Lord Voodoo never thought there’d be someone hiding in the vicinity.
“Give that back!” favonovel.com roared as soon as the fruit was snatched from under his nose.
He charged forward to get the fruit back. However, yet another person snuck out from the side and started attacking Lord Voodoo. The two of them flew backward in opposite directions due to the impact of the attack.
Lord Voodoo was back at his original spot. He studied the two men carefully and realized it was Macon and Gregory.
It was Macon who took the fruit!
Gregory was the one who came out to stop favonovel.com just now.
Lord Voodoo’s expression stiffened. He never thought the two would have followed favonovel.com here.
However, favonovel.com quickly composed himself and smiled. “Ah… It’s the two of you. You gave me a such fright! l was wondering who it was. You shouldn’t be holding onto that fruit, Master Rathbone. It contains a deadly poison that’s very hard to treat if it enters your system.”
Macon sneered. “Do you think we’re children, Lord Voodoo? You seem like you couldn’t wait to swallow it whole just now, so why are you trying to tell me that it’s poison?”
Lord Voodoo had an awkward look in his eyes as favonovel.com quickly explained, “You don’t understand, Master Rathbone. This is something extremely beneficial to me, but for you, it’s a deadly poison. Do you know what’s inside this fruit?”
“It’s a special kind of bug from Orleans that I cultivated myself. You have to be careful not to trigger the bugs inside, or things will get very dangerous for you!”
However, Gregory didn’t want to listen to any of this. “Are you still trying to lie to us now, Lord Voodoo? I’ll be frank with you. I’ve been suspicious of you right from the start, so you’re not going to be tricked by you now!”
“W-What did I do?” Lord Voodoo asked. “Why are you suspicious of me?”
Gregory snorted. “We started suspecting you much earlier on when you tried to talk us out of killing Aurelius. And after killing Falconn, the wisest choice for us would be to run away from Eastcliff as fast as possible, yet you insisted on wanting to rest in the area…”
“That was too strange. Do you think no one noticed anything? I’ll tell you right now… Macon and I have been keeping our eyes on you this whole time tonight. We’ve been tailing you ever since you snuck out and came here. We saw every single thing you did…”
“Here’s a word of advice, Lord Voodoo. Tell us the truth about what you’re doing, or else, don’t blame us for not showing you any mercy!”
Lord Voodoo was dumbstruck. Never in his wildest dreams would favonovel.com have thought that the other two would catch onto everything favonovel.com was doing.
Earlier tonight, favonovel.com snuck out alone because favonovel.com wanted to avoid the two of them. He never expected that the two of them had been suspicious of favonovel.com all along. He let out a long sigh. “Gregory, Master Rathbone, since you’ve seen everything, I won’t try to hide it from you anymore…”
“I had no choice but to do what I did today. As you know, I had to consume quite a few of my Immortal Bugs. I don’t have that many left. If I want to become strong again, I need to gain more Immortal Bugs. The best way to do that is to find a powerful person’s body and use his strength to nourish the Immortal Bugs…”
“You’re right. I had an ulterior motive for wanting you to kill Falconn tonight. I wanted to use his body to replenish my Immortal Bugs.”
Gregory spat on the ground in contempt. “Hah! A likely story!”
“Replenishing your Immortal Bugs, huh? Do you think we’re fools?!”
“The three of us are in this together now. If you merely wanted to regain your power, the two of us would’ve done everything we could to help you, but you tried to hide all of this from us, which can only mean one thing!”
“This fruit must be something incredibly powerful, and that’s why you want to keep it from us!”
