Chapter 4148
As a cripple with no legs, Oliver lay on the ground in an embarrassing position.
Oliver never wanted to lose his dignity like that, but he had no choice. He had already surrendered
to the fiends, and there was no turning back.
Oliver glared at Darryl as he begged for mercy.
Darryl wanted to take the opportunity to kill Oliver, and Oliver could not afford to let Darryl succeed.
Darryl pretended to look around with a relaxed expression on his face when faced with Oliver's
hostility.
Morticia was unmoved, and her expression remained cold.
"Your Excellency!"
Oliver was utterly flustered. He continued to kowtow and said with tears in his eyes, "I'm loyal to
you. Think about it. The White Tiger King's daughter wounded me gravely. Why would I collude with
them and be disloyal to you? What happened just now was an accident."
After thinking for a while, Oliver said, ' Besides, you haven't caught the demons yet. I can still be
useful to you, right?"
Oliver's eyes were full of expectation and pleading.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMorticia sighed when she felt Oliver's sincerity, and her face softened a little. She said
gently, "Well, for the sake of your sincerity, I will spare you this time."
Morticia did not want to keep Oliver alive, but she thought Oliver was right.
He could still be useful to her since they had yet to find the demons. He only needed
another chance.
"Thank you, Your Excellency!" Oliver was delighted and kowtowed even more to express
his gratitude.
"But..."
However, at that time, Morticia changed the subject. She looked at Oliver and said
indifferently, "You don't need to interfere in the investigation of their new territory. From
now onward, we shall follow Darryl's arrangement, including you. Do you understand?"
Morticia looked firm and unquestionable as she said that.
The fact that Darryl stopped the action in time fully showed his capability and ability as an
excellent leader. She thought it would be best to let him take the lead on their
investigation.
As for Oliver, he had been too greedy to think critically to make the right decisions.
What?
Oliver was shocked. He looked at Morticia and then at Darryl. He was stunned and could
not say anything, and his heart filled with anger.
She wanted him to listen to Darryl's arrangement? There was no way he would do that.
Oliver was about to protest.
However, when she saw the change in his expression, Morticia did not give Oliver a
chance to speak at all. She said coldly, "That is an order. You have no choice in this matter.
Don't forget that I just spared your life. Be grateful.
Morticia turned around and stood up.
Oliver fell to the ground once again. He wanted to cry, but there were no tears.
'’Alright!"
Darryl took a deep breath and gathered the fiend soldiers around him. He smiled and said,
"From now on, everyone has to listen to my orders closely. Don't make any mistakes."
As he spoke, he divided the fiend soldiers into four teams and entered the formation from four
directions, respectively. That was the right way to break the formation.
Sure enough, under Darryl's command, the fiend soldiers began to clean up the wooden stakes and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmstones in the area. Everything went smoothly, and there were no sudden movements with the wood
and stones.
Morticia, standing nearby, could not help but nod in approval.
Darryl was right. With his help, the fiends could break through the Sky Imperial Palace in no time.
"As for you..."
Darryl turned his head and looked at Oliver, lying on the ground. He said with a faint smile, "Go and
clean up the dirty water and see if there is any hidden pathway there."
Darryl pointed to a nearby ditch.
The ditch was full of mud and other filthy things; it was black in color and pungent in odor.
Oliver's face paled, and his heart was instantly filled with anger. 'D*mn it! Does Darryl want to take
revenge with the excuse of work? After all, I'm the son of the Black Tortoise King. How can I clean the
wastewater?'
Oliver was not convinced and protested. "Darryl, don't go too far. How can
I clean the ditch when I'm like this?"
Darryl chuckled and said slowly, "That is the perfect job for a cripple like you. Just as you said, you
have to check all the places here. If there is a secret passage and we miss it, can you bear the
consequences?"
