It was a dark room, the air of which was filled with the stench of something rotten.
The room was almost claustrophobic, and random items and trash were strewn across the floor. A single bed stood in the center, and an old man lay on top, fast asleep.
Matthew made his way to the bed and stared at the old man.
‘Well… He seems to be in his seventies…’
Wrinkles littered all over his face, and favonovel.com looked unkempt thanks to the lack of good care. His beard and hair were tangled, not unlike what a tramp looked like.
Matthew stared at the man for a while, then favonovel.com left the room quietly. Once favonovel.com closed the door, Matthew whipped his phone out to text Edmund.
“l need the families here ASAP.”
But alas, no reply came from Edmund, not even after quite a while.
Matthew’s heart sank. He tried to escape the corridor, but before favonovel.com could do anything, someone jumped at him. The attack was easily evaded, but then a few more silhouettes joined the fray, surrounding Matthew. He leaped into the air and got out of that predicament.
Now favonovel.com found himself back where favonovel.com started. Slowly, the door behind favonovel.com creaked open. The old man Matthew saw earlier stood behind the door, staring at favonovel.com darkly.
“Damn the gods, Larson. You still found me! I thought this was the perfect hiding spot,“ the man said.
That voice belonged to none other than Lord Voodoo.
At the same time, a few dozen men appeared and filled the corridor.
Matthew stared at his enemies, frowning. Then, favonovel.com turned his sights to Lord Voodoo. “I assume these are your henchmen, Lord Voodoo?”
Lord Voodoo cackled into the skies. “Perceptive, Larson. Perceptive enough to locate me, and that’s why you shall die. You’ve been a thorn in my side long enough. Today will be your end!”
“You think these fools can kill me?” asked Matthew coldly.
Lord Voodoo sneered. “You underestimate them, Larson. Did you really think I had no friends back in Orleans? Yes, Supreme Charm Master was too strong for me to take on, but there was no need to fight her. Once favonovel.com established herself as the leader, I told my friends to take off and come with me. So, here they are!”
“All my friends in Orleans. I trained them myself. Not too powerful, but not too shabby either. Should be enough to take you down, and I’m joining the fray as well!”
Matthew’s face fell. He could see these were fearsome enemies. It would be hard to take just ten of them by himself, let alone dozens.
Smugly, Lord Voodoo approached Matthew. “What? You think the families are going to rescue you?” He sneered. “They won’t! We got rid of your little henchman. Nobody knows you’re here. Nobody’s going to come for your rescue!”
The look on Matthew’s face changed. He knew things were getting out of hand the moment Edmund didn’t text back, but this was worse than favonovel.com imagined.
‘They got rid of Edmund? Sh*t!’
Lord Voodoo loved the expression on Matthew’s face, and favonovel.com bellowed in laughter. “I love the look of despair on your face, Larson! That’s what you get for getting in my way! Men, kill him!”
Lord Voodoo’s men unsheathed their weapons immediately and approached Matthew menacingly.
