The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 2397

For a man as despicable as Zhang Jue, death is the only thing he deserves,’ Darryl thought with an emotionless face.

The North Moana army’s soldiers and generals, on the other hand, were restless. Many had wanted to interfere but were far too intimidated by Lu Dongbin to step forward. Zhang Jue fell to his knees; he knew that he could not turn the situation around anymore.

“My own ambition blinded me. I was wrong; please have mercy…” Zhang Jue was helpless; he had never imagined himself in such a situation where he would be villainized and landed in such a vulnerable state. If only Yang Jian were around, he would not have to fear Lu Dongbin. However, he was not there, so he could not rely on anyone.

Dax snorted in disdain; he turned to look at Chang Er, who hovered in the air.

Whatever the circumstances, Dax did not belong to the North Moana continent. No matter Zhang Jue’s offenses, he was still the North Moana continent’s commander. Chang Er should decide his fate.

Instantly, all eyes were on Chang Er with anticipation. Zhang Jue’s life hung by the tread, and Chang Er was the only one who could either save or kill him.

A man as cunning as Zhang Jue was no fool. He realized that, and so he immediately turned to Chang Er. He kowtowed and pleaded with her. “This humble man is here to greet your ladyship. My sincerest apologies for the incivility earlier. Please have mercy on me…”

Chang Er sighed when she saw Zhang Jue’s sincerity; it seemed like the man had given up. She said gently, “Very well, you may rise. Since you are aware of your wrongdoings, I will spare your life. But this will be your last chance. Be wise with it, or I will have your head.” Chang Er turned to look at Darryl before she said, “Zhang Jue, from that moment onward, you will assist Darryl Darby and contribute fully to the cause of defeating the Raksasa Tribe. You mustn’t act against him, am I understood?”

Zhang Jue’s heart stopped at the order; he doubted his ears. ‘What?! She wants me to assist Darryl Darby? How can a man with my talents follow Darryl Darby, who is merely a junior?’ he thought to himself. Instantly, his face reddened with reluctance.

Chang Er observed Zhang Jue’s face with watchful eyes and immediately noticed his disinclination. “Why? Are you not willing to do so?” she questioned in annoyance.
