Chapter 959 Victoria''s Suggestion (Part Two)
Daphne closed her eyes and didn''t say anything. She was afraid that if she kept asking, she would get
an answer she couldn''t ept, so she chose to be silent. Now that her brother was taken care of by
Harper and would be fine, she wouldn''t give this man any chance to threaten her brother with her.
"My Lord, the olddy is here." The voice of a secret guard sounded outside the door.
Derrick stopped cultivating and said slowly, "Let her in."
The door was opened. It was an old woman with grey hair. She walked in on a crutch and looked
energetic. It was Victoria. She greeted, "Lord Derrick."
"The n has changed. We have to take action in advance. We have investigated about Matthew''s
base outside the city. You send some people to destroy this ce. Then lead your soldiers to join me
and attack Phoenix City," Derrick said in a deep voice.
Victoria was surprised. "We seem to have no enough people to surround Phoenix City."
"Don''t forget that I am the lord of Phoenix City. Without me, the soldiers of Phoenix City cannot be
mobilized by Darren. Now that we have fallen out with Matthew, I have topletely control the city
before his ck g Army arrives," Derrick slowly responded.
"After all these years, Lord Darren has grown stronger. It''s not easy to get the city back from him."
Victoriaughed in a triumphant way. After all, Darren was not a fool. How could he not know what
Derrick could figure out? Perhaps, a trap had been set in the city, waiting for him to step in.
"He doesn''t dare to act rashly." Casting a nce at Daphne who was thrown in the corner, Derrick
continued, "After all, they are siblings with deep affection. He will not give up his sister."
Daphne gritted her teeth and thought, ''You really want to threaten Darren with me, but I won''t let you
get what you want.''
Victoria nced at Daphne, aplicated light shing in her eyes. After all, the olddy and Derrick
were the same sort of people. In their eyes, children were pawns. If they could exchange their children
for benefits, as long as the chips were enough, they would not hesitate at all.
"Lord Derrick, now that things have be like this, I think we need to revise our cooperation."
Victoria was a sophisticated old woman. She had nned to take advantage of Harper to get the
Heavenly Books and Sacred Seal. But unexpectedly, Harper was useless, for Rndo had got them.
Fortunately, Rndo had other intentions and irritated Matthew. Thus, his empire was destroyed by the
prince and he fell into his hands again. This meant that the Heavenly Books and Sacred Seal had been
given back to Harper again. All the olddy needed to do was lower herself and apologize to Harper.
And then she would find a good excuse to cheat her into opening the secret realm first after sending
people to lurk around in advance. After the secret realm was opened, they would just capture Harper.
With such a good n, there was no need to cooperate with Derrick.
How could Derrick not understand Victoria''s intention? "Do you think Harper will believe you again?"
"After all, we are family."
"Do you think Darren will believe me again?" Derrick asked faintly. Darren would not believe him
anymore, and he would do whatever he could to make his father pay back what he had suffered.
Victoria didn''t change her face. She also had doubts on her mind. ''If Harper refuses to believe me, and
I have no more chips, it would be extremely difficult to get things from her.''
"I have my own way."
"You have no way. Even after the Chu n, which had brought her up, angered her, she did not
hesitate to destroy it, not to mention some distant rtives by blood. Believe it or not, as long as you
show up in front of Harper, she will kill you!" Derrick sneered.
Of course Victoria believed that. She had witnessed how ruthless and vicious Harper was, so she was
afraid that Harper was too sensitive and found that they were just using her. That was why she
cooperated with Derrick, aiming to use him to deal with Matthew. But now Derrick had lost his
controlling power of Phoenix City, so he couldn''t be a good partner.
"If I escort you to cooperate with Harper, will she agree?" asked Victoria softly.
Hearing that, Derrick burst intoughter. Then he said, "That depends on whether you have the ability
to capture me."
Victoria looked at the sedate Derrick with some hesitation. Beside him was Daphne lying on the floor.
For these years, under the protection of Darren, Daphne was not a person easy to get along with. If the
father and daughter worked together, as well as Derrick''s people, perhaps they would both be injured.
"Don''t you think my suggestion is a good one?" Victoria thought quickly. She had already figured out
how to restrain Harper, or how to make her cooperate with them.

A trace of confusion shed on Derrick''s face. He thought carefully about what Victoria said, and
immediately understood what she meant. She would use him to deceive Harper, and then keep
Daphne in her hand as a hostage to suppress Harper. If Victoria proposed to cooperate again, a war
would be avoided.
"Yes, it''s a feasible idea," Derrick said slowly. He was willing to achieve his goal without resorting to
forces. Although he was the lord of Phoenix City, he had been outside searching for the secret of the
Qin n during the past ten years. Darren had long controlled the whole city. Now, probably very few
people in the city were willing to listen to his words. Therefore, Victoria''s suggestion was worth a try.
