Gu Mengmeng was being trapped on both sides by Cole. She clenched her fists to control herself, trembling all over.
At the same time, Leonard was already charging over.
He didn’t care that he was already drenched in blood and didn’t care that he was no match for the fourth-level Cole. He had already been blinded by hatred, and killing Cole was his only reason for living.
But just as Leonard reached Cole, he was suddenly struck still by a snide “kneel down” command issued by Cole.
Leonard started spasming uncontrollably, before actually kneeling down.
Gu Mengmeng was astonished. She could not detect any beast pressure from Cole at all, but Leonard was completely stunned from fear.
This…
Cole looked up to enjoy Gu Mengmeng’s surprised gaze. He smiled. “Ah Gu, do you see now? My existence in this world is one of a kind. And I have reserved the position by my side for you. The minute you give your assent, you will be my mistress. I am willing to bend over for you and prop you up to a higher status overlooking this world.”
“No need,” Gu Mengmeng said curtly. She gestured for Elvis to bring her away.
Gu Mengmeng felt some pity towards Leonard.
A person who hated stray beasts so much had now turned into a stray beast himself. And he even had to bow down at his enemy’s feet without the ability to resist.
Gu Mengmeng now understood what Lea had said earlier, that Cole didn’t derive pleasure from the kill, but from the despairing expressions of his struggling victims.
What he wanted was to destroy the happiness of others.
But Gu Mengmeng was unable to help Leonard in his misfortune.
After all, he had chosen Dora himself. He was the one who took in the ex-members of the tribe who attacked the Snake King valley, and offered the Soul of the Forest in exchange for their pardon. He was also the one who left Dora behind to follow Gu Mengmeng to seek out the Soul of the Forest. Every step had been taken on his own volition. Who else could be blamed for his current state?
Cole had made use of Dora to scheme again Gu Mengmeng, but Gu Mengmeng had never directly caused any harm to others. She would never blame herself for the choices of others, or have thoughts such as—if not for me, things would not have turned out this way.
She was only thinking about the whereabouts of her son. How he was now.
Elvis knew Gu Mengmeng well and so didn’t waste any words. He just quickly carried Gu Mengmeng out of the walkway, and scanned the surroundings. He spied Chixuan sprawled beneath a tree, not far off.
He was not in human form and had obviously been beaten back to his original state.
If not for the slight rise and fall of his belly region indicating that he was still alive, Gu Mengmeng would have just fainted over.
Lea immediately went up and started treating Chixuan.
Frowning, Lea cursed in his heart: That damn Leonard. Why did he have to be so heavy-handed? If Cole didn’t kill him now, he would personally do so!
Beating Chixuan into such a state. Mengmeng would be so heartbroken.
“Lea, how is Chixuan?” Gu Mengmeng spoke softly, as if she was afraid any loud noises might cause further injury to her son. But as soft as her words were, she couldn’t mask the quiver in her voice.
This son was always a drag on her heart, causing her unbearable pain.
Lea took a deep breath before turning to look at Gu Mengmeng. He raised his eyebrows. “Mengmeng, promise me that you have to remain calm.”
Gu Mengmeng’s body went slack at his words. She laid haplessly in Elvis’ arms, trying to hold back her tears. “Will he… die?”
Lea lowered his eyes and frowned deeply. He didn’t answer directly. “I will try my best to protect him, but you must take good care of yourself. Because if anything happens to you, I will definitely tend to you first.”
