Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 4071

"My suggestion is, of course, to not listen to General Grunt. He was defeated at Sealed Fiend Mountain and he was too ashamed to face the Nine Heaven Emperor. His only other choice is to make up for it and the demon race are his lifesavers," Darryl said, chuckling.

He thought about it and added, "And, based on my understanding of General Grunt, he looks like he's asking for help, but he just wants the demon race to become cannon fodder. He wants to use the demon race's lives to delay the progression of Archfiend Antigonus."

The White Tiger King's face changed and he said with coldness, "Your Excellency, you're right. After what he did to you, he wouldn't be sincere to the demon race. In that case, should I order my people to chase him out of here?"

Darryl shook his head. "No. Just leave him be. If I'm not mistaken, Archfiend Antigonus has led the majority of his people towards the Imperial Sky Palace and there's only a small number of fiend race warriors patrolling near the Sealed Fiend Mountain. The situation is critical and General Grunt won't wait patiently."

After getting the insight, the White Tiger King nodded and chuckled. "Understood. Darryl, you're indeed foresighted. It's getting late now. Please rest, Your Excellency. I'll visit again tomorrow."

Then, he left.

The next day, General Grunt was sitting in the newly set-up tents in the forest outside of the demon race's territory, looking gloomy. He had not rested for three days and two nights. He looked haggard, but he did not plan to rest. He was frazzled.

'It's been one night. The White Tiger King has not sent anyone to ask for me. I can't be wasting anymore time here when the Godly Region is in chaos right now,' he thought.

Then, he ordered a Grand Weapon, "Tell the demons that I want to see the White Tiger King."

He decided to take action after not receiving any news from the White Tiger King.

"Yes, Commander," the Grand Weapon answered and rushed out of the tent.

Soon after, the Grand Weapon returned, looking troubled, and said to General Grunt, "Commander, the Demon Warriors refuse to pass the message. They also said that the White Tiger King is currently busy and is unable to meet you."
