Jade Immortal took a deep breath and said to Darryl patiently, "Don't worry. If I wanted to go, no one can stop me. You're not the same. You are the hero of The Nine Mainland. There are still many things ahead of you. Quick. I won't be able to hold them back if you delay any longer."
He looked calm, but deep down, he was worried. 'Darryl is so stubborn! Can't he tell that both of us can't leave at the same time?'
Darryl took a long breath and felt dismayed. 'Hero of The Nine Mainland?'
At the same time, Archfiend Antigonus, Morticia, and other Fiend Martyrs scowled. 'Why does that title sound so familiar?'
Though Jade Immortal did not call Darryl by his name, Archfiend Antigonus, Morticia, and other Fiend Martyrs were not fools either. They knew something was wrong when they heard the way Jade Immortal had addressed that man.
'Sh*t! Did they find out Darryl's identity? It's my fault for letting it spill,' Jade Immortal started to panic and regret saying that.
"Hey, what are you waiting for? Quickly run! Or do you want to watch me get killed?" he shouted at Darryl.
Immediately, Jade Immortal erupted his energy and charged towards Archfiend Antigonus. "Archfiend Antigonus, didn't you wanna kill me? Bring it on!"
He realized that Archfiend Antigonus had started to suspect Darryl and to prevent him from going after Darryl, he had to stop him.
"You're asking for it!" Seeing Jade Immortal charging towards him, Archfiend Antigonus grunted, rushed forward, and fought with Jade Immortal in the air.
During the fight, Archfiend Antigonus instructed Morticia and the other Fiend Martyrs, "Catch that guy, dead or alive."
He was no fool. Though he had yet to confirm Darryl's identity, he knew the man was someone important when he saw Darryl had fixed the teleport gateway in such a short time and was favored by Jade Immortal.
