Forensic Imperial Concubine

Harper nodded. They couldn't leave the River City if they didn't find the murderer, because the killer might attack Alexander again after they left, and they couldn't stay here to guard him forever.

"Watch out!" Matthew shouted in warning abruptly, and extended out his arm to pull Harper to him by her waist. They both turned around to escape the sudden attack, and when they turned their eyes back, they saw that a row of darts had pierced the ground silently where they had just been standing.

"Attack!" Following that command, the assassins closed in on them without saying another word. In a flash, they surrounded Fred with absolute ease. Their leader wore a blood-red robe and his face was covered by a mask of savage appearance. He looked very much like a devil from hell.

"Marquis Scarlet." Matthew uttered the name. Staring at the killers facing him with his fierce eyes, Matthew felt that he had seen through the enemy's disguise without a doubt.

Sadly, your bodyguards are quite strong, so this is the only way to get close to you. I hope you won't mind."

"Fred, step back and guard Harper." Matthew gave the order with a cool brain and Fred retreated accordingly, taking Harper with him several meters from the encirclement to stay away from the fight that was about to commence.

Matthew unsheathed his sword and called out, "Very well, I'll help you make your dream come true, so that you may you die a
