Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 2558

Whoosh!

The group fixed their gazes on Chester.

Chester took a deep breath and smiled bitterly. "Zhang Jue wants to capture Darryl by using you guys as bait. He is not going to harm you for now, but he's an evil and vicious person. He'll sacrifice all of you eventually, regardless of whether he succeeds in capturing Darryl."

Chester's expression became conflicted as he continued to say, "I promised Zhang Jue to come here under the pretense that I'd advise you guys to surrender."

He felt powerless when he said that because he knew that the Endless Sky Organization's main altar was heavily guarded, and they had more than 100,000 elite disciples. There was no way that Chester could release all of them from the prison cell by himself.

Based on their situation, Chester could only choose to secure his position with Zhang Jue as he waited for an opportunity patiently.

'What?'

The group was shocked.

Yvette bit her lips and exclaimed, "Are you saying that we should fake a surrender? But that'd be too pretentious. Zhang Jue would know with one glance; he's not an idiot."

Chester nodded. "Yes, that's why I decided to pick only a few of you to pretend to submit to Zhang Jue as I did. He wouldn't suspect anything."

Dax exclaimed with a conflicted expression. "Brother Chester, that's too troublesome. Can't you just release us? Now's a great opportunity. Zhang Jue trusts you."

"Dax, it's not that simple." Chester shook his head and explained with a bitter smile. "I would've done that earlier if I could. Zhang Jue is still cautious toward me. I'm worried that his men might lurk at the foot of the hill if I let you go now. My previous efforts would all go to waste."

"Besides, I think I should stay with Zhang Jue after freeing you guys so that I could keep track of his plans against Darryl."

Fuh!

Both Yvette and Dax became silent.

They knew that it would be too risky for Chester, but it did not seem like they had any other choice.
