unclear, and his mother is a member of the Frost Family from Xijing. The year he was born, his parents disappeared without a trace. It’s unknown whether they’re dead or what. He had stayed in Xijing for some time with the Frost Family Members. Recently, he helped a branch of the Frost Family and fought against our Hoffman Family..."
Marco Hoffman conveyed everything the Hoffman Family knew, concluding with, "Our Hoffman Family has also been searching for him everywhere. We only found that he initially took a flight to Haidong, and then he vanished without a trace."
Emilio Compton said coldly, "He’s on good terms with the Frost Family Members?"
Marco Hoffman nodded, "To be precise, he’s only on good terms with the branch his mother belongs to. He helped them against other branches of the Frost Family..."
Emilio Compton nodded, his gaze falling on Seth Hoffman, "Immediately send someone to take control of every person from Carson Flores’s mother’s branch. Then call Carson Flores and tell him that if he doesn’t return the Water-Fire Mirror, I’ll wipe out his mother’s entire family!"
After pausing, Emilio Compton’s tone softened slightly, "If you loyally help me with this task, and we can retrieve the Water-Fire Mirror, I won’t only help you get rid of Carson Flores, but our previous promise will also stand—I will allow six members of your Hoffman Family to enter the Eastern Peak Sanctuary of the Sacred Mountain and even pull you into the Sect!"
Seth Hoffman’s eyes suddenly lit up.
The chance for immortality has returned!
Not only could they eliminate Carson Flores, the nemesis that disgraced the Hoffman Family, but they could also step into a Blessed Land of Cave Heavens and become cultivators!
"Yes, Mr. Emilio, I’ll arrange the orders right away and not let a single Frost Family member escape."
Emilio Compton’s gaze was cold as he looked at Seth Hoffman, "I can give you benefits, but if you deceive me and use me as a pawn, then there’s no need for the Hoffman Family to exist!"
Seth Hoffman was shocked, yet he wasn’t afraid because that person was, without a doubt, Carson Flores.
Emilio Compton waved his hand dismissively, "Go handle it. He has the treasure and is surely going to study it somewhere close by. We’ll wait for him here. However he took it, is how he’ll return it to me!"
Seth Hoffman energetically went to contact Hank Hoffman; although the revelation of Carson Flores being a cultivator surprised him, he didn’t fear it.
Carson Flores’s background was crystal clear; raised by Andrew, schooled, served in the military, discharged—living a life among mortals, far from any relation to Blessed Lands of Cave Heavens. Perhaps he had stumbled upon a Cultivation Technique and secretly cultivated it.
That might also be the reason for Carson Flores’s rapid and meteoric rise in strength.
So what if he’s a cultivator?
A mere mortal cultivator, how could he withstand the crushing power of a Sect’s cultivators from the Blessed Lands of Cave Heavens?
Dare to steal from the Cultivator Sects, Carson Flores is doomed this time!
After Seth Hoffman left, Emilio Compton turned to Nikolai Jimenez and Elise Parry, "Fellow Daoists, you have seen what happened. The Water-Fire Mirror was unearthed by my people, and according to our agreement, it belongs to our Eastern Peak Sanctuary of the Sacred Mountain. Despite the complications, the outcome will inevitably be the same. Please stand by and not interfere further."
Nikolai Jimenez and Elise Parry exchanged glances, each discerning the other’s similar intentions.
The item was indeed found by you, but wasn’t it stolen by someone else?
If we find the item from the thief, shouldn’t it be considered ours? We don’t have to return it to you, after all, the item hadn’t reached your hands yet, right?
Kaenu Hail stood aside, watching the three of them openly and secretly clash, remaining silent, his eyes thoughtful.
Carson Flores, a cultivator?
Where did he get the Cultivation Technique from?
Did his father leave it to him, or was it passed on to him during an immortal encounter at Mount Kahdas, or did he obtain it from exploring the Spiritual Ruin Blessed Land?
