Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 1751

Chapter 1751 The Key To The Treasure

I can’t believe that the prospect of a treasure trove couldn’t even tempt someone as money-minded as Davin. It seems like his cowardice surpasses his greed. He must’ve refused to go because he thinks it’ll be dangerous. How am I going to convince him to go?

Levant’s mind whirred as he came up with another plan.

Meanwhile, Davin was looking down at his phone’s screen that had dimmed, thinking that he should not have hung up just like that.

I should’ve told him off more and vented my frustrations. Why do I always think of all the comebacks I should’ve said after hanging up? It’s the same when I argue with Sheep. After every argument, I’ll feel like I didn’t express myself well enough. I only think of what I should’ve said to get back at her when I’m lying in bed at night. I’m losing my touch. I’ve got to practice more. Look at what happened just now. I was trounced by Levant when he went off at me like a psycho. Why didn’t I just give him a piece of my mind immediately? Why did I wait for him to finish?

Davin sighed heavily, determined to work on his argument skills.

He had just put aside his phone and closed his eyes to rest for a while when he heard the door opening.

A person dressed as one of the staff entered and walked toward Davin with his head lowered.

Davin’s brows knitted. “What is it?”

The man did not speak as he continued walking forward.

Davin glanced at the man warily. Sensing something amiss, he sprang to his feet and opened his mouth to question the man. However, he suddenly saw the glint of a blade and felt a dagger pressed against his neck.

“It’s been a while since we last met, Davin.”

This voice! It sounds so familiar! Is it… Lucas?

Davin felt his heart lurch. “You! What do you think you’re doing?

“I don’t have time to talk nonsense with you, Davin. If you want to live, then hand over the key to the treasure.”

Davin looked bewildered. “The key to the treasure? What key?”

“Stop playing dumb. That night when Imperial Garden was about to get bombed, Evan gave Steven a coffer. The key to the treasure is inside a coffer that looks just like that!”

“Inside that coffer? I had no idea! Didn’t you say that Evan gave it to Steven? Then you should go and hunt down Steven! What’s the use of coming to me?” asked Davin.

“I did, but there was no key in that coffer Evan gave him. It was a fake. The real coffer with the key is still with Evan!”

Davin thought hard for a moment, then shook his head. “No. That can’t be. Evan gave him the real one.”

A dangerous look blazed in Lucas’ eyes. “Davin Seet, I’m done arguing with you. You’re going to help me with this. You have no other choice.”
