As a cripple with no legs, Oliver lay on the ground in an embarrassing position.
Oliver never wanted to lose his dignity like that, but he had no choice. He had already surrendered to the fiends, and there was no turning back.
Oliver glared at Darryl as he begged for mercy.
Darryl wanted to take the opportunity to kill Oliver, and Oliver could not afford to let Darryl succeed.
Darryl pretended to look around with a relaxed expression on his face when faced with Oliver's hostility.
Morticia was unmoved, and her expression remained cold.
"Your Excellency!"
Oliver was utterly flustered. He continued to kowtow and said with tears in his eyes, "I'm loyal to you. Think about it. The White Tiger King's daughter wounded me gravely. Why would I collude with them and be disloyal to you? What happened just now was an accident."
After thinking for a while, Oliver said, "Besides, you haven't caught the demons yet. I can still be useful to you, right?"
Oliver's eyes were full of expectation and pleading.
Morticia sighed when she felt Oliver's sincerity, and her face softened a little. She said gently, "Well, for the sake of your sincerity, I will spare you this time."
Morticia did not want to keep Oliver alive, but she thought Oliver was right.
He could still be useful to her since they had yet to find the demons. He only needed another chance.
"Thank you, Your Excellency!" Oliver was delighted and kowtowed even more to express his gratitude.
"But..."
However, at that time, Morticia changed the subject. She looked at Oliver and said indifferently, "You don't need to interfere in the investigation of their new territory. From now onward, we shall follow Darryl's arrangement, including you. Do you understand?"
Morticia looked firm and unquestionable as she said that.
The fact that Darryl stopped the action in time fully showed his capability and ability as an excellent leader. She thought it would be best to let him take the lead on their investigation.
As for Oliver, he had been too greedy to think critically to make the right decisions.
