Forensic Imperial Concubine

Chapter 946 Working Together To Repel The Assassins

As Douglas pondered silently, a red rose suddenly bloomed in the sky. Much like a firework, it was beautiful but temporary.

Matthew gave Harper a searching look. This was the special signal bomb she used to inform him she needed rescue. But she was right by his side now, so who was giving off that signal?

"Rolando is in danger, and he's asking for our help."

Feeling slightly guilty at what she'd done, Harper chuckled ruefully. "I was worried that if Rolando ran away, finding him would be difficult since I had no way to contact him. So I gave him a signal bomb."

"You do know that his death would save us a lot of trouble, right? There's no need to worry about him,"

Matthew said lazily. "Even if we don't save that bastard, it's not as if he'll die."

Harper pushed him lightly and said, "We can take this opportunity to coerce Rolando to hand over the Heavenly Books and the half Sacred Seal. It's the perfect chance, and we can't miss it. It won't be that easy to catch him next time if he runs."

Matthew looked at Harper and asked, "That's all there is?"

"I swear, that's all!"

Harper said immediately. She wouldn't dare to have anything else to do with Rolando, not with such an overtly jealous husband around. There was no telling what cruel way he'd choose to release that anger.

Her reaction pleased him. At once, he stood up and called his subordinate, "Barry!"

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Take the two of them back to the stronghold outside the city. I'll go with Harper to see if Rolando is dead."

With that, he put his arm around Harper's waist and flew away instantly. Patrick, who had been gnawing at a bone, was surprised to find its master had vanished. After giving the beast a pitiful look, Barry tried to soothe it.

"His Highness and Her Highness will be back soon," he said.

Barry didn't know if Patrick could understand him, but it jumped from Douglas's head to his, then solemnly continued biting on the bone.

Rolando never dreamed that he would have to go to Matthew one day for help, but he knew he was no match for his rivals. Seriously injured, Miguel and Rupert were still stubbornly by his side.

Blood dripped down Rolando's hand that was holding the sword. The killers surrounding him still kept coming closer, intent on killing him.
