“Died from the punishment of the mating contract,” Lea said calmly, but Gu Mengmeng could see turbulence in his eyes.

“Were you close to your oldest brother?” Gu Mengmeng asked.

Lea thought for a while, shook his head and said, “Not really considered close, but we were taught to be brothers that support each other, so we spent quite an amount of time together.”

Gu Mengmeng did not understand why, out of nine brothers, the oldest and the youngest has to be the best pals.

Lea continued and said, “The oldest inherits the position of the leader, while the youngest, the witch doctor. The arrival of the Messenger of the Beast Deity is a sign of the god, she being born in Sauder is a sign of the land. If my big brother and I cooperated and formed the sign of mankind, Sauder will be brought to the top again and regain its glory.”

Gu Mengmeng frowned, this desired state might be in the public interest, but it would have struck somebody’s inner dark side.

The answer to the identity of the person was almost obvious.

“So… Cole killed your eldest brother’s partner?” Gu Mengmeng asked.

Lea shook his head and replied, “My eldest brother’s partner disappeared on the day my eldest brother died. Nobody knew how she disappeared or where did she go after that. So, there were also no evidence to prove that Cole did this, but…”

Lea did not finish his sentence. Gu Mengmeng paused and continued from where Lea had left off, “But, you are suspecting he planned everything because Cole is the one who benefits the most from this?”

Lea hesitated for a while before finally nodding his head and he said, “You mentioned it before, that perfection… is the biggest loophole.”

Gu Mengmeng somewhat remembered she did say something like that before, but had forgotten the situation that made her say this. But looking at Lea made Gu Mengmeng at a loss of what to do.

Frankly, Cole indeed give people a feeling of distant, but Gu Mengmeng felt like he was not the type to make use of the sister-in-law to kill his own brother. Usually, the personality determined one’s features, evil people would always have some characteristics exposing it on his face. But Cole did not have anything that would make others feel uncomfortable.

Gu Mengmeng only knew some parts of Lea’s past, she could not tell how much of what Lea was speaking was from his distorted memory due to hatred, but she also did not want to question him regarding Cole and make him sadder. She weighed her words for a while, let out a sigh and said, “Maybe… it was just a misunderstanding?”

Lea did not get mad, but smiled faintly and said, “Yeah, maybe it was just a misunderstanding.”

Gu Mengmeng could clearly felt how sensitive Lea was. This sentence that sounded like approval contained so much disappointment and dismay that could not be described with words.

“It’s not that I don’t trust what you said…” Gu Mengmeng explained.

Lea held onto Gu Mengmeng’s hands, kissed it with his lips and said, “It is reasonable for someone that had lied to you before not to deserve your unconditional trust. This is my fault, I am not blaming you, don’t mind me.”

“I… I did not mean it.” Gu Mengmeng was a little panic, she knew Lea’s past was filled with blood and tears, if not he would not have said things like ‘you resembled a more alive person than me’ to Elvis. She did not intend to rub salt into Lea’s wounds, but this sentence had brutally torn open his festered wounds again.
