“Seems like you really like wooden combs.” Cole smiled, then reached for a silver briefcase with a passcode on it from beside him, then opened it in front of everyone. He then turned to face all of them, “This was the wooden comb I mentioned in the video. As long as you are willing to battle, you can take it now.”
“Aren’t you afraid we will go back on our words and run away with this?” Gu Mengmeng asked while smiling faintly.
Cole suppressed his laughter. When he looked up at Gu Mengmeng, he had an unexplainable gentleness, with a loving tone even he himself found strange, “He wouldn’t.”
“Oh?” Gu Mengmeng continued smiling while looking at Cole, as if she was waiting for his explanation.
Cole was rather excited, he was not sure regarding what either, but he only felt that the ability for him to calmly speak some unimportant words to the girl before him, was like something he had been dreaming about his whole life.
He was unwilling to further explain to others whom he felt impatient towards their stupidity, but today it was as if he had unlimited patience, and was willing to explain every little detail, word by word, to this girl.
All he wanted was for her to sit in front of him smiling like this, just for one more second.
“He wants the wooden comb, I want to fight him. To him, fighting is an easy thing, while looking for more, better, and even more special combs are also just as easy to me. If we can provide what each other needs the most, would that not be the best method of cooperation? The can leave with the wooden comb, I cannot beat any of them, anyway. However, it does not seem like it would be a wise decision if he were to miss out on more, better opportunities in the future, for one wooden comb.”
Cole spoke as he raised his head, looking away from Elvis and stopping at Lea’s face, smiling, “What do you say?”
Lea hung a warm and respectful smile on his face, which was his only expression to anyone other than Gu Mengmeng.
He did not reply to Cole’s question, because he knew that as the first partner in the family, only Elvis had a say, other than Gu Mengmeng.
The rules of the family shall not be messed with, no matter whether he was a Beast King now or under any other identity.
Even if he did not obey rules like Snake, he merely wanted to snatch the position of the first partner from Elvis on the surface, but did not do any practical actions to fulfill those wishes.
After all, unless Elvis was killed, no one could snatch away the title of the first partner.
It was another matter regarding whether they had the ability to kill him, when they consider how powerful Elvis is today.
Just the fact that they would never do anything to hurt Mengmeng, destined that no one would really eye the first partner position of Elvis’.
Since his position was stable, then for the harmony of the family and ease of mind for Mengmeng, naturally they would not disturb something like the positioning in the family.
It was one thing to fool around with one another.
However, when they were dealing with serious things, they abide by the rules of the Beast World.
No one could comment nor disobey the first partner.
Lea ignored Cole, but Cole did not feel awkward, only looking back at Gu Mengmeng. There was no reason, he just knew that even though the four males each looked like they were big characters, but the only real one who could make a choice in this situation, was the soft, weak looking lady before him.
She was the key to unlocking everything.
