Chapter 901 She Fled (Part One)


    The moment Rndo saw the couple riding their horses side by side,plicated feelings started to


    blossom inside his chest. Although he had been able to deceive her with his gentle mask, he could not


    deny the hurt he was feeling. He felt like the fake mask he put on was shattered into a million little


    pieces.


    "Harper, it''ste. Where are you going?" Rndo softly asked.


    "Go home, Rndo," Harper replied, the smile on her face unchanging, as if she didn''t hold grudge


    against him. Matthew''s face, on the other hand, darkened. His grim expression only meant one thing:


    he wanted to crush Rndo into a million little pieces.


    "Home?" Rndo repeated. ''Home, Harper? Do you still consider the Bright Dynasty your home?


    Didn''t that ce only give you pain?'' he thought, feeling disappointed. "You still don''t consider the


    Great Jade Kingdom your home?"


    Harper shook her head, but her smile never faded. "I''m just a guest here, Rndo. You know that. You


    own the Great Jade Kingdom and I''m just a passerby."


    "The Great Jade Kingdom is your home, Harper! Bright Dynasty has given you nothing but pain!"


    Rndo firmly said in a noticeably louder voice. "Why would you ever want to go back to that wretched


    ce?"


    "Honestly, wherever Matthew is, it is home for me. We can be in the Bright Dynasty, the Wonder


    Kingdom, or the South Kingdom—I don''t care. As long and he and I are together, I am at home,"


    Harper replied, her face looking peaceful.


    The smile on Rndo''s face gradually faded away. Yet, Matthew was feeling and looking the exact


    opposite: the previously cold expression on his face morphed into something warm and happy, with a


    soft smile gracing his lips.


    "In that case, I guess I have no choice: in order to keep you here, I''d also have to keep him here."


    Rndo turned to Matthew, rage and jealousy burning in his eyes. Without any kind of warning, he


    then lunged at him, his movement as smooth, sharp, and quick as lightning. Matthew wasn''t taken by


    surprise, however—he, too, was now rushing towards Rndo. Soon enough, the two shed, their


    energies neutralizing each other in a dazzling and heart-stopping disy. Harper was unfazed sitting


    on her horse, electing to just look on instead of intervening.


    Diana, on the other hand, was forced off of her horse by the sheer force of the impact between


    Rndo and Matthew. Fortunately she was able to quickly recover and stand up, just in time to see


    how majestic the fight between the two men was. It was her first time seeing them meet, and she was


    stunned by how powerful they both were. Only then did she realize how utterly stupid it was for her to


    even suggest to deal with Rndo alone. Even if Rndo got injured, it would literally take ten of her to


    at the very least neutralize him. ''Actually, even then it would be very hard,'' she thought, feeling sweat


    run down her face.


    Zorro prepared himself for what was about to happen as soon as he saw Rndo blocking their way.


    Quickly, he retreated far, far away so that he wouldn''t be as affected. Seeing Harper stand her ground


    effortlessly, he was astounded. ''I have always known that His Highness''s strength is unfathomable, but


    I didn''t expect that Her Highness''s strength is on par as his! She doesn''t look affected by what is


    happening at all, which is impressive!''

    "Amazing!" Diana whispered in utter disbelief. As she touched her bruised face, searing pain began to


    flood her senses. It only made Harper''s nonchnce more admirable. "I really didn''t expect my master


    to be such a powerful being. No wonder she adores that weirdo, Matthew, another powerful being! But


    Emperor Rndo... is just as strong as them. It''s honestly amazing how she still hasn''t taken a fancy in


    him!" she said.


    Zorro rolled his eyes. How would it be possible for someone like Harper to fall in love with Rndo?


    Yes, Rndo was strong and skillful, but that didn''t mean that Harper would just fancy him. Stories had


    circted that even Matthew found it hard to convince Harper to marry him—he had to put so much


    effort into courting her! That was why Zorro believed that Harper wouldn''t just let Rndo into her life.


    She wasn''t an ordinary girl, and so there was no way Rndo could trick her that easily!


    As the two men were busy fiercely fighting each other, Harper started her journey once more, with her


    horse galloping right in the middle of the action. After a while, she and her horse vanished into the


    darkness of the night.


    "Harper... just... ran away just like that?" Diana was petrified. She couldn''t believe that Harper escaped


    on her own while her husband was still locked in a dangerous duel with Rndo!


    Zorro was stunned as well. His surprise was so great that his face contorted into something


    unpleasant-looking. Just a few moments ago, he praised Harper for her power and dedication, but the


    next second, she just abandoned everyone as if they were nothing!


    This unexpected action from Harper failed to shake Matthew''s resolve to win the fight against his foe,


    but it quickly disturbed his enemy Rndo, as he had only goal: Harper. She had just imed that any


    ce, as long as Matthew was there, was home for her, but now, as her husband was fighting, she


    escaped just like that!


    "Go and get her!" Rndo immediately ordered.


    Several shadows materialized out of thin air at once. They were Rndo''s secret guards, and soon,


    they were flying towards the way Harper went. Meanwhile, Matthew just took a nce at Zorro and


    Zorro immediately understood what he had to do: take on the secret guards and chase after Harper. It


    seemed like Harper escaped because she didn''t want to distract Matthew from the fight!


    At this development, Rndo couldn''t help but be filled with annoyance. The man he was fighting was


    at the same level as him when it came to power, skills, and determination. As long as the he was in his


    way, none of his people would be able to even remotely get close to Harper. And once she escaped his


    grasp, it would be almost impossible for him to get her back again!


    "Matthew, are you aware of the fact that Harper will perish the moment she goes beyond a certain


    distance from me?" Rndo suddenly asked. Matthew paused to think about what he said, but after a


    fast few seconds, he was back in action again.


    "My wife dying because of you? You must be kidding me. It''s not that I don''t believe you, man—I''m just


    highly confident in what she can do!"


    "You don''t believe me?" Rndo retorted, shing Matthew a malicious smile. "Matthew, trust me—you


    will send that woman back to me sooner than you think. You can''t kill me."


    "Should I consider that a threat?"


    "Well,e and see and if I''m threatening you," Rndo said as he withdrew his hands and stopped


    attacking Matthew. With cold eyes, he red at Matthew, saying, "I''ve long known that Harper is in love


    with you. I can''t keep her, but there is no way I would let go of her. The good thing is that I found a way


    to connect her to me forever. As long as I''m alive, she will be alive; yet if I die, she will also die!"
