Elvis sat behind Gu Mengmeng and gently drew her into his arms. He kissed her hair and said in a voice that was hoarse from fatigue. “When we were at the stray beast camp, Cole led the stray beasts in a surprise attack on Saint Nazaire.”
“What?!” Gu Mengmeng instantly straightened and turned to look at Elvis. “What’s the casualty situation like?”
Elvis shook his head and drew her back into his embrace again. “They were not out for a battle or a murder spree. So only a few members who happened to get in their way were embroiled in a fight. But strangely, they didn’t attack seriously. They just ducked down and escaped. So no one died, and those who were injured have already been treated by Lea. They will fully recover after a few days.”
Striking and escaping?
This was totally unlike the way stray beasts did things.
Weren’t they all always fighting to the death?
If the sneak attack was not for a murder spree, then it must have been to steal something?
But what was in the tribe that could be worth stealing?
Gu Mengmeng frowned as her entire body instinctively tensed.
“Someone… they came to kidnap someone.” Gu Mengmeng clenched her knuckles. Her voice trembled with rage. “The tribe… who is missing?”
Elvis sighed. He really wished Gu Mengmeng could be a little less perceptive. But her present self was just too sharp.
A sharpness that made one’s heart ache.
“Hede, his three brothers and Sandy have all gone missing.” Elvis’ voice was full of helplessness. If he could, he didn’t wish to tell Gu Mengmeng about this incident. But he had already promised never to hide anything from her again.
Gu Mengmeng went weak and leaned against Elvis’ chest. She gritted her teeth and said, “As expected… it seems like Cole is really leaving me no choice but to head over to Sauder.”
“Ian has already flown over to Sauder to investigate the situation. We will wait for his return before deciding, alright?” Elvis did not want Gu Mengmeng to act rashly. Especially since the opponent had clearly set a trap, and was just waiting for her to leap in.
Gu Mengmeng nodded and remained unmoving in Elvis’ arms. “I know. You and Lea must have spent the last two days coming up with strategies to counter right? I will not behave rashly again. Acting on impulse… will only make things worse.”
“Mmm.” Elvis finally relaxed. He was really worried that for the sake of those few wolf pups, Gu Mengmeng would just rush over recklessly to fight Cole,to the death. On hearing that she could think so rationally, Elvis’ heart was set at ease. On the other hand, his heart still ached for her.
Other females could behave unreasonably, why did his female have no choice but to be so sensible?
In the end, it was because he was too weak. He was unable to accommodate her limitless power.
He had said he would give her the best of everything, but in the end, she was forced to mature quickly and act sensibly…
“I am sorry.” Elvis’ was full of guilt and hugged Gu Mengmeng even tighter. In a low voice, he whispered gently in Gu Mengmeng’s ear. “Lea and I will definitely settle this matter. Don’t worry, leave it to us.”
Gu Mengmeng nodded. “Mmm, I know. I believe in you two.”
“Thank you for still believing in me.” Elvis took a deep breath, greedily inhaling Gu Mengmeng’s scent. It was as only the mild fragrance of her body could soothe the challenging hardships he would face over the next few days. “I will definitely bring those wolf pups back to you. I will…”
