Chapter 666 Something In His Hand (Part One)
As the guards arrived at Felix''s mansion, they found that the mansion waspletely deserted. The
guards rummaged the entire mansion, but found no one. Both Felix and his wife had disappeared, as if
they had vanished into thin air.
"Where are they?" Ken asked in shock. "Where is Prince Felix?"
"General Ken, we have been guarding the mansion round-the-clock. No one has entered, ore
out…" the head of the guards said. He too was shocked to learn that the mansion was empty. Felix had
committed serious crimes and was ced under house arrest. Now that Felix had escaped under his
watch, he would get punished for dereliction of duty.
"Search for Prince Felix! We have to find him by hook or by crook!" Ken ordered. He felt vexed. The
emperor had changed a lot in disposition recently. He had increasingly be crazy and bloodthirsty.
If they were unsessful in finding Felix, Ken was afraid that he too might get implicated and
punished.
However, despite searching every nook and corner of the mansion and the surroundings around, they
still couldn''t find any trace of Felix and his wife.
In the underground secret path, Howard looked at a disheveled Felix in a way as if he enjoyed great
pleasure in seeing thetter in such a miserable situation. With a faint smile at the corners of his
mouth, he said, "If I hadn''te a little earlier, you would have already been decapitated."
Casting a fierce re at Howard, Felix said, "What is it you want this time? First, you helped Hoffman
to fight against me, and now you are here to rescue me. What on earth do you want?"
Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
"Prince Felix, don''t talk nonsense. At the time when I joined Prince Hoffman''s camp, I was just following
orders. Don''t you remember you were the one who ordered me to do that?" Howard sneered at him.
"Well, I guess great wits have brief memories."
"Bullshit!" Felix cursed angrily. "I ordered you to join Hoffman''s camp, but I didn''t tell you to betray me!"
"When I joined Prince Hoffman''s camp, I had to show my sincerity to him. I didn''t know about a better
way to show my sincerity other than betraying you. Besides, though I betrayed you, I didn''t cause any
fatal harm to you. I also helped you to defeat Prince Hoffman, didn''t I?" Howard took the lead in walking
forward. "Follow me closely, or you will get torn apart by His Majesty."
"Howard, tell me. Whom do you work for?" Felix realized that Howard had never really worked for him.
He was a goal-oriented man, and had his own reasons for doing things. He was very clear about his
target, and wouldn''t hesitate to do anything for achieving his goal.
"Well, you may guess whom I am working for," Howard said, as he turned around and gave a
mysterious smile to Felix. Then his sight fell on Felix''s wife, who was also there along with Felix. Felix
still didn''t believe that the emperor had an affair with his wife.
After thinking for a moment, Felixughed grimly and said, "You work for Matthew Jun!"
"You''re wrong. Matthew doesn''t deserve my loyalty!" Howard eximed coldly. "I have worked for only
one person in my life."
"That''s impossible. If not Matthew, who else in the imperial capital deserves your loyalty?" Felix didn''t
believe Howard''s words. If Howard was working for Jason or Francis, he wouldn''t havee to his
rescue. Instead, he would have killed him without hesitation. So, Felix was sure that Howard didn''t
work for either Jason or Francis.
In the imperial capital, beside Matthew, the only one Howard could rely on was Lucas. However, Felix
knew Lucas better than anyone else. He was sure that Howard will not work for a person like Lucas.
"Who on earth do you work for?"
"The person I work for is really good at hiding. That''s why you haven''t figured about her identity,"
Howard said. He led the way without turning his head back. He never bothered if Felix might use his
chance to strike him from behind. That was because he was sure that Felix wouldn''t survive without his
help.
"Her?" Felix eximed in shock. "I didn''t expect you would work for a woman!"
In the darkness, Howard''s face couldn''t be seen clearly, but a ghostly smile was on his face. He gave
him a clue, because he deemed it was no more necessary to hide the person he was working for from
Felix.
"Harper Chu!" Felix eximed in shock, though he could not believe what he himself said. "Have you
forgotten that she attempted to kill you?"
"So what?" Howard didn''t care about that at all. "Hatred is also a kind of emotion. I''m loving it."
"You... You''re crazy!" Felix said emotionally. "How could you surrender and serve a woman who made
many attempts to kill you? How could you lower yourself to such an abomination?"
"What? Lower myself?" Howard reflected it over. Did he reallyck self-respect? The answer was no.
What he wanted was to appear in front of Harper, and he didn''t care whether she disliked him or hated
him. He wanted to make sure that she could never get rid of him in her lifetime. "Maybe, I lower
myself."
Looking at Howard''s back, Felix pulled his wife to stagger behind him. "Are you rescuing me because
Harper told you to do so?"
"She has her own reasons for rescuing you. Prince Felix, she wants you to give her something in
return," Howard said, stopping in his tracks all of a sudden. "You''ll get time to think about it before we
arrive at the exit."
Hearing that, Felix was stunned and his pupils shrank slightly. The only thing remaining with him that
was worth coveting was the spies he had trained over the years!
Felix''s wife had been silent all the way. She had just lost her baby and was very weak at the moment.
Earlier, Felix didn''t leave her behind and took her out of house arrest. She knew that was not because
he wanted to save her. Instead, he wanted her to confront the emperor, so he could find out the truth. It
was not he who had sent her to the emperor, and neither did he believe what she said. He believed that
she had an affair with the emperor to create a blow to him.
