Chapter 653 - This Is Not Gratitude, It’s A Reward.
Gu Mengmeng really wanted to stay behind to comfort her son but after Elvis’s way of ‘educating’ Kanwu just now, it was very disadvantageous in terms of education to comfort him at this moment. The kid would assume that he had his Mother’s backing and would continue to doubt and provoke his Father’s authority. Especially in this Beast World where female rights were extremely psychotic, her actions might make Kanwu become someone who had no respect for anyone.
Although she could not consent entirely to Elvis’s hegemonic education, what she could not deny was that abilities meant everything in this Beast World where law did not exist.
It was either win or defeat, there was no third route left.
Peace….
Ha, after experiencing so much, if she still wished for everyone to reach a common consensus after a series of debate at the meeting table, she would not be so simple-minded anymore, it was just plain dumbness!
Lea carried Gu Mengmeng in his arms and did not rush to leave. He glanced at Burke who was still sitting against the tree trunk quietly, his gaze fixated on Gu Mengmeng all along. “Since you saved our little cub, to repay you….you don’t have to return the prey Barete provided for your tribesmen. But….the way you look at my Mengmeng makes me really displeased. If you still want your eyes, you better don’t let me see Mengmeng in those eyes of yours again.”
Burke was still sitting there, not moving an inch. He turned his gaze slightly to meet Lea’s eyes and he did not avoid him. After adjusting his breath, he then slowly said, “It’s my choice for saving Kanwu and asking Barete to take care of my tribesmen, you don’t have to thank me.”
Lea sniggered slightly and replied, “You’ve misunderstood, this is not gratitude, this is a reward. Kanwu is the messenger’s son, anyone will get a reward for saving him.”
To put it simply, you’re not special.
You saved the Messenger of the Beast Deity’s son, Saint Nazaire would return you your reward based on the regular course of official duties.
This was not mixing your private matters with official duties.
Don’t expect that you can create any private interactions with Gu Mengmeng from this matter.
Burke was not a fool, there was no way he could not understand what Lea had said so clearly. All males in this world were the same, if he switched positions with Lea, he would probably do things more cruelly and maybe even settle him completely before Gu Mengmeng wakes up. After all……Gu Mengmeng did not know that he came.
Burke’s gaze fell back onto Gu Mengmeng’s face as he awaited her stance.
Gu Mengmeng’s attitude…..
was directly turning around to lie back on Lea’s shoulders. She tilted her little head and huddled inside the pit of Lea’s neck before she closed her eyes and ignored everything.
Lea chuckled before his gaze returned to a soft one. He looked at Burke with a tint of disdain and said, “Tell that person, using a counterfeit item to battle another counterfeit item is not a smart move.”
After he finished speaking, he turned and left.
Elvis did not say anything all along as he just followed Lea back once he turned around.
Hede and his two brothers looked at one another before eventually chasing after Gu Mengmeng while carrying Chixuan.
Kanwu was the last one to leave, he seemed like he decided upon something as he turned back and ran towards Burke.
…
Returning to the place where she woke up, Auretin had already placed the pieces of handled prey beside the pot. Upon seeing Gu Mengmeng, he took two steps forward as his gaze flew towards the side of the pot. Based on his usual face-paralysis nature, this was already the most extreme anticipation he had ever shown. Clearing his throat, Auretin opened his mouth with much difficulty and said, “I’m here to share meal…..can we……eat hotpot?”
