Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 959

Daphne closed her eyes and didn't say anything. She was afraid that if she kept asking, she would get an answer she couldn't accept, so she chose to be silent. Now that her brother was taken care of by Harper and would be fine, she wouldn't give this man any chance to threaten her brother with her.

"My Lord, the old lady is here." The voice of a secret guard sounded outside the door.

Derrick stopped cultivating and said slowly, "Let her in."

The door was opened. It was an old woman with grey hair. She walked in on a crutch and looked energetic. It was Victoria. She greeted, "Lord Derrick."

"The plan has changed. We have to take action in advance. We have investigated about Matthew's base outside the city. You send some people to destroy this place. Then lead your soldiers to join me and attack Phoenix City," Derrick said in a deep voice.

Victoria was surprised. "We seem to have no enough people to surround Phoenix City."

"Don't forget that I am the lord of Phoenix City. Without me, the soldiers of Phoenix City cannot be mobilized by Darren. Now that we have fallen out with Matthew, I have to completely control the city before his Black Flag Army arrives," Derrick slowly responded.

"After all these years, Lord Darren has grown stronger. It's not easy to get the city back from him." Victoria laughed in a triumphant way. After all, Darren was not a fool. How could he not know what Derrick could figure out? Perhaps, a trap had been set in the city, waiting for him to step in.

"He doesn't dare to act rashly." Casting a glance at Daphne who was thrown in the corner, Derrick continued, "After all, they are siblings with deep affection. He will not give up his sister."

Daphne gritted her teeth and thought, 'You really want to threaten Darren with me, but I won't let you get what you want.'

Victoria glanced at Daphne, a complicated light flashing in her eyes. After all, the old lady and Derrick were the same sort of people. In their eyes, children were pawns. If they could exchange their children for benefits, as long as the chips were enough, they would not hesitate at all.

"Lord Derrick, now that things have become like this, I think we need to revise our cooperation." Victoria was a sophisticated old woman. She had planned to take advantage of Harper to get the Heavenly Books and Sacred Seal. But unexpectedly, Harper was useless, for Rolando had got them.

Fortunately, Rolando had other intentions and irritated Matthew. Thus, his empire was destroyed by the prince and he fell into his hands again. This meant that the Heavenly Books and Sacred Seal had been given back to Harper again. All the old lady needed to do was lower herself and apologize to Harper. And then she would find a good excuse to cheat her into opening the secret realm first after sending people to lurk around in advance. After the secret realm was opened, they would just capture Harper. With such a good plan, there was no need to cooperate with Derrick.
