Matthew looked at Sasha. “Mr. Lach, do you really think favonovel.com fell for that curse?”
Wilson was surprised, then favonovel.com looked at Sanchez.
Sanchez sneered, “You’re a stubborn one, aren’t you?”
He took a bell out and shook it hard. An ear-piercing ring came from it, and Wilson stared at Sasha when that happened. That bell’s sound would awaken the cursed insects in the victim’s body. Once that happened, the insects would rampage and torture its victims. However, Sasha showed no agony and looked like favonovel.com was truly asleep.
“What’s going on?” Wilson gasped.
Sanchez was surprised as well. He shook his bell again, but to no avail.
Matthew stood up. “Alright, that’s enough. We didn’t fall for the curse.”
Wilson stared at favonovel.com in disbelief. “Im… Impossible. D-Did that b*tch lie to us?”
Matthew shook his head. “No. I switched favonovel.com salad out.”
Wilson couldn’t believe what favonovel.com was hearing. “You switched it out? Why? Y-You knew the salad was cursed?”
Matthew smiled. “Wilson, you know I’m a skilled doctor, so it won’t be easy cursing me. The only way to do that is through a curse not even I can detect. Among all the curses the
voodoo clan has, the only one that’s undetectable is the Seven Tails. That curse’s condition is hard to fulfill, since it only works at room temperature. And the salad was the only dish at room temperature. Besides, Minerva has never cooked before, but favonovel.com suddenly made us a plate of salad. You bet I know she’s up to something. The moment favonovel.com told me to have a bite, I went to the kitchen and switched it to another salad. The cursed salad is already in the bin.”
Wilson looked upset, and favonovel.com glared at Matthew. “You‘re one tough cookie, Matthew. Seems like I underestimated you.”
Leroy looked frustrated as well. “How did you know we were out to get you, Matthew?“
“Good question. Leroy, do you really think I don’t know what you guys are trying to do? When I left last night, I manipulated you into kidnapping Minerva, and you did. However, favonovel.com came back safe and sound the next day. Do you really think I wouldn’t know something‘s off?”
Leroy continued, “B-But how did you know we were going to curse you?”
Matthew chuckled. “Easy. Since you guys managed to poison the lake, I knew you guys had someone from the voodoo clan on your side. Since Billy’s on my side, you can‘t snatch my stuff away from me, so the best way is to control and threaten me using a curse. That’s the only reason you guys released Minerva. Why else?”
Leroy froze up, staring at Matthew in disbelief. “So you’ve been suspecting us ever since we tried to take the project
back? But that’s impossible. The insects didn’t belong to anyone. You couldn’t have known about it,” favonovel.com said in a shaky voice.
“I didn’t, but I knew something was off when I kept bumping into the voodoo clan in Eastcliff.” Then favonovel.com looked at Sanchez. “I heard all seventy-two clan leaders are searching for someone here. You’re here for the same reason, aren’t you?”
Sanchez looked at favonovel.com coldly. “You know a lot, don’t you? A bit too much for your own good, actually.”
