Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 4118

"I—"

Mona walked out slowly. Her features were flushed red in embarrassment as she spoke in a barely audible whisper. "I went to see Darryl Darby that night. I wanted to see the Power of Bird Ancestor for myself."

Mona was far from fond of Darryl, but she was a straightforward person and did not want any misunderstandings.

After all, whatever happened that night had been mainly her fault.

Colori Phoenix shook her head. "You're far too young to understand those things, Mona. Of course, you would not know what the Power of Bird Ancestor was capable of doing. Darryl Darby might have been wounded, but he held the Power of Bird Ancestor. He was perfectly capable of controlling it.

"What I'm saying is that if Darryl Darby had not wanted the Power of Bird Ancestor to catch fire, he could have put it out in no time at all. He watched your clothes burn on purpose."

Colori Phoenix cast a look around her. "Darryl Darby's actions that night were all done on purpose."

Mona took a deep breath. She trembled with rage.

If Colori Phoenix's words were true, Darryl must have been pretending that night. He could have put out the flame sparked by the Power of Bird Ancestor with hardly any trouble but chose to watch as her clothes caught fire.

"That b*stard!"

The White Tiger King's features shifted as he could no longer contain his anger. He slammed on his throne furiously, standing up in a swift move to roar, "I can't believe I treated that Darryl Darby with such respect, only for him to make a move on my daughters. Despicable!'

"We respected him so much, too! If I see him again, I'll have his head for sure."

"Exactly! Disgusting perverts like that deserve to die, no less!"

The other leaders in the stone palace expressed their outrage as well, speaking angrily.

Oliver pretended to share their rage, but he could hardly contain the excitement in his heart. Toward the end, he could no longer hold back his smile.

He had succeeded in shifting the blame entirely onto Darryl. Of course, he had Colori Phoenix to thank for that as well.

Everyone around was too occupied, and no one noticed the look on his face.

Well, except for the Black Tortoise King, who frowned to himself. Could there be more to the situation? Why else would his son look so gleeful?

"Everyone!"

The White Tiger King returned to his throne. As he cast a look around the room, he said, "I hereby announce that it is with great shame that the Demon tribe will sever all contact with Darryl Darby starting from today onward. His well-being, and anything to do with him, will no longer concern us."

The more Oliver thought about it as he walked out of the stone palace, the more worried he got.

……

Meanwhile, over at the fiend camp.

Archfiend Antigonus was furious that his plan to blackmail the Nine Heaven Emperor into surrendering had failed. He ordered the Fiend Martyrs to figure out how to break the Innate Formations.

The Fiend Martyrs' skills hardly matched Archfiend Antigonus'. If Archfiend Antigonus had failed to break the formation, of course, they would not be able to do that either.

Archfiend Antigonus's rage grew.

"Honorable Archfiend !"

Just then, Yooda walked out. By a stroke of sheer dumb courage, he said, "Instead of spending all our time on trying to break those formations, we should be thinking of another way to do that."

"Do you have a plan in mind?" Archfiend Antigonus frowned impatiently.

Yooda paused to think before continuing slowly. "I just received news that the Demon tribe just moved to new territory. They took down a good number of our warriors while moving. I'm thinking of bringing a team to search for their new territory and then force them to succumb to us."
