The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2563: Victory, but Not a Complete Victory!

"Yes, that’s exactly what I mean!"

Lorvian Randall sighed, "Originally, we had a more comprehensive plan; he basically couldn’t escape, but things went wrong, and the news leaked, so we had to launch prematurely."

"Because the launch was rushed, many arrangements were not yet in place, and although we finally defeated him, we ultimately left a loophole, allowing him to escape."

Carson Flores asked worriedly, "Between the Sea God and the Sect Hierarch, surely the Sea God holds higher authority?"

Lorvian Randall chuckled, "Yes, under normal circumstances, even if someone successfully seizes power, as long as the Sea God’s Seal is in their hands, they can openly command all followers to fight alongside them against the usurper, and most followers will follow."

"However, this time the situation is special because Elder Briggs is the former Sea God and Sect Hierarch. He was betrayed by that person, which led to the Sea God’s Seal falling into his hands, making him the new Sect Hierarch. Now that Elder Briggs has revealed the truth, he has the identities of the former Sea God and Sect Hierarch, so most members will choose to follow him, recognize him as the new leader."

"Under such circumstances, even if that person brandishes the Sea God’s Seal, he still wouldn’t be considered the legitimate Sea God, and might not have many followers. Instead, it would expose himself and draw our pursuit."

Upon hearing this explanation, Carson Flores immediately understood.

The Sea God’s Seal, isn’t that akin to the ancient imperial jade seal?

The one holding the imperial jade seal is the true chosen one, recognized and followed by all. But if you’re a thief who stole the seal, who would walk with you, who would follow you?

Halvyr Briggs, the former bearer of destiny, returns to reveal the truth. Even without the imperial jade seal now, people will still recognize him.

"Besides being the Sea God’s token, does the Sea God’s Seal have any other uses?"

Lorvian Randall explained, "The Sea God’s Seal is the source of the Sea God Sect and the Will Power Path. It’s also the origin of all Sea God Commands. Moreover, the Sea God’s Seal is a powerful Innate Spiritual Treasure, endowed with spirituality."

Wow, is it that powerful?

Carson Flores’ eyes lit up, "What does ’endowed with spirituality’ mean? Does it have an Artifact Spirit inside?"

Lorvian Randall shook his head, "You can think of it as consciousness. It has awareness, it’s alive, but it’s not a person, nor the Artifact Spirit you’re referring to."

Isn’t this just like my Emperor Seal?

The one possessing the Emperor Seal is the Human Emperor. The Emperor Seal chooses the suitable person itself; perhaps the Sea God’s Seal is similar.

Lorvian Randall sighed, "The Sea God’s Seal is infused with immense Will Power. With it, one can gain great divine skills. For example, anyone who chants its name can be sensed by its wielder, who can gaze from the void like a deity."

"Precisely because of this, only the holder of the Sea God’s Seal can truly be called the Sea God. In that previous battle, if the Sea God’s Seal hadn’t remembered Elder Briggs as its former master and hadn’t fully aided that person, we wouldn’t have won."

"Even so, Elder Briggs was severely injured and needs to retreat to heal. But the good news is that to escape, that person used up the Will Power stored in the Sea God’s Seal. Now we’re strictly controlling the Sea God Commands and secretly monitoring. It’s not easy for him to massively replenish his Will Power."

Carson Flores asked, "So after all this, you haven’t completely won yet?"

Lorvian Randall looked helpless, "A Sea God with the Sea God’s Seal is like a god-like existence. It’s already quite impressive that we could win and reach this point."

"Now we’re secretly searching for his whereabouts. As long as we can find him, this time we have the upper hand. If he wants to run again, it’s not going to be so easy."

Carson Flores poured some cold water on the situation, "But you have to find him first. If the other side is really determined to hide, temporarily not using the Sea God’s Seal, how will you find him?"

Lorvian Randall nodded, "Yes, we’re not worried if he makes a move. Even if he manages to grab many Sea God Commands, as long as he’s exposed, everything will be easier. Our concern is if he stays hidden, takes his time, or even takes the Sea God’s Seal and travels far away..."

"The Sea God’s Seal is the source. If he takes it to an Immortal Domain without faith or the Will Power Path, even starting from scratch, he could recreate the Sea God Sect’s glory in no time."

Carson Flores nodded, but said nothing.

He understood the situation but couldn’t offer any help.

Lorvian Randall clearly comprehended this too and changed the topic with a smile, "Since you’ve come here, why don’t you stay awhile? Let me play the host properly."

Carson Flores answered cheerfully, "I was originally planning to go to the West Prison, but I thought you might not find me, so I came proactively. Seeing that you’re quite busy, we won’t take much of your time, just stay one night then leave."

Lorvian Randall was anxious, "Why the rush? No matter how busy I am, I have time for you. It’s rare for you to come..."

"Forget it."

Carson Flores joked, "You’re not a stunning beauty, I don’t need you to accompany me. If I want to roam around, isn’t it better with Cassiane Sinclair than with you?"
