In the Endless Sea Domain, the void suddenly twisted, and Carson Flores, Nerisse Blaine, and Theo appeared in midair.
Nerisse Blaine looked back; the distorted space had already recovered at lightning speed.
Carson Flores finally let out a breath of relief and laughed. "Although Immortal Gathering Island has always been very courteous and principled, being on someone else's turf never feels truly safe. Out here, at least we're free…"
Nerisse Blaine pursed her lips in a smile. "Did you do something shady? Why are you this scared?"
Heh, you actually hit the nail on the head!
I really did something bad—I abducted Immortal Gathering Island's flower maiden. But since she's in the Ethereal Pagoda, Carson Flores wasn't at all worried about anyone sensing her.
Carson Flores hadn't planned on telling Nerisse Blaine about this. After all, for her, not knowing was the best outcome. Even if they traced it back to him someday, at least she wouldn't be implicated.
