Chapter 4072
"The White Tiger King refused to see me because he did not want to expend the demon's energy. He thinks I
won't be able to do anything if he just leaves me here? I'll see what he can do when I attract the fiend race
warrios here. Then, the demon race will have no choice but to fight," General Grunt said with a cold look in his
eyes as he became excited.
He insisted on getting the demons involved. It would still be considered a contribution by making them stall a
part of Archfiend Antigonus' energy.
As they wondered, General Grunt glanced around him and ordered the Generals, "Pass my word on to release the
Seek Help Amulet immediately when the sky turns dark."
"Yes, Your Excellency!" the many Generals answered in unison.
Meanwhile, back at the demon’s territory, the white Tiger King had followed Darryl's advice and did not meet
General Grunt. At the same time, he was almost worried about Darryl’s injuries. To show his sincerity, he sent his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇteldest daughter, Leia, to care for Darryl.
Leia respected Darryl a lot and agreed to the task immediately. While Darryl recuperated,
Leia delivered food and drinks to him on her own and took care of him meticulously.
Oliver, the son of the Black Tortoise King, was rather bothered by that. He had a big build
and incredible powers. He was one of the renowned elites among the demon race. Oliver
and Leia were of the same age and he had feelings for Leia for a long time when the
demons were still kept captive. After that, as they have turned into adults, Oliver had
fallen head over heels for Leia.
At that moment, he stood behind a tree outside the stone chamber where Darryl treated
his injuries, looking perplexed.
A day before, Leia had promised Oliver to cultivate with him but half a day had passed and
she had not shown up. After that, he heard the news that Leia had gone to take care of
Darryl. Oliver then felt unsettled and went over to take a look. Anyone else would not be
able to tolerate the woman they loved taking care of another man. 2
Just as he felt downcast, the door of the stone chamber was pushed open. Then, Leia
walked out with a plate in her hands. Earlier, she had served Darryl lunch. Darryl's
recovery was progressing fairly well and he quickly finished up his meals. Leia was
pleased. After all, Darryl was the benefactor of the demons and it would be a blessing to
the demon race if he recovered soon.
At that point in time, Oliver was startled to see Leia. He ran up and cried out, "Leia. Leia!"
Hearing a voice crying out to her, Leia stood and turned around. When she saw it was
Oliver, she was frozen for a while and she grinned. "Oliver, what are you doing here?"
Oliver walked up to her and he stood before her, behaving demurely like a child. "Leia.
You... You promised the other day to cultivate with me. Have you forgotten?"
He looked at her expectedly and spoke with urgency.
Suddenly, Leia recalled, smacked her forehead and said regretfully, "I'm so sorry, Oliver. I
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtotally forgot."
Then, she turned around and looked at the stone chamber. "My father told me to look after
Darryl. He's badly injured and needs someone to take care of him."
'Just as what I expected.' Oliver smiled, feeling embarrassed and looking like he had just realized it but deep
down, he was aggrieved. 'The white Tiger King didn't need to send Leia to take care of Darryl even when he's a
benefactor to the demons.'
"Why don't I bring a few maids here to take care of Darryl, His Excellency? Then, you can cultivate with me. You
should know, without your company, I can't cultivate in peace," he asked.
He assumed that Leia liked him back and thought she would certainly agree to it. However, Leia's response had
dampened the hope that Oliver had.
"No, it's my father's orders. Plus... Darryl is a knowledgeable person and he knows everything. I want to grab this
chance to learn something from him," Leia said.
She was aware of Oliver's feelings towards her, but deep down, she had always seen him as a friend.
Oliver smiled awkwardly and froze. He did not expect Leia to reject him crudely because she wanted to take care
of Darryl.
