Carson Flores may only be a Human Immortal, but that does not hinder Lance Matthews from sincerely admiring him.
Carson Flores inherited Bank Austin's legacy, and in terms of seniority, he is Lance Matthews' junior uncle. Yet, it is not the seniority itself that earns Lance's admiration, but Carson's actions and deeds.
After acquiring the Heavenly Sword inheritance and joining the White Crane Immortal Sect, Carson truly made the sect his home, treating its disciples as family.
In the Full Moon Illusionary Realm, Carson helped many disciples out of peril. With his own strength, he obtained four to five hundred Misty Moon Peaches. If Carson were just a bit selfish, he could have kept more for himself, but he only kept fifty peaches for his use.
He also shared fifty peaches with Ashley Reid, who accompanied him, and distributed portions to each disciple who entered the valley. The remainder, he returned entirely to the sect.
Returning favors with favors.
