Chapter 4102
Grunt took a deep breath as he scrambled to speak. "Let's not make rash decisions, Oliver.’
"What's it to you?’
Oliver smiled coldly, eyeing Grunt. "Are you going to let them go, General Grunt?"
Leia let out a breath of relief. At the same time, she glared at Grunt, disgust in her eyes.
What a b*stard! He had taken advantage of Darryl's weakness to attack him and Leia. Since Oliver had made his move,
Grunt started to cower.
The Nine Heaven Emperor should be ashamed, having a subordinate so lowly.
Next to Leia, Darryl frowned.
Would Grunt and Oliver go that far? Would a fight break out between the two of them?
"Prince Oliver."

Just as Darryl pondered the situation, a smile appeared on Grunt's face. He called out to
Oliver. "You want the girl? You can have her. I'll let her go for the sake of the bigger
picture. I'm sure you know as well as I do that it's far more important to join forces to take
down the fiends."
Grunt waved a hand at the soldiers by his side. "Go on, free Lady Leia."
"Yes, General."
The soldiers moved immediately, bringing Leia out.
Leia was overjoyed. Grunt was willing to make a compromise. There was help for her and
Darryl, after all.
"Leia."
Oliver smiled as he rushed forward. "You weren't hurt too badly, were you? Don't be
scared. You're alright now."
As he spoke, Oliver nodded at Grunt in secret gratitude.
Grunt had succumbed indeed, but that was also part of the plan. The goal had been for
Oliver to appear more heroic and manly to Leia.
Yet, at Oliver's apparent passion, Leia did not seem too emotional. Instead, she calmed
down quickly enough.
"Oliver."
Leia turned to point at Darryl, still in the cave. She said hurriedly, "Quick, get him to free
Honorable Master Darby as well."
Leia had nothing but admiration and affection for Darryl. She had not forgotten that he
was not out of danger yet.
Oliver nodded, speaking in a comforting tone. "Don't worry. I won't leave him behind."
Oliver's face was the picture of solemnness, yet his eyes flashed with resentment.
That b*stard, Darryl Darby! Oliver could not have wished harder for his downfall. Why
would he save Darryl at all?
Yet, Oliver turned to shout at Grunt in a falsely threatening tone. "General Grunt, since
you've let Leia go, let Honorable Master Darby go as well."

Grunt was a cunning man. He understood Oliver's intentions instantly. He smirked coldly, voice firm as steel. "Letting Lady
Leia go was already an act of great generosity. Don't push it."
Grunt cast a cold glance in Oliver's direction.
'Darryl probably thought I was going to let him go, didn't he?'
"What's the meaning of this?" Oliver frowned, displeasure written all over his face. Yet internally, he positively jumped with
glee. It felt too good to be pranking Darryl like that.
Grunt's expression was stone cold as he turned to face Oliver. "Nothing. You must understand that Darryl is the Nine
Heavens Sage, and I must bring him to see the Nine Heaven Emperor. I'd advise you not to anger me.
You're no match for me at all."
Grunt turned to face the soldiers around him. "Oliver wishes to take Darryl Darby away. Do you agree to let him do that?"
"Not at all!"
The soldiers called out in denial instantly, their cries ringing through the clouds.
Leia trembled, panic flooding her senses. She turned to Oliver, pleading,' Oliver, you have to save Honorable Master Darby."
Oliver sighed, putting on an air of disappointment. "You heard him, Leia. Grunt doesn't want to hand Darryl Darby over.
There's nothing I can do about that."
