Chapter 963: You Can Die In Peace

Gu Mengmeng chuckled and held her cheek with one hand. She answered with a question of her own, “Are you in a position to talk terms with me?”

Yes, he was in no position to talk terms with Gu Mengmeng at all.

Zacharias took in some of the former members of the tribe that attacked the Snake King valley. Wabei was the Snake King valley’s new leader and a stray beast that was not bound by any rules. Even if he decided to destroy Zacharias today, it would be just a matter of course.

Moreover, in the Beast World, only the powerful had rights.

Even if Wabei had no right or reason, and just felt like destroying Zacharias on a whim, who would dare to accuse him of anything?

Clenching his fists, Leonard put on a resolute front. “If the Great Messenger doesn’t agree, then I would rather have the entire Zacharias tribe destroyed than tell you the whereabouts of the Soul of the Forest.”

Gu Mengmeng pouted. “And I thought you were a good tribe leader. So you are just a selfish ruler who puts his own personal interests over the lives of his own people. Ha, it’s every man for himself in this world after all. But I am very sensitive towards receiving threats, and am very unhappy at the way you have raised your request.”

Before Gu Mengmeng even completed her sentence, Peter had already grabbed Dora by the neck.

The speed of this fifth-level beast was such that her second-level beasts escorts did not even see how he appeared amongst them. Even the fourth-level Leonard could not react in time.

Looking at Dora turning red from suffocation, Leonard clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. “Dora, don’t be afraid. I will come over to you after I settle my tribesmen.”

Did he mean… you can die in peace?

Gu Mengmeng raised one brow and stared at Leonard as if he was a heartless jerk.

Since coming to the Beast World, all the males she had met treated their females as the most precious thing to them.

So if someone was to grab her neck, both Elvis and Lea wouldn’t bat an eyelid if they had to personally butcher the entire Saint Nazaire to ensure her safety. Even if they had to kill themselves, as long as she could be safe, they were more than willing to sacrifice themselves.

Snakel was a prime example. Just so she would not suffer the agonies of the venom and to preserve her legs, he actually opened up his own chest and carved out his gallbladder for her.

But Leonard…

His eyes were totally bloodshot, so it was clear he was very much concerned.

Ha, he could endure a pain that no common man could.

Gu Mengmeng shot Peter a look and he loosened his grip on Dora’s neck. Just a little so that she could breathe.

“Leonard…” Dora whimpered.

Leonard didn’t dare to make any false moves. He was afraid of triggering Peter who might just snap off Dora’s neck. He could only turn to look at Gu Mengmeng. “Great Messenger, no matter what, Dora is a precious female. Please don’t hurt her. I promised you the Soul of the Forest in return for your pardon, so it is my fault for tagging on some conditions at the last minute. You can vent your displeasure on me.”

Gu Mengmeng chuckled. “Leonard, I respect that you are a true man. I will give you one chance. Tell me what are your terms?”

The veins on Leonard’s arms were nearly popping out. Gu Mengmeng knew he must really want to fight Peter to save Dora. But he knew that it would be a futile gesture on his part, and so he endured.
