However, Mona could not watch any longer and rushed to the White Tiger King. "Father, what are you doing? He's–"
As she spoke, she turned to Darryl in shock. 'What's Darryl doing?' Though he feared General Grunt, this is the demon's territory and General Grunt's brought less than a thousand of Grand Weapons and generals. What's there to be afraid of?'
Before she could complete her sentence, the White Tiger King yelled, "Be quiet! You've been out searching the whole day and you must be tired now. Go in and rest."
Mona then pouted and remained silent after being reprimanded by the White Tiger King.
"General Grunt, I'm so sorry for ignoring you earlier." The White Tiger King turned around and smiled.
General Grunt snapped out of it and forced a smile. "It's alright."
As he spoke, he looked at Darryl and asked, "This is…?"
He figured that person must have a high status among the demons that even the White Tiger King would kneel before him.
The White Tiger King looked over and laughed. "Commander, you have no idea. This is the hero of the demons. He has contributed to the demons more than I did. Therefore, even I had to kneel to him."
The White Tiger King was intelligent and made up a story as a cover story. As soon as he learned of the conflict between Darryl and General Grunt, he thought he should send General Grunt away. However, he had to play it by ear as Darryl did not give him any instructions.
In the end, the White Tiger King instructed Leia and said, "Quick. Bring the hero to nurse his wounds."
"Yes, Gather!" Immediately, Leia called for people to bring Darryl to the back of the stone castle to rest.
"Commander, it does seem to be a critical situation, but I can't make a decision on my own for such a major event. Although I am the Commander-in-chief among the demons, I still need to call a meeting to discuss it," he said.
He looked serious, but deep down, he had a hint of coldness. The White Tiger King would certainly not simply agree to it. Moreover, he would seek Darryl's opinion.
General Grunt quickly nodded and smiled. "Yes, of course. That is necessary."
The White Tiger King agreed and turned to the Grand Weapons and generals behind him and said, "And, this is the demons' home and there are many restrictions here. So, please bring your people to the forest outside of the territory and set up your tents there."
General Grunt was stunned and displeased. 'The White Tiger King is such a snob. We're about to become allies but he still refuses to give us a place to rest and he's telling us to leave the territory?'
However, he did not express his dissatisfaction and only nodded. Then, he gathered the Grand Weapons and generals to the forest outside the territory and set up tents to rest.
