“Why are you so anxious? They are not your children anyway.” Cole smiled coldly and continued, “Ah, are you trying to act like a saint in front of Ah Gu? It’s useless, she doesn’t buy it. She just told me that… Nobody would fight with his life for someone that he is not related to or close to, all things come with a condition.”
Lea smiled and said, “You don’t need to care about my intentions, you just need to know what kind of situation you are in right now.”
Cole smiled too, he said, “Do you think I am an idiot like you? You are not killing me now only because you have not found the little wolves. Once I hand them out, you will torture me in all ways possible.”
Lea nodded his head and said, “It is indeed hard to be kind in front of you. Since you don’t believe me, I’ll phrase it in another way.”
Lea’s smile was still calm and mild, he strangled Cole’s neck with both of his hands and he said, “Give us the little wolves, or I will make death a luxury for you.”
Cole wanted to say something, but he could not make any sound with his throat being clenched by Lea.
Lea looked like he just recalled something and he said, “Oh, are you waiting for your guards?”
Cole squinted his eyes, but saw Lea signalling to the outside and Auretin walked past the door while dragging a bloody creature. He could not see it clearly, but the fox tail was obvious enough.
Lea gave Cole some time to think over it, before saying, “Or… Are you waiting for the warriors that went to attack Saint Nazaire while Elvis and I are here to save Mengmeng? Well, they should have reached Saint Nazaire now, but what to do now? There’s not a single person in Saint Nazaire right now, all the warriors in our tribe are in Sauder. In other words, Sauder is in our control now.”
“You… You are lying!” Cole finally could not keep his cool, he leaned forward and tried to grab Lea.
Lea stood up slowly and took a step back. He frowned and said, “Sorry, but Mengmeng don’t like others touching me.”
Cole did not give up and tried to look outside, but realized that there was really not a single one of his own men in sight.
“That’s impossible, you couldn’t have known… I have personally given out all the orders, you…”
“I did not know your plan, I only knew what kind of person you are.” Lea looked down on Cole and said, “You released your beast pressure on Saint Nazaire for Mengmeng to come and ask for your help, since you are the only fifth-level orc she knew. You must have been so proud seeing Mengmeng coming to look for you, but you knew that Elvis and I would come along too, once Mengmeng sees us, she would not rely on you anymore. So the best way is to get us out of the way, get Saint Nazire out of the way, get everything she could rely on out of the way and make you the only walking stick she has. Wasn’t this just a remake of what you did to me years back? How could I have not guessed it?”
Cole squinted his eyes, smiled coldly and said, “My ninth-brother had indeed grown up.”
Lea looked to the ground and said without emotions, “It was all about learning from my failures. But, what I can tell you is that your warriors are probably not returning. After all… even as the orc that achieved the peak of the fifth level, you are in this state because of the mating contract, them being fourth-level might not be able to withstand it.”
Cole’s body softened, as though he had lost all strength, and he said, “Winner takes all, kill me if you want to.”
