Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 1242
âEven if the entire Seet family was wiped out, it still wonât be enough to pay for my dadâs life,â Monica uttered.
Upon hearing that, Davin replied, âMonica, arenât you being too much? Itâs just normal if we decide not to save you! Evan, you saw it with your own eyes how evil she is! Letâs not save her.â
Shooting Davin a look, Monica did not reply.
After Evan, Levant, and Nina finished their drinks, the woman in white suddenly came forward. âEveryone, I was just informed that Lady of the Valley had allowed you to visit her.â
âSheâs willing to see us?â
âThatâs right. Please follow me.â
The few followed the woman in white through a zig-zagged pathway and arrived at a bamboo forest. There was a couple of stylish-looking bamboo houses there.
âGo on ahead. The person youâre searching for is right inside.â After the woman in white finished her words, she walked away.
Evan and Levant led the way, while Davin, Nina, and Monica followed close behind them. When they walked up to the bamboo house, a voice suddenly boomed inside. âI know you mean no harm. Thus, I donât want to make your life hard either. Please leave!â
Staying silent for a moment, Evan replied, âWeâre very sorry to have to disturb you. However, youâre our only hope. I heard that youâre the only one that knows how to cure bone erosion poison. If you agree to save my daughterâs life, Iâll be greatly indebted to you.â
âAre both of the women infected by bone erosion poison your daughters?â
When Monica heard that, she roared, âWho said that Iâm his daughter? I have nothing to do with them!â
âIf thatâs the case, why did you come together with them?â
Evan answered, âItâs a bit complicated to explain. Could you please come out and take a look at them first?â
The door to the bamboo house swung open, and a woman clad in black clothing walked out. Instantly, she attracted the attention of everyone.
When one looked carefully, they would observe that she exuded a refreshing vibe. It was not hard to deduce that she was undoubtedly a beauty when she was younger with her above-average looks. As for her age, Davin speculated that she was around the same age as his mother.
âSo youâre Crystal Rose?â
âThatâs correct!â
Right after she finished talking, Davin and Monica felt a feeling of dizziness and quickly tumbled to the ground.
When Evan witnessed that, he stared at Crystal Rose in shock. âWhat did you do to them?â
âDo you have evidence that I did that to them?â
At that, Evan furrowed his eyebrows. She has a point, as I did not see her attacking them. However, why would the two of them faint so suddenly?
Noticing his confusion, she decided to explain, âThey fainted because of the blood flowers planted in the garden.â
Upon hearing that, the remaining few recalled the beautiful blood-red flowers. Indeed, there was something off with those flowers. However, all of us had taken the same pathway getting here, so why were they the only ones who fainted?
Crystal Rose continued with her explanation, âBefore you arrived at the bamboo forest, you were asked to drink a cup of tea. As the tea was the antidote to the blood flowersâ poison, you were able to pass through scot-free. They both must have thought there was poison in the tea given to them and went without it. Contrary to their wild imaginations, the cup of tea was actually an antidote.â Then, she stared straight at the three of them. âTherefore, I would advise you not to act presumptuously in Nepenthe Valley. It might backfire on you.â
The three of them exchanged glances. It seems like Crystal Rose is certainly no ordinary person!
âSince youâre able to find this place, Iâm sure youâve heard about my rules as well. If you want to ask for a favor, you have to meet my requirements.â
Evan replied, âYes, Iâm well aware that you have three requirements. Firstly, you would only treat women, and we have met that. As for the following requirements, weâll try our best to achieve them.â
Crystal Rose sized them up carefully. âIt must have been a long journey for you to get here, so I wonât deliberately make things harder for you. For my second requirement, I have three things for you to do. With the achievement of each, Iâll detoxify thirty percent of the poison out of their bodies.â
âPlease enlighten me about it,â he replied.
