Harper and her companions were only in Phoenix City for a brief amount of time. Similar to the way they entered the city in
secret, they silently left, as if they were just mere passers-by who had a cursory glance at the city.
Meanwhile, Diana felt that it was so unreal that she had actually entered the city and came out of it in one piece. It was so
surreal that she felt like she was stepping on cotton while they were on their way out.
"Master, we did come out of the Labyrinth Swamp alive! Not only that, we also managed to pass through Phoenix City! I can't
believe it!" Diana exclaimed while pinching her face. She was beyond ecstatic that it seemed like she couldn't feel the pain from
her pinch.
Upon hearing her words, Harper pinched one of Diana's legs really hard. This time, the pain was so harsh that tears almost
came out from Diana's eyes. "Do you believe it now?" Harper asked.
Harper loosened her grip on Diana's leg after seeing that Diana was slowly nodding her head. Harper's pinch hurt so bad that
Diana started to gently rub her leg to ease the pain. In fact, tears were finally welled up in her eyes.
Then, Harper climbed on top of her horse and got ready for their journey to the Birch Pass. But before she rode away, she turned
around and looked at the gate tower. Almost instantly, she saw a familiar figure. Even if she couldn't see the person clearly
because she was too far away, she immediately recognized him.
Standing beside Daphne was a handsome man. She trembled a little and muttered, "Darren, why are you here?"

At that point in time, Harper happened to meet Darren's eyes while she looked back at the gate tower. She noticed that Darren's
lips were moving as if he was saying something to her. But even though Daphne was standing right next to him, she wasn't able
to hear or recognize what he was saying. However, Harper nodded her head evidently, like she understood his words. Without

anyone..." Daphne's voice trailed away as if she was too afraid or embarrassed since she did something wrong. The truth of the matter was that nothing in Phoenix City could be hidden from Darren. He didn't show up because he was well aware that Harper didn't want him to. "Did she enter the city from the Labyrinth Swamp?" Darren gently asked. His voice was so soft and charming that it was so easy to make people

want you to worry about her. Instantly, there was worry in Darren's eyes when he said, "Did she... get hurt?" Daphne sighed. "Don't worry. That monster is fine. All of her companions were injured, but she

that she's the only one who can do that."
Darren was not pleased that Daphne called Harper monster. "She is not a monster!" he exclaimed.
"Okay, fine, she isn't. She's a goddess." While rolling her eyes, she added, "I don't know what's wrong with her. How could she
choose Matthew over you? You're such a great man. What's so good about her husband anyway? You're so much better than
him!"
Darren didn't respond. He always believed that Harper did it for a reason. In the beginning, it might have been because she was
