Mistaking The CEO For A Gigolo Chapter 1742


    Chapter 1742 Danger Lurking In Every Corner


    Recalling what had happened to Faye, Nicole cautioned, “Be extra careful if we manage to set foot on


    Daemonic Mount. Faye was poisoned there. Danger could be lurking in every corner, so we have to


    stay vignt.”


    “Understood, Mrs. Seet.”


    “We’ll be on guard at all times, Mrs. Seet.”


    Nicole nodded. With that, the group set off for Daemonic Mount, carefully surveying the surrounding


    with each step they took.


    Halfway there, the weather turned unexpectedly windy.


    They shared a look, somewhat bewildered by the sudden strong gusts. “That’s strange. The weather


    was fine just moments ago…” Jensenmented.


    “Weather changes can happen pretty quickly, I suppose,” Damien said, shrugging it off.


    “True… I’m just concerned that it’s going to rain now. Going up a mountain while raining? That’s not


    going to be pleasant.”


    Having overheard the exchange, Evan appeared deep in thought. He was suddenly reminded of the


    two poisoned patients, one of whom had said he was looking up at the sky because he thought it would


    rain when something bitter dripped into his mouth.


    Would the weather be providing the perfect opportunity for those in Daemonic Mount to poison


    someone? The rainwater could beced with poison and enter one’s body through the mouth. If it does


    rainter, the consequences would be horrid.


    Juan seemed to have also felt that something was amiss. He nced at the overcast sky and the


    towering, almost foreboding-looking peak of the Daemonic Mount before turning to his father. “Daddy,


    how about we stop and rest for a while? It’d be troublesome to hike up in such weather. We wouldn’t


    want to be caught in the middle of a downpour with nowhere for shelter.”


    Evan nodded approvingly, for he shared the same thoughts.


    Nicole, too, expressed her concern. “Yeah, I think we should put our expedition on hold. The weather is


    not exactly on our side.”


    “It’s decided, then. We’ll stop for the time being,” Evan said firmly. He pointed at a nearby hill they had


    trekked past a while ago. “I remember seeing a cabin on that hill. Let’s check it out and see if we can


    take cover there.”


    Draven nodded.


    While the rest agreed readily, Jensen and Jeremy had other ideas. “Mr. Seet, why don’t you guys go


    ahead? Jensen and I will be the advance party, and we’ll continue our way to Daemonic Mount to scout


    the path ahead. If we run into trouble, we’ll retreat at once. At the very least, we would not be as


    clueless when we hike up the mountainter,” thetter suggested.


    “I don’t think it’s a good idea,” Draven said, weighing in on the matter while gazing up at the sky. “We


    should just stay in the cabin together and wait for the weather to clear before moving again. There’s no


    telling what would happen if you travel in the rain. If you get trapped and even bump into someone on


    the mountain, it would be hard to flee.”


    “It’ll just be a quick recon; we won’t bump into someone else that easily,” Jeremy retorted.


    “Yeah, we’ll be cautious.”


    Seeing that he was unable to convince Jeremy and Jensen otherwise, Draven said nothing more.


    Damien chuckled. “Why are you guys so insistent on scouting? Could it be that you’re nning to go


    look for the treasure?”


    “Yeah! You guys must be thinking of testing your luck to see if you can strike gold, don’t you?” Darius


    chimed in.


    Indignant, Jeremy snorted and dered, “So what if we do? Besides, you never know—maybe we’ll


    really find something.”


    “So you do want to go treasure hunting!”


    “Whatever,” Jeremy said while rolling his eyes. He then looked at Damien and asked, “What’s it to you,


    anyway? If you want to join us, just say so!”


    “No way.” Damien shook his head. “It’s perilous here. Better to be safe than sorry.”

    “You’re a chicken—”


    Jeremy stopped in the middle of his taunt when he caught a glimpse of a silhouette overhead that


    moved as quick as lightning. By the time he craned his neck upward to get a better view, the figure had


    already flitted away, quickly disappearing between the trees.


    “Whoa. I-Is that a person or a ghost? That was so quick!”


    When the others looked over, the silhouette was already nowhere in sight.


    “I think it’s a person.”


    “The speed is impressive. Whoever the person is, they may even be able to give Faye a run for her


    money.”


    “We have to be careful, or we could end up poisoned like Faye.”


    Right after Damien spoke, Jeremy smacked his lips, frowning. “I taste something bitter,” he muttered.
