Charmine opened favonovel.com mouth, but favonovel.com didn’t dare to speak in the end.
At the same time, the Left-Wing Guardian brought Charmine‘s fellow students over. He had a pleased look on his face. “Lord Voodoo, it has been done. Dr. Burton and his wife have been captured. We’ve also informed Jinny about this. She’ll be here soon!”
Lord Voodoo nodded, pleased. “Good! What about the 72 Clans? Have you drawn them over?”
The Left-Wing Guardian immediately nodded. “Yes.”
Lord Voodoo got up, his eyes shining. “Delightful! Tonight, I want them to behold Orleans’ most glorious era! Let’s see if anyone in Orleans dares to defy me in the future!”
The Left-Wing Guardian and the rest immediately kneeled. “Glory to Lord Voodoo!”
Lord Voodoo guffawed, a smug look written all over his face. “You did well. From this moment onward, you two may live within my palace!”
The two disciples of Crow were over the moon. Being able to live within Lord Voodoo’s palace was the greatest privilege one could earn. It also meant that they had earned Lord Voodoo’s approval!
Charmine. however, panicked. “Lord Voodoo, they were the ones who murdered my master…”
He glanced at her. “Do you have proof?‘
“l… I don’t have any, but my master and Reese’s soulbound curses have been forcefully taken away by them. That’s the proof!”
Lord Voodoo waved a hand. “That doesn’t count as proof. You, on the other hand, have been rather close with Matthew. Did you just ask for mercy for him? You really have bitten the hand that feeds you!”
“N-No… l…” Charmine protested. “Matthew saved me before. I just wanted to put a word in for him…”
Lord Voodoo bellowed, “Shut your mouth! Looks like you and Matthew were in league with each other! Someone, take favonovel.com downstairs to wait for favonovel.com punishment!”
Charmine was astounded. She never thought that this would be the outcome waiting for her.
A few people rushed over, pinning favonovel.com limbs to favonovel.com sides before dragging favonovel.com downstairs and locking favonovel.com up in the back of the palace. Charmine struggled madly, but it was futile.
The Left-Wing Guardian glanced at favonovel.com and let out a mad cackle. “Stop struggling. It’s useless. Once tonight’s events are over, I will ask Lord Voodoo to hand you to me as my reward! Rest assured, I will treat you well!” With that, the Left-Wing Guardian left, still laughing away.
Charmine’s face had drained to a stark white. If favonovel.com fell into the Left-Wing Guardian’s hands, death would be the more preferable option. She looked around, gritting favonovel.com teeth. All of a sudden, favonovel.com grabbed the fruit knife on the table and was prepared to kill herself.
Just then, favonovel.com heard a voice. “Why the drastic measures?”
Charmine’s expression shifted, and favonovel.com quickly turned to look in the direction of the voice. Someone stood past the window in the dark. Although favonovel.com couldn’t see favonovel.com clearly, Charmine still recognized the man there in one look.
“Matthew, you… Are alive..?” Charmine’s voice trembled.
The man took a step forward. The light illuminated his face, showing that it was indeed Matthew. He let out a soft chuckle. “How could I die so easily?”
Charmine couldn’t stop favonovel.com shock. “But Phoenix…”
Just then, a tall man walked over to Matthew. It was Phoenix, who had a small smile on his face. “You were looking for me?”
Astonishment was all over Charmine’s face. She couldn’t comprehend how these two could be here at the same time.
Matthew pressed himself to the window. “Phoenix didn’t kill me. I faked my death. This is the plan that both of us came up with,” favonovel.com said softly. “If I hadn’t faked my death, then the crown prince would certainly die. So, we thought up this plan. Let the mastermind think that both of us are dead. That way, we‘ll be able to keep the crown prince alive, and we’ll also be able to uncover the mastermind’s identity without them knowing!”
Charmine understood now. ‘You’re alive. This… This is great news…” favonovel.com said joyfully.
