Miguel quickly understood that Harper was only taunting him. As anger took hold of his heart, he thought of what his purpose
was, and was able to calm himself down. "His Majesty and you are sharing the Deathly Kalpa. To ensure that it won't hurt His
Majesty, I have to arrest you. Lady Harper, I'm so sorry. I'll have to cripple your martial arts and break your limbs before I bring
you back to the Great Jade Kingdom."
Harper's eyes immediately turned cold and with a wink of an eye, she launched an attack against Miguel. This stunned Miguel at
first, but then he immediately collected himself and fought back. He already sustained a bruise on his face because of this sneak
attack.
"Harper Chu!" Miguel snarled.
"I can hear you. You don't have to yell like that," Harper said coldly. "In order to thank you for what you have prepared for me, I
will give you a gift. Today, I'll break one of your legs!"
As Harper and Miguel began fighting, the 12 secret guards too started to take on the imperial secret guards led by Miguel
simultaneously. With this development, Harper knew she only needed to deal with Miguel.
Miguel perceived Harper as someone who was merely good at martial arts and not a first-class master. The thing he didn't
expect was the fact that she was a match for him. If she escaped, he knew that it wouldn't be easy for him to catch her again.
With this thought in his mind, Miguel knew that he had to accomplish what he set out to do right then and there. A murderous
look then flashed across his eyes. 'As long as she's not killed, I can use some special moves to injure her and make her less

agile!' he thought. He was never an upright man, and just like Rolando, he would do anything as long as he could catch her!
Harper decided not to use her spiritual power, so she was fighting Miguel mainly with her internal force. Miguel's eyes flashed
with malice. Suddenly, he launched some kind of powder towards Harper and quickly stepped back. Harper instinctively stepped

her sleeves so that the powder would not get anywhere near her. "The Internal Force Ruining Powder! You're good." Miguel frowned and said, "I forgot you're a physician." "No offense taken.

that the coronation ceremony he invited me to was a trap of some sort. Matthew tried to tell me that several times, though indirectly, because he was afraid that I might misunderstand him and think he was only trying to sow dissension between me and Rolando. But I knew what was happening, and I never loosen my guard against you two." "You... you are so scheming." "Scheming?" Harper snickered. "If I was just a simple-minded woman, I would have already died in the filthy mansion of the

Miguel clenched his fists in anger. He still didn't know what Harper did to him and now, he was discovering that he and his
emperor had been set up—she had been plotting against them the whole time! 'Maybe even the Heavenly Book was a part of
this bitch's plans!' he thought.
"You approached His Majesty..."
"For the sake of the Heavenly Book," Harper replied flatly. "If I wanted to get that myself, I knew it would require an ungodly
amount of effort on my part. Because of that, I chose to have Rolando get it for me. But you should note that without me, that
book would be useless. No one can solve that book's mystery aside from me. So if you think about it, what happened is actually
