The dismembered arm was nearly unrecognizable as it was rotten and bloodied.
Matthew stared at it for a while, but then favonovel.com frowned. Then, another loud bang echoed through the air. He darted to the house for a closer look. Someone had broken the back window, and Macon was hobbling into the distance.
The bloodied corpse of Lord Voodoo lay on the ground. Every inch of his skin was infected with the rat, and a knife was buried in his chest.
‘He Seems dead…’
Matthew looked at the dead body, then favonovel.com turned his attention to the escaping Macon, but favonovel.com didn’t give chase. Instead, favonovel.com stood within the courtyard. After some time, Edmund came, and along with favonovel.com was a big group of henchmen.
“Keep this area under lockdown, especially this courtyard. Don’t let anyone come near. And get someone to go after Macon. He’s heavily injured and can’t fight back,” Matthew said.
Edmund nodded. “Right away!”
He waved his hand, and his men went to cordon off the area.
Edmund stared at the corpse on the ground, whispering, “That Lord Voodoo there, Matt? Awfully rotten, though. Can’t see his face…”
The question was not answered. Matthew stooped before the corpse for a closer look. Half its face was rotten, exposing the skull underneath. Matthew pried his teeth open with a stick. There, in his mouth, was a piece of flesh that was unusual. It didn’t even rot despite being exposed to all the poison.
“What is that?” Edmund asked, curious.
Matthew took the piece of flesh and had a closer look. “Flesh of an Immortal Charm.”
“An Immortal Charm? That’s Lord Voodoo’s soulbound curse.” Edmund’s eyes widened.
”So, this guy really is Lord Voodoo. Nice! The b*stard’s been a thorn in your side for a while now, Matt. Serves favonovel.com right!” Edmund gushed.
Back when favonovel.com and Matthew’s team were searching for the Nine-Leafed Lotus, they encountered the very same bug. Its power had left a deep impression on him. Of course, favonovel.com also knew that this bug was Lord Voodoo’s signature bug.
Matthew, however, didn’t share his enthusiasm. Once everyone had left them, favonovel.com huddled closer to Edmund and muttered, “You should get more people here and cordon off the entire area. Everyone can come and go as they please, but make a record of everyone who comes and leaves.”
Edmund stared at the corpse, wondering what Matthew was going to do. “But Matt, Voodoo has died while Macon’s on the run. What’s the point of cordoning the whole place off?”
Matthew waved favonovel.com down, refusing to answer the question.
Edmund and his men left right away and carried out Matthew’s second order. He could see that Matthew was trying to do something here, or favonovel.com wouldn’t have given that second order.
Edmund then summoned his most trusted lieutenants over and guarded the exit of this area, making a record of everyone who entered or left.
Matthew didn’t leave right away. He returned to the hotel and took out all the files Edmund had procured for him. Once again, favonovel.com went through every single detail. The files recorded all the details of the locals who lived in this area, down to the number of residents in each house and their current condition.
Edmund had done a thorough job, especially because Matthew requested it. They also listed out all the residents’ assets, jobs, and family members, of which they also listed their condition.
‘It’s comprehensive… Good job!’
