Chapter 4100
Darryl frowned when he saw Oliver.
He thought that the White Tiger King had arrived. What was Oliver doing there?
Had the Demon Warriors not relocated? Why was Oliver still there, then?
Leia gasped as well, blinking at Oliver in mild confusion.
Had he not relocated with the Demon Warriors?
Yet Leia's suspicion did not last long. It was quickly replaced with excitement. Oliver had arrived. He must have been there
to help her and Darryl. Despite her coldness toward Oliver, he was still a Demon Warrior after all, and there was no way he
was going to stand by and let that happen without doing anything.
Leia was still unaware of Grunt and Oliver's secret alliance. Oliver was how Grunt could find the cave.
Oliver appeared in front of the three. He reeled in shock and anger when he took in Leia's red, swollen face.
He turned to Grunt, boiling with fury.
What the f*ck was Grunt doing? He had told Grunt he liked Leia, but Grunt had raised his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthand at her.
When he sensed Oliver's rage, Grunt smiled calmly. "If it isn't the Black Tortoise Prince.
This is between Darryl Darby and I. Don't come between this."
Grunt then pointed at Leia, "that woman had insisted on helping Darryl, even raising her
voice at me. I had no choice but to teach her a lesson."
Grunt was calm as he spoke, not forgetting to wink at Oliver discreetly.
Grunt appeared unperturbed, but his heart thudded nervously.
Oliver would not break their alliance over a woman, would he? He would explain that Leia
had provoked him first and spurred him to strike her. If Oliver refused to see sense, he
could do nothing about that.
At Grunt's wink and hasty explanation, Oliver heaved a sigh of relief. Yet internally, he still
bristled with annoyance.
Leia was Oliver's woman. How could he ignore the fact that Grunt had just slapped her? 1
’Oliver."
Just then, Leia snapped back to her senses and called out to Oliver. "Save us, please."
Suddenly, Leia felt an unexplainable surge of affection for Oliver. He had come just in
time, ridding her of worry for Darryl's safety.
At the same time, Darryl stared at Oliver. His eyes flickered slightly.
Oliver was the Black Tortoise King's son, and he had brought a few thousand warriors with
him. There was no way Grunt could attack them.
"Don't be scared, Leia!"
Oliver scrambled to respond to Leia's cries. "No one is going to hurt you anymore, now
that I'm here."
Oliver turned to glare at Grunt. "I don't care what rivalry you have with Darryl Darby. He's
the Demon Warriors' hero. Let him go this instant."
Despite the simmering in his chest, Oliver dared not cross Grunt. Leia was still at his
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmercy. More importantly, he needed Grunt to play along with his act.
Grunt smirked as the words rang through the air. He turned to Oliver, distaste evident in his features. "Who do you think
you are, demanding me to let Darryl Darby go? And what makes you think I would agree?"
It was an act, so he was going to play it up.
"F*ck you!"
Oliver pretended to be furious. He widened his eyes and roared, ' Do not abuse the favor that Nine Heaven Emperor has
placed in you, Grunt! I don't fear you. Don't you realize where you are?"
Oliver raised his arms. "Warriors, surround them."
At his command, the thousands of Black Tortoise warriors immediately moved. They surrounded Grunt and the remaining
soldiers tightly. The warriors explode with energy, practically tearing through the atmosphere and sending shivers down
one's spine.
The soldier grew slightly fearful when they saw that.
What was going on? What was Oliver doing, losing his cool like that?
Had he not agreed on an alliance with Grunt back at camp?
Grunt's expression shifted as he pretended to be angry. "So you know the Nine Heaven Emperor favors me. How dare you
still challenge me, then? Did you think of the implications?"
"Let them go, or die," Oliver responded coldly.
