"I'm just doing a favor for the disciple of an old friend of mine. Although I am a monk now, I couldn't refuse him so relentlessly,"
Thubten said with a gentle smile. "Your Highness, you're too hostile."
Matthew picked up a stone, played with it for a while, and then placed it down back on the board. "You haven't seen me when I
was more hostile. I won't hesitate to kill anyone who would dare to take my woman from me. If you feel that you can lay hands on
my people, I don't mind if the Holy Chant Temple disappears from the Bright Dynasty from now on."
"Amitabha," Thubten chanted. Finally, the color of his face changed. "I'm a monk. I don't have the slightest intention of taking
anybody from you, Your Highness. It's only that since those things belonged to her in the first place, they will return to her sooner
or later. All your efforts in preventing that from happening would be in vain. Besides, don't think you're smarter than her. If she is
determined to leave, you can't stop her."
"Don't forget that she is my princess, my only wife." Giving a cold look at Thubten, Matthew put down one more stone on the
board. After that, Thubten found he had no way to go on the board.
"I lose. Your Highness, your Go skills are getting better."
"Thank you, Master Thubten," Matthew said. And he then stood up and walked out.
"Your Highness," Thubten called him from behind. "There is something in my mind, but I am not sure whether or not I should
share it with you."
"Now that you're hesitant, you are free to maintain your silence. I never believe in fate. I only have belief in just two people—one
is she; and the other is me, myself," Matthew said without turning around. He gazed at the crescent moon in the night sky. "For
me, she, and only she is important. Nothing or nobody would even come close."
people in this world," Thubten said worriedly. Matthew was very hostile, and the only person who could repress his hostility was
Harper. However, Matthew's hostility was way too strong recently, frightening Thubten very much. Matthew left silently without
replying to Thubten. Would Matthew give consideration to the common people in this world? It was something to be waited for.
and watched. A war was about to break out and cause chaos. In such a situation, there wouldn't be anyone who could keep out
of the issue. Once the war broke out, the common people would be the most affected. They would be the ones who would lose
their homes, and would be forced to drift from place to place. Matthew didn't believe that he could prevent the inevitable. Misery
and chaos would always follow a war, and no one could stop it.
After leaving Thubten's room, Matthew didn't go back to his own room directly, but disappeared in the dark. After getting rid of
Barry, Marquis Scarlet didn't leave immediately. Instead, he just waited around for another chance to meet with Harper alone, so
he could make things clearer for himself. However, before he got the chance, Matthew found him. Seeing Matthew appear in
front of him, Marquis Scarlet couldn't help but spit secretly. He couldn't have been more unlucky. Since Fred broke into Harper's
room while he was there, he didn't have time to talk with Harper. When he came out of the room,
Barry stopped him. After a tussle, he got rid of Barry, but now Matthew was standing in front of him. Scarlet was only but a lamb
in the tiger's den.
"Long time no see, Prince Matthew... Hey, you're going too far. How could you attack me as soon as you see me?!" While
Marquis Scarlet was hoping for a way to fool Matthew, Matthew launched a fierce attack, leaving him with no chance to explain.
Every move of Matthew was powerful and harsh, intending to kill him. Soon, Marquis Scarlet was in a tight spot.
"You've crossed the limit, Matthew Jun!" Marquis Scarlet shouted, flying into a rage. But he was never a match for Matthew. He
got completely suppressed by Matthew.
consequences of killing me? She will blame you for a lifetime." "She will only clap her hands and praise me!" Matthew said with
contempt. "That's because she has lost her memory. One day when she regains her memory, which she will, she will never
forgive you if for doing this," Marquis Scarlet roared, gritting his teeth. He couldn't help but curse Matthew in his heart. In his
thought, Matthew
had already taken the chance of Harper's loss of memory to marry her in his absence, and now he was going way too far by
trying to kill him and silence him forever.
Matthew stopped and glared at Marquis Scarlet with murderous eyes. While wiping his blood away, Marquis Scarlet said, "I didn't
believe it at first. But now, I am certain that the girl had lost her memory. When did this happen? Was it after she went down the
mountain?"
Matthew's eyes were gleaming at Marquis Scarlet's words. In fact, Harper hadn't lost her memory since she went down the
mountain, but since the time she was in Maxwell's mansion. Maybe someone conspired against her there. The person who
would have plotted against her must be someone whom she had trusted, as well as a good martial artist. However, despite
conducting investigations based on his suspect list, Matthew couldn't find out the person.
"Matthew Jun, I think you owe me an explanation," Marquis Scarlet said.
"Explanation? To you?" Matthew snorted coldly. "You don't deserve it!"
"But, I'm her senior fellow brother! We learned from the same master for so many years!"
"Senior fellow brother, you say? I don't know how she would react when she knows that her senior fellow brother almost killed
her younger brother," Matthew asked. His eyes were darker than the dark night. Hearing this, Marquis Scarlett couldn't help but
grit his teeth.
"I didn't do that. Even though Scarlet Devils might have taken part in it, you know very well that they are contract killers. They
would do it for anyone who would hire them. But Matthew, you must remember one thing. She will regain her memory sooner or
later. Do you believe she will stay with you once after regaining her memory?" Marquis Scarlet's laughter sounded especially
harsh in the night. "Well, I am looking forward to that day."
