As he spoke, Archfiend Antigonus's gaze landed on Princess Dorothy. His expression grew sinister by the second.
If it had been a day before, Archfiend Antigonus would have no grudges at all against Princess Dorothy. After all, she was only the Nine Heaven Emperor's daughter and was hardly a threat. Yet, after yesterday's defeat, Archfiend Antigonus had an incurable rage in his heart.
When he saw Princess Dorothy, he knew there was no way he would let her go so easily.
Princess Dorothy trembled under Archfiend Antigonus's icy stare. Fear flooded her heart as she continued to shake. "I… I'm not going with you."
As she spoke, Princess Dorothy cast a silent look at Jade Immortal.
"Archfiend Antigonus."
Jade Immortal finally lost his patience and called out loud to Archfiend Antigonus. "Are you here to cause a nuisance on purpose? You let me take the young lady away, and now you want to take her back?"
"That's right!" Archfiend Antigonus's face was entirely emotionless as he spoke lightly. "I'm having second thoughts!"
F*ck!"
Jade Immortal could hardly contain his anger. He turned to Archfiend Antigonus and spoke in a mocking tone, "Archfiend Antigonus, are you going back on your word? What would people say?"
Archfiend Antigonus's face darkened in an instant. An otherworldly god had criticized him. How could he stand for that?
Archfiend Antigonus's anger grew the more he thought about it. "'I'm asking nicely out of courtesy because we know each other, Jade Immortal. Don't take advantage of my kindness.
"I'm taking the young lady with me today."
As he spoke, a terrifying aura emanated from Archfiend Antigonus, enveloping the atmosphere.
Yet, Jade Immortal did not feel fear at all and was annoyed instead. He put his hands on his hips in frustration. "Well, as long as I'm here today, she's not going anywhere."
Lute, who had been observing the scene the entire time, finally piped up. "You're Archfiend Antigonus, for heaven's sake. What do you have against that young lady? Can't you let her go, on my account?"
Let her go?
Archfiend Antigonus's eyes flashed icily and sinisterly. He spat out the words, "Her father, the Nine Heaven Emperor, wiped out countless of my men. That is something I can't forget, and nothing you say will talk me out of it, Lute Belle. I suggest you stay out of this, or I won't show you any mercy."
