The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 4097

Chapter 4097

"Honorable Master Darby!

Leia cried in shock at the scene before her, worry written all over her features.

Grunt's gaze on Darryl hardened as he spoke with barely-concealed satisfaction. "What else have you got? Come on, bring it all out before you lose your chance."

As he spoke, Grunt landed swiftly at the cave entrance. He gripped the golden spear in his hand, taking his time to make his way toward Darryl.

F*ck! 1

Seeing Grunt approach filled Darryl with an unspeakable rage, yet there was also helplessness.

"Stop!"

Before he could reach any closer, a cry had sounded through the air. Leia had appeared in front of Darryl in one swift move, blocking him with her figure.

"You shall not harm Honorable Master Darby as long as I am here." Leia stared Grunt dead in the eye, her exquisite features hardened with determination.

Leia knew that her skills were no match for Grunt's, and she would hardly be able to take even three attacks. Yet, she had no choice. Darryl was a hero to the Demon Warrior Tribe, as well as the man she liked. She could not just stand idly by and watch as Grunt killed him.

"Leia!"

Darryl was torn between feeling touched and panicked. He said, "This is not your battle. Please get out of the way."

Leia stood frozen on the spot, devoid of hesitation or the will to move. Darryl was very much touched by that, but that fight was a personal grievance between him and Grunt. He could not drag her into it, and he also knew that she would be no match for Grunt.

Leia refused to move. With an expression of steel determination, she said,' Don't worry, Honorable Master Darby. I won't let any harm come to you."

Darryl did not know what to do with her insistence.

"Tsk, tsk..."

Grunt could not help the smirk he let out as well, mocking Darryl. "You're quite the man, Darryl. There seem to be women willing to throw themselves in front of you wherever you go. The great Nine Heaven Sage, relying on a lady to fight for him. Would you be able to live that down?"

Grunt bristled with rage as he thought of Princess Dorothy.

F*ck! Darryl had taken the girl of his dreams from him, and then he had gotten into an entanglement with the White Tiger King's daughter. There was no way he could let a b*stard like that live, he had to get rid of him 1

However, Darryl remained silent with a cold smile.

Grunt's eyes flashed as he looked at Leia. "So you're the White Tiger King's eldest daughter. Lady Leia, let this be a warning that Darryl Darby is nothing but a lustful pervert, and no good will come from helping him.

"Shut your mouth!"

Leia retaliated at once, saying coldly, ' Honorable Master Darby is a hero to the Demon Warrior tribe, and he's one of the greatest men I know. He's nothing like what you just described."

Leia held her hands up, poised for a fight. Her expression was deathly solemn. "Let it be known now that as long as I am here today, you shall not harm Honorable Master Darby."

Her voice was graceful, but her tone spared no doubt or mercy.

Grunt's face darkened as he flushed an ugly shade of crimson at her words.

He was a distinguished general, greatly treasured by the Nine Heavens Emperor. Would he be subjected to such remarks from a Demon Warrior lady? What would people say if that got out? 2

"Very well."

Grunt smiled smugly, sneering at Leia. "Don't say I didn't try to be nice. I'm not sparing you any mercy just because you're the White Tiger King's daughter. Now get out of the way, or I'll mess you up real bad."

As he finished his sentence, a wave of godly energy emanated from Grunt's body. It rippled through the air, weaving tension into the atmosphere. 2
