Chapter 587 It Feels Good To Die (Part One)
Hailey looked at the face of the man who caught her. At that moment, she almost couldn't believe hereyes. With her voice trembling, she mumbled, "Howard! It's you!"
Howard quickly grabbed Hailey's hand and pushed it aside. As a result, Hailey lost balance and fell tothe ground in an extremely awkward fashion. This caused her cloak to slip off, revealing her scarredneck, which looked so hideous.
"Howard, what on earth do you think you are doing?" Hailey protested at once, giving him a cold glare.At that moment, every fiber of her being was trembling in anger. "Do you have any idea what you aredoing right now? You are protecting your enemy!"
"I can't let you hurt her," Howard answered in a cold voice, without the slightest hint of hesitation on hisface. Even though the person he just threw out was his biological sister, he didn't feel sorry for hurtingher.
"Have you forgotten who started all of this and brought us into this miserable situation? Why do you stillwant to protect that bitch?" Hailey cried out in anger. Hearing Howard's response came as a greatshock to her. Deep in her heart, she thought that he would be on her side and that he hated Harpermore than her, so he was probably more eager to kill her. But the truth happened to be the exactopposite, as he actually saved Harper.
With her arms crossed in front of her chest, Harper quietly watched as the two siblings argued, lookingas though she was interested in such a farce. "It seems to me that the person who behaved like me atthe royal banquet had been taught by none other than you," she firmly said.
"Humph! So what? Do you seriously believe that you can still go back? Harper, let me tell yousomething. There's no way I'm letting you go that easily now that you've finally come here!" Haileysuddenly blurted out as if she recalled something.
"Well, it seems that we are thinking the same thing," Harper said, pushing Howard aside as shestepped forward. At that moment, every move she made was so elegant and graceful. "I also wasn'tplanning to let you go that easily today, even if he tries to stop me."
"Do you honestly think you can stop me all by yourself?" Hailey asked, curling her lips as she got upfrom the ground. After leaving the Chu Clan, she had never been idle at all. From the very start, shehad been thinking of ways to make Harper's life a living hell. Thus, she trained so hard to improve herstrength and fighting ability. In her mind, she thought that Harper had simply been living her life inluxury, so she wouldn't be capable of resisting her. For that reason, Hailey firmly believed that as longas Howard wouldn't lend her a hand, she would definitely be able to kill Harper with ease.
"Yes, I'm perfectly capable of doing that," Harper flatly answered. Then, she said to Howard, "You stayout of this. This is about the grudge between us. We need to settle this matter by ourselves."
Hearing this, Howard couldn't help but frown. "If something bad happens to you, how am I supposed toexplain it to him?" Cold as a snake, he was only thinking about himself. Harper likened him to a viper.There was no better way of describing him.
"You don't have to tell him anything. Don't forget this. I am not just some weak woman," Harper said.Moving forward step by step, she was brimming with elegance. However, the more she acted this way,the more furious Hailey became.
"Bitch, you should go to hell!" Hailey screamed her lungs out as she went straight for one of Harper'svital parts. But just as she was about to reach her hand out, a rattan suddenly flew in from the window,binding her wrist. This caught Hailey off guard, leaving her stunned for a second. But she managed topull herself together right away, waving the dagger onto her other hand to try to free herself from therattan. To her dismay, another rattan flew in, binding her other arm as well.
"What are these? What did you just do?" Hailey asked, sounding so furious as she struggled to breakfree.
"I didn't do anything," Harper slowly said. "But it should be enough to kill you."
As she looked at Hailey who was hung in the air, the smile on Harper's face disappeared. "Hailey,you're the only person I've ever really wanted to rip into shreds so far. Today, you won't be leaving thisplace. No one can save you now."
"You are such a heartless bitch! You bitch! Go to hell! Karma will come and get you!" Hailey cried out.Her guts were telling her that she was in such a dangerous situation right now.
"Yes, I know I am heartless. But do you think I care? And I have already died once. To be honest, itactually feels good to die. You will experience it very soon. That being said, I'm not sure whether you'llbe lucky or not. When I died last time, the king of hell saw me and thought that I was so beautiful thathe didn't have the heart to keep me there. So, he allowed me to come back. If the king of hell sees you,I don't think he will do the same because you're not really beautiful enough. Even if you are notsupposed to die so young, he may want to keep you shackled there when he sees your ugly face,"Harper said mockingly.
The corner of Howard's lips twitched when he heard those words. This was the first time he had everwitnessed how narcissistic Harper could be. She could even spout such jokes at a time like this. Withhis eyes fixated on Harper, he realized that she seemed to be rather calm.
"If it wasn't for you ruining my face, I wouldn't have been so disfigured!" Hailey continued screaming.
"Everything in this world has its cause and effect. Your current ending is simply a result of all the thingsyou have done," Harper said. Then, as she slowly raised her hand, a piece of rattan materialized in her
hand and turned into a sharp sword. "I don't want to see you suffering anymore. I'll send you to hell withjust one strike."
Hailey clearly felt the murderous intent emanating from Harper. Even before, she knew full well thatHarper wanted to kill her, but she wanted to kill her as well. But now that she had been caught by her,she was afraid that there would be no escape for her this time.
"Help me!" she yelled out at once to the man who had followed her, trying to ask for his help.
Hearing Hailey's distress call, the man who was entangled with Fred immediately stopped fighting himand hurriedly went to Hailey's rescue. Despite seeing this, Harper didn't even move an inch. When theman was about to reach for Hailey to set her free, a sharp rattan pierced through the two of them.
As she looked at the piece of rattan which had pierced her body, Hailey's eyes were wide open inshock. The immense pain rendered her speechless. Then, she shot Harper a malicious glare and spatout two words with difficulty, "You witch!"
"Witch?" Harper echoed in an indifferent tone. Then, she turned around and walked away. "I couldn'tcare less about what you called me. In any case, I'm doing you the favor of letting you two dietogether."
Hailey wouldn't be able to rest in peace after her death. After all, she couldn't figure out how she waskilled by Harper at all. All she thought was that Harper was a witch who performed dark arts to kill her. novelbin
