Noticing Oliver, Darryl did greet him warmly. "What are you doing here?"
"What did you tell my father after he woke up?" Oliver said.
Given his bad temper, the Black Tortoise King would never agree to meet Archfiend Antigonus. However, after speaking to Darryl, he met Archfiend Antigonus which was out of character.
Oliver never intended to question Darryl, but when he attacked the Black Tortoise King, he used it to threaten the Black Tortoise race to surrender to the fiend race. That made Oliver feel unsettled and his worry worsened as the Black Tortoise King acted out of character. Therefore, he went to Darryl to clarify the situation.
'What a fool.' Darryl chuckled and said, "I only advised the Black Tortoise King to surrender to Archfiend Antigonus. What else can I say?"
'Oliver has become a puppet of the fiend race. My plan with the Black Tortoise King is a secret, so why would I tell him?' Darryl thought.
Oliver did not believe Darryl and scoffed. "Do you think I'm stupid? I know my father's personality very well. How could he have easily surrendered himself to Archfiend Antigonus? I bet there's something going on between the two of you."
'D*mn it. What?' Darryl frowned and did not want to speak to him any longer. "It's up to you to believe me or not. If you'd like to, you can ask your father. Stop bugging me."
Then, he walked out of the tent instantly.
At that moment, Oliver felt embarrassed after being ignored by Darryl and turned red in the face. However, he was further assured of the existence of a secret between Darryl and the Black Tortoise King.
Quickly, Oliver gathered his thoughts and murmured to himself as he watched Darryl walk away, "No matter what you and my father are planning, I'll find out and when I do, get ready for your doomsday, Darryl."
Then, he pushed the wheelchair out of the tent.
A few hours later, the sky gradually darkened. Darryl informed the Black Tortoise King and they snuck out of the fiend race camp in the dark. They walked towards the Imperial Sky Palace.
As Darryl approached the Imperial Sky Palace, he was baffled by what appeared before him and he did not know how to react.
The entire Imperial Sky Palace was guarded by tens of thousands of Grand Weapons and generals with four lines of defense. The place was heavily guarded and impenetrable.
A few seconds later, Darryl snapped out of it and started to worry. He certainly could not barge into the Imperial Sky Palace when it was being heavily guarded. The Nine Heaven Emperor had publicly stated that he was an impersonator of Darryl. He might not only end up failing to pass the letter to the Nine Heaven Emperor, but he would also alarm the fiend race.
As he wondered, Darryl could only stroll around to look for opportunities. Suddenly, his eyes flickered and not far away, a patrol team made up of dozens of Grand Weapons walked towards him. The leader looked solemn and charming.
He was Solar General, whom Darryl had once met.
