As a matter of fact, Grunt did not want to be polite to Oliver, but now he had no choice. Since Oliver had joined the fiend race, he wanted Oliver to be a matchmaker and introduce him to Archfiend Antigonus.
He had made up his mind that if he fled in that state, he would be caught by the Nine Heaven Emperor sooner or later. At that time, his fairy soul would be destroyed. It would be better to cut off all means of retreat and join the fiends.
However, in the battle at the Imperial Sky Palace, the fiends suffered heavy casualties, and the entire fiend race hated the Godly Region. If Grunt went to see Archfiend Antigonus, he would probably be killed before he could explain his purpose.
After all, in the eyes of the fiends, Grunt was the Nine Heaven Emperor's capable assistant.
So, the best way was to find a guide.
Oliver was undoubtedly the most suitable person to do that.
Oliver heaved a long sigh and growled, "It's all because of Darryl." Then, he told Grunt what had happened.
In the end, Oliver could not hide his sadness and resentment. "Darryl made me so miserable. I wish I could rip his skin off him. But fortunately, Archfiend Antigonus killed him. His bones were burnt to ashes at the top of the mountain."
Darryl was dead?
Grunt was stunned. Then, he broke out into a burst of loud laughter.
Grunt has never been in a better mood. "Darryl, you took Princess Dorothy, and in the end, you were punished. God is fair. God truly is fair."
Oliver's eyes twinkled when he saw Grunt's complacent look and said lightly, "Commander Grunt, Darryl is dead. We should let bygones be bygones. I should have a drink with you to celebrate that occasion, but I have something important to do, so I can't accompany you. See you later."
Oliver was about to turn around and leave.
Oliver was an intelligent man. He knew that he had allied with Grunt because of Darryl. Since Darryl had disappeared, the alliance had also died with him.
Oliver had surrendered to the fiends, and since Grunt belonged to the Godly Region, he could not stay with him.
More importantly, he had just killed a fiend general.
