Chapter 979: No One Can Stop A Fool From Seeking Death

“Has the poison from the white mist been activated again?” Gu Mengmeng asked doubtfully.
Lea shook his head as he used his body to shield Gu Mengmeng from the front. He turned his head slightly to glance at her. “Don’t you think his expression looks rather familiar?”
Gu Mengmeng frowned, indicating that she did not have any impression of it.
Lea sighed softly. “Oh yes, Cole is a fifth-level beast after all. He did not suffer as much from the counter-damage resulting from his mating contract.”
“Counter-damage?” Gu Mengmeng was momentarily stunned. She suddenly recalled her showdown with Cole, when she had made used of the counter-damage from the mating contract to defeat Cole.”
That day, Cole had been under an immense amount of pain, but it was not as bad as how Leonard was suffering now. Writhing and quivering on the ground.
“Has something happened to Dora?” Gu Mengmeng asked after understanding Lea’s meaning.
Lea nodded. “Probably.”
Gu Mengmeng frowned. She stared helplessly at Leonard’s painful struggle.
There was nothing anyone could do to help him. One could only bear down and endure the counter-damage from the mating contract.
“Zacharias is situated deep in the woods and well-protected, how could something have happened to Dora inside the tribe…” Gu Mengmeng couldn’t understand.
The corners of Lea’s lips curled up in disdain. “As well-protected in the deep woods as Zacharias is, it cannot stop a fool from seeking death.”
Gu Mengmeng sighed and didn’t say anything more. After all, they were now here and none of them could know what was going on out there.
The only thing they could now was to wait and see if Leonard could endure through the counter-damage from his mating contract.
To be honest, despite Snakel’s memories making her immune to the sight of bloodshed, Gu Mengmeng’s heart was gripped by Leonard’s painful wails.
What kind of pain would make this stoic, tough male exhibit such distress?
Blood-shot eyes bulging and torrents of goodness-knows tears or sweat trickling down his face.
“Ah…!” Every howl originated from the depths of his chest. Gu Mengmeng now knew what the phrase heart-rending cries meant.
Sharp claws viciously clutched at his own chest, as if he wanted to dig out his own heart and crush it to end the mind-numbing pain. But something made him endure that urge as he forcibly withheld his claws and stopped himself from really cutting in.
After a long time, when Gu Mengmeng could barely stand to watch him anymore and desperately wished to help him end his suffering, did Leonard finally calm down.
At this moment, he was covered with wounds and looked just like a ghoul that had just crawled out of hell. His eyes were filled with malevolence and he stood up trembling. Disregarding the blood trickling down his wounds, he kept mumbling. “Revenge. I have to avenge Dora… Dora, wait for me… I will come find you after I kill him… don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid… even in hell, I will come and protect you…”
Leonard kept muttering to himself as he headed back along the way they had come.
Gu Mengmeng didn’t stop him but just let him leave.
No one knew if Leonard could endure the white mist. After all, he had fainted on the way here and it was Wabei who had carried him over.
But at this moment, his expression was too resolute. Gu Mengmeng could see clearly that vengeance was his only reason for living now.
But vengeance against whom? And how? Gu Mengmeng didn’t know and didn’t ask.
Everyone had the right to choose how to live their own lives. Whether through struggling or moping, it was his choice. Others… had no right to interfere.
