The Black Tortoise King thought that it was because Morticia feared his strength that she let Oliver go. He did not expect that it was Oliver who took the initiative to ask for it.
Oliver lowered his head and felt a little nervous under the burning gaze of the Black Tortoise King, but he quickly adjusted his mood and squeezed out a smile. "Father, what I just said is true. Look at me. What I've suffered was because of the daughter of White Tiger King. When he kicked me out of the demon race, he didn't care about your pride at all. His daughter, Mona, was even more hateful. She followed me in secret and cut off my legs. There is such a deep-rooted hatred between us. Are we just going to let that slip past us?"
Oliver looked at the warriors of the Black Tortoise race around him and continued, "Father, you didn't evacuate with White Tiger King. It seems that you had a fallout with him. In that case, why don't we go join the fiend race?
"The fiend race are powerful. By joining them, we'll be able to unify the Godly Region very soon. Then, the Black Tortoise race will make great contributions. Archfiend Antigonus will definitely treat us well."
He tried his best to persuade his father.
However, the Black Tortoise King shook his head. He looked firm and his attitude was even firmer. "Stop it. As one of the four innate beasts, I will never yield to anyone."
As he spoke, his eyes flickered. He looked at Oliver and continued, "Oliver, think about it carefully. Why did the demon race wage a war with the Godly Region thousands of years ago? Was it because we were unwilling to submit to the gods of the Godly Region? We did it for freedom. If we join the fiend race now, it'll go against what we've always wanted."
Oliver was a little anxious. "But the Black Tortoise race has already broken away from the entire demon race. If you want to stick to your principles, will we be able to protect ourselves in our situation with the Godly Region with only the strength of the Black Tortoise race?
"White Tiger King and the others won't let us go, let alone the Godly Region. Now that we have the chance to join the fiend race, why can't we just accept our fate?"
He could not understand why his father was so stubborn. What benefit would it bring to oppose the fiend race?
However, the Black Tortoise King was not listening to his son at all. He shook his head and said, "No way! Don't say that. I'll never agree. If I do what you say, how will I face our people and rule over them?"
