"This way please, Your Highness."
With Patrick in her arms, Harper headed for the Harmony Palace. On the way, she crossed paths with a maid who lowered her head before walking past her. Harper suddenly paused and tried to attack the maid. The maid was so surprised and quickly retreated. But the maid didn't know that her extraordinary martial arts skills had been exposed from her speed of reacting to Harper's attempted attack.
Squinting her eyes a little, Harper stretched out all of her fingers in a hurry to hit the woman's face. The woman was taken aback and wasn't able to dodge this time. In an instant, Harper pulled down a mask from her face.
Looking at the woman in front of her eyes, Harper exclaimed through gritted teeth, "Becky! And now, we meet again."
As soon as Harper launched her attacks, a group of secret guards appeared and surrounded Becky. She wanted to escape, but she was unable to defeat Harper by herself, let alone so many secret guards.
"Do you like the gift that I gave you today, Harper Chu?" Becky asked. Even though she knew that it would be impossible to escape today, she was willing to do anything to make Harper upset.
Looking down at Patrick, who was in her arms, Harper said, "I want her to suffer so much, so that she would wish she'd die instead. Give her back the poison that she gave to me."
"Harper Chu, what do you mean?" Becky asked in surprise. She didn't understand what Harper meant. At the same time, a weird smile appeared at the corners of Harper's lips. "I'll make your life a living hell," Harper said while looking straight at Becky. Then, the little beast in her arms turned into a stream of light and instantly rushed towards Becky. In response, Becky stretched out her arms to block it, but her neck was still cut by Patrick's sharp claws. As she touched her injured neck with her hand, Becky was boiling with rage.
"You little bastard, I'll kill you!"
Patrick bounced to the ground and then back to Harper's arms, and then further jumped to her shoulder. Standing there with a defiant look, the creature made a face at Becky. Becky wished she could hit the little beast. Although its master had always kept a low profile, the little beast was very high-spirited and liked showing off.
"Well... What's your name?" Harper asked Fernando after dodging Becky's attack and turning to look at him.
"My name is Fernando."
"So, Fernando, I hereby leave this woman to you. Take her and send her to prison. Don't lock her by herself, or she will bleed to death. It's kind of a revenge for your Emperor Rolando," Harper said indifferently.
Fernando told his subordinates to capture Becky. Although he didn't understand what Harper meant, he knew that whatever was going to happen to Becky, it was definitely not a good thing. Perhaps, they would only know the details until it finally happened to the woman.
