Gu Mengmeng still felt a pang of anxiety when she saw that face. After all, this was the first time she was meeting her father-in-law.
“Great Messenger.” Elvis’ father spoke first. He bowed to Gu Mengmeng.
Gu Mengmeng felt rather awkward. With her arms circled around Elvis’ neck, she let him jump down with her in his embrace.
She was just about to say something to Elvis’ father when Elvis spoke up first. “Ha, you dare to come here all alone. You must have really gotten foolish with age?”
Gu Mengmeng was shocked, but didn’t know what to say.
16 years old…
Was Elvis going through his rebellious stage now?
“It seems like the wound on your shoulder is not enough to make you understand the gap between you and me, is it?”
Gu Mengmeng frowned. So Elvis’ method of raising Kanwu was learned from his father? Was his family all along so harsh?
Elvis handed Gu Mengmeng over to Lea before walking towards his father. He stopped three paces away from him and they entered into a staring match. Gu Mengmeng could nearly see the sparks going off between them.
“For a male to get a female, it is as good as taking on some reservations and vulnerabilities. My idiot son, you are still trapped by this nonsense. You have really failed all my high expectations of you.”
Elvis smirked as he cracked his neck. This little movement indicated he was prepared to attack. Gu Mengmeng knew that the moment he did that, it meant his subsequent attack would be vicious and relentless.
Towards his own father… did he need to be so vicious?
Gu Mengmeng was worried something bad might happen and called out. “Hubby, stop it.”
Elvis’ spine stiffened, but still dutifully returned to Gu Mengmeng’s side.
His father kept quiet, with just a scornful smile on his face.
The sarcasm and arrogance conveyed by that smile made one feel an indescribable sense of discomfort.
Gu Mengmeng didn’t like this father-in-law. He might look like Elvis but she still didn’t like him.
Faced with that conflict, her tone was naturally not very friendly. She said coldly, “I respect the fact that you are Elvis’ father, so I don’t intend to treat you like an enemy. But I really don’t like my man to be bullied by others. So please stop. If you are looking for me for something, please speak quickly and leave after. Because my man clearly doesn’t wish to see you.”
Elvis’ father stepped forward and sized her up. He wasn’t looking at her like a daughter-in-law, but rather… like looking at food.
Gu Mengmeng didn’t like his look but didn’t wish to kick up a fuss.
He wanted to eat her? She was afraid that his teeth were not good enough and cannot bite down hard enough.
“I want the Kiss of the Ocean. Give it to me and I will leave.”
“No way. I have my own uses for this item.” Gu Mengmeng rejected with conviction.
Elvis’ father looked like he had guessed Gu Mengmeng would not assent readily. He rotated his shoulders to loosen the muscles and said, “In that case, I have no choice but to snatch it with my own hands.”
He gazed at Elvis with malevolent and murderous eyes. “I heard that he is your first partner, so I will start by killing him. Just give me a shout when you change your mind and am willing to hand over the Kiss of the Ocean. If you do so in time… perhaps he might still live.”
Before Gu Mengmeng could speak, Elvis and his father were already embroiled in battle.
