Chapter 543 Annihting The Scarlet Devils (Part One)


    Turning to Harper in surprise, Marquis Scarlet said, "I heard that Prince Matthew''s wife is arrogant and


    overbearing. It wasn''t until now that I found out they were telling the truth, though they forgot to mention


    that you''re also a liar who makes irresponsible remarks and uses others of hasty nderous


    charges."


    Harperughed sarcastically before responding, "Oh, really? I did hear some things about you too, you


    know. I wonder what the face behind that mask really looks like."


    She stretched out her hand to remove the mask from Marquis Scarlet''s face. But as soon as her hand


    touched the mask, a silver needle was shot at her wrist. In a second, Matthew hastily pulled Harper


    away to protect her. Marquis Scarlet took the chance to get rid of Matthew''s grip on him and quickly


    stepped away from them.


    "I admire your agility, Prince Matthew. But next time we meet, I won''t lose to you." After that, Marquis


    Scarlet looked at Harper with eyes full ofplex emotions. At that, he was finally ready to leave.


    As a glimmer of light shed through her eyes, Harper shot three silver needles from the bracelet


    around her wrist towards Marquis Scarlet. The man quickly turned around to avoid the attack. But,


    unfortunately for him, one of the silver needles found its way into his body.


    Marquis Scarlet spat out a mouthful of blood. He turned around one more time and gave a ferocious


    nce at Harper. Wiping off the blood from the corner of his mouth, he quickly disappeared in the


    darkness. All the other assassins had already fled away in different directions even before their leader


    could. Matthew made a gesture with his hand, ordering the secret guards who were in hiding to chase


    them.


    When they were sure that every member of the Scarlet Devils had fled, Harper finally had the time to


    worry about the situation in the imperial capital. If it was true that someone had deliberately lured them


    away from the imperial capital, their family there would have been in great danger by then. After


    thinking about it for a little more while, Harper suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Matthew


    out of concern.


    "What''s wrong?" Matthew asked with worry since he could feel the obvious change in Harper''s mood.


    "I just couldn''t help but think that if our enemy deliberately lured us away from the imperial capital, our


    family would be in danger right now. However, the next moment I realized that my actual family is


    together with me right now," Harper softly said with a small smile. She looked at Matthew, wanting him


    to know that by "actual family," she meant him. She then added, "Also, Gianna is in Allen''s mansion


    and is being taken good care of by him and his wife, so I don''t need to worry about her safety. The Bu


    n members have the ability to protect themselves, and Alexander is with us. There is nobody in the


    imperial capital that we need to worry about."


    "But your father is there," Matthew reminded her. Even though Harper did not consider Charles as her


    father anymore, there was no denying that they were still bonded by blood.


    "He is not my father," Harper said firmly, emphasizing each word. Her father was not a frantic bastard


    like Charles. In her previous life, her father was actually stricter with her than with her elder brother


    because he thought that a female should be independent and self-reliant. Even so, he didn''t love her


    any less than her elder brother. In fact, her father took care of her more carefully than he did to her


    elder brother.


    "If you say so. I guess he doesn''t deserve to be called like that," Matthew agreed with her.


    "How are we going to deal with the Scarlet Devils?" Despite the assurance that her family would be


    fine, Harper was still worried about the Scarlet Devils. After all, she knew that these people were


    merciless and desperate. If they were determined to get rid of someone, no one knew the limit that they


    would be willing to take. Moreover, Scarlet Devils had been associated with Alban''s death. For just that


    fact, Harper was reluctant to let them go that easily.


    "Don''t worry. Once my secret guards find the Scarlet Devils'' location, it will be easy to capture all of


    them. Of course, I won''t let those gangsters go free and go about doing what they want. What''s more,


    they even dared to think of going after me. How can I not do something to them in return?" Matthew


    confidently stated with conviction in his eyes. He knew that at whichever cost, he would find them.


    "When you''ve finally caught the Scarlet Devils, you should tell Pearce before killing them. I''m sure he''ll


    immediatelye. After all, you''re going to kill the murderer who killed his son. Since Pearce and Allie


    are willing to ept Alexander as their sworn son, I believe they are sensible enough to tell what is


    right and wrong. Now that they have a legitimate reason to hold a grudge against them, they would


    regret it very much if they weren''t there at the very least," Harper stated softly.


    "As a matter of fact, Pearce''s n has a reputation for being humble and dignified. Not everyone has


    the courage to fade in the background at the height of their prosperity. But that was exactly what


    Pearce''s n did in the past," Matthew stated in consensus with Harper.


    "You seem to have a very high opinion of Pearce," Harpermented. It was rare for her to see


    Matthew praise someone this much. In fact, he was a very proud man who regarded himself and the


    people around him with high standards. Therefore, he would praise only a few people from time to time.


    Even when it came to Franklin, Matthew merely described him as an old fox. Inparison, he spoke


    extremely highly of Pearce.

    "I praise you very often, don''t I?" Matthew said teasingly with a yful smile and twinkle in his eyes.


    "Oh honey, did you ever praise me?" Harper went along with his yful mood.


    "Don''t be like that! I have praised you multiple times. I said that you''re clever, sweet, gentle,


    considerate, and exceedingly beautiful," Matthew said, almost like a boy whining.


    "Oh, you''re such a smooth talker!" Harper eximed. Even though she was usually confident and


    proud, she couldn''t help but blush at his words. To hide her embarrassment, she retorted at him, "Why


    don''t you say that I''m always jealous, savage, and wild? You can even call me disgusting for daring to


    dissect corpses."


    "So what? Dissecting corpses doesn''t bother me at all. Even if you want to dissect living people, I''ll


    support you. And you have my word. I would still look at you the same way," Matthew said in a sincere


    tone. Back then, Harper had operated Nicole and done an emergency caesarean section on her. She


    had to cut open Nicole''s belly to take out Gianna. By doing so, she not only saved Gianna but also


    fulfilled Nicole''sst wish. Besides, at that time, Allen didn''t me Harper for cutting Nicole''s belly open


    and taking the baby out. However, what Harper had done was too shocking formon people to bear.


    Therefore, in order to keep it a secret, Matthew had meticulously tracked down everybody who knew


    about it. He then threatened them to take the secret to their graves, or else, he was going to be the one


    to take them there.
