Chapter 249: Whatever She Offers, I’ll Double It!_1
The sound of high heels striking the ground could be heard as Kylie Martinez’s figure appeared at the corner.
"Sister Ling, save me!"
The man kneeling on the ground called out in a piteous voice, now somewhat panicked. If Carson Flores was really acquainted with Kylie Martinez, then he was done for.
Whether what Carson Flores said was true or false, it couldn’t hurt to sound more miserable.
Kylie Martinez walked over, followed by a middle-aged man with an agile figure and sharp eyes. His gaze landed on Carson Flores, filled with wariness; clearly, he was Kylie Martinez’s bodyguard.
Carson Flores inwardly sighed; cultivation families really did provide tight protection for their descendants, nearly every one of them had a bodyguard by their side, and those he had seen like Leonard Reid, Remy Johnston, Camille Rhodes, and Kylie Martinez all had bodyguards, and their strengths were formidable.
Some of these bodyguards were hired for a high salary, but many more were trained by the families themselves.
Ordinary people, even if they had talent for cultivation, would likely not be able to afford the costs of cultivation, but cultivation families had massive resources. Thus, they would recruit potential Cultivators, provide resources for them, help them improve their strength, help them grow, and in return, they served the families.
This was as if a company saw a promising employee and paid for their overseas training, enhancing their skills. In return, the employee had to work for the company for a number of years to regain their freedom, or else they’d face a hefty breach of contract fee.
For the selected Cultivators, it wasn’t a bad deal at all. What cultivation families lacked the least was money, and the rewards for risking their lives to work for them were extremely generous.
Even though they lost a bit of freedom, being sheltered under a big tree was advantageous. As part of a cultivation family, they had both money and status; plus, with the family’s pampering, many stayed for a lifetime once they joined.
