Cole did not think that Lea was being sarcastic and laughed calmly, "Just as you have said, Ah Gu is not a foolish young female. It's difficult to deceive her, especially since she had such strong enemity towards me. If I wanted to change her thoughts towards me, wouldn't I have to be more harsh on myself?"
Lea stopped his stirring movement and turned to look at Cole. With a blank look in his eyes, he asked, "That time you had used up all your schemes to fight for your life, yet now you are using your energy to plan for your own death... I really cannot understand you, are you seeking life or death?"
Cole looked up and sat against the wall. His eyes were mysterious, as though he was looking at his past self through the fire, and he said, "I was unwilling to accept it that time. I could not understand 'based on what right' and was determined to have everyone trampled under my feet. These few years, I have indeed done that. I have become Sauder's leader, the Beast World's almighty place of justice; also the stray beast's king, controlling the deepest and darkest part of the Beast World; I have been the kindest and evilest in front of others... You may not believe it but I am already sick of such a life, where everything is within my control and no one can escape from my grasp. If I want to live, I can live, if I want to die, I can also die, if I want to live like I was dying... it's also not impossible."
Cole glanced at Lea and smiled, "As the most intelligent being in the Beast World, have you gotten rid of me at all all these years? I have been hated the most by people like Peter and Oakley, but I don't care about their hatred. I even intentionally allowed them to grow and develop sharp claws and teeth to attack me. Sadly, they were too dumb and could not receive the blow, so it was a boring for me."
"There's also people who loved me the most, such as Maya and Gillian. They tried their best to please me, accomodate me, humour me but I could not bring myself to be interested in them at all. Other than using them, they had no other value in my eyes." Cole's eyes were as dead as calm water that it made people feel chills."Also you, my brother who hates and loves me. You hate me for scheming against you, hate me for torturing you, but you also cannot bear to part with the blood relation we share. After all, I am your only elder brother alive in this world, so when Elvis and you attacked me that time at Sauder, even though you had already held me down, you cannot bring yourself to kill me, so you used the excuse of Ah Gu wanting to protect Chixuan to release me... I don't believe that you don't know returning the tiger to the mountains would incur trouble in future. At that time, it would be most beneficial for you to kill me directly. After all, my life had not become intertwined with Chixuan's yet and it would be the most rational decision to kill me then look for Chixuan."
"But all these could not beat Ah Gu's gentle look that time..." Cole's gaze softened and ripples seemed to have formed in his dead eyes."When I first saw her, she was grilling meat with Elvis in the outdoor area of Sauder. Sauder has a Flame Devil and it was unlikely for me to not know until a chaos happened. Actually, I had reached the place even earlier than all the female beasts that had attended the beauty contest, exceot that I was stunned by Ah Gu's brightly lit and smiling face. I forgot to move so I did not step forward."
Cole broke a tree branch and threw it into the fire, then laughed softly, "I saw her humming a tune in Elvis' arms while extending her hands to grill the meat on a tree branch. As the fire light flickered in her eyes, it was as though her entire person was glowing, and she was even brighter than the fire in front of her..."
