Chixuan leaned against the edge of the table in the meeting room and with his arms crossed, he said, “my mother is beautiful all the time, but… I saw her crying once and I cannot stand the sight of it, so I don’t intend to see it the second time.”

Chixuan laughed, as though he could not do anything about his mother. Anyone who heard him would not be able to tell whether he was talking about his mother or daughter. He rubbed his head and said, “you should leave your daughter for yourself, I don’t want to be dirty.”

“We shall see,” Cole sneered.

In the past, he had been too soft on this brat Chixuan as he thought that he had Chixuan totally within his control, who would have expected that he would be stunned just by Ah Gu’s crying…

Just like how heartless he had been towards Ah Gu in the past, she is as heartless now.

Tsk, she was really like her son in terms of heartlessness.

Once Ah Gu set out to look for the Heart of the Desert, Chixuan used his identity as the young master of the stray beast to command the stray beasts to capture the female beasts from Saint Nazaire.

It was nothing new for the stray beasts to capture female beasts but seeing that they had to go to Saint Nazaire, they thought that Chixuan was in love with one of them but was unwilling to share or that the other party did not agree, so he could only resort to capture.

Even though Cole had commanded them to not do anything to the three tribes Saint Nazaire, Sauder and Zacharias, as well as the 16 tribes newly claimed by Sauder, but capturing a partner for their messenger’s son could only be considered as a family affair, right?

Thinking about how much Cole doted on Chixuan and their messenger’s love for Chixuan, the stray beasts felt that capturing a female beast would offend neither party, so they thought of it only as pacifying their young master and captured the female beast from Saint Nazaire without any hesitation.

But who knew that upon reaching Saint Nazaire, the entire tribe only had one female beast around, whereas the 16 valued females well-known for their beauty were not to be seen anywhere. Without a choice, they could only capture that half-beast.

When Chixuan saw the captured female beast, he covered her with a sack and carried her away.

At the same time, Cole was preparing a truck full of hunted prey for ‘delivery’ at Fedaton City, and also to meet Gu Mengmeng by chance. On his way there, he was stopped by the news that he received from his spies in different tribes.

Saint Nazaire was attacked by stray beasts and all the females in the tribe were captured.

Sauder was attacked by stray beasts, with Hede and Jialue gone missing.

Zacharias was attacked by stray beasts, with Chixuan heavily injured and almost dying.

When Cole received these three pieces of news, he was stunned. Why would the stray beasts do something like this? The fact that it occurred simultaneously indicated that it was someone’s scheme.

Who would do this to foil his plans? Lea? It must be Lea!

Cole used the shortest amount of time to calm down and analyse. He realised that the three events could not possibly all be true, Lea would not do anything this meaningless…

Saint Nazaire’s captured females, missing Hede and Jialue, as well as heavily injured Chixuan…

Chixuan!

Cole only used a second before he confirmed that Lea’s target was Chixuan. The rationale was simple. Cole had always been using Chixuan to threaten Gu Mengmeng so that she would not dare act impulsively and always gave in to him. In order to overturn the situation, the simplest way was to kill Chixuan. If Chixuan was dead, he would no longer have any hostage to threaten Gu Mengmeng with.

Moreover, ha, Ah Gu would definitely put the blame of the stray beasts’ actions on him, right?

He was not afraid of being hated by Gu Mengmeng, but he did not want to be accused wrongly for something he did not do!

Almost without any hesitation, he immediately rushed to Zacharias. In the end, what did he see? Ha, Chixuan was unscathed in front of him with a beast sack over his shoulders and he said, “I heard that you care a lot about me, seems like it’s true.”
