Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 4164

However, General Grunt did not leave, and instead, he remained standing, but he was hesitant to speak.

The letter he passed to the Nine Heaven Emperor was given to him by Solar General, who got it from Darryl. Moreover, General Grunt had taken the credit. Sooner or later, the Nine Heaven Emperor would find out the truth. Then, he would not forgive him. How could General Grunt remain calm?

Seeing General Grunt standing still, the Nine Heaven Emperor frowned. "Why are you still standing there? Is there anything else?"

General Grunt pondered and he looked hesitant to speak. "Your Majesty, there's something that I'm uncertain whether I should tell you."

The Nine Heaven Emperor sighed and grunted, "Hurry up. Stop beating around the bush."

General Grunt nodded and looked conflicted as he said, "I heard that Darryl surrendered himself to the fiend race."

The Nine Heaven Emperor's eyes flickered with coldness and remained silent.

General Grunt added, "Your Majesty, at the Sealed Fiend Mountain, it was my fault for not stopping Darryl in time and causing him to be trapped in the blood sacrifice. I thought he was really dead. Then, when Archfiend Antigonus brought him to threaten you, I thought he was an impersonator."

He spoke eloquently and at the same time, he was observing the changes in the Nine Heaven Emperor's face.

The Nine Heaven Emperor had a straight face. When Archfiend Antigonus used Darryl to threaten him, he had already realized that it was the real Darryl. However, for the sake of his dignity and the safety of the Imperial Sky Palace, the Nine Heaven Emperor had not expressed his opinion.

Until General Grunt suddenly appeared and claimed that he was just an impersonator, the Nine Heaven Emperor then adopted his point of view without hesitation.

That way, he had protected his dignity and also the Imperial Sky Palace.

At that moment, General Grunt had once again brought up that incident. The Nine Heaven Emperor was not a fool and said, "Based on what you said, back then it was really Darryl and now he has surrendered himself to the fiend race?"

General Grunt nodded and pretended. "Yes. I assume that Darryl saw we didn't save him and even claimed that he was an impersonator. He must have held a grudge against us and that's why he surrendered to the fiend race."
