“If he had guarded Sauder in a well-behaved manner, I would not kill him no matter how you oppose me. Look at Chixuan, he’s the best example. No matter how that little wolf is so audacious in front of him, didn’t I still let him live? Only you would foolishly think that I had left him alone to threaten you… Ah Gu, don’t you know yourself? You have so many weaknesses all over you that it’s too easy for me to threaten you. I won’t be restricted to just Chixuan. Even if he was dead, there are still Hede, Jialue and Kanwu. Wouldn’t you give up on none of them?” Cole staggered as he tried to prop his body up to lean against the wall. He looked up at Gu Mengmeng, with a smile still on his face. Taking a deep breath, he pursed his lips and forced himself to swallow the blood that was rising up his throat.
His brows were frowning and his forehead was covered in sweat but his lips were still rising.
He had to smile, he must smile.
He was already so pathetic in her eyes. The only thing he had left to show her was this smile.
“You treated Oakley as a friend, but what about him? He had pushed you to a dangerous situation without any hesitation for his own goal… I cannot let a person who could backstab you anytime to stay by your side, so even if you would hate me because of it, I cannot let him live on.”
Cole supported himself using the wall and slowly stood up.
The Beast King, Cole, who could control the world easily, was so pathetic and weak at this moment, and could not even stand up if he had not supported himself using the wall.
When he coughed, blood leaked from his tightly shut lips uncontrollably. He turned his head slightly and secretly wiped away the blood, then he turned to look at Gu Mengmeng and continued saying, “Ah Gu, I told you before that we are the same kind of person. I will definitely not allow anyone who would threaten the safety of people we care about to exist. When you killed Nina that time… wasn’t it because of the same reason?”
Nina – that was a name that had not appeared for a long time.
No matter how she had agitated her and annoyed her, Gu Mengmeng had endured it all.
Until afterwards, she hurt Sandy.
Even though it was not Gu Mengmeng who had personally killed her, she had instructed Lea to do it.
Because of an order she gave, Nina and her family of 46 males had all died.
She did not allow Nina, who could harm Sandy, to live, and Cole would not allow Oakley, who would betray her, to live.
Gu Mengmeng took a step back unsteadily and her eyes darkened.
So she was actually the same kind of person as Cole?
Cole stood steadily and looked at her with resolute, saying, Ah Gu, I don’t deny killing Oakley. If you want to avenge on behalf of him, I will stand here for you to take my life. But let me tell you, even if time turns back, I will still kill him, without any hesitation, without any mercy and without any regrets.”
Gu Mengmeng tightened her fist and swung her arms, leaving behind a sentence, “There’s no next time.”
Cole did not promise to not harm people she cared about because he still had to keep his bottom line of not lying to her.
If there was someone around her who would betray her again, be it Elvis, Lea or the four little ones, he would use all sorts of means to eradicate anyone who dared to hurt her.
With one hand holding the wall and the other hand holding his chest, Cole looked at Gu Mengmeng’s determined back view and said, “Ah Gu, we did not do anything wrong. We are just protecting people we care about. Unless a man looks out for himself, he would be destroyed by nature. In this cruel world, you are either the hunter or prey and it is just part of nature for the strong to feed on the weak.”
