Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 2397

'For a man as despicable as Zhang Jue, death is the only thing he deserves,' Darryl thought with an emotionless face.

The North Moana army's soldiers and generals, on the other hand, were restless. Many had wanted to interfere but were far too intimidated by Lu Dongbin to step forward. Zhang Jue fell to his knees; he knew that he could not turn the situation around anymore.

"My own ambition blinded me. I was wrong; please have mercy..." Zhang Jue was helpless; he had never imagined himself in such a situation where he would be villainized and landed in such a vulnerable state. If only Yang Jian were around, he would not have to fear Lu Dongbin. However, he was not there, so he could not rely on anyone.

Dax snorted in disdain; he turned to look at Chang Er, who hovered in the air. Whatever the circumstances, Dax did not belong to the North Moana continent. No matter Zhang Jue's offenses, he was still the North Moana continent's commander. Chang Er should decide his fate.

Instantly, all eyes were on Chang Er with anticipation. Zhang Jue's life hung by the tread, and Chang Er was the only one who could either save or kill him.

A man as cunning as Zhang Jue was no fool. He realized that, and so he immediately turned to Chang Er. He kowtowed and pleaded with her. "This humble man is here to greet your ladyship. My sincerest apologies for the incivility earlier. Please have mercy on me..."

Chang Er sighed when she saw Zhang Jue's sincerity; it seemed like the man had given up. She said gently, "Very well, you may rise. Since you are aware of your wrongdoings, I will spare your life. But this will be your last chance. Be wise with it, or I will have your head." Chang Er turned to look at Darryl before she said, "Zhang Jue, from that moment onward, you will assist Darryl Darby and contribute fully to the cause of defeating the Raksasa Tribe. You mustn't act against him, am I understood?"

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Chaotic Mountain Range, a monk strode swiftly ahead in the woods approximately a dozen kilometers away; he dragged an enormous stone chest along the way. With a dark expression, his attractive features were stunning and yet somehow evil-looking. The monk was Donoghue.

Indeed, Donoghue had captured more than a dozen people to decipher the ancient wordings on the stone chest. After that, Jack Trevor from the Mouse Sect had managed to discover the information about a hidden treasure, which could be the key to unlocking the box. The other treasure was located next to the Chaotic Mountain Range.

Motivated by the news, Donoghue immediately headed for the Chaotic Mountain Range. However, he found nothing in his search in the area with a radius of over a hundred kilometers. Apart from Raksasa and the Nine Mainland military camps, the woods he was in was the only place left to search.
