Chapter 4177
At that moment, Darryl could not help but wonder if he would be suspected of leaking the secret.
'Probably not. I was cautious when I left the fiend race camp and no one saw me. Archfiend Antiognus probably won't suspect me,' he thought.
Suddenly, Yooda punched his fist into the wall and shouted, "Despicable! If I find out who leaked the secret, I'll torture them." 1
He was extremely infuriated.
Ninety percent of the fiend race armies were sacrificed in the war and less than 20,000 of them were left. No one else would be able to remain calm after such a blood bath.
Immediately, the other Fiend Martyrs and the fiend race warriors started to murmur among themselves.
"Yooda was right. We must find the traitor."
"Yes. We must investigate."
'The traitor caused US a crushing defeat. We cannot forgive him."
Yooda and the other Fiend Martyrs were resentful too. As a matter of fact, the fiend race had the upper hand in the war. If it was not for the leaked secret, they would have been throwing a celebratory banquet at the Imperial Sky Palace.
Archfiend Antigonus remained silent and stood deep in thought with a solemn look on his face.
Suddenly, Morticia spoke up, "Everyone, I think the fiend race didn't do it. When Archfiend Antigonus laid out our battle plans, everyone was there and no one left. None of US are suspects."
Then, she turned to Oliver and added, "Based on my assumption, it must be the Black Tortoise King, because after Archfiend Antigonus called for him, he started talking about the battle plan and the Black Tortoise King knows of it. And during the war, the Black Tortoise King abandoned US and escaped. This proves he's only pretending to be loyal to US. All of these signs tell US the Black Tortoise King is the biggest suspect. Perhaps, it was him who told the Nine Heaven Emperor about our plan."
Then, she glanced around her and everyone looked determined.
Yooda and the other Fiend Martyrs nodded in agreement.
"Morticia's right. The Black Tortoise King is acting suspiciously."
"Suspect? It must have been him."
"D*mn it. The demons are unreliable, especially the Black Tortoise King. I could never see eye to eye with him."
Amidst the discussion, everyone was enraged. Meanwhile, Darryl was relieved by this and his mood lightened up.
'Great. How interesting that Morticia thinks the Black Tortoise King was the one who leaked the secret. But it works that way. Everyone will suspect the Black Tortoise King and no one will suspect it's me,' he thought.
He was not worried the fiend race would search for the Black Tortoise King for revenge. After all, they just experienced their greatest defeat and had severely damaged their fairy souls. They would not have the energy to go after the Black Tortoise King. 1
Seeing everyone suspecting the Black Tortoise King, Oliver started panicking. 'F*ck! If it really was my father who did it, it would be hard for me to escape blame. After all, I'm from the Black Tortoise race.'
