    Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 1240


    “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 ck 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 onnd, 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 copsed 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 cial starended 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 ce with birds chirping and flowers blossoming. It


    was aplete 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 ce. 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. Pleasee 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 ce, they must be plotting something evil…


    Perhaps… to capture us?”

    Davin agreed with what Levant had said, but…
