Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 902

Matthew's eyes narrowed ever so slightly. This was something Rolando would really do, so he decided that he couldn't act rashly now, since it seemed that he was making a bet on his wife's life. "With Harper's medical skills, it's not easy for you to poison her," he declared after some time of silence.

He purposefully didn't tell Rolando that Harper's body was special: she was immune to all kinds of poison. Even the most poisonous creature in the South Kingdom didn't leave a single scratch on her. Even if Rolando hired the best to poison her, it was absolutely impossible to poison Harper!

"But Deathly Kalpa is not poison." Rolando put his hands behind his back and looked at his opponent meaningfully. "Do you know what Deathly Kalpa is, Matthew?"

Matthew didn't answer and instead just stared at Rolando, murderous intent filling his eyes. Before hand, he had already suspected that Rolando had done something to his wife. Now, he was sure about it. What he wasn't sure about, however, was if Rolando was indeed successful in tricking his wife. Because of that, he needed to catch up with her as soon as possible.

"The so-called Deathly Kalpa, per se, can't be resolved even after a person death. Let me tell you this: once Harper dies, in her next life, and the life she lives after that, I will always find her, thanks to the Deathly Kalpa!" A somewhat feral look contorted Rolando's face. "We both know that neither of us would ever win if we just go up against each other, right? But now that you know what I did, I'm sure you'll let me win, right?"

A dark, intimidating aura started surrounding Matthew. It was so powerful and affecting that anyone near would would for sure feel dread and the looming possibility of death. At that moment, there was nothing else he wanted to do more than to cut up Rolando in the tiniest pieces possible. Yet, he forced himself to remain as calm. He knew that if he gave in to whatever he was feeling, he would do something he might later regret.

"I will never let you win, Rolando," Matthew hissed, his hatred lacing every word he said. "There is no way you'd be able to snatch my wife just like that. It's time to wake up from your delusion."

"Oh, really? Well then, let's just watch and see!" Rolando said as he let out a sinister laugh. With another meaningful stare, he continued, "I'll be waiting for you to send her back!"

"In your dreams!" Matthew sneered coldly. He would never send his beloved wife to anyone!

After one last look, Rolando turned around and left with his men. As long as he kept Harper hostage, he was sure that Matthew wouldn't dare to stir up any kind of trouble for him or the Great Jade Kingdom. Also, if he was able to control him, he also would effectively be in control of Harper. But then he remembered how unpredictable Harper could be. Soon, frustration started eating him up. 'Why does she always have to act in an unusual way! Why does she keep ruining the plans I have put in place!' he thought, his brows furrowing.

What kind of woman would just run away without hesitation when her husband was locked in a serious fight with his nemesis and might be in grave danger? Only a few selects were like those, and unfortunately, Harper was one of them!

As soon as Rolando left, Matthew immediately chased after Harper. He desperately wanted to know if she was really poisoned and if she was really not allowed to go beyond a certain distance away from Rolando. Because if any of those were true, he needed to ready a plan as soon as possible!
