Forensic Imperial Concubine

Chapter 939 The Lady Is Too Soft-Hearted (Part Two)

A dark arrow flew straight at Daphne. Startled, Harper reached out and pushed Daphne away. Daphne grabbed the whip at her waist as being pushed away. It was her weapon. When she stood still, she had stabilized herself.

"So, the target is me!" Daphne was a little surprised, but didn't show much expression. She was already used to assassination. "The common people immediately retreat now."

Daphne's voice magnified by her internal force spread across the street. The common people instantly retreated like the tide, leaving only the three people in the street.

The assassins took action and besieged the three people without scruple when they saw the common people retreating from the street. They seemed to kill Daphne, but they focused on attacking Harper. Harper stood back to back with Matthew, and could easily deal with the assassins' attacks.

"According to the skills the assassins are using, it can be seen that they are professional training daredevils, and an ordinary clan can't raise them," Harper calmly analyzed.

Matthew attacked quickly, sharply and ruthlessly. His eyes look cold and he killed the enemies without the slightest scruple. Darren quietly watched this scene in the tower. He appreciated the calmness and coldness of Matthew a lot. Although Harper also didn't show mercy, she still distracted her attention to check the situation of Daphne. Compared to her husband, Harper was obviously more softhearted.

"Young master,"

"What is it?"

"The Qin Clan's foothold is in the Cloud Mountain outside the city. Our people went into the mountain several times and didn't find any trace of them. These people are very good at hiding," the captain of the city guards said calmly. "Should we continue to find them out?"

"No need. We just need to wait and see. The goal of the Qin Clan is Harper. As long as she is still in Phoenix City, they will appear. We don't need to look for them," Darren said coldly. "Moreover, people from Qin Clan underestimated her and they have to pay heavy price for that."

"But I'm afraid that Lady Harper can't attack them freely in Phoenix City," the captain said hesitantly. Anyone who entered the Phoenix City would be under the city's control, even including the emperors of the four countries.

"As you said, the Qin Clan's foothold is outside the city." With a meaningful smile on his face, the corners of Darren's mouth curled up. "Outside the city, no one can stop her."

"The assassins we sent to the Qin Clan..." NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

"There is no need to withdraw them. Leave them there to test the Qin Clan's strength. The Qin Clan has been hiding in the Phoenix City for more than twenty years, but their hatred doesn't die down. On the contrary, they have developed the will to rebel. It's a good thing that we can solve them. It will also be the favor we offer to Harper."

Looking at the receding figure of Darren, the captain uttered in a low voice, "Young master, you have a strange taste."

"Strange taste?" Darren repeated with a smile. "I don't think it's strange. Being softhearted doesn't help her solve the problem. She needs to become stronger. It's hard for a softhearted woman to have some big achievements. I thought she grew up in a place full of all kinds of people like the imperial capital and experienced all kinds of intrigues, she would be as hard as iron and have no weakness. But it seems that she is still too naive."

"Young master, do you want Lady Harper to be a monster without feelings?" the captain asked doubtfully.

"A monster without feelings?" Darren thought about the words carefully. It would be awful to see Harper like that. "No, what I want is that she becomes extremely cold and powerful, so strong that no one can hurt her."

"Young master, everyone has his weakness," said the captain as he chased after his young master. "As long as Lady Harper is still human, she will have a weakness."

"So we need to help her get rid of this weakness." A cold killing intent broke out from Darren's eyes. As long as her weakness was gone, Harper would become stronger, so powerful that no one could hurt her!

A strong airflow ran straight to Darren. Darren slightly tilted his head, stretched out two fingers and grabbed the hidden weapon. It was a knife in the shape of willow leaf with a note tied on it.

Darren shot his glance at one direction abruptly and moved forward to the direction at lightning speed. The man who tried to shot Darren by the hidden weapon was shocked by Darren's speed and missed the best time to escape. When he came to his senses and wanted to escape, he found his neck was grabbed by Darren.

Snap! Before he could say anything, he heard the sound of his neck breaking. It was the sound of death. As soon as Darren released his hand, the corpse collapsed to the ground. Darren took out a handkerchief and carefully cleaned his hands before reading the note.

"Young master, what did the note say?"

"Rolando wants to make a deal with me," Darren said coldly. "Do you think I should take the opportunity to kill him?"

"Rolando has the Heavenly Book and half of the Sacred Seal which are worth the deal. Young master, please don't be willful and act recklessly." The captain looked helpless. "If Rolando was killed silently, how could we find the two things he has? Moreover, Lady Harper needs the two things. Even if it is not for the sake of Phoenix City, please think for Lady Harper."

"Then, after I rob his of the two things, I'll kill him," Darren said gracefully and coldly, as if he was not going to kill the former emperor of the Great Jade Kingdom, but a lowly ant.
