Chapter 831

: The Powerful Backer Behind The Stray Beasts
Elvis nodded.
I can keep a secret from her, but I cannot tell an outright lie. I promised her that I would never lie to her.

Lea nodded and didn’t say anything more. He just turned and went to the side to start cooking. Elvis stood at the side and continued to watch over Gu Mengmeng. That petite figure held such a massive attraction. It made everything else in this world pale in significance compared to her.
Sighing, Elvis shook his head in exasperation.
He would probably end up standing here until the leaves fell off the trees.
Gu Mengmeng stretched out lazily to stand up. It was just a subtle movement, but it instantly spurred the hearts of those two guys gaping from the entrance.

Mengmeng, I cooked some meat and potato stew. Shall I bring some over for you to taste?
Lea asked amiably as he leaned against the entrance.
Gu Mengmeng acted like she never heard him, completely ignoring him.
Lea didn’t despair, as if he didn’t realize that Gu Mengmeng was ignoring him. He continued.
Natalie’s body is weak and this is definitely something suitable for her to eat. Shall we go over with this food, and you can eat there together with her?

Gu Mengmeng maintained her silence.
Lea looked at Elvis who sighed. His eyes dimmed.
Something might have happened at Sauder.

Gu Mengmeng was stunned by this sentence. She looked at Elvis with lips tightly pressed together. She didn’t utter a word.
Taking a deep breath, Elvis continued.
I always knew this stray beast gang was capable of such standards only because it had the support of a ‘prominent figure’. But I only found out today that this ‘prominent figure’ is Cole.

Gu Mengmeng was dumbstruck. Cole was the backer behind the stray beasts? If even Elvis knew this, did it mean it was not a recent thing? But wasn’t Cole the ex-leader of Sauder?
The leader of the Messengers tribe was the powerful backer behind the stray beasts? Wasn’t this like a collusion between government officials and criminals?
Elvis couldn’t bear to see Gu Mengmeng frowning and didn’t want her to trouble over Cole. Hence he quickly continued.
The stray beast attack on the tribe looked like it was done on a whim, but that was not so. Their attack was aimed at those who had always been opposing Cole, or who stood in the way of certain matters. It could be said that Cole secretly instigated that attack to get rid of people who were obstructing him.

Gu Mengmeng frowned as she recalled that Cole had brought Chixuan to goodness-knows-where right before the dry season. It had been a long time since they saw him…
As she thought about it more, she remembered that during the last time she saw him, he asked if she had prepared her water supply, and even said that Sauder didn’t lack water.
However, Gu Mengmeng subsequently had a well dug for the tribe, and completely forgot Cole’s words.
But now that she thought of it…
Elvis had started out saying that something might have happened at Sauder. He then mentioned that Cole was the backer behind the stray beasts…
Elvis exhaled heavily and looked at Gu Mengmeng with a steady gaze. It was as if he was telling her
don’t be scared, you have me
.

Peter said that at the start of the dry season, Cole came back with a wolf pup. He felt that that wolf pup looked quite like me, and that Cole treated him very well. Cole even said that he couldn’t allow his precious son to go without water. Cole then departed with all the stray beasts who were fourth-level and above, leaving Peter to oversee the camp.

Gu Mengmeng took a deep breath. That wolf pup must have been Chixuan.
Sauder didn’t lack water…
Ha, it appeared that he was really going back to reclaim his lost territory.
