Chapter 965 You''re Back (Part Two)
Derrick was extremely angry. He cursed in mind that Victoria was so useless. She failed to stop
Matthew and made his ck g Army show up here. Considering that the powerful ck g Army
was here, he knew that Victoria had been defeated. Thus, the best option for him was to retreat for the
time being. As long as he was alive, he still had a chance to make his way back.
With that thought in mind, Derrick intended to retreat and run away immediately. However, as soon as
he moved, an iron fell from the sky and trapped him tightly.
"Bastard, you have been captured!"
Joshua snorted. He had guessed that Derrick cherished his life very much. When he found himself in a
disadvantageous situation, he would definitely find a way to escape. So Joshua had prepared to
prevent his escape in advance. As long as Derrick wanted to escape, he would definitely be a rat in the
hole!
The was made of iron. Thus, no matter how hard he tried, Derrick couldn''t break it and his face
turned livid. "You can''t kill me. I am the only one who knows where the secret treasure house of the Qin
n is hidden," Derrick said, staring at Joshua hatefully.
Joshua squatted in front of Derrick and said, "You such a fool; do you think Princess Harper can order
us to kill you here if she doesn''t know the hiding ce of the treasure?"
"So, it''s Harper who wants to kill me!" Derrick was shocked. The reason he dared to make such a mess
in the Phoenix City was that he had firmly believed Harper would not kill him, but now it turned out he
waspletely wrong. After all, Harper was a heartless person. She had killed his father. Thus, she
would never show mercy to him.
"Please let me go, and I''ll take you to find the treasure," Derrick pleaded at once.
"I''m not the kind who likes treasures!" Joshua spat on Derrick''s face and broke the sinews of his right
hand with a sword. Derrick was both painful and furious, but he couldn''t resist. Holding his wrist, he
wished he could tear Joshua to pieces.
"Don''t worry, Lord Derrick. What I''m good at is to torture people, making him feel that death is better
than being alive. You''ll soon beg me to kill you!" Joshua dragged the iron to the lord''s mansion.
"Tsk-tsk, our general must be itching again. This time, the lord would have a lot to suffer. I''ve never
seen anyone who won''t beg for mercy in front of our general!" one of Joshua''s subordinates eximed.
When Harper sent people to escort Victoria back to the Phoenix City, the rebellion in City had already
been suppressed. But when she saw the lord of Phoenix City who was tormented badly, Harper''s
mouth twitched slightly and she whispered in Matthew''s ear, "Darling, I think you''d better find a wife for
Joshua, in case he may suffer from some unknown illness after being single for too long time."
Matthew checked Joshua from head to toe, who was still excited about his masterpiece. Joshua didn''t
have the slightest idea that Matthew had already nned to find a tough woman to discipline him. How
dare he make the lord look so bloody and show it to Harper when knowing that she was pregnant?
Seeing that Harper came back, Derrick moved his mouth without lips and said with difficulty, "Kill me..."
His teeth were also removed by Joshua, so he couldn''t speak clearly.
With a sinister smile, Harper said, "Derrick, you are the lord of the Phoenix City, the doorkeeper of the
secret treasure house of the Qin n. How can you die? You have to guard the secret treasure for all
your whole life."
Derrick''s eyes widened in disbelief. Only thest lord of the Phoenix City knew he was the doorkeeper
of the treasure, which was a top secret passed down from thest lord. How could Harper know it?
"You..." Derrick uttered with great difficulty.
"Do you want to ask me why I knew such a fact?" Harper had a brighter smile. "Have you forgotten that
I am the only direct descendant of the Qin n? How could I not know your secret?"
"The treasure..." Derrick hesitated.
"The secret treasure house is just a cover. The real inheritance is in the Heavenly Book. The secret
treasure you''ve been thinking about in your mind is just a lie," Harper exined slowly. "After that door,
there is no piles of gold and silver jewelry, nor is there any elixir that can help you live forever. There
are only skeletons and endless silence and fatigue!"
Derrick widened his eyes as though he couldn''t believe what she said. Then, he found it hard to
breathe. In no time, he kicked the bucket. Victoria was unwilling to believe what Harper just said at all.
After Harper opened the door of the secret treasure house, Victoria saw with her own eyes that there
was nothing there. As she couldn''t ept such a blow, she went crazy. In all her lifetime, she made
great efforts to gain the treasures, but it turned out to be nothing inside!
Looking at the crazy old Victoria, Harper shook her head. The so-called secret treasure caused the
fierce scramble among so many people. Yet, they didn''t know that the secret treasure didn''t exist. Even
though she had exposed the truth, more people would still scramble for it just due to their greed.
"That''s so boring. I''ve spent so much time searching for such an empty warehouse. It''s a big loss for
me!" Rndo saidzily. "Boring! I should go now."
"Where are we going?" asked Harper.
"The Great Jade Kingdom perished. Where can I go? As the former emperor of a perished kingdom, of
course, I will roam around the world." Rndo waved his hand and left without looking back.
Looking at Rndo''s receding figure, Harper didn''t ask him to stay. Rndo had his own pride, and his
pride wouldn''t allow him to live under other people''s roof, even though he was no longer an emperor.
"Darling, let''s go back to the imperial capital." All of a sudden, Harper missed the rtives and friends
of the imperial capital a lot. Now that her brother came here, and the Phoenix City needed time to
recuperate, it was time for her to go back to the imperial capital.
When they arrived at the imperial capital, Harper felt that she had been away for a long time. She got
off the carriage at the gate of the capital, looking at the prosperous capital, and smiled with satisfaction.
Yes, she came back again.
A young man was holding a pretty girl in his hand. His eyes reddened as he saw Harper get off the
carriage. He called with tears brimming in his eyes, "Harper."
Harper was a little surprised. He looked at the boy who held the child, and found that the boy and the
girl were Alexander and Gianna whom she hadn''t seen for a long time. Before she could say anything,
Alexander had released his arms from Gianna''s and ran towards her. But when the boy was about to
rush into Harper''s arms, he was stopped by Matthew.
"You brat, who allowed you to be so reckless? Don''t you know that your sister is pregnant? What if you
hurt her?" Matthew was so nervous about his wife''s safety, fearing that someone would hurt her.
Alexander stood still and restrained his impulse to cry in the arms of Harper. He mumbled, "Harper,
you''re back."
"Sister, give me a hug," Gianna said innocently. Although she was only one year old, she could speak
now. Alexander was afraid of the threatening look of Matthew, but little Gianna wasn''t. She waved her
two little fat hands to ask for the hug of her sister.
Harper stretched out her arms to hold her, but as soon as she touched Gianna, thetter was grabbed
by Matthew. "Gianna, your sister is going to have a little niece for you, so she can''t hold you. Let me
hold you."
Gianna looked at Harper curiously. She was so cute that Harper wanted to kiss her. So, she pecked on
her chubby face and said, "Do you miss me, Gigi?"
"Yes, yes." Gianna''s eyes sparkled and some saliva slipped down from the corner of her mouth. She
also wanted to peck on her sister''s face.
Alexander held Harper by his hands. Although he was just eleven years old, he was almost as tall as
Harper.
Harper touched his head and said, "Alexander, you are taller, almost taller than me."
Alexander blushed and said, "My sworn father said, when I am fifteen or six years old, I will be taller
than you, or even Brother-inw."
"Has Marquis Pearcee to imperial capital with you?" asked Harper smilingly.
"My sworn parents are both here, and they want me to go back to the imperial capital for further study,"
Alexander said as he looked at Harper timidly. He didn''t ask for his sister''s opinion because he really
missed her. He wanted to go back to the imperial capital, and he felt at ease as long as he stayed with
his sister.
"Well, it''s a good idea to go back to the imperial capital. After you are back, I will worry less about you,"
Harper said slowly. "Have you ever seen our brother?"
"Our brother?" Alexander looked at Harper in confusion, wondering who the brother she referred to.
"Howard Chu."
N?velDrama.Org owns this.
Alexander shook his head and answered, "I''ve met Prime Minister Zack, my teachers, the retired Grand
Secretary Franklin and his wife, and Prince Allen. But I haven''t met our brother yet.
Harper blinked her eyes and thought, ''I don''t think Howard wants to go back to this ce that makes
him sad. He used to be ambitious and wanted to make a ssh, but his ambition was thwarted by me.
Even though the world is settled, I guess he is not willing to go back here.''
Not far away, Zack, in his usual light blue brocade robe, was looking at Harper and smiling elegantly
and gently. "You''re back," Zack said simply.
"Yes, we are back," Harper smiled.
