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 .
