“Give it to me.” Cole reached out an upturned palm towards Gu Mengmeng.

Gu Mengmeng glanced askance at Cole, with traces of guardedness and disdain.

Cole chuckled. “Are you afraid that I will use the Kiss of the Ocean of activate the Beast King bloodline, which will place Elvis and Lea in danger in the future?”

Gu Mengmeng raised one brow and intoned: This Cole really knows a thing or two. Even a witch doctor like Lea doesn’t know that the seven treasures can be used to activate the Beast King bloodline, but Cole is well aware of that.

Cole maintained just the right amount of pleasantness in his expression—not too intimate nor too distant, but well within a range where Gu Mengmeng could find no reason to be angry at, and at the same time couldn’t overlook. “After all, I was the leader of Sauder for over ten years. It’s not surprising that I know of something like that.”

Cole took a deep breath and shook his head. “I have been at the fifth-level for more than a decade. With my powers, I should be able to control the Kiss of the Ocean. If I really wanted to use it to activate the Beast King bloodline, would you be willing to give it to me?”

Gu Mengmeng remained silent for a moment before giving a faint smile. “I will give it to you, why not? That was our part of our deal. I will gather the items for you and you will return my son to me. As to what you plan to do with the items, that is your own business. It has nothing to do with me.”

Cole pressed close to Gu Mengmeng, and stared teasingly into her eyes. “Are you not worried that after I become the Beast King, I will kill off your partners?”

Gu Mengmeng lifted her head and met Cole’s eyes straight on with a harsh glare of her own. “Don’t forget that I am also a Beast King. Unless I die, no one can hurt my partners.”

Cole straightened his spine, widening the distance between Gu Mengmeng and himself. A faint smile played upon his lips. “So you don’t need to worry then. The Kiss of the Ocean is not for my own use. After all, if my opponent is you… I will be powerless against you.”

Gu Mengmeng turned up her nose at Cole’s statement. She had no intention of giving any sort of response.

Cole continued. “You would have realized that the Kiss of the Ocean can be used to suck out poisons from a body. It was effective on you, it will also be effective on Chixuan. So I am going to use this treasure on Chixuan.”

Gu Mengmeng was stunned. How did he know the Kiss of the Ocean was effective on her?

Could it be that Cole even knew of that entanglement between Elvis and her in Saint Nazaire? Wouldn’t that be too preposterous? After all, only Elvis and Gu Mengmeng were present then. And she did not believe that Elvis would share such a thing with Cole.

Cole looked knowingly at the doubt in Gu Mengmeng’s eyes, but didn’t clarify things. He just smiled. “Can you give it to me now? With that, I believe Little Xuan will recover faster.”

Gu Mengmeng turned away from Cole and gazed at Chixuan, to find that Dylan had already complete the basic treatments.

Dylan stood before Gu Mengmeng and bowed again. “I have treated Young Master Chixuan’s injuries. For now, the only thing left is for him to rest quietly and avoid strenuous activity. He cannot suffer any further injuries… oh, and he must be kept calm as much as possible. Only then will he be able to recover faster. I will take my leave now.”

Without waiting for Gu Mengmeng to respond, Dylan departed with a steady gait.
