The Lady Nun Seeks Justice (Eliza Stonor) novel Chapter 364

364.Chapter 364

A sharp dagger sliced through the air, narrowly grazing the neck of the man in black

The man reacted instantly. Realizing there was someone else in the room besides the figure lying on the bed, he dodged to the side wardly and counterattacked.

The two clashed fiercely in Benedict’s room

Despite the intensity of their fight, both kept their movements restrained, careful not to alert anyone outside.

After many moves, Matthew realized the man in black was more skilled than he was, using techniques he had never encountered before.

This wasn’t Eliza’s shadow quard

Frowning. Matthew dismissed the possibility of Eliza’s involvement. Pressing his blade against the man’s defenses, he demanded. “Who are you? Why did you poison Benedict?”

The man in black didn’t respond. Instead, he just kicked Matthew hard and ran toward the inner room

Matthew immediately chased after him.

To his shock, the man headed straight for the bed, clearly intending to use Benedict as a hostage.

Matthew’s heart sank as he hurled his dagger, the blade cutting through the air.

Just then, the man in black, who was about to seize Benedict, caught sight of a flowerpot hidden behind the window. His focus shifted instinctively.

This sudden change in direction caused Matthew’s dagger to graze the man’s hand, leaving a shallow but noticeable wound.

“Stop‘ Put it down” Matthew said.

Matthew rushed to the bedside and saw the man change his target. Matthew instantly understood the true purpose of his

Intrusion.

With a sharp shout, Matthew lunged at the man with bare fists.

The man in black grabbed two flowerpots with each hand swiftly. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly hesitated, sensing something was off.

“Wait, aren’t there only supposed to be two pots? Why is the

there a third one that looks exactly the same?”

The masked man froze for a split second, but a sense of danger kicked in. He quickly dodged Matthew’s punch from behind.

What now? These pots were too bit, and there was no way he could carry all three.

While fending off Matthew’s attacks, he frowned in thought for a brief moment before making a swift decision. He ditched the pots without hesitation, yanked the flowers out by their roots, and hurled one of the pots straight at Matthew

The sound of the pots breaking finally alerted the people outside.

Matthew’s eyes widened Damn it, he’s trying to set me up!

By the time Matthew rushed after him, the masked man had already pulled out all three flowers and escaped through the

window

Left alone in the room, Matthew could hear footsteps rapidly approaching. Even now, he was still trying to cover for Sophie. He grabbed some cloth and collected the broken pieces and spilled dirt. Just as the shadow guards burst into the room, he leapt out the window and made his escape

Matthew thought he had done enough to keep Gabriel from suspecting Sophie.

“What did you find about Sophie’s flower pots and seeds? Anything suspicious? Gabriel asked.
