Cole opened his arms, giving him a clear “Do whatever you want” pose, with a hint of provocation in his smile. He raised his chin, “If you killed me… who would bring you guys to the Snake King valley? It’s fine if those little wolves died, you can probably kill me now. If I enter the grave with the sons of the messenger of the Beast Deity, you can consider my death an admirable one.”
Lea did not say a word, only gesturing please, meaning for Cole to take his leave.
Cole shook the beast skin on his body, smiling at Lea, “You’ve mimicked me for countless of years, and you do seem like you do have some romantic charm to you today. However, replicas will be replicas, see you some other time, so we won’t have to remember this moment.”
Lea did not reply, only smiling gently with slight disdain, indifference and inadvertent calmness.
Cole did not say anything either, only turning around to leave.
As compared to when he banished Lea back then, Cole was much more dignified. However, he had much more hatred and reluctance as compared to Lea then.
Why me?!
These two words made it as if Cole could cry blood from his eyes.
The instant he turned around, Cole’s expression turned hideous and scary, while Lea behind him was filled with serenity.
Taking a glance up at the sky, Cole turned into a black shadow as he disappeared in the bowers.
Lea turned around to walk back to Sauder… Oh, no, there was no longer a Sauder in this world. It is now Saint Nazaire’s territory, and in Gu Mengmeng’s words, a “subsection”.
The original tribe elders had a secret room specially for them to discuss about work, so Gu Mengmeng used burned wood ashes to write the two words “Meeting Room” above while Lea used his claws to scratch these two words little by little, then using beast skin strips to tie at the two sides, hanging it above the entrance of the secret room. From then on, the secret room had a holy name, the “Meeting Room”.
Lea fetched Elvis and Gu Mengmeng and they were just getting ready to talk about the little wolves when they met Sandy and Collin on their way there.
Both of them looked worn out by their journey, and it was as if they had no opportunity to rest after just arriving at Sauder and had come to find them immediately.
Gu Mengmeng is always in a good mood when she sees Sandy. Pulling Sandy’s little hand, she was just about to spill out how much she had suffered the past few days, only to see Collin fall to his knees beside her feet with a face of agony, “Mighty Messenger, please punish me.”
Gu Mengmeng got a shock and was about to ask what was going on? However, Sandy wiped her tears, holding back Gu Mengmeng’s hand while crying, “Gu Mengmeng, can you not kill Collin? I’m begging you… It was my fault, everything was my fault, blame me if you want, please don’t kill Collin, alright?”
Gu Mengmeng stared at Sandy, then at Collin in confusion, waving her arms, “Can anyone first tell me what’s going on? Are you both possessed?”
Collin moved forward while still on his knees, “It’s none of Sandy’s business, it’s my fault. As the messenger’s guard, I only cared to protect my female when in danger and did not fulfill the responsibility of a guard. When everyone was fighting a bloody battle, I selfishly protected my female and not for you. As a guard, I’m this… that… that… As a fellow tribesman of Saint Nazaire, I’m this… uh… anyway, I have sinned.”
Sandy shook her head, pulling at Gu Mengmeng’s arm, “No, don’t blame Collin. I was too afraid then, so I grabbed him and did not let go, not allowing him to join the battle, forcing him to stay by my side. It was my fault, I dragged Collin down and made it happen. Punish me if you want, but spare Collin, won’t you? I’m begging you, please don’t kill him.”
