Chapter 170 - Too Much Intelligence Would Hurt Oneself
Lea nodded his head in doubt, implying that he remembered.
Elvis continued, “With your abilities, you should have reached the scene early right?”
Lea’s heart thumped, seemingly understanding what Elvis meant.
Elvis was not expecting Lea’s reply and just continued to say, “I heard from Xiaomeng that you came from the skies when she was almost choked to death by Quentin. You did not even fly there, and this implies that you had long arrived at the scene but you did not appear from the start and just watched Quentin hurt Xiaomeng, right?”
Lea released the hand that he used to dispute with Elvis and staggered two steps backwards, not saying a word.
Elvis did not force him to reply and just said plainly, “You feel that you’re not as important as Xiaomeng’s ‘principles’ to her while in your heart, Xiaomeng is also not as important as Saint Nazaire. That time, to give her a warning so that she wouldn’t dare to easily step out of Saint Nazaire again, you allowed Quentin to hurt her. During the battle against me, you also considered Saint Nazaire’s future and thus, did not use your entire strength, eventually. In the end, you even thought of pretending to mate with Nina to break Xiaomeng’s heart… in your heart, besides her identity as messenger of the Beast Deity and her ability to bring an overwhelming strength to Saint Nazaire, what else is there left?”
“I…” Lea stay silent. One day, the clever male was actually reduced to silence by Elvis.
“I can’t hand Xiaomeng over to someone that places her on a balance.” Elvis stepped backwards and blocked the entrance firmly.
Lea did not try to rush in again and he looked down at his own shadow, muttering to himself, “Did you tell Mengmeng this thing yet?”
Elvis shook his head and said, “I don’t want to tell Xiaomeng things that will make her sad.”
Lea gave a bitter smile and nodded his head, yeah, Elvis’s character was not the type to badmouth others behind their backs.
Lea’s mind was very clear. The judgment of his actions back then was rational and correct. To keep Gu Mengmeng in Saint Nazaire, they had to first lock her information as a messenger of the Beast Deity within the tribe and the lesser she interacted with the outside world, the longer this information could be locked. Then, there would be a higher chance of Elvis and him fighting to mate with Gu Mengmeng and even let her bear her first expectancy within this period of time.
So, he acknowledged Barete to let Gu Mengmeng out of Saint Nazaire because he thought that everything was within his control with his secret protection.
Or…
Even earlier, he had already deduced everything countless times.
He did not tell anyone else besides Elvis that a messenger of the Beast Deity would be sent to Saint Nazaire. He shielded all of Nina’s obstinate and willfulness, as well as, her arrogance and dominance and even awarded Nina with the title of First Beauty himself by exercising an invisible, formative influence. So, when the messenger of the Beast Deity arrived, Nina, who was used to acting overbearingly, would definitely create trouble, and this was exactly the opportunity he wanted.
Of course, without Nina, he could also nurture a female like Nina himself, it might be Sandy or Maya but Nina’s seeking of refuge lessened most of the trouble for him because for someone who had done such things once before, it was much easier for them to do it again.
As what the truth had proven, all of Lea’s deductions were correct. According to his predictions, Nina started a dispute, Quentin laid his finger on a female and he played the role of a hero at the crucial moment of danger.
But he did not expect that the messenger of the Beast Deity, Gu Mengmeng, was someone who would make his heart skip a beat once again.
