Chapter 1239

Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo

The few bodyguards led the way. After walking for half a kilometer, a few masked men dressed in black
blocked them in their paths.




“Who are they? They don’t seem friendly…” Davin whispered.

Having scrutinized the men, they noticed that they all have a symbol wrapped around their sleeves –
Crystal Rose.

Levant asked, “So, they’re the followers of Crystal Rose?”



Instantly, the man dressed in black asked, “What do you want?”



“We’re here to look for someone!” Draven replied.

“Who?” the unknown man continued asking.



“We’re looking for Crystal Rose, the Lady of the Nepenthe Valley.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Leave now!”





Davin stared at the symbol on their sleeves. “Nonsense! You’re her men! You’re all adorned with her
symbol!”

The men dressed in black coherently looked toward their sleeves. Impatiently, they growled, “What
symbol? Leave now!”

Right then, Evan’s bodyguard instinctively moved forward, standing in between Evan and the mysterious
group of men. “I suggest you move out of the way! Don’t block our paths!”

One of the men replied, “I think they prefer violence. Then, that is what you will get!”

Soon after that, a fight started almost immediately.

Draven, whose skills surpassed the Hidden masters, was impeccable. His mastery of the grapple and
dodge techniques were beyond perfection. His opponents were dumbfounded. Not one of their aims
landed on him despite how hard they tried.

Meanwhile, Davin sneered and mocked, “Don’t worry. Take your time. It’s a shame that you’re only
punching the air. You seem quite strong, though. If you continue this way, you’ll be exhausted soon
enough.”



The leader of the men in black stared ferociously at Davin. He then took a deep breath and lifted both of
his arms, hitting left, right, and center.

However, his efforts were to no avail. Even worse, Draven managed to make him stumble, and he
slammed onto the ground forcefully.

Davin could help but sympathize with him, “Didn’t I just tell you to take your time? Why did you act
contrary to my advice? My, my, look at you now. I say, it must surely hurt! Anyway, be careful, or else it



will only get much more painful.”

“Shut up!” the man was embarrassed and yelled in response.

“Why is it that you can’t accept the truth? If that’s the case, stop lying on the ground and stand up. Stand
up and get beaten up like a man!”

The man in black gritted his teeth and got up. Just as he managed to regain his balance, Draven
launched a ferocious kick that sent the man flying.

At one side, Davin shook his head and sighed. “Looks like it’s over. He can’t take it anymore!” He then
continued to insult the man, “Hey, can you still take a hit?”

The man gritted his teeth and glowered at Davin hatefully. The next second, he retrieved a knife and
hurled it in Davin’s direction.

Fortunately for Davin, he nimbly avoided the knife. He was nonetheless shocked by the sudden attack.
“Gosh, I nearly took a direct hit. That was a close call!”

Levant scoffed. “This is on you. You talk too much.”

Yet, Davin cheekily replied, “I’m just telling the truth! Look at how pissed he is! Was I wrong to say it?”

The man was fuming with anger. Being humiliated in front of his subordinates, he would have lost the
respect to be their leader. I might as well risk everything!

Right at that moment, the man was willing to sacrifice his life to take down Davin.

He mustered every ounce of strength and stood up clumsily. However, Draven effortlessly pinned him
down. This time, regardless of the humiliation by Davin, he no longer had the energy to stand up.



The rest of the men in black struggled but lost eventually. At last, all of them collapsed onto the ground.

“I don’t understand. These men are supposed to guard the entrance? What is Crystal Rose thinking?”
