Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 939

A dark arrow flew straight at Daphne. Startled, Harper reached out and pushed Daphne away. Daphne grabbed the whip at her waist as being pushed away. It was her weapon. When she stood still, she had stabilized herself.

"So, the target is me!" Daphne was a little surprised, but didn't show much expression. She was already used to assassination. "The common people immediately retreat now."

Daphne's voice magnified by her internal force spread across the street. The common people instantly retreated like the tide, leaving only the three people in the street.

The assassins took action and besieged the three people without scruple when they saw the common people retreating from the street. They seemed to kill Daphne, but they focused on attacking Harper. Harper stood back to back with Matthew, and could easily deal with the assassins' attacks.

"According to the skills the assassins are using, it can be seen that they are professional training daredevils, and an ordinary clan can't raise them," Harper calmly analyzed.

Matthew attacked quickly, sharply and ruthlessly. His eyes look cold and he killed the enemies without the slightest scruple. Darren quietly watched this scene in the tower. He appreciated the calmness and coldness of Matthew a lot. Although Harper also didn't show mercy, she still distracted her attention to check the situation of Daphne. Compared to her husband, Harper was obviously more softhearted.

"Young master,"

"What is it?"

"The Qin Clan's foothold is in the Cloud Mountain outside the city. Our people went into the mountain several times and didn't find any trace of them. These people are very good at hiding," the captain of the city guards said calmly. "Should we continue to find them out?"

"No need. We just need to wait and see. The goal of the Qin Clan is Harper. As long as she is still in Phoenix City, they will appear. We don't need to look for them," Darren said coldly. "Moreover, people from Qin Clan underestimated her and they have to pay heavy price for that."

"But I'm afraid that Lady Harper can't attack them freely in Phoenix City," the captain said hesitantly. Anyone who entered the Phoenix City would be under the city's control, even including the emperors of the four countries.

"As you said, the Qin Clan's foothold is outside the city." With a meaningful smile on his face, the corners of Darren's mouth curled up. "Outside the city, no one can stop her."

"The assassins we sent to the Qin Clan..."

Darren shot his glance at one direction abruptly and moved forward to the direction at lightning speed. The man who tried to shot Darren by the hidden weapon was shocked by Darren's speed and missed the best time to escape. When he came to his senses and wanted to escape, he found his neck was grabbed by Darren.

Snap! Before he could say anything, he heard the sound of his neck breaking. It was the sound of death. As soon as Darren released his hand, the corpse collapsed to the ground. Darren took out a handkerchief and carefully cleaned his hands before reading the note.

"Young master, what did the note say?"

"Rolando wants to make a deal with me," Darren said coldly. "Do you think I should take the opportunity to kill him?"

"Rolando has the Heavenly Book and half of the Sacred Seal which are worth the deal. Young master, please don't be willful and act recklessly." The captain looked helpless. "If Rolando was killed silently, how could we find the two things he has? Moreover, Lady Harper needs the two things. Even if it is not for the sake of Phoenix City, please think for Lady Harper."

"Then, after I rob his of the two things, I'll kill him," Darren said gracefully and coldly, as if he was not going to kill the former emperor of the Great Jade Kingdom, but a lowly ant.
