Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 4122

Oliver gasped—he looked terrified. In a low voice, he whispered, "At your service, Sir. My name is Ulysses. My men and I are a backup patrol team, and at the moment, we still haven't heard anything about the new territory's location."

As he spoke, Oliver struggled to keep calm. He continued to say, "His Majesty, the White Tiger King sent out many backup patrol teams to search the grounds for fiends like you to distract them and send them on their way. It was to divert your attention from finding the new territory's location."

Oliver's face was the picture of sincerity as he spoke, a sharp contrast to the unease in his heart.

The main goal that day had been to lure the fiend army away to protect the new territory. More importantly, it was a chance to make up for his wrongdoings. He could not afford to make any mistakes.

Oliver had thought it through. As long as his real identity was not revealed, the Fiend Martyr would not do much to him. He was, after all, one of the twelve Fiend Martyrs. That was a title of incomparable power, and he would probably not hurt a patrol guard too severely.

"You don't know?"

Yooda did not suspect Oliver's identity. Yet his face still darkened as he said coldly, "Do you know who I am, young man? Do you know the consequences of lying to me?"

As he spoke, a terrifying aura rippled through the atmosphere.

Feeling the pressure, Oliver gulped. His senses were flooded with fear, but he managed to say, "I'm telling the truth and only the truth. I would never dare lie to you. Please spare me mercy, Honorable One."

Oliver pretended to be scared out of his wits. His legs wobbled so hard he could barely stand.

Yooda let out a mocking smile at his words. "These Demon warriors have no courage at all, losing their composure at a mere few questions."

Yooda did not hold back. He continued to mock Oliver. "Fine. Since you don't know where the new territory is, how do you report to the White Tiger King when you are done with patrol duty?"

Uhh…

Oliver fell silent. His brain worked furiously as he scrambled for an answer. "The White Tiger King gave us half a day to complete his orders and to gather at a canyon nearby after that. His Majesty said he would send men to collect us."

Oliver was panicking at the onslaught of questions. Yet he knew he could not tell the truth. So, he made things up as he went along.
