Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 1240

Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo

“Don’t be too full of yourselves. We’re the easiest opponents you’ll face. As you progress into the valley,
someone will definitely defeat you!”




The man in black snarled, exposing the fact that they were mere pawns. There would be many more
skilled fighters waiting for them along the journey.

Davin wanted to enquire more about the path ahead – the possible ambushes, the number of fighters.
However, despite repeated attempts to interrogate, he couldn’t obtain any information.

Their responses were the same. “Nepenthe Valley is basically hell. Once you get in, there’s no getting
out!”



“Come on. First, you can’t defeat us, and now you’re trying to scare us off? Do we look like cowards to
you?”



Evan’s gaze intensified. He reminded everyone to be careful before proceeding in their journey.

The valley was hushed, and they could not hear anything at all. The more it was the case, the more wary
everyone was.





“By right, there should be some animals in the valley. Even if they weren’t on land, there should also be
some flying in the skies. But there’s absolutely nothing! I don’t understand!” Levant looked around the
lifeless Nepenthe Valley and asked quizzically.

“I agree. Do you think that Crystal Rose is ferociously bloodthirsty? Even the animals feared her, and the
birds dared not fly across the valley.”



“We will get our answers once we meet her.”

“In that case, let’s pick up our pace.”

The bodyguards suddenly reminded, “Mr. Evan, Mr. Davin, we can’t go any faster. Nina is really weak
right now. If we speed up, she might not be able to handle it.”

Evan turned his head back and looked at Nina, who appeared sallow and sickly. “Are you tired? Do you
need to rest?”

However, Nina shook her head. “I’m not tired. I can still go on.”

Evan suggested, “I think you should just let the bodyguard carry you on his back. They can take turns,
and it shouldn’t be a problem.”



The bodyguards replied intermittently, “No problem at all. We’re willing to carry Ms. Nina!”

“Right, we are!”

At the same time, Monica had tiredly collapsed on the ground. “You guys go ahead. I can’t do this
anymore.”



Davin scornfully remarked, “I thought you’re fine just a moment ago? It seems to me like you just want
someone to carry you too!”

Monica had been pushing herself for quite some time, but she was now exhausted. She didn’t even have
the energy to rebut Davin’s statement and just stared at him, distasted. With her head lowered, Monica
did not utter another word.

At that moment, Evan instructed, “Carry her on your backs too. Look at how skinny she is. She shouldn’t
be too heavy.”

The bodyguard heeded his instructions and replied, “Noted, Mr. Evan.”

Monica was, however, taken aback. Why is Evan treating me so nicely?

She said, “Don’t think that I’ll forgive the Seet family just because you’re helping me now. Even if you
guys manage to save me, I will get my revenge one day!”

Evan’s glacial stare landed on her, but he chose not to respond. He continued walking straight ahead,
and the others followed suit.

Another hour passed, and they reached a heavenly place with birds chirping and flowers blossoming. It
was a complete and radical change of surroundings, to everyone’s surprise.

“Oh my god, all the while, there wasn’t a single living thing. It was as if every step was an inch forward
into the depths of hell. But now we’re in such a beautiful place. This is like heaven!”

Evan muttered, “It clearly shows the wretched personality of Crystal Rose! We must be extremely careful
with our moves!”

Just as he finished his sentence, a few women approached them gradually. They were sizing Evan and
the group up, their eyes scanning them from top to bottom. Then, with a beaming smile on her face, one



of the women said, “You’re all our guests. Please come in for a cup of tea.”

I don’t get it. What’s with their kind gesture?

Levant noticed the shock on Davin’s face and reminded him softly, “For every kind gesture, there must
be an ulterior motive. I think, by inviting us into their place, they must be plotting something evil…
Perhaps… to capture us?”

Davin agreed with what Levant had said, but…
