“No, on the contrary.” Cole maintained his smile, which held traces of elegance but a huge dose of cunning and malevolence. It was as if he was brimming with a confidence that everything was proceeding according to his plan. “It is precisely because I dare not underestimate Ah Gu, that I planted a death knot on the bewitching spell cast on Sandy. Only I can lift the spell. Anyone else who tries to undo the spell will trigger it and Sandy will die a sudden death. It doesn’t matter how powerful the practitioner is.”
Stunned, Gu Mengmeng frowned as her heart gave a heavy jolt.
Thank goodness she didn’t immediately rush over to hypnotize Sandy, and had just spun some lies to coax her.
Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
At this point, Gu Mengmeng eyed Cole with even more hatred and disgust. “How can I be sure you are not deceiving me?”
Cole seemed to be pondering this question too. But then he suddenly smiled. “When have I ever lied to the Great Messenger?”
When the wolf pup was kidnapped, she had been the one who had actively sought his help.
He said it was Ellie and a fifth-level beast who kidnapped the wolf pup, but never denied that the fifth-level beast was himself.
His chest wound was indeed caused by Ellie’s bite, while it was also true that the wolf pup was brought back to the Snake King valley.
He had slowly lured her into his trap, but had never told her an outright lie.
Ha, such irony?
He was a despicable piece of garbage much despised by Gu Mengmeng, but still possessed a certain streak of “honesty”.
“You went through so much trouble to carry out this scheme on Sandy, just so you can be Lea for a day?” Gu Mengmeng just felt this was very peculiar, no?
Cole nodded. “I am just curious, how did that useless weakling manage to escape my restraints? I also want to experience what else is left in life after setting aside your grievances.”
Gu Mengmeng clenched her fists. Lea had told her before that Cole delighted not in the killing but in the torture of others.
She suddenly felt that Jialue’s words were too true. A normal person would never win a crazy one.
He would drag you into the bizarre maze of his mind and then use his vast experience to defeat you.
After all, he was truly insane, while you are still sensible and have your limits.
Gu Mengmeng leaned into Elvis’ arms. “If you really want to know, why don’t you try setting aside your own grievances. No matter how much you try to imitate Lea, you are not him. Even if you spend your entire life imitating him , you will never know what he has.”
“Who knows?” Cole chuckled. “I just want to try. Great Messenger, are you willing to enter this deal with me? I just want to be Lea for a day. I will return Sandy completely to you tomorrow.”
Gu Mengmeng laughed. “Ha, but Lea will never make me wait for something I want. If it was Lea, he will never make me worry for Sandy. As long as he is able, he will immediately break the bewitching spell on Sandy. But you… are you able to do that for me?”
At Gu Mengmeng’s words, realization seemed to dawn on Cole. He smiled at her dotingly. “For Ah Gu, I can do anything.”
With that, Cole stood up and went over to Gu Mengmeng. He reached out to hold her hand but was blocked by Elvis, who asked coldly, “Do you wish to die?”
Cole instinctively wanted to attack Elvis, but was met with Gu Mengmeng’s “see, you are completely unable to pretend to be Lea” expression. Consequently, Cole forced himself to retract his sharp claws.
