Chapter 792: Let’s Elope

Elvis saw that Gu Mengmeng looked rather grim and his heart ached. “You don’t need to confront him. I can handle it.”

Gu Mengmeng lowered her head in silence.

She was already playing out a dramatic soap opera in her head.

Elvis’ father would fling a blank check in her face and say solemnly, “Fill in any figure you want. Take the money and leave my son alone. A woman like you is not worthy of my son.”

Thereafter, Gu Mengmeng would slam the table as she stood up to retort with a cla.s.sic line. “I am different from other women. I am not with him for his money!”

Elvis’ father would then smirk maliciously. “You are choosing punishment over reward, very well… misfortunes will start to befall your friends one by one. I want to see how long you can fight against me?”

…

Gu Mengmeng had already started to tremble.

Should she have obediently taken the blank check given by Elvis’ father and then live off the money with Elvis in secret? Or should she have definitely torn it into bits and threw it back in the father’s face?

Wait, she seemed to have neglected a crucial issue…

What issue…?

Ah!

There were no checks in the Beast World.

Then… what would his father throw in her face? A beast skin?

“Xiao Meng?” Seeing that Gu Mengmeng had remained silent with an ambiguous expression on her face, Elvis felt rather worried and anxious.

He had already tried his best not to get injured. But that old fellow still bit his shoulder.

d.a.m.n it!

Gu Mengmeng looked up with a trace of resentment in her features. “Are you going to listen to your father?”

Elvis: …?

Gu Mengmeng continued. “If your father objects to the two of us being together. Will you abandon me?”

Elvis: …!

Gu Mengmeng looped her arms around Elvis’ neck. “Let’s elope. Let’s head back to Saint Nazaire right now, far far away from him…”

Elvis laughed out loud. All his worries were erased by her invitation to “elope”. He had already planned a speech to explain and comfort her, but all that was reduced to a doting “alright”.

Lea held his forehead, exasperated at the scene.

He had already detected something strange going on with Elvis during their journey. Combined with the aura of those beasts secretly tailing them, he more or less guessed that they were related to Elvis.

But it was very obvious that the relations.h.i.+p between Elvis and his beast Father was totally different from what Gu Mengmeng was thinking.

But since she did not broach the issue, he and Elvis were more than happy to let things be. As a result, Lea didn’t pursue the matter. He just said, “If we are to run, we must do so quickly. Otherwise, they will catch up soon.”

Gu Mengmeng straightened herself as she prepared to leap down the tree with Elvis. She had just moved when she got a slight shock. A bitter smile crossed her face. “Too late.”

Lea and Elvis instantly went into alert mode. They knew that Gu Mengmeng’s senses were now more acute than theirs.

Gu Mengmeng sat on the branch and pointed to a nearby patch of undergrowth. She grinned. “Since you have come all the way here, why hide?”

The undergrowth rustled a little before a male stood up from within. He was tall and st.u.r.dy, radiating a formidable aura. He looked just like a dark version of Elvis. Their similarities were so obvious that there was no need for any DNA testing…
