Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 4164

However, General Grunt did not leave, and instead, he remained standing, but he was hesitant to speak.

The letter he passed to the Nine Heaven Emperor was given to him by Solar General, who got it from Darryl. Moreover, General Grunt had taken the credit. Sooner or later, the Nine Heaven Emperor would find out the truth. Then, he would not forgive him. How could General Grunt remain calm?

Seeing General Grunt standing still, the Nine Heaven Emperor frowned. "Why are you still standing there? Is there anything else?"

General Grunt pondered and he looked hesitant to speak. "Your Majesty, there's something that I'm uncertain whether I should tell you."

The Nine Heaven Emperor sighed and grunted, "Hurry up. Stop beating around the bush."

General Grunt nodded and looked conflicted as he said, "I heard that Darryl surrendered himself to the fiend race."

The Nine Heaven Emperor's eyes flickered with coldness and remained silent.

General Grunt added, "Your Majesty, at the Sealed Fiend Mountain, it was my fault for not stopping Darryl in time and causing him to be trapped in the blood sacrifice. I thought he was really dead. Then, when Archfiend Antigonus brought him to threaten you, I thought he was an impersonator."

He spoke eloquently and at the same time, he was observing the changes in the Nine Heaven Emperor's face.

The Nine Heaven Emperor had a straight face. When Archfiend Antigonus used Darryl to threaten him, he had already realized that it was the real Darryl. However, for the sake of his dignity and the safety of the Imperial Sky Palace, the Nine Heaven Emperor had not expressed his opinion.

Until General Grunt suddenly appeared and claimed that he was just an impersonator, the Nine Heaven Emperor then adopted his point of view without hesitation.

That way, he had protected his dignity and also the Imperial Sky Palace.

At that moment, General Grunt had once again brought up that incident. The Nine Heaven Emperor was not a fool and said, "Based on what you said, back then it was really Darryl and now he has surrendered himself to the fiend race?"

General Grunt nodded and pretended. "Yes. I assume that Darryl saw we didn't save him and even claimed that he was an impersonator. He must have held a grudge against us and that's why he surrendered to the fiend race."

"I heard many rumors that Archfiend Antigonus would break into the Imperial Sky Palace sooner or later. They even said, instead of going against the fiend race, we should just surrender now."

Hearing that, the Nine Heaven Emperor became infuriated and his eyes flickered with rage. "Who's spreading these rumors? Despicable! That person deserves to die."

Sabotaging the spirit of the military was taboo during a war. How could the Nine Heaven Emperor remain calm?

General Grunt was shocked by the Nine Heaven Emperor's anger and quickly said, "Your Majesty, don't be angry. These rumors have been going around the Imperial Sky Palace, so I've been investigating them. But, as I was looking into the mater, I unexpectedly discovered something."

"What is it?" The Nine Heaven Emperor had a dull look on his face as he was still raging.

General Grunt inhaled deeply and said, "I found out that Solar General has been secretly meeting Darryl. I'm guessing that Solar General lost his confidence in the Imperial Sky Palace and wants Darryl to be his referral to surrender to the fiend race after seeing him do that."
