Chapter 961 The Invitation From The Qin Clan (Part Two)

"That's good. I haven't had such a dinner for a long time." With a broad smile, Harper said, "I wonder if you are interested in going to the feast with your wife?"

"Why not? If you need me, I'll do anything for you," Matthew agreed at once.

"That's enough, you two! Stop saying such disgusting words!" Darren couldn't bear to see them displaying their love so openly. "But do you guys really intend to go there alone?"

"Of course," Harper confirmed, "If I go there taking any guards, the old lady will be alarmed and might just hide away with Derrick. Who knows where we can find them if this happens? If I don't kill the snake with one single strike, it would be very likely that I would be bitten by it in return. I like to dig out the roots while cutting the weeds, and save myself any potential troubles in the future. "

By now, Darren could finally understand Harper's whole plan. "So you are going to play their game and beat them?"

With her eyes sparkling, Harper said, "Brother, Victoria and we are all gambling in this game, to tell the truth."

Darren smiled, "Perhaps Derrick is gambling, too."

"Yes, I think we are all gambling. So this is an opportunity for us. Derrick should know clearly where the secret treasure house of the Qin Clan is hidden, while the Heavenly Books and the Sacred Seal are in our hands. If Derrick wants to reveal the secret, he has to get the books and the seal. As for taking things from me and Matthew, he knows that's impossible. So here they are, starting this game," Harper commented with a bit evil smile. "And that's why the Qin Clan invited us to have a talk."

"Don't go. It might be a trap."

"I have to go." Harper shook her head, "Apart from Derrick, Daphne is also in their hands. So we have to be careful with the conditions they offer. Turing them down is really not a good choice now."

"Then Iet me go instead." Darren still disagreed with her. After all, Harper had a child inside her, and shouldn't take the risk.

Harper shook her head again, "No, you must stay in the Phoenix City, because it's the best chance for Derrick to take the initiative while Matthew and I are absent! You should hold the fort."

Coldness flashed in Darren's eyes. Although the body he was now taking was the body of Derrick's own son, the young man had been killed by the old fox himself. As for he himself, he didn't feel anything for the cruel father.

"Please take care of Harper from now on, Matthew. If something happens to her and her unborn baby..."

"Don't worry, brother. I won't leave her and her baby in any danger." Matthew meant every words. After all, it was his wife and child that they were talking about, so he certainly would look out for them. At the same time, he had to get rid of the Qin Clan and Derrick once and for all, whatever it took, for they would always be a threat if left alone. He decided to take this opportunity to deal with them, even though there would be risks to take!

On hearing that Harper was going to visit the Qin Clan with Matthew alone, Felton strongly opposed, "I disagree. You can't go to the Qin Clan by yourself. Victoria is a cruel and merciless woman and you are pregnant. You can't take such a great risk."

"Don't worry, Felton. Victoria doesn't dare to kill me yet." Harper understood the situation well. If anyone wanted to unveil the secrets of the Qin Clan, none of the guide, the Heavenly Books, the Sacred Seal, and someone from the direct line of descent were to be dispensed with. If she guessed it right, Derrick

was the guide. Also, being a member from the direct line of descent and with the seal and the books, Harper knew what Victoria wanted to do with her.

"But she won't go easy on you, either!" Felton had become so anxious that he coughed badly. He couldn't be a hundred percent sure what the old lady was planning, but he could say that the old lady wanted to kidnap Harper, so as to threaten Matthew and Rolando to hand over the Heavenly Books and the Sacred Seal in their hands. When she gathered all of these objects, and worked with the cunning and sophisticated Derrick, Harper might not be a match for her by then.

Seeing that the man coughed so hard that his face turned red, Harper sent the servant to try to cool him down and said, "I know what I'm doing, Felton." This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"I know you are not acting rashly, but you now have your unborn baby to think about. You shouldn't take a risk with it. Prince Matthew, won't you say something to persuade her?" Since Felton found himself unable to talk Harper out of her plan, he turned to Matthew for help, at least he thought this man held the principle that his wife was the most important. ‘But why doesn't he stop her from doing something dangerous like this?‘

"I'll go with her," said Matthew, ignoring Felton's worrying look.

"Nonsense!" Felton felt a drumming in his temples. "You know Derrick and Victoria are up to no good; why would you do stupid things with Harper?" he continued.

"Felton," Matthew started in a grim tone, "do you really think Derrick and the old woman would give up their plan even if we didn't accept their invitation?"

Felton opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything to retort. Surely, Victoria would try her best to fulfill her purpose even if Harper would not cooperate this time. Now that Harper and Matthew knew what the

Qin Clan's plan might be, it could be the best choice to take the initiative. It was just that his intuition told him Harper should not to take the risk.

"Is there any other way?" Felton was still unwilling to give in.

"That's the best way at present." "Don't worry. Now that I know her purpose, I will not let her have her own way easily. My goal this time is to save Daphne, not to risk my life. Believe that I myself would not be so stupid to seek my doom." Harper tried to comfort Felton in a soft voice.

"Can't you just let me..."

"You know that I can't." Harper was extremely gentle in front of this man, who was worrying about her heartily. "They want to catch me because I'm someone of direct line of descent, and they are worried that I might be in danger if I'm going to deliver a baby, so they act rashly. But the more hasty they are, the easier for them to give away their plan. As long as they make any mistakes, we would have a chance to bring them down!"

Seeing that Harper had made a decision, Felton knew that he couldn't change her mind. She had always been like this. When she had made up her mind, she would do it without hesitation. "What can I do for you?" he then asked.

"You have a lot to take care of. I will leave Beth to you."
