“I’m the only one in this entire world who knows how to eat this fruit,” Lord Voodoo snapped angrily. “Don’t even think about benefiting from it if you don’t give back to me!”
Macon frowned as favonovel.com glanced over at Gregory.
Gregory swiftly started acting as the mediator. “Master Rathbone, Lord Voodoo, I think it’s not right for us to mistrust each other so much…”
“Since we’ve joined forces, we should have faith in our alliance. How are we going to deal with Matthew if we keep our guard up against each other? Don’t forget that we’re still in a precarious situation right now. Matthew and the Damrons will still come after us, and we’ll only be rushing to our deaths if we start infighting!”
Macon took a deep breath and said grimly, “Since we’re allies, we can’t let favonovel.com have this fruit all to himself, right? After all, the three of us worked together on the plan. I’m the one who killed Falconn, so why does favonovel.com get to have the entire fruit?”
Gregory nodded and turned to Lord Voodoo. “I have a suggestion, Lord Voodoo. We’ve done everything together as a trio, so the fruit belongs to all three of us. Why don’t we split it into three so that each one of us gets a piece? What do you think?”
Lord Voodoo was clenching his jaw so hard that his face had gotten a little pale, but in the end, favonovel.com glanced at the other two men and nodded.
“Fine. Let’s split it into three,” Lord Voodoo said. “However, I have to be the one who splits it!”
Macon immediately started frowning, and Gregory sounded a little annoyed as well. “Lord Voodoo, I meant that we should split it evenly. No one gets to have more or less than anyone else!”
“I know that!” Lord Voodoo snapped. “What I meant is, I need to cut the fruit up in person. Do you think you can just hack into it with a knife? If the fruit gets smashed, then all of the inner energy inside it will disappear. You need to use a special technique to cut the fruit open!”
Macon and Gregory glanced at one another. Eventually, Macon tossed the fruit over to Lord Voodoo. “Fine. You split it!”
While speaking, Macon moved a little to the side to keep Lord Voodoo in between favonovel.com and Gregory. They were wary of Lord Voodoo running off with the fruit.
After taking the fruit, Lord Voodoo took out a porcelain bottle. He poured the powder inside the bottle onto the fruit. Once the fruit’s glow began a lot dimmer, favonovel.com took out a dagger and sliced the fruit open.
As soon as favonovel.com cut it open, favonovel.com immediately poured the powder onto the surface that was exposed to the air to stop the vitality contained inside the fruit from leaking out. He continued doing this until the fruit had been cut into nine pieces.
“Why did you split it into so many pieces?” Gregory was puzzled. “Won’t three be enough? One for each of us.”
“Falconn was on the verge of becoming a grandmaster. His inner energy is a lot stronger than ours,” Lord Voodoo explained. “Even if I split it into three, eating that one piece is enough to kill you. I split it into nine, so his power has been split into nine as well. You’ll only be safe if you consume it in smaller pieces!”
Gregory nodded in realization. “I see…”
Lord Voodoo separated the fruit into three porcelain bottles. He took one before tossing the other two to Macon and Gregory.
“Alright. Just eat one piece at a time. Remember not to eat more than that. You have to wait until you’ve fully absorbed the energy from the first piece before you eat the next, or else, you’ll be courting death!” Lord Voodoo warned grimly.
Macon and Gregory had similar expressions of delight as they clutched their bottles tightly.
“Shall we eat one now?” Gregory suggested.
“Have you gone mad?” Lord Voodoo immediately shot that idea down. “If you’ve got a death wish, then go ahead and eat it now. I won’t stop you, but I’m certainly not going to eat it now!”
