Chapter 984: A Little Trick?
“I had planned to just let Dora die.” Cole continued, but he suddenly laughed. “But I accidentally discovered something interesting. A tiger who was at the seaside fell in love with a female from the Mermaid Tribe. Unfortunately, the tiger was unable to survive in the deep ocean, while the females of the Mermaid Tribe were a rare breed and would never leave the sea unnecessarily.”
Tiger?
Ha, wasn’t Leonard a tiger.
Gu Mengmeng sneered. “Why tarnish the word ‘accident’? Didn’t you choose to use Dora right from the start because of this additional value of hers?”
Cole’s eyes brightened. He looked at Gu Mengmeng with obvious approval. “Ah Gu is really Ah Gu. Completely different from those other foolish females.”
Gu Mengmeng did not feel at all delighted by Cole’s praise.
She stared at Cole in a chilly silence.
Cole kept smiling and said in a hapless manner, “Alright, I admit it. Right from the start, I knew the female mermaid who Leonard had fallen in love with was Dora. But Dora’s heart was set on Fei Rui. She just refused to go with Leonard. So I had to play a little trick to bring those two lovebirds together.”
A little trick?
Ha, Gu Mengmeng really despised Cole to the core.
He used such a simple phrase to gloss over the torment Dora had endured in that prison.
He had used the Fox Seductive Fragrance to lure those male fishes to desecrate Dora. He had done it partly because of his base sense of humor, but mostly to destroy Dora mentally and cast her into deep despair.
Only then would Leonard’s appearance seem like a lifeline for Dora—where she would throw herself into his embrace and hold onto him tightly.
Meanwhile, Leonard remained in the dark. Driven by the torment and pain that his loved one was enduring, he ended up being led step by step into Cole’s trap, .
And there was one very important point among this entire thing—which was Cole accurately surmised that Dora would never get Fei Rui.
Because the moment Dora obtained Fei Rui, she would pour her entire efforts onto him and never do anything else for Cole again.
In other words, from the first moment Cole started negotiations with Dora, he had no intention of letting her get Fei Rui.
He had deceived her right from the start.
And Dora probably only realized this right before her death.
Making use of Fei Rui to string Dora along, to make her instigate Carter to imprison Melinda and force Fei Rui to the brink of despair. And then spreading the news of the Kiss of the Ocean to Fei Rui so that he would naturally seek out Gu Mengmeng at Saint Nazaire so that he could save his sister. As for what happened after, Cole didn’t even need to interfere much. He just needed to nudge a few of the pawns at the appropriate times to easily attain his goal.
After Leonard saved Dora, he once again used Fei Rui to incite Dora.
To have ended up in such a pitiful state all for Fei Rui’s sake, Dora would never be content unless she got him.
So Dora would definitely listen to Cole. She persuaded Leonard to take in the former members of the tribe which attacked the Snake King valley, and then head to Sauder to file an appeal, using the Soul of the Forest in exchange for Gu Mengmeng’s pardon.
Ha, so this was Cole’s real motive for insisting that Gu Mengmeng go to Sauder before winter?
He had to ensure that when Leonard went to “file an appeal”, he would meet Gu Mengmeng then.
With this line of thought…
Gu Mengmeng took a deep breath and stared coldly at Cole. “So you were the one who orchestrated the attack on the Snake King valley?”
