A Late Night Chat

Elvis clenched his fists and lowered his hand.

He…

Did not dare to ask.

He was afraid of putting Xiao Meng in a tight spot. He was afraid of Xiao Meng admitting it, but also afraid of her denying it.

He was even more afraid of Xiao Meng, as intelligent as she was seeing through him. That she would realize he had fought so hard to become a Beast King just so that he could use his own life to save hers if she met with any danger.

He did not wish to be so helpless again when her life was at risk.

But this was a purely selfish decision.

Death was easy. The one being forced to live on was the one who would be tormented.

Didn't Snake's death already prove this once?

Lea was right. Using his own life to save Gu Mengmeng would make him a hero, while Lea would be left behind to comfort Gu Mengmeng and endure the pain of witnessing her suffering.

Ha, he was not afraid of death, but was afraid of Gu Mengmeng's frowns.
