“It looks like she doesn’t like the beast pet I prepared for her.” Cole stood at a distance away from the fire. He stared openly at the sleeping Gu Mengmeng, as if looking at something that belonged to him. He gave light laugh which held a hint of perverted obsession. “Well, she always had good taste. In this world, only I am good enough for her liking.”
Lea gently drew back his arm from under Gu Mengmeng’s neck and slowly stood up to face Cole. His gaze was empty and dull.
“You are truly the Ninth Highness blessed by the Beast Deity, able to snatch Ah Gu right from that wolf’s hands.” In a flash, Cole instantly appeared before Lea and clutched his throat viciously. He laughed. “You no longer have any use for me. Die in peace, ninth brother.”
Cole tightened his fingers, slowly and resolutely. His eyes were cool and the corners of lips curled upwards. Lea’s suffocating face was such a pleasing sight to him.
Cole felt a sudden pain in his chest. He stared in disbelief at the sharp claws stabbing into his chest. Without thinking, he instinctively flung Lea aside.
Lea rolled a distance away. He landed in a firm seated position on the ground and did not collapse in a wretched heap.
Looking at the blood on his own hands, Lea smiled enchantingly. He waved his tail. “Long time no see, my dear second brother.”
“You…?!” Cole was momentarily stunned, but quickly recomposed himself. He chuckled. “You found a remedy for my potion?”
Lea sneered as if he had just heard the most ridiculous thing in the world. “Using a potion on a witch doctor—you think too highly of yourself.”
Cole narrowed his eyes. Disregarding the wound on his chest, he laughed coldly. “It doesn’t matter. So what if you counteracted my potion? You are just a third-level beast while I am an elite fifth-level. Everything will end the moment I kill you and replace you.”
Lea raised his eyebrows with a chilly, “Oh?” He then said, “Do you not feel regret after failing to witness Mengmeng personally killing me?”
Cole gave a low laugh. “I thought that Ah Gu would definitely kill you in a rage after she sees you killing Burke and harming those four little ones and Elvis. Indeed, I had looked forward to watching you die at the hands of your most beloved female. But a pity that Ah Gu seems to really like you. She did not even scold you after you committed such grievous offenses. That is why I changed my mind. Killing you is such a small matter… I can do it personally.”
With that, Cole charged viciously at Lea, bringing along a sharp and malevolent killing aura.
The sense of oppression a higher level had on a lower level was absolute. Although Cole had lost his tail and one arm, he had already adapted to it and could attack with ease. As a result, as Cole launched himself at Lea, Lea felt a massive pressure on his heart, as if it was going to explode any time.
His instincts were trying to make him kneel down in submission, but another reason gave him the ability to fight back.
With resolution and savageness in his slanted eyes, Lea smacked the ground heavily with his palms and leaped up with vicious force…
