Chapter 940 The Rescue At Night (Part One)


    The guards of Phoenix City quickly arrived on the scene, further proving how heavily guarded the city


    was. Instead of feeling relieved that they wereing, Daphne felt annoyed more than anything. She


    finally had a chance to show her strength, but the guards just had to spoil it for her!


    Beth stepped aside and watched the drama unfold as Harper and the others came under attack. But


    the moment she realized that the assassins couldn''t hurt Harper at all, a n manifested inside her


    head and she left quietly.


    Unbeknownst to her, Harper saw her slipping away. Also unknown to her was the fact that someone


    was right behind her, following her closely and secretly.


    As the daughter of the old lord, Daphne was left to deal with what had happened while Harper and


    Matthew went back to the Joy Inn in silence. Everyone thought that they came to Phoenix City alone.


    Even the people of the Qin n thought they finally came upon a good opportunity to ambush them.


    They didn''t know that they had their secret guards with them until the ambush took ce.


    "I never knew Harper is more than capable of fighting. It''s highly probable that if we meet and engage


    in some kind of battle, the result will be a draw," Dous, the second young master of the Qin n,


    tly said.


    "Master Dous, don''t you think that sending assassins to kill Princess Harper is not appropriate?"


    Steven Qin, the steward of the Qin n, one of Dous'' underlings, asked cautiously. Once Princess


    Harper found out what they did, it would only be a matter of time she sent them something more


    sinister. She was a heartlessdy after all, and was pretty unpredictable.


    "If we are found out, I guess we can always put the me on Darren. We can tell everyone that we


    busted his n andy it all on him. It should be easy, I guess," Dous added.


    "Do you think Princess Harper would believe all of that?" Steven Qin asked, genuinely surprised.


    ''Princess Harper is not stupid. She and Darren are on good terms. How could she believe that Darren


    sent someone to assassinate her? Do you think Darren is a fool? And if he did want her dead, he


    wouldn''t send anyone after her right now unless he wants to experience the wrath of the Bright


    Dynasty!''


    Everyone in the world knew that Prince Matthew was obsessed with his wife, so it only made sense


    that he would be overprotective of her. One could beat, scold, frame him for all kinds of crime—he


    wouldn''t care nor would he take it seriously. But he would waste no time if anyone daredy a finger on


    his wife.

    "It doesn''t matter if she believes it or not. As long as she finds out that we are involved, we can just


    ce the me on Darren. You know, Harper would definitely find it difficult to ask Darren, a close


    acquaintance, whether he really sent assassins after her or not," Dous exined.


    Steven Qin cast a nce at Dous and sighed discreetly. If it were Felton, he would never do such a


    stupid thing. However, the olddy Victoria had already given up on the wise Felton as his body was


    already too weak and he might die at any time soon. She then chose Dous, a leader with a weak


    sense of strategy.


    Steven Qin wasn''t intending to say anything more. He would just do whatever Dous asked him to


    do, because as a servant, he had no right to question the decisions his higher-up made. All their duty


    entailed was to obey.


    "Well, then. Let''s go back home." After discovering Harper''s true level of martial artpetence,


    Dous immediately wanted to discuss countermeasures. Now that they found out that Felton was of


    no importance to Harper, they had to get rid of him. Although he was his elder brother, there was no


    need for him to keep him, basically a useless person, in the Qin n.


    That evening, Harper changed into one of her night suits. Just as she was preparing to leave, her


    husband caught the corner of her eye: he was also dressed in a night suit, just like her. It turned out


    they had the same idea.


    "Somehow I just knew you''d be going to the Qin n''s residence tonight. That''s why I got ready


    myself! So, do you want to massacre everyone in there or shall we just blow the mansion up into tiny


    little pieces?" Matthew asked as he looked Harper in the eye.


    "Darling, how could you think of such a terrible thing? I just want to have a look around the base of the


    Qin n, and that''s all. But since I''m so helpless and weak, wouldn''t you help me?" Harper asked,


    smiling sweetly.


    Upon hearing that, Matthew couldn''t help but roll his eyes. With a chuckle, he said, "All right, darling.


    Now let''s go see what that Qin n is all about as they really had the audacity to offend and provoke


    us!"


    Harper smiled awkwardly at that. To be fair, she was the only one the Qin n was trying to provoke


    and they really got into her nerves. But since she and Matthew were a couple, he apparently felt


    provoked as well. ''Well, they also looked down on him,'' Harper thought.


    But before Harper and Matthew even arrived at the Qin n''s residence, one secret guard had already


    gone through the entirety of the Qin n''s base. Just after Beth went back to the base, he returned


    and reported to his masters. The couple then went on their way straight to the Cloud Mountain with the


    surrounding darkness effectively bing their cover.


    "One thing I admire about the Qin n is that they''re smart. They knew that their base couldn''t be


    erected in Phoenix City, so they put it on the outskirts. Their wise counsellors truly are their treasure.


    We can never underestimate them."


    "Well, you know what kind of person Felton is. Only smart produces smart." Matthew and Harper


    pierced through the darkness and soon, they were already climbing to the peak of the Cloud


    Mountain.
