Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 4113

Archfiend Antigonus continued laughing as he slowly made his way toward Darryl. As he loomed over him, he said, "If it is not the great Nine Heaven Sage the Ancient Ancestor had appointed. We must have great fate to be meeting again so soon."

Archfiend Antigonus was smiling as he spoke, but his gaze was laced with ice.

Archfiend Antigonus had never properly interacted with Darryl, but he knew enough about him. Before Archfiend Antigonus had been reborn into a tangible body, he had once rioted in the Imperial Sky Palace. Darryl had been there. He was the one who had sent Archfiend Antigonus to the Ghost World after he trapped Archfiend Antigonus in the Devil Sealed Mirror.

Crap!

Darryl smiled weakly at Archfiend Antigonus's jeers as his heart dropped.

He was done for—he had fallen into the hands of Archfiend Antigonus.

"Honorable Archfiend!"

A thought seemed to come to Morticia. She turned to ask Archfiend Antigonus. "How are things here at the Imperial Palace?"

Archfiend Antigonus stopped smiling and told her what was going on.

Morticia fell into deep thought. Then, she smiled. "No need to worry, Honorable Archfiend! I have a plan that might make the Nine Heaven Emperor and Empress Nuwa surrender."

"Out with it!" Archfiend Antigonus's eyes flashed, urging her hurriedly!

Morticia pointed to Darryl. "Darryl Darby is not only the Nine Heaven Sage, but he's also the Jade Dragon Prince Consort, son-in-law to the Nine Heaven Emperor, impossibly powerful. I say we bring him to the Imperial Sky Palace gates and blackmail the Emperor into surrendering. Else, we'll destroy Darryl Darby's fairy soul.

Morticia spoke with a confident expression on her face. "That's his son-in-law. There's no way the Nine Heaven Emperor won't save him."

The other Fiend Martyrs grew excited.

"Nice one, Morticia."

"Who would've thought of blackmailing the Emperor with Darryl Darby! Genius!"

Archfiend Antigonus seemed pleased as well, letting out a laugh. "Sounds like a plan. Go and see about it!"

"Yes!"

Morticia and the other Fiend Martyrs agreed immediately, bringing Darryl with them.

Darryl was torn between feeling uneasy and helpless.

F*ck! It was one thing to be held captive and another to be used as blackmail. The Nine Heaven Emperor did not like Darryl at all. Why would he ever agree to let Archfiend Antigonus have his way?

Worse than that, Archfiend Antigonus might fly into a rage at being turned down. He might kill Darryl to vent his anger.
