Chapter 961 - I Will Tell You If You Can Defeat Me.
Lea couldn’t be bothered with those two and just waved his tail. “I had gone to the ocean previously and heard there was a female mermaid called Dora…”
Lea dragged out his sentence as his gaze landed on Dora. He had yet to complete his question, but it was already clear he was interrogating her.
Dora didn’t try to hide the fact and just nodded. “I think the Dora whom Mister Lea mentioned must be me.”
“Oh, it might not be? I heard that Dora stole the treasure of the Giant Fish Tribe and framed the princess of her own tribe. I also heard that she was imprisoned and became a slave…” Every single word spoken by Lea was a trigger to Leonard’s emotional state. Chuckling, Lea glanced at Leonard’s increasingly red face. It was as if Lea was secretly taunting: Let’s see how much longer you can bear this.
“Yes, I was sold as a slave.” Dora continued to hold onto Leonard’s arm with her hand. She then continued. “It was Leonard who bought me and brought me here.”
“Oh… so it really is you. Mmm, then the word ‘lowly’ truly describes you.” Lea purposely poked at Leonard’s sore point in a lackadaisical manner.
“You…!” Leonard was incensed but was interrupted by Lea’s next words.
“Only a female who had committed a terrible offense would be imprisoned as a slave… I am sure you must have suffered a lot before being bought over here.” Lea glanced at the numerous mating marks on Dora’s body and chuckled. “Do you want to cleanse yourself of these?”
Dora’s eyes widened as she stared at Lea with urgency.
Leonard asked, “Do you have a way?”
He was distressed over the fact that Dora felt ashamed of the countless mating marks on her body. That nightmarish period haunted her day and night, and he wished for her to gain release.
Lea nodded and chuckled. “I will tell you if you can defeat me.”
Leonard had wanted to beat up Leonard right from the start. Now that he was offering himself, was there any other reason to hesitate?
He immediately morphed into a white tiger and pounced towards Lea.
Lea had undergone professional training in Sauder and also learned a lot during his days with the stray beasts. Further, he held many years of experience battling alongside Elvis. Hence, Lea was far more skilled than a beast at the same level as him. And Leonard’s attack… was vicious but not technical enough. He was often tricked by Lea into making mistakes.
For example the wooden pagoda was struck once and again…
Rumble….rumble…
A wooden beam rolled down and the unbalanced wooden pagoda started crumbling.
Lea dodged nimbly but Leonard was slower by half a beat. And that split second resulted in a wooden beam striking him on the waist, sending him sprawling pathetically on the ground. It was a while before Leonard was able to stand up again.
Lea returned to Gu Mengmeng’s side and placed one arm around Elvis’ shoulders. His bushy tail landed in Gu Mengmeng’s arms and he said with a cunning look in his slanted eyes, “Aiyo, Tribe Leader Leonard, as anxious as you are to help her find a solution, you shouldn’t dismantle the wooden pagoda used for people’s Coming-Of-Age Ceremony. How inauspicious… tsk, shouldn’t you hurry up and get your men to clean up this mess? If not, one might think we have entered some rundown tribe with dilapidated structures strewn all over.”
Leonard gritted his teeth. He was no fool and could see that Lea had been purposely directing the fight towards the wooden pagoda. Right from the start, Lea had planned to dismantle that wooden pagoda. Now, not only had Lea had gotten his wish, he was trying to pin the blame on Leonard.
