Chapter 1665: Boss Behind The Scenes
Actually, the reason why they came to this town was not for sightseeing.
It was because Elvis had eyed the “reward offer” from the boss behind the scenes, hence decided to attend one of his underground dark fists.
So, Gu Mengmeng brought her whole family to accompany Elvis to meet the underground boss.
They originally thought that when they were to meet someone like that, they would arrange to meet in somewhere like an office building, but they did not expect the other party to suggest a meeting at a dock in a town further away.
When they arrived at the destination, Gu Mengmeng felt momentarily dazed.
Not because of anything else, but because it did not even take a second glance for her to recognize the Boss behind the scenes.
Frowning, Gu Mengmeng sat on her little boat, not moving.
Meanwhile, her males immediately looked over at where she was looking when they saw her frowning. As they made eye contact with the person sitting there, their murderous auras were instantly exuded without any concealing.
“Cole.” Lea was the first to murmur.
It was considered that he and Elvis, once died under Cole’s hands. However, it has been over a thousand years, that hatred has been long dispersed with the river of time, they have let bygones be bygones.
Even so, no matter how long it has been anyone who made Gu Mengmeng frown deserved to die.
This was something that the four males in the family did not have to discuss to agree on.
Gu Mengmeng noticed a difference in atmosphere, and understood that her momentary trance had given her men the wrong signal, so she adjusted her expression, “Don’t be like this, I am not angry.”
After being the Beast Deity, Gu Mengmeng’s mental condition has stabilized much more.
The issues she was not able to think and see through had instantly cleared up.
The idiom the onlooker sees clearer than the person baffled on the spot, represented exactly what went on.
As Chixuan once said, Cole was a strategist, and often set traps to get her involved. However, on deeper thought, on which occasion had she not been the one who had the most advantage, eventually?
It just so happened that she did not like him, so everything he did was evil, filthy and unforgivable in her eyes.
Even, at the end, in order to protect and fulfill her wishes to gain the Spirit of the Rocky Cliffs, he forced her to kill him herself, allowing him to sink into his greatest despair, his most painful state.
With the pa.s.sing time, the hatred in her heart had long dissipated and could no longer be found.
If it were not for the meeting today, Gu Mengmeng thought, Cole’s biggest fear was about to happen.
After all, what that person pleaded for, was merely “I rather you hate me than forget me”.
And today, she had forgotten about him completely.
Having taken in a deep breath, Gu Mengmeng walked to the dock first, sitting before Cole.
Cole tilted his head, looking at Gu Mengmeng. He stayed silent for a long while before slowly speaking, but in local Mandarin, “I think, I should know you, right?”
The edges of Gu Mengmeng’s lips lifted, smiling.
That had not met for many years, so Gu Mengmeng once thought Cole had died completely. She did not expect that his longing memory of her actually allowed him to travel through the cracks of the environment, into her world.
It was a pity that they were just not fated for each other.
So even if they were in the same world, he could not meet nor remember her.
“Perhaps.” Gu Mengmeng never once thought that she could so calmly sit before the man who she once vehemently hated, “You searched for my man high and low all over the world, so we definitely have to get to know each other.”
It was then that Cole s.h.i.+fted his gaze backwards, scanning the four impressive-looking, unrivaled males behind Gu Mengmeng. His gaze finally landed on Elvis, before smiling faintly.
