Chapter 962: Should We Destroy Them?

One look from Leonard sent Nick scrambling to get some men to clear away the crumbled wooden structure.

Lea behaved as if nothing had happened and hooked Gu Mengmeng’s chin with an artful smile. He didn’t say anything.

Gu Mengmeng knew he did all that as he didn’t want to see her in a bad mood because of the wooden pagoda. So she just gave a light laugh. “This is still the territory of others. Behave yourselves.”

Lea didn’t answer but just looked at Elvis.

Elvis said in a low voice, “Half a day. He overstated the time needed.”

“Mmm?” Gu Mengmeng stared at Elvis in confusion.

Lea patiently explained, “To destroy Zacharias and turn this into ‘our place’…if it was only Elvis and I, we would indeed need half a day. But with the addition of him… haha…”

Lea pointed at Wabei, who tilted his head casually at Gu Mengmeng. “Should we destroy them?”

Gu Mengmeng was sure that if she just nodded or gave a slight smile, Wabei would have charged forward like a herd of wild horses and cleaned out the entire Zacharias. He just had to sweep his entire mass around the territory twice and everything would be flattened to bits… nothing would be left behind.

Making a ‘hold on’ gesture, Gu Mengmeng said, “Calm down. Let’s all calm down.”

Wabei looked disappointed. “We can’t fight? Tsk… so boring.”

Gu Mengmeng exhaled before looking at Lea. “We have come on official business.”

Lea waved. “Expanding our tribe’s territories is also an official business.”

Gu Mengmeng held her cheek. She was really not used to the Beast World’s mentality of just snatching over whatever one wanted.

So as to stop them from coming up with more wicked ideas, Gu Mengmeng clapped her hands together and addressed Leonard directly. “Apologies, my males are rather bad-tempered so you better get straight to the point. Where is the Soul of the Forest? We will set off the moment you tell us, in case they can’t hold it in any longer and destroy your entire tribe.”

Leonard wanted to retort that Zacharias was a powerful tribe and not so easily defeated. But his earlier fight with Lea clearly showed how much he had underestimated them.

Lea was the weakest in the entire team. He was clearly the same level as Leonard but had played Leonard like a complete fool.

Peter was the leader of the stray beasts and the fifth-level beasts in Zacharias had exchanges blows with him multiple times. In the best cases, they had returned with serious injuries.

Elvis had always been an infamously powerful and savage fighter. When he still a fourth-level beast, he had led his own tribesmen against three fifth-level beasts from Sauder. Not only did Elvis completely defeat them, two of the fifth-level beasts had died and the remaining one left a cripple.

And that Wabei…

He was a legendary figure connected to Snakel. No one knew just how powerful he was.

Leonard only knew that just meeting Wabei’s eyes turned his own legs to jelly. As much as he tried to pretend to be calm, his cool facade could fool others but could not fool himself.

And the most powerful of them all was not any one of those perverse males. It was that smiling little female nestled in Elvis’ arms.

An unfathomable depth which was the most terrifying.

Terrifying, truly terrifying.

But he had a reason not to give in.

Taking one step forward, Leonard faced Gu Mengmeng. “The previous Messenger of the Beast Deity had entrusted the Soul of the Forest to Zacharias for protection. It is the reason behind Zacharias’ existence. So before I can pass it over to you, I hope that you can promise me three things.”
