Chapter 907 Separated For Different Missions (Part One)
Toby dispatched a number of his soldiers to keep a close eye on the Dragon Pass. In order to avoidbeing exposed, he specifically told them to camp at a far distance. Unfortunately, the soldiers stayed sofar back that they couldn't see clearly what Shawn and his people were doing outside the city gates.Because of that, they thought they were simply cleaning up the battlefield.
"Your Highness, at dawn, Shawn brought some soldiers to the battlefield to clean it up. They threw allthe corpses and amputated limbs into a pit and buried them there," reported one soldier as soon as hecame back.
"Hypocrite. If he hates to see such a scene, why would he use a weapon so destructive in the firstplace?" Toby scoffed.
"Your Highness, shall we advance toward the enemy lines?" the general leading the army asked.
"Move ahead. We must find out today what the hell Shawn is doing!"
Harper and Matthew were still trying to escape the Great Jade Kingdom, and in the process, attemptingto eliminate the killers that were sent after them. They seemed to be not able to shake them off, andsoon, Harper understood why: she must be the reason why they kept finding them out. With that, agrim expression graced her face.
"Harp, Rolando said you were poisoned. Is that true?" It was a question that was eating Matthew upfrom the inside. However, Harper looked unharmed, so he was beginning to doubt what Rolando hadtold him.
"I wasn't poisoned. I was drugged with poisonous insects. He put it on the Heavenly Book, to be surethat I get it to my system. But it's not a big deal, Matthew. I used my spiritual power to seal it up. Theunfortunate thing is, there's no way for me to remove it," Harper explained, pointing at her elixir field.
Matthew's face became grim. "Rolando also told me that if you go too far away from him, your lifewould be in danger."
"And you believed him? At this point in time, Rolando might be coming up to the Dragon Pass. If whathe said was true, the poison would have already worked and I would have died by now. But I'm stillalive, aren't I?" Harper asked with a smile.novelbin
"Are you sure you're okay, Harp?" Matthew asked, sounding extremely concerned.
"I'm all right, Matthew. You don't have to worry. I just don't know how to get rid of this Deathly Kalpainside of me but my life isn't threatened. Believe me." Harper held Patrick in her arms. "Anyway, as Isaid, Rolando is already on his way to the Dragon Pass. Even though I have prepared something forShawn in advance, I'm afraid it won't last too long. Because of that, we need to get separated here.You'll go to the Dragon Pass, and I'll go meet Kile."
"No way." Matthew wouldn't let Harper travel alone no matter what. "Kile is a rascal. If you go to seehim alone, I'm afraid he may hurt you!" he rejected at once.
"Matthew, not everyone in the world is Rolando," Harper responded calmly.
"Harper, even without Rolando, there is still Francis hidden in the dark."
Harper sighed helplessly. "Without Becky, Francis can't do anything to me. Besides, I'm not alone. Ihave bodyguards with me."
"The twelve secret guards are of no use, you know that."
Upon hearing that, Zorro silently stepped aside. The twelve secret guards were indeed of no use. Eventhough they were with the princess when Rolando took her away, they were able to do nothing butwatch.
"Matthew, stop it. Kile is not bad, so stop making him out to be someone like that. And if you're afraidthat he'll do something to me, trust me, no. I am not gold—not everyone likes me. And even if I amgold, there will always be someone who wouldn't like me," Harper said, vexed.
Matthew didn't share the same thinking. His wife was a charming lady, and he knew that once men laidtheir eyes on her, she would be their object of affection. Hell, he even wanted to hide her at home andnever let anyone see her! Now, especially after everything that happened between her and Rolando, hepromised himself that he wouldn't dare let her go to the Wonder Kingdom alone. Moreover, Kile was abastard who wanted to woo every beautiful woman he saw!
"I have been a good friend of Kile for years, Matthew. He does that just to protect himself," Harpercontinued. She believed in Kile. The imperial family of the Wonder Kingdom was by no means a lovingfamily. If Kile did not disguise himself as a playboy without any interest in power, he would have beenkilled by the other princes because he lacked power and backing support.
Of course, Matthew knew that Kile was just pretending. That was the reason why he just couldn't let hiswife near him. How could he leave his wife all alone with a cunning wolf?
"My brother is also in the Wonder Kingdom!" Harper finally said.
"Howard Chu?" asked Matthew slowly.
"Yes."
"Well, if that's the case, let's get on with your plan. After I deal with Rolando, I'll go to the WonderKingdom to find you." With Howard around, any man who wanted to flirt with Harper would give it asecond thought.
Harper didn't expect Matthew to change his mind so quickly, but she didn't want to inquire further. "I'llmeet you in the Dragon Pass after I get the Sacred Seal."
"Take care."
Harper nodded her head and turned away. Before she went on her way, she turned around and said,"Felton is already at the Dragon Pass. If you need anything, just go find him. I believe he can help you."
Immediately, the image of the sickly man filled Matthew's head. Felton was in such a bad shape thatanyone wouldn't be able to help himself but feel sorry for him. Despite that, he knew better than tounderestimate him and his skills.
"I understand. The twelve secret guards will keep protecting you. I'll also ask Fred to go with you."
"You won't have people to protect you if you do that."
"I still have three guys with me. I just... couldn't feel secure leaving you with the twelve secret guards. Ineed someone competent to accompany you," Matthew said casually. Zorro, once again, elected toremain silent. If the prince thought that, he couldn't argue back.
