Chapter 815: Knowledge Through Experience

Without giving Peter any chance to object, Gu Mengmeng continued. “If I guessed correctly, when Cole brought the surviving stray beasts home, he also brought a piece of news back to Natalie. That Elvis is already a fifth-level beast with a powerful companion—the Messenger of the Beast Deity who had also inherited all the powers of that Snake King valley’s Beast King. One just had to look at all those who were heavily injured by the tremendous beast pressure for proof of that. Ha, Cole is really resourceful and devious. He must squeeze every bit of opportunity and advantage dry.”

Peter was not as intelligent as Lea and was not like Gu Mengmeng—a traveler from another dimension who had the knowledge from the experience of watching so many television series. But as long as it concerned Natalie, there was nothing he could not understand.

After all, he had spent his entire life studying that one person.

Natalie had not fussed all those years, quiet like a soulless doll. She clearly did not care for anything in the world, but persevered in living on. All so she could watch over Peter and ensure that he kept his promise to her, not to go and harm her one remaining son.

But then Cole had told her that her son was now powerful beyond belief, and that he had the almighty Gu Mengmeng as his partner. Peter no longer had the ability to be of any threat to him. Peter would never be able to hurt Elvis any more...

It was as good as telling Natalie that you can go and die now. There was no longer any reason for you to live on in such sufferance.

Peter clenched his fists as his face twisted heinously. If Cole was standing right before him, even though they were both fifth-level beasts, he would have fought him to the death.

No wonder Natalie, who had never expressed interest in anything, had suddenly said she wanted to go out for a walk that day. He had still foolishly thought that Cole really managed to convince her to start accepting him, to open her heart.

When in reality, she was just going out to confirm if Cole’s words were true.

When in reality, she was just... abandoning him once again.

The only difference was that she was being even more cruel than the previous time. She was planning to end her own life in order to abandon him.

Even so, he still could not bear it...

“You have a way to save her, right?” Peter asked Gu Mengmeng.

He was asking her even though he was already sure of her answer.

Since Gu Mengmeng had already guessed it all, then there was only one reason why she had forced him to reveal that it was Cole: She could save Natalie, but he needed to pay the price. Telling them about Cole was just forcing him to show his sincerity.

“As long as you can save Natalie, I will agree to any condition, any price.”

“Including allowing her to leave you?” Gu Mengmeng asked casually.

Peter gripped his fists so tightly that his bones were nearly crushed to bits. Gritting his teeth, his eyes were shot through with red, as if pierced by sharp knives. He forced out his words through tightly clenched jaws. “If that is the only way for her to get better, I am willing to let her go.”

Gu Mengmeng chuckled but shook her head. “I hate you, but torturing someone is not my cup of tea. I will save Natalie and let you two stay together. But you must be clear on one point, I am doing this only because in the whole world, there is no one else who holds her in higher regard than you. However... you must be prepared that she would probably hate you all over again.”
