Chapter 531: Chapter 531 Are you waiting here to kill me?_1

"Carson, once you leave the mountain, where do you plan to go?"

With a smile, Carson answered, "I’ll see how things are. Maybe back to West Capital, maybe back to Seashore... What about you, will you keep up with your old trade?"

Apart from training, the two occasionally chatted and became quite familiar with each other.

Lilly’s face turned awkward: "I had no choice before, and I just couldn’t bring myself to harm the poor... Now that my master’s illness can be cured, and you’ve given so much money to support the orphanage, I naturally won’t do those things anymore. I’m aware that if I encounter a tough spot, I could easily lose my life, or even suffer a fate worse than death."

Carson chuckled: "Now that you’re already a Grandmaster, you can make money doing pretty much anything."

Lilly curiously asked, "How can a Grandmaster make money though?"

Carson replied offhandedly: "The use of martial force comes down to two things, destruction and protection. You can either be the destroyer, as an assassin or enforcer, or the protector, as a bodyguard or consultant. It comes down to what you choose."

Lilly pressed on: "I have a rough idea about assassins, determining the price based on the strength of the target to make money, and I somewhat know about bodyguards, providing safety for clients and charging by time or occurrence. Both are quite risky, but what does being a consultant mean?"

Carson explained with a laugh: "An assassin kills for money, a bodyguard trades their life for money, but a consultant is a relatively equal cooperation. Similar to ancient retainers, you serve as a consultant for a family or power, and in exchange, they provide you with money or other goods. This compensation is something you discuss yourself."

Lilly replied with a smile: "That being said, being a consultant seems pretty good."

Carson nodded: "A consultant is like a high-level executive in a company, drawing a high salary, managing big affairs, but not having to sell their life for their employer. Generally speaking, it’s about doing your best without feeling guilty."

Lilly’s eyes lit up: "Sounds good..."

Carson continued with a smile: "Those who have Innate Grandmasters are usually the top Cultivator sects or families. Those with a Grandmaster are also quite well-known, like the Tielimu Sect in Dingburg that commonly dominates an area and can virtually act as an emperor."

"Moreover, the world is full of wealthy people, and there are many families and sects without a Grandmaster. You can be a consultant for any one of them, and your status will be quite transcendent..."

After a pause, Carson said with a smile: "If you really consider this, go to Seashore. I can introduce you there. The only Great Grandmaster of the Eight Great Families in Seashore has been crippled by me, and now there isn’t a single Great Grandmaster in the entire Seashore. You can go to the Johnston Family, Martinez Family, or Firzgerald Family, all of whom have a good relationship with me. You could live quite comfortably..."

Lilly, excited, said: "Are you in Seashore too?"

After some thought, Carson replied: "I might not be in Seashore in the future, but my wife’s company and related industries are in Seashore."

Lilly was taken aback: "Carson, are you married already?"

Carson laughed: "I’m so handsome, isn’t it normal for women to like me and get married?"

On second thought, Lilly found it to be true and felt a slight sadness, as if some faint ideas had been shattered before they were fully formed.

"Alright then, if I go to Seashore, please introduce me, Carson."

The two chatted casually as they descended from Mount Kahdas.

Just as they were leaving the Mount Kahdas Range, nearly reaching Dingburg, someone had already raised a telescope from afar.

"Carson Flores!"

"It’s him! Go report at once!"

As Carson and his companion approached the city gate, a black business sedan suddenly drove up and stopped in front of Carson.

Carson slightly narrowed his eyes.

Having just left Mount Kahdas and not even entered the city, being intercepted like this indicated that someone knew he had gone into Mount Kahdas and had been watching the entrance of the Mount Kahdas Range, waiting for him!

The Tielimu Sect?

Dealt with by him, and having taken a hit, were they bitter and had found a master to block his way, looking to recover their face?

The car door opened, and a white-haired elderly man got out, his gaze sharp as a hawk’s as he looked at Carson.

"Carson Flores, you sure know how to hide. Hiding in the Mount Kahdas Range where there’s no signal, and for two months at that. What, you thought the heat had died down and it was safe, so you quietly slipped out?"

Carson smiled: "What about Quinn Cobb? Why isn’t he showing his face? With help like this at his disposal, why doesn’t he come out? Is he that scared of me?"

"Quinn Cobb?"

The elderly man sneered: "Laughable, on the brink of death and still unaware of who your opponent is!"

Carson blinked. If it wasn’t Quinn Cobb from the Tielimu Sect seeking help, then who?

"So, who are you?"

The old man replied proudly with his hands behind his back: "I am Abel Compton from the Five Dragon Sect. Let me ask you, did you kill Shane Fox and the other five from my sect?"

The Five Dragon Sect!

Surprised, Carson looked at Abel Compton: "Yes, I killed them. How did you find me?"

Abel Compton said sternly: "Our Sect Master issued the Five Dragon Order to hunt you down. As long as you are active in this world, you cannot escape!"

Carson realized that the Five Dragon Order from the Five Dragon Sect was probably similar in nature to the Wang Family Inquiry Order, essentially offering a bounty for his head. As soon as he had dealings with other Cultivators, someone would inevitably sell his whereabouts to the Five Dragon Sect.

Carson said with a laugh: "So, you’ve waited here to kill me?"

Abel Compton spoke coldly: "Rest assured, I will spare your life for now. I’ll take you back to West Capital because our Sect Master wants to see you!"
