Chapter 4084
Once the incident of him plotting against Darryl had been exposed, the Nine Heaven Emperor would not forgive General Grunt.
However, Oliver remained seated and continued drinking as he chuckled. ’ General Grunt, why are you in a hurry? Darryl is recuperating in the cave and he won't leave anytime soon."
Then, he snickered at General Grunt. "I'm really curious what happened between you and Darryl."
General Grunt scowled and said softly, ‘I don’t think you need to know that."
Darryl snatching Princess Dorothy away from him was the pain of a lifetime. Moreover, that incident involved his dignity and he found it difficult to talk about it.
Hearing what General Grunt said, Oliver shook his head and said disappointedly, "General Grunt, you're wrong. I initiated an alliance and have also been upfront about the conflict between Darryl and me. I think I've shown my utmost sincerity. And you're here trying to cover up the grudges between you and Darryl. How can we work together closely? Since we're becoming allies, we should be upfront with each other. I'll tell my secrets and you'll tell yours. It's only fair that way. What do you think?"
What he said had made so much sense that it was impossible to be refuted. Oliver was rather impulsive, but in fact, he was smart. He knew that he needed to find out General Grunt's secrets in order to ally with him. Otherwise, he could be betrayed at any time.
At that moment, General Grunt took a deep breath and hesitated. Then, he finally agreed. "Fine. Since you put it that way, I won't hide anymore."
Then, he talked about his love for Princess Dorothy and the conflict with Darryl. Needless to say, General Grunt prioritized his dignity and did not say that Darryl had violated Princess Dorothy's purity. He had only informed Oliver that Darryl used lowly methods and forced the Nine Heaven Emperor to marry Princess Dorothy to him.
When he was done speaking, General Grunt clenched his fists and said heartlessly, "Darryl looked like a gentleman on the outside, but deep down, he's a hypocrite. He took Princess Dorothy away from me and I swear I'll make sure he’s doomed. To be honest, it was me who plotted against Darryl at the Sealed Fiend Mountain and caused him to pass out at the blood sacrifice. He even broke one of his legs. That's why he hid his identity and snuck into Miss Mona's troop when he saw me. He knew he would die if I found out it was him."
Then, he looked at Oliver with rage and a cold look in his eyes. He was full of himself and had an incredibly big ego. After Oliver forced him to talk about his secrets, he appeared like he was not bothered, but deep down, he was unhappy.
General Grunt had decided to get rid of Oliver after killing Darryl with his help. The secret between him and Princess Dorothy was rather critical and it should never be exposed.
Little did Oliver know that his forcing General Grunt to tell his secrets had triggered the urge to kill Darryl. Oliver even felt sympathy for General Grunt.
Oliver raised his glass and said, "General Grunt, now that I know your beloved woman was taken away by Darryl, it looks like we’re on the same boat. We should become allies and hereby declare that we shall not stop until we kill Darryl."
General Grunt nodded and laughed. "Yes, we shall not stop until we kill Darryl.”
