Chapter 4183
After getting Empress Heidi's validation, Master Magaera smiled and threw the letter at General
Grunt's feet. There was no bad blood between Master Magaera and General Grunt, so he was
looking to cause problems for him. However, Master Magaera was skeptical and no matter who it
was, if he had identified a problem, he would point it out.
Finally, the Nine Heaven Emperor gathered his thoughts and frowned as he asked coldly, "General
Grunt, what's going on? This paper belongs to the fiend race. Why did you say you used it for official
matters in the Imperial Sky Palace?"
Immediately, General Grunt's face turned pale, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he knelt.
"Your Majesty, I was mistaken earlier. This letter was written by the spy I sent when he snuck into
the fiend race camp. The situation was critical and the spy simply used a paper he found at the fiend
race camp and wrote down the battle plan."
General Grunt was nervous. He had never thought a paper would become a clue. Moreover, it was
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMaster Magaera who discovered it. 'Since I've been found out, I'll just talk my way out of it.'
'Written by the spy?' Hearing that answer, the Nine Heaven Emperor frowned and pondered.
Master Magaera scoffed and there was disbelief on his face. "General
Grunt, stop lying. I know the papers and quills in the fiend race camp are monitored by
designated fiend race warriors. It's impossible for the spy you sent to get past their
defenses and steal the papers."
Then, his eyes sharpened. "There can only be one explanation. This letter was not written
by your spy, but it was leaked from someone inside the fiend race. You just got the letter
by chance. Is that true?"
Seeing Master Magaera guessed the truth, General Grunt panicked and trembled as he
remained on his knees, speechless.
The Nine Heaven Emperor finally understood when he saw General Grunt's reaction. He
was furious, but he held it in due to General Grunt's identity.
He asked softly, "Is that true, General Grunt?"
"Yes..." General Grunt lowered his head to avoid eye contact with the Nine Heaven
Emperor. "Yes. I found the letter when I was patrolling outside the fiend race camp. Your
Majesty, I have wronged you. 1
"After seeing the letter, I was excited. I wanted to get the credit for it, so I lied that it was
written by me. Your Majesty, I was blinded by greed and committed this crime. I beg you
to have mercy and spare me this time." 1
As he spoke, General Grunt was full of sincerity, but deep down, he felt lucky. 'Darryl is not
here and Solar General is dead. As long as I keep the secret, the Nine Heaven Emperor
won't find out the truth. His Majesty will take my lying lightly.' 1
The officials standing around shook their heads in disappointment and contempt.
"So he picked up the letter from somewhere else."
"I thought he was so capable that he received secrets from the fiend race camp."
"I never thought General Grunt, who's always been arrogant, would turn out to be
someone like this. How dare he lie to His Majesty just to gain credit."

The discussion went on while General Grunt remained kneeling, feeling guilty and dismayed.
The Nine Heaven Emperor nodded and looked at General Grunt with rage.' General Grunt, it's good
that you admitted it. I have such high expectations and trust for you. How dare you lie to me."
Sensing the Nine Heaven Emperor's anger, General Grunt trembled and held his breath as he broke
out into a cold sweat.
The Nine Heaven Emperor did not have the heart to punish General Grunt and said, "I'll spare you
this time for admitting to it immediately, but credit will be taken back. You are also no longer the
Grand Marshal."
If this had happened to anyone else, the emperor would have given them a death sentence.
However, he always trusted and favored General Grunt. He did not have the heart to simply take his
life.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for having mercy," General Grunt answered with gratitude.
'Though it's a pity I couldn't become the Grand Marshal, it's a blessing I was spared,' he thought.
