Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 1728

Chapter 1728 I Am Going

“We can now confirm that the people from Daemonic Mount poisoned everyone to stop them from looking for the treasure. That means that the fastest way to get the antidote is to go to Daemonic Mount and capture the culprit. We’ll get the antidote directly from whoever it is!” said Evan.

Nicole, however, did not think it would be that easy. Going to Daemonic Mount and asking the culprit for the antidote? The people there are so terrifyingly skilled, and who knows what danger we’ll be putting ourselves in if we travel there?

Besides, Faye is an extremely skilled fighter, and even she was poisoned. Does a better fighter even exist? Who can we send over?

Nicole’s heart clenched in her chest.

“Evan, should we wait a little longer? Maybe my mentor will get back to me soon, or maybe I’ll figure something out from the books. I can also get the other doctors to help me look into the matter.”

Evan took a deep breath and sighed. After that, he pointed out, “Nicole, I don’t think we can afford to waste any time.”

Nicole fell quiet, well aware of what he meant.

“But… That place is so dangerous. Who do you plan on sending over?”

Evan’s eyes glowed calculatingly as his mind ran through a list. He eventually replied, “I’ll send Draven over. He’s the head of the Hidden Masters, and he can take the entire team over. Juan has been wanting to explore the place too, so he can tag along if he wants to.”

Let Juan go as well?

Nicole’s heart thumped faster when she heard that.

Juan can be impatient and impulsive at times, and he’s not as strong as Faye, so it’s highly probable that he’ll get poisoned too.

The Hidden Masters are only as skilled as he is, and among them, only Draven is slightly more powerful.

Nicole thought that their chances of success were still quite slim.

“Evan, have you considered… I mean, what if they fail to get the antidote and end up being poisoned as well?”

“Nicole, we can’t back away just because we’re scared. We can’t abandon Faye, either. She once put on a mask and disguised herself as you, just so she could take your place to go to Steven’s hideout.

“Moreover, Faye turned everything around for us at that critical moment when Steven tried to blow Imperial Garden up. She’s helped our family so much, and I can’t just let her die.”

Evan narrowed his eyes and scrutinized Nicole’s face. He was trying to figure out if she was lying.

“Nicole, do you really feel drawn to Daemonic Mount? Do you actually think that you’re connected to the place?”

Nicole nodded.

“Then why haven’t you said anything about it until now?” asked Evan.

Nicole paused for a moment before she continued lying, “I did feel the attraction earlier, but it was negligible at the time. Lately, however, the draw to that place is getting overwhelmingly strong.”

Evan was speechless.

He saw how Nicole’s eyes were gleaming and knew that she was lying.

“Are you really that eager about heading over?”

Nicole nodded and replied, “Yeah. I have to go there and figure out how I’m connected to that place.”
