Gu Mengmeng took Chixuan over from Sandy and held him for a long while before kissing his tiny head. Her eyes dimmed. “If he can save my son, I don’t care what kind of person he is.”

Sandy didn’t say another word but just held onto Gu Mengmeng’s hand and stroked Chixuan’s head.

This kid had become very skinny as of late. If he continued to starve… he would probably not live for long.

Gu Mengmeng personally handed the child over to Cole. The top of her head only reached Cole’s chest and she needed to look up to speak to him.

“If anything happens to my son, I will make sure you regret it for the rest of your life.”

Cole took Chixuan into his arms with practiced ease. He tilted his head with a light smile. With a doting look and indulgent tone, he promised. “Don’t worry, I will treat him as lovingly as if he is my own son.”

Gu Mengmeng knew Cole was taking advantage of her but she had no choice. She gave a cold laugh. “Your own son? Elvis would never have poisoned his own son.”

Cole leaned over beside Gu Mengmeng’s ear. “That is because you didn’t leave him. Otherwise… he can be even more vicious than me, just to keep you by his side.”

Gu Mengmeng laid one hand over Cole’s shoulder. Exerting just a bit of strength, the sound of bones breaking could be heard.

Lifting her head, Gu Mengmeng gave an exceptionally bright smile. “Don’t compare yourself with my partner. Hearing that will upset me.”

Sweat beaded across Cole’s forehead, but his smile deepened. “I will remember that. My status here is unique from my mistress’ other partners. I will not compare myself to the rest of them again.”

Gu Mengmeng no longer wished to continue talking to Cole and returned to Elvis’ arms. She closed her eyes. “Auretin, see our guest out.”

Auretin stood expressionlessly before Cole. He did not say a word but just stared at Cole with a frosty gaze.

It was an undeniable fact that a higher level beast could make a lower level beast feel totally suppressed.

But faced with a stray beast, no matter how high his level was, there would not be any shrinking or fear. One would only feel anger and animosity.

Cole had no intention of creating a scene. He ducked away from Auretin to nod at Gu Mengmeng, before leaving with Chixuan in his arms.

He had carved out a large piece of land right outside Saint Nazaire, which meant he had effectively taken over a piece of someone else’s territory. This was a very severe matter but the owner of that land felt he could not afford to offend Cole. As a result, he swallowed his pride and closed one eye to this humiliating situation.

Cole dug a square-shaped cave, which looked a bit like the stone houses at Sauder. It was a simple structure but constructed very well.

Cole fed Chixuan a pill before laying him across his own knee and stroking his back. Sounding as if he was talking to himself, Cole said, “You must live and grow well. So that when she wants to see you… she has no choice but to seek me out. Heh, if you can really help to reunite us, I will teach you how to become the ruler of the whole world. How about that? In the future, when she and I have dominated the world, you will be our heir. You will be our one and only beloved son. All our power and privileges will be passed onto you. How about that? My son…”

Chixuan’s eyelids fluttered and his tiny nose sniffled. He then gradually opened his eyes.
