Chapter 709 Teach Him A Lesson (Part One)


    Francis'' eyes dted at the sight of the woman next to Matthew and even his face instantly turned pale.


    Then, he furiously shifted his gaze toward Jason. Jason was the one he asked to keep a close eye on


    Harper, yet she had been found and taken away by Matthew.


    Seeing the look on Francis'' face, Jason felt a bit guilty. He was meaning to tell Francis the truth that


    Harper had regained her memory as well as her special fighting ability. Even the secret guards in the


    Sleek Pce failed to stop her from running away. After all, Matthew was with her the entire time,


    which made them unmatchable. But he couldn''t let Francis find out the truth. If Francis were to find out


    that he hid this from him, it would only make him even more furious.


    "My empress, don''t you think that you''re in the wrong ce?" Francis asked in a resolute tone as he


    stared at Harper, not bothering to look at Matthew at all.

    However, Harper merely yawned and pretended to be sleepy. Then, she said to Matthew, "Darling,


    please save me. I have been trapped in the Imperial Pce for days, and I couldn''t really eat or sleep


    well. What''s more, I felt so sad and lonely. Especially these officials are really annoying! On one hand,


    they cursed me and imed that I was a woman of easy virtue. But on the other hand, they forced me


    to marry Francis. I have really been wronged."


    When they heard her words, all the ministers broke out in a cold sweat. They all groaned in their


    hearts, ''Lady Harper, you can''t use us of anything. We have never really forced you to marry Prince


    Francis. It was you who wrote a divorce agreement to Prince Matthew so you could marry Prince


    Francis. We had nothing to do with that. You did this in order to get a higher status and be the


    future empress. So, why are you suddenly ming us for everything?''


    Although they were actually quite furious deep inside, none of them had the guts to speak out. If they


    dared to say anything that would contradict her, they were afraid that she might say even more absurd


    things to Matthew. Matthew loved and trusted her a lot, so he would certainly me them instead. She


    was such a cunning and spiteful woman!


    "Yes, you are right. They all deserve to be punished," Matthew said soothingly.


    "And it''s not just these officials, but your nephew as well!" Harper protested as she pointed toward


    Francis, pulling a long face. "This guy copied my handwriting and wrote a divorce agreement to you.


    And he even made it known to everyone, which made me look like a wicked woman who was used


    of abandoning her original husband all for the sake of wealth and fame. You really need to teach him a


    lesson!"


    "Yeah, I need to teach him a lesson," Matthew echoed.


    There was a nk look on Francis'' face, and his smile had long disappeared. He had actually guessed


    that Matthew would return, but he hadn''t anticipated that Lucas would still be alive. Even before,


    Francis had suspected that his father wanted Lucas to be the heir, so he sent his men all the way to kill


    him. However, he never would''ve thought that Lucas managed to escape by faking his death. Needless


    to say, Matthew was the one who came up with this idea. After all, he did not believe that Lucas was


    smart nor capable enough to pull it off all by himself.


    "It''s good to know that you''re all right, Uncle Matthew. But you''ve already divorced her. She is going to


    be my wife and empress soon. Don''t you think what you''re doing is inappropriate?" Francis felt


    extremely offended and upset upon seeing Matthew holding Harper in his arms.


    After that, Matthew put down Harper and made her stand firm. "Wait right here. I''m going to teach that


    arrogant guy a lesson first," he said with such tenderness in his eyes.


    "Okay! p him in the face for me," Harper said, encouraging him.


    "Okay." As soon as he said that, he flew down in an instant and went straight toward Francis in an


    aggressive manner. Seeing this, Jason immediately stood in front of Francis to fight with Matthew


    head-on. However, with just one swift move, he was thrown out by Matthew with ease and flew directly


    toward the pce wall. As she watched from a distance, Harper thought that it must be extremely


    painful to suffer such an attacking from Matthew.


    Francis couldn''t risk being careless when faced with Matthew''s attacks. As soon as Jason was thrown


    out, Francisunched an attack at one of Matthew''s vital parts. But Matthew swiftly turned over and


    dodged the attack. In the blink of an eye, his killing intent came spilling out his body. The people around


    him were so frightened that they froze on the spot. Everyone knew that Matthew was extremely


    powerful on the battlefield. As long as he was standing on the battlefield, it would be impossible for his


    enemy to escape his attacks. Before, they had assumed that this was just an exaggeration. But at that


    moment, they had the chance to witness everything firsthand and it turned out to be true. The malicious


    aura emanating from him sent shivers down their spines as they watched this fierce fight. They


    desperately wanted to get as far away from them as possible, but they were so frightened that they


    couldn''t do a thing because fear had rendered thempletely immobile.


    Although Zack was good at martial arts to some degree, he didn''t really have exceptional skills. He


    could only fight with ordinary people. So, when he was faced with such an overwhelming atmosphere,


    his face turned pale a bit. Then, he took a step backward calmly and moved away little by little. Truth


    be told, he was actually thinking of talking to Matthew about what happened today.


    Maxwell also did the same thing as Zack had done; he was able to slowly back off from the fighting. But


    the same thing couldn''t be said for the other officials, as they were quite pitiful. They could barely even


    move a muscle. Some of them were so scared out of their wits that they fell on their knees on the


    ground and couldn''t stand up.


    Noticing this, Lucas finally walked toward the officials and moved quickly. He helped the ministers up


    one by one to lead them to safety. He didn''t want them to be the coteral damage. After all, this


    country still needed them.


    The ministers who harbored resentment toward Lucas could not feel more grateful to him at this point.


    If Lucas hadn''t helped them, they could have been badly hurt, or worse, killed.


    With all of the ministers taken out of the dangerous area, Matthew no longer had to hold back. To


    everyone''s surprise, Francis, who had always been weak, appeared to be so skilled in fighting that he


    could hold out against Matthew for such a long time. Could it be that he wasn''t actually sick all these


    years?


    Jason directly hit the pce wall and fell to the ground, causing him even more pain. At that moment,


    he could tell that all of his bones had been broken. It felt so bad that he stared at Matthew with such


    resentment. ''Uncle Matthew, you are such ruthless. In spite of everything, I am still your nephew. Even


    though I am just two years younger than you, I am still your nephew. How could you have the heart to


    beat me up so badly? What if I got killed?''
