Chapter 1345: Chapter 1345: How could I, as a son of Kahdas, be so utterly insane?

As soon as Bryant James uttered these words, the faces of those from Kahdas changed dramatically.

"Bryant James, is it really you?"

Turning his head, Bryant James cried out, "Uncle Master Liu, save me! That man has possessed my body, aiming to completely devour my Primordial Spirit. But because I’ve taken the God-Protection Pill, he can’t fully devour me. I’m still alive!"

Uncle Master Liu flew up, urgently beseeching with cupped hands, "Chairman Flores, Bryant James is not dead yet. Please lend a hand to save him!"

Carson Flores’ mouth curved upward slightly, his face revealing a smirk.

"Bryant James?"

Seeing the expression on Carson Flores’ face, Bryant James roughly guessed Carson’s thoughts at that moment. He probably couldn’t wait for Tommy Bernard to kill him.

"Carson Flores, I’ve offended you before, but I have been punished, and it’s all in the past. Please, considering we are both of the Human Race, save me..."

Carson Flores chuckled, "Tommy Bernard, you’re such a failure. A mighty Earth Immortal, and yet you can’t even handle an ordinary Cultivator..."

As soon as Carson Flores said this, everyone around was stunned.

What does Carson Flores mean by that?

Panic flashed through Bryant James’ eyes, "Carson Flores, what do you mean?"

"Exactly what I said."

Carson Flores spoke leisurely, "Originally, I was planning to deal with you myself after I finished my business. Then I heard Tommy Bernard went to find you, which I thought would save me some trouble. But who would’ve thought he’s such a failure, unable to even take care of you."

"Hmm, maybe it’s not that he can’t take care of you, but now he knows he’s bound to die. He could have fully suppressed your Primordial Spirit, but he let you out intentionally, seeking help. To see if, due to you being a son of Kahdas, you could find a way to survive. After all, his Primordial Spirit and yours are one now; if you live, so must he..."

The crowd’s gaze turned quite peculiar for a moment.

Was Carson Flores originally planning to personally take care of Tommy Bernard?

Uncle Master Liu’s expression darkened as he implored with cupped hands, "Chairman Flores, he has indeed offended you before, but as he said, he has been punished. It’s been so long since then, and you are about to achieve Ascension. Why bother settling old scores now?"

"Old scores?"

Carson Flores laughed heartily, "Do you really think I’m doing this because of the time he sent men to assassinate me on the way out of the mountains of Kahdas when we first met?"

Uncle Master Liu’s face showed a slight change, "Isn’t it?"

Carson Flores turned to stare at Bryant James, "Bryant James, you should be very clear about what you’ve done after our dispute at the Ghost Tower. Do you want to say it yourself, or should I?"

Bryant James’ eyes abruptly shifted, his heartbeat racing.

After the dispute at the Ghost Tower, he had hired assassins, a fact that weighed heavily on him. How could he not know?

Could Carson Flores know about it?

Impossible.

Even if he was targeted for assassination, the assassin couldn’t possibly know it was he who gave the order, right?

No matter what, he dared not admit it, only insisting on denial: "I don’t know what you’re talking about?"

Caron Flores chuckled, "Though I don’t need any reason to kill you, I’m someone who talks things through. So, let’s elaborate, so you understand clearly why you’re going to die."

Carson Flores took out a Soulmirror Stone, "This is our conversation from the final challenge in Ghost Tower, where everything was pushed onto me, and you said to bear the consequences..."

Carson Flores played the recording from the Soulmirror Stone, his expression chilling slightly.

"I repelled the Demon Race’s vanguard, took refuge in Winter Chill City, and was considering how to save the citizens at the front lines, when the leader of the Assassin Organization Blood Shadow’s Misrds State branch disguised himself as someone close to me to approach and launch an Assassination attempt on me."

"I got slashed across the face, my neck was cut halfway through, and my heart was nearly pierced. If not for my sturdy Sword Bone, my skull would have likely exploded with the first strike. Had it not been for the intervention of Cristopher Hopkins Immortal, who subdued the attacker, I would’ve been more likely dead than alive that day."

"Bryant James, you tell me, who hired the assassin to kill me?"

The multitude of powerful onlookers was in uproar; by this point, it was evident to all.

Bryant James was the mastermind behind hiring the assassin!

Those from Kahdas who harbored some dissatisfaction with Carson Flores, thinking him too petty, exchanged embarrassed and ashamed glances.

They turned their hopeful gazes towards Bryant James, wishing he could prove his innocence. Otherwise, the shame would not be his alone, but Kahdas’ as a whole.

Bryant James felt as if his heart had plummeted into the Abyss, his whole body chilled. How could Carson Flores have known the assassin was hired by him?

No, even if it was the assassin, how could he have known?

"You’re spouting nonsense! You’re framing and slandering me! At that time, you were the Human Emperor; why would I hire someone to kill you? Wouldn’t that endanger the entire Human Race and give advantage to the Demon Race? As a son of Kahdas, the only one with an Innate Taoist Body, how could I do such a thing?"

Bryant James spoke forcefully, casting doubt in the minds of many.

Indeed, Carson Flores was the Human Emperor at the time, leading the fight against the Demon Race. To kill the Human Emperor then, would that even be considered part of the Human Race?

If he succeeded, wouldn’t the Demon Race be laughing their teeth off?
