Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 4499

"Nine Heaven Brat."

Archfiend Antigonus could not be bothered to talk nonsense and said coldly, "Since neither side is sincere, our exchange will be voided."

Buzz!

Then, his figure lunged forward and headed straight for the giant pit.

Archfiend Antigonus darted into the bottom of the deep pit like a shooting star. He grabbed Darryl quickly before returning to where he stood earlier.

As he passed by Empress Nuwa, he grabbed her with the other hand and brought her away too.

"We're leaving!" Archfiend Antigonus yelled toward the group of Fiend Martyrs that included Thoth and Ganon.

After receiving that order, the other Fiend Martyrs followed closely behind Archfiend Antigonus and flew into the distant sky.

When Archfiend Antigonus was high in the sky, he deliberately turned around to taunt the Nine Heaven Emperor. "Oh, Nine Heaven Brat, you're nothing without your Ancient Ancestor. Remember this—the Godly Region will perish when the fiend race makes a comeback."

The Nine Heaven Emperor was alarmed and angry when he heard that. He was about to command his officials to pursue them, but they were a step too slow, for Archfiend Antigonus and the others disappeared in a flash.

"Useless! Utterly useless!"

The Nine Heaven Emperor seethed with anger. His eyes were blood-red as he roared.

The fiends played him like a fiddle. Aside from their failure to get his master's fairy soul, they even allowed their opponents to snatch Darryl away! How could they ever be a match for the fiends when they lost their sole bargaining chip?

Rumble!

The Nine Heaven Emperor's rage continued to build up. He raised his hand suddenly and struck a hillside not far away, razing it to the ground with a rumble.

His officials sensed his wrath and trembled in fear. They were all afraid to even breathe too heavily.

"Your Majesty!"

A few seconds later, Lunaris General stepped forward slowly and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, you shouldn't be so irritated. It is not a complete failure. Empress Nuwa is still hiding amongst the fiends. We will most certainly turn the situation around."

All the other officials nodded in agreement once they heard that statement.

The Nine Heaven Emperor took a deep breath after hearing Lunaris General's consolation. His anger subsided greatly, and he waved his hand. "Bring Master Magaera back to the Imperial Sky Palace."

He had to ensure Master Magaera's safety since the man was his right-hand man.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

......

Archfiend Antigonus's eyes flickered, and he turned to the unconscious Darryl. He frowned and said, "What a lucky kid. Even the explosion from the Soul Requiem Stone failed to kill him."

He felt a little distressed when he made that statement. The Soul Requiem Stone was the fiend race's treasure, and it was such a shame that it had to be destroyed.

Nevertheless, they managed to capture Darryl, so it was not that much of a loss.

"Your Excellency!"

Thoth stepped forward and said in a sullen voice, "Isn't it too big of a price to pay to lose the Soul Requiem Stone even though we got Darryl?"

Archfiend Antigonus shook his head and explained, "The Innate Spirit Stone's prophecy will never be wrong. That man is our biggest obstacle in dominating the Godly Region. Destroying him is a must, regardless of what price we have to pay.

"A single Soul Requiem Stone is a small price to pay for the future of our race."

Gasp!

Thoth nodded. "You're right, Your Excellency."

'So that's the case.'

Empress Nuwa, who had retreated to one side, was shocked to see the scene.
