Forensic Imperial Concubine

Turning to Harper in surprise, Marquis Scarlet said, "I heard that Prince Matthew's wife is arrogant and overbearing. It wasn't until now that I found out they were telling the truth, though they forgot to mention that you're also a liar who makes irresponsible remarks and accuses others of hasty slanderous charges."

Harper laughed sarcastically before responding, "Oh, really? I did hear some things about you too, you know. I wonder what the face behind that mask really looks like."

She stretched out her hand to remove the mask from Marquis Scarlet's face. But as soon as her hand touched the mask, a silver needle was shot at her wrist. In a second, Matthew hastily pulled Harper away to protect her. Marquis Scarlet took the chance to get rid of Matthew's grip on him and quickly stepped away from them.

"I admire your agility, Prince Matthew. But next time we meet, I won't lose to you." After that, Marquis Scarlet looked at Harper with eyes full of complex emotions. At that, he was finally ready to leave.

As a glimmer of light flashed through her eyes, Harper shot three silver needles from the bracelet around her wrist towards Marquis Scarlet. The man quickly turned around to avoid the attack. But, unfortunately for him, one of the silver needles found its way into his body.

Marquis Scarlet spat out a mouthful of blood. He turned around one more time and gave a ferocious glance at Harper. Wiping off the blood from the corner of his mouth, he quickly disappeared in the darkness. All the other assassins had already fled away in different directions even before their leader could. Matthew made a gesture with his hand, ordering the secret guards who were in hiding to chase them.
