Forensic Imperial Concubine

Chapter 931 The Deal (Part Two)

"Your husband, Matthew."

"Not just him." Playing with the long hair on her temples, Harper cast a cold glance at Rolando. "Darrenalso practices it."

"Yes, there are also many people in Phoenix City practicing spiritual power, but most of them are thepeople of your clan who have survived and settled down there," Rolando explained slowly. "I don't hideanything from you. If you want to leave here, you have to pass through the Phoenix City. The key toleave here is the Sacred Seal. You can't leave with only half of it."

"I'm not going to leave here." Harper had a big smile on her face. "I have never planned to leave thisplace. But I think you really want to leave here, even by sacrificing your Great Jade Kingdom."

Rolando was rendered speechless. He indeed wanted to leave here, because this was not the rightplace for him to stay. Harper had always been disguised so well that he could not find the other halfSacred Seal from her. In the end, he had no choice but to kill her. He wouldn't leave this damned placeuntil Harper died and his task was finished.

"So that is to say, we can't reach the deal?" Rolando slowly questioned. "Harper, you are no match forme."

"Of course I know I'm not your match." Harper shrugged helplessly. "That's why I asked someone topick me up."

Rolando was a little shocked, and he stepped back quickly as he sensed an abrupt attack fromnowhere. The place where he stood just now became a crater. If he didn't dodge fast enough, he wouldprobably be seriously injured even if he didn't die.

"Matthew Jun!"

Matthew put his arms around Harper's waist and displayed his love to his wife as if no outsider wasthere. "Honey, I am here to pick you up. Are you happy?"

Harper grinned and said, "Yeah, I'm so happy that I am about to burst into tears!"

"Shouldn't you reward me since you are so happy?" Matthew looked as if Harper should give him thereward right there and then. Thus, she couldn't help laughing, both amused and annoyed by herhusband's behaviors.

"There are still people here," she reminded.

"People? I have never seen anyone except you." Matthew then pressed his lips on hers. After whatseemed ages, he finally released her and said, "I got my reward."

Harper giggled silently. The flirting between the couple became a total ridicule in Rolando's eyes. Headmitted that he liked Harper and thought he held a little place in her heart, but the fact told him that hehad no place in her heart at all.

"You two are just too overweening and arrogant!" The voice of Rolando was cold and murderous."Harper, are you sure that you don't want to cooperate with me? You have to know, it concerns yourlife."

Harper looked at Rolando and said, "There's no need to cooperate with you. For me, it doesn't matterhow long I'll live. It's enough for me as long as I am with the one I love."

Rolando's face was set in a grim expression. He looked at Matthew and asked, "You also agree withher?"

Matthew didn't answer, but was about to attack him. He wanted to tell Rolando by action that he couldkill him and rob the thing of him.

Rolando had been injured in the battle at the Dragon Pass, and hadn't recovered. Matthew's conditionwas not any better. Although Rolando had a little bit advantage over Matthew, he didn't want to fightagainst Matthew at that moment.

"Harper, You should know where to find me if you have made up your mind." As soon as Rolandofinished his words, he stepped back quickly. Matthew was about to chase after him, but Harper stoppedhim.

"No need to go after him. He didn't bring the Sacred Seal with him," Harper said, looking at thedirection in which Rolando disappeared. "Sooner or later, we'll get it. We can take our time."

"Harp, what on earth is Rolando's plan?" Matthew felt uneasy somehow. The Phoenix City was the keypoint for Harper to leave. So was it a premeditated plan that Harper made friends with Darren? Did shewant to leave here a long time ago?

Harper shook her head and replied honestly, "I don't know, either. I guess we have to go to PhoenixCity and ask Darren's father."

"You don't know?" Matthew was astonished. Harper and Darren were good friends, but she knewnothing about it.

Harper shook her head again. The people of Qin Clan who had survived had been hiding in PhoenixCity. To avoid the investigation of the four kingdoms, Phoenix City was their only choice, because it wasnot easy for people from the four kingdoms to enter the city and investigate anyone living there. Andshe established friendship with Darren purely due to an accident. Phoenix City was the key for her toleave, and she was indeed unaware of it.

"Are we going to the Phoenix City?"

Harper shook her head. "I don't want to go to there now. Rolando is not a person who will give upeasily. I am worried about Alexander and Gianna. Let's go back to the imperial capital first."

"Alexander and Gianna are fine. Allen and Pearce are not easy to deal with, especially Pearce whosuffered such a great loss once. He won't allow someone to hurt Alexander. We will go to Dragon Passnow. After we get things done there, we will head for Phoenix City directly," Matthew suggested. Heknew what Harper was running away from, but she had to face it after all, especially when the wholething had relation with her own life.

"What about the Bright Dynasty..."novelbin

"The Bright Dynasty can't rely on me all the time," Matthew said slowly. "Now without Rolando, it hasno threat at all. If Lucas can't even manage the country well under such a circumstance, then he is notqualified to be the emperor."
