Chapter 4120
That was far from what the Black Tortoise King had wanted to happen. Oliver was his son, after all. However, if he did not
do that and the truth was exposed in the future, the Black Tortoise King would never be able to look any of the Demon tribe
members in the eye again.
Darryl was the Demon tribe's hero. Oliver had framed him for a heinous crime, an act of blatant disrespect to the Demon
tribe. That was a big problem.
"Father!"
Since the Black Tortoise King was about to leave, Oliver grew desperate. He lunged forward, grabbing his father by the leg,
crying and begging. "I beg you, Father. I don't want to be sentenced and punished. I don't want to die!"
Oliver truly feared for his life. He had never imagined that his father would make such a decision. Framing Darryl was a
crime worthy of a public sentence, and the consequences were unthinkable.
The Black Tortoise King remained unmoving toward his son's begging. He said coldly, "You should have thought of that
before you framed Honorable Master Darby, then!"
The Black Tortoise King's face was positively ashen, wrought with resentment as he spoke. "You really disappointed me this
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttime, Oliver. Honorable Master Darby rescued the entire Demon tribe, and that is how you repay him? Even if I were to
forgive you, do you think the White Tiger King and the other leaders would do the same?
"What will become of the Black Tortoise tribe if I cover for you like this?"
"Please don't, Father!" Oliver was losing it, kneeling as he kowtowed into the ground over
and over again. "Think how sad Mother would be if you were to hand me out. I know I
made a mistake this time, Father, please give me a chance, just one chance!"
Oliver had the most pitiful expression on his face, and he had brought up his mother. The
Black Tortoise King took a deep breath, his gaze softening immediately.
Oliver's mother had been the love of the Black Tortoise King's life. Yet she had been cursed
with ill fortune and contracted a terminal illness when Oliver was very young. The Black
Tortoise King had combed for every healer he could find, but to no avail. Regretfully,
Oliver's mother died where the Demon tribe had been held captive.
The Black Tortoise King had always felt remorse toward Oliver over that.
"Fine!"
After a brief silence, the Black Tortoise King finally spoke. "I'll forgive you just this once."
"Thank you, Father." Oliver could hardly contain his relief. He made a move to stand up.
However, when he saw the look on his father's face, he sank back down onto his knees
almost immediately.
'I may forgive you, but the White Tiger King and the other leaders would never do the
same." The Black Tortoise King's expression was ice-cold, completely unmoving. "If you
wish to stay alive, you must redeem yourself before Leia wakes up."
Redeem himself?
Oliver’s heart thudded uncomfortably. "What do you mean, Father?"
The Black Tortoise King was about to respond when a loud sound came from the new
territory entrance. The sound was only heard when there was a huge announcement in
the Demon tribe.
The Black Tortoise King began heading toward the stone palace with Oliver at his heels
without sparing any hesitation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe White Tiger King and the other leaders had arrived at the stone palace. They had
solemn looks on their faces.
"What happened?" the Black Tortoise King asked.
Oliver stood at the side dutifully, trying to suppress the unease in his heart. That was a stark contrast to the relief and joy
he had felt just before.
The White Tiger King exhaled softly, staring at the Black Tortoise King. ’ There's just been news that Yooda, one of Archfiend
Antigonus's Fiend Martyrs, is headed to our new territory with an army of 5000 fiend warriors." He cast a gaze around the
crowd. "This is a matter of great seriousness. We must send a warrior to distract Yooda, or we'll have nowhere to hide once
our new territory is discovered."
The other leaders nodded.
Yooda was one of the twelve Fiend Martyrs and was a terrifyingly powerful warrior. The mission of distracting him to another
place would be a dangerous one. One wrong move and one would not survive it.
Just then, the Black Tortoise King looked around. His gaze finally landed on Oliver. "Let Oliver do it."
The Black Tortoise King's eyes flashed as he spoke, an unreadable expression on his face.
That was the Black Tortoise King's way of helping Oliver redeem himself. Framing Darryl was a colossal crime, and only an
outstanding achievement would give Oliver any chance at the Demon tribe's forgiveness.
