Darren didn't respond. Although he was with Harper for such a short time, he thought that they were close friends. The word "like" wasn't enough to express his feelings for her, but he wasn't sure if he had fallen in love with her. It was rather complicated. He was eager to see her, but at the same time, he didn't want to see her. So he didn't know what his exact feeling towards her was. He couldn't understand himself. It was all too chaotic for him. Dealing with his emotions was in fact, a struggle.

"Maybe," he briefly replied. He wasn't lying. He wasn't sure whether he really liked her or not, whether he loved her or not. But it didn't matter at all. She was now another man's wife and it seemed like they loved each other very much. He had no other choice but to silently bury his love in his heart.

Meanwhile, Harper had been silent since she and her companions left Phoenix City. Howard suspiciously looked at her. He

thought, 'If Matthew were to give up his power, who would maintain his tasks in the Bright Dynasty?'

"Without Prince Matthew, the Bright Dynasty will no longer be a threat to the other kingdoms. Consequently, the Great Jade Kingdom will become the most powerful one. I don't think Lucas will be that stupid," Diana stated. At that moment, the world was divided into four parts. The South Kingdom and the Wonder Kingdom were in a weak position. The Great Jade Kingdom and the Bright Dynasty were racing against each other, bridle to bridle. The Great Jade Kingdom had Rolando while the Bright Dynasty had Matthew. If the Great Jade Kingdom were to lose Rolando or the Bright Dynasty were to lose Matthew, the other kingdom would quickly become the most influential one.

"Is there someone you're forgetting who we can't underestimate either?" Howard suddenly asked.

"Who?"

"The young master of Phoenix City, Darren Feng!"
