Beast World: The villain mermaid cub refuses to become a good person

Chapter 224 I Just Love Someone Like You [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

“I understand.” Ed nodded. “I need to contact Ray and find out what’s going on.”

Over the years, he has only seen Ray's name in some online reports and research reports.

I wonder how Lei is doing.

He was poisoned by a strange toxin and survived by sheer luck. He probably hasn't had a very good life these past few years.

Ed felt frustrated.

His own medical skills aren't bad, are they? Why doesn't Ray come to him to discuss it together!
Ed really wanted to yell "You deserve it!" but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Lei is pitiful enough.

Fine, I'll be magnanimous and forgive him!

If that guy Lai could say a few nice words, I'd help him find a way to detoxify the poison in his body.

If he still has that sour face... then he'll have to charge!
After Ed got Yu Manman's contact information, he looked at the short line of numbers.

Back when Lei was leaving Kyushu University, he made a special trip to Lei and told him that if he needed anything, he could come to him.

He'd already said that, and Lei just gave a curt "hmm" and left without even turning around! It really infuriated him!
Wasn't his implication clear enough? He meant that they could exchange contact information so they could stay in touch! They could reconcile, sit down and talk, and become friends!
Claire didn't understand what he meant at all!
If he hadn't learned it from Yu Manman, he would have thought that Lai Yi had long forgotten him!

"Manman... is this what Lei told you about me?"

Ed looked up at Yu Manman.

Judging by his mouth, he probably can't say anything nice, right?

Does he say he's inferior to him in every way?

Yu Manman opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

"Um... Fourth Uncle actually considers you a friend..."

Ed couldn't help but want to curl his lips upwards, but he couldn't be too smug, so he quickly pressed them down.

"Come on, how would you know what he's thinking?" Ed scoffed. "Just tell me the truth!"

"Ah..." Do you really want to say it?
Yu Manman secretly watched him.

"Is there something you can't say?" Ed looked at her. "So you were talking badly about me, weren't you?"

"No! Fourth Uncle absolutely did not say anything bad about you!" Yu Manman assured him.

I just told a little story, it's not... bad talk... right?

"What did he say?"

Yu Manman whispered three words: "One hundred yuan..."

Ed was taken aback, then realized something and his ears turned red.

One hundred dollars!!
What a hundred yuan!

Yu Manman knows even such detailed things!
That guy, Lei! He exposed all his secrets! How is he supposed to stand up straight in front of this younger generation now?
Damn it! I knew Lai wouldn't say anything nice! But... I just had to keep pressing him for an answer!
If he had known, he wouldn't have asked!
"What, a hundred dollars?" The person who came with Ed looked at Ed curiously.

What kind of riddle are we playing?

“It’s nothing!” Ed said immediately. “It’s just about how Rye cheated me out of a hundred dollars back then!”

Yu Manman blinked, "Yes..."

That's true; it's true that Fourth Uncle cheated Uncle Ed out of his money...

"Oh." I feel like there are some stories that have been omitted.

"Alright! I still have some things to finish at the lab, so I'll be going now!" Ed turned and left, not wanting to stay any longer. The others exchanged glances.

Why does it seem like Professor Ed is embarrassed and annoyed? And the emphasis is on 'embarrassment'!
That's strange. Professor Ed usually has a fierce look on his face. When has he ever been shy?
This made them even more curious about what exactly happened between Ed King and Rye!
Ed blushed more and more as he thought about it!
He glanced at Lai's number on the personal terminal and snorted!
No way! He has to go and confront them!
Back then, Lai cheated me out of a hundred dollars, and now I have to make him pay me back with interest!

Two hundred... no! A thousand will do!
Ed looked at Lyle's number and reached out to dial it.

In that instant, Ed suddenly regretted it! Sigh, he should have given his number to Yu Manman so she could pass it on to Lai! Let Lai contact him first!
Now, when I contact him myself, I always feel like I'm at a disadvantage as soon as we exchange blows!
"Hello...who is this?"

While he was lost in thought, he accidentally dialed the number!
Ed was tense.

He's not ready yet!
"Hey?"

"I'm hanging up if you don't tell me..."

"Wait!" Ed said quickly.

There was a moment of silence on the other end. "Ed King?"

"Oh, so you still remember me!" Ed's tone immediately turned sarcastic, without any prior rehearsal...

"Manman came to look for you?" Lei asked. "She gave you her contact information, right?"

"Ha, otherwise how do you think I had your contact information?" Ed gritted his teeth. "Back then, you left so decisively, without even leaving a phone number!"

"...You didn't ask me for it either."

Depend on!
"Can't you take the initiative if I don't ask you?" Ed sneered. "Yeah, I'm your defeated opponent, so it's understandable that you look down on me!"

"I... I think you probably don't really want to see me, after all, I've seen so many embarrassing things about you..."

"If I didn't want to see you, why did I go to see you off when you left Kyushu University? Did I have nothing better to do?"

Lei was speechless for a moment.

"Then what do you mean?"

Lei had a vague idea, but didn't say anything.

"I wanted to be friends with you, didn't you understand? Otherwise, why would I have gone to see you?" Ed was furious. "What's wrong with your brain? How did someone like you even find the mistress!"

After a moment of silence, Ray said, "I treated you so badly, why do you still want to be friends with me? I've seen plenty of embarrassing things about you..."

"Besides, you have so many friends, you won't miss me."

Because I couldn't believe it, I pretended not to know anything and didn't even think about it at the time.

Ed was so angry his nose was practically crooked. "I like you just the way you are, okay? I'm a masochist, okay?!"

"Really?" Lei asked incredulously.

That doesn't seem entirely unacceptable...

"Ha, you sure know how to take advantage of a situation!" Ed glared, his eyes blazing. "Back then, I just wanted to win you over first, and once you thought we were friends, I'd teach you a lesson to get revenge for that hundred dollars!"

"Otherwise, do you think I'm really a masochist!"

"..."

“Hey! Say something!” Ed frowned.

Was he too fierce? Did he scare Ray away?
“Oh, I see…” Lei said calmly.

So that’s it?
Did Ray really believe him, or was he just trying to fool him?

Ed thought to himself that he would be driven crazy by Rye sooner or later!
Ed suddenly realized, "Wait, what was I originally calling for?"

Why does it suddenly feel like I'm comforting him? Shouldn't he be the one comforting me?
