Chapter 936 The Qin Clans Sudden Visit (Part Two)

    Chapter 936 The Qin n''s Sudden Visit (Part Two)


    "Don''t be so formal with me, please. I think we are close enough to forgo all these polite remarks."


    Darren stretched out his hand and tried to rub Harper''s head, but was stopped by Matthew at once.


    "Behave yourself!" the protective husband demanded. As he shook off Darren''s hand, a look of danger


    filled his eyes.


    "Oh, I forgot. You''re married, so you''re no longer the little girl you used to be. I''ll go back then. I will let


    you know if I''vee upon any news," Darren finally said, forcing a polite smile.


    "Okay," Harper replied. She nodded her head quickly, hinting that Darren should run out as fast as he


    could. An air of hostility was already running high in the air, an aura way different from what she sensed


    whenever Zack was around. Matthew was on the guard against Darren somehow, and it showed on his


    face every time Darren was near.


    After Darren left, Harper looked at Matthew in confusion and asked, "Honey, why are you so hostile


    towards him?"


    "I don''t like that man!" That was the only exnation Matthew gave amidst his fit of unhappiness. He


    then deepened his frown to further show his low opinion of her friend. But aside from that, he said no


    more. This had embarrassed Harper a lot, to the extent that she found it hard to pick the right words to


    continue the topic, so she just started a new one. "Matthew, do you think that Rndo is here, in the


    Phoenix City?"


    "No, I don''t think so," Matthew answered firmly. "There are too many spies here in the Phoenix City. If


    he sets foot in here, he might as well be thoroughly exposed, inviting everyone to find him. He won''t be


    that stupid. And even if he does slip inside, he will disguise himself as an ordinary person so that no


    one will be suspicious of him."


    Harper nodded in agreement. Rndo was indeed a careful person. ''A persistent one, too,'' she


    thought. He would not give up snatching the other half of the Sacred Seal from her, especially now that


    he had the Heavenly Book and the other half of the seal. Rndo would do everything to find her and


    to get what he wanted from her.


    But to Harper''s surprise, instead of Rndo, it was a middle-aged woman who turned out to be a


    member of the long-hidden Qin n that came knocking on her door soon after Darren''s visit.


    "My name is Beth Qin, and I''m from the Qin n," the woman revealed, looking at Harper rather


    indifferently.


    Harper could not sense even the slightest friendliness from the woman in front of her. Actually, the


    woman seemed to be defensive towards her, even though she was the one who came to them first.


    She and Matthew hadn''t even started looking for the members of the n.


    "How is Felton?" asked Harper as she lifted her tea cup, blew on it, and sipped on it, "Is he all right?"


    Beth Qin looked at Harper, and frowned the moment she noticed that her cold demeanor wasn''t


    causing her to be rmed. "He''s fine," she replied, still indifferently.


    "How are the children in the orphanage?" Harper then asked, without even looking at Beth Qin''s face.


    For her, she was just a stranger. No matter what the Qin n wanted from her, it all depended on


    whether she was willing to cooperate with them or not.

    "Not bad." Looking at the calm andposed face of Harper, Beth Qin was quite unhappy. "Lady


    Victoria wants to see you."


    Harper finally raised her head and asked the woman, "Who are you talking about?"


    "Victoria, your grandmother." Beth Qin was frowning with a darkened face, showing no intention to hide


    her dissatisfaction. For all these years, they had helped Harper a lot. Now it was time for the girl to


    repay them.


    "But my grandmother died 20 years ago," Harper said indifferently. No one escaped from the disaster


    back in the imperial capital, except her herself. The olddy this woman mentioned couldn''t be her


    grandmother.


    The middle-aged woman didn''t expect that Harper would react like this. Normally, one should be happy


    to hear that his or her grandmother was still alive. Why was Harper still so calm hearing the news?


    "Victoria is our lord''s concubine."


    "Then whoever you are talking about is not my grandmother." Harper put down her tea cup and asked,


    "With due respect, is that all you want to saying all this way to find me? If that is everything, then


    you may leave now," Harper demanded in a casual air.


    "What did you say, Harper Chu? Don''t forget that you are a member of the Qin n!" Beth Qin said in


    an angry voice. She hade and invited Harper in person, but this girl had gone too far as to be this


    unappreciative.


    With a forced sneer, Harper looked at the woman and said, "Beth, it seems to me you know that my


    name is Harper Chu now. So you must have also realized that my family name is Chu, not Qin."


    "You..." Beth Qin stretched out her finger and pointed at Harper, trembling with fury. In the past, none


    other than Felton in the n had ever contacted with Harper. Harper was only a name mentioned


    sometimes to most of them. But she didn''t expect that after Harper had gained her current position,


    with their help of course, she would just turn her back on the whole n. This was outrageous!


    "So, are you trying to deny that you are a member of the Qin n?" she asked Harper again for


    confirmation.


    "Have you and your n ever considered me as a member of you?" Harper asked in reply. For all


    these years, she had met only a few people of the Qin n. Other than Felton, his servants, and


    people in the orphanage, she had only heard about other few members. But she didn''t know too much


    about them, to tell the truth. It was fair to say that she didn''t know how big the n was, and how many


    people were there. Now, Felton disappeared out of thin air, so did the children of the orphanage. And at


    this point, the n sent someone to summon her. It was inevitable that she felt she was being


    threatened with the safety of Felton and those children.


    Beth Qin blurted out, "Of course, without the help of our whole n, you wouldn''t have gained what you


    have in hand today! Don''t be so ungrateful!"


    Hearing this, Harper was pissed off andughed out loud. The woman in front of her imed that the


    Qin n had helped her a lot in the past years. But for all she knew, they had only told her some


    information and asked her to find a way to help them get rid of the influence of the spiritual power. They


    had never helped her in any way other than that.


    "Let me make it clear today. If the n wants to see me, fine. Send Felton to invite me. Otherwise, who


    knows whether you are from the Qin n or not? Now, security,e and see thisdy out!" Without


    hesitation, Harper drove the woman away. She was not fond of, or interested in anyone from the Qin


    n except for Felton!
