Before the fighters could land any attacks, Matthew bellowed, “Lord Voodoo, do you want to know how I saw through your plan?”
Curiosity gnawed at Lord Voodoo’s heart. He gazed at Matthew before waving his men down.
“Trying to buy some time? Sure, I have a few minutes to spare.”
He gloated, “So, tell me, how did you see through my plan? It’s been more than a decade in the making. I have a lot of similar hideouts all over the nation just in case I needed to lay low. I knew something like this would happen, so I exposed that hideout to Gregory and Macon!”
“I knew they’d lead my enemies to that hideout. Then, fake Lord Voodoo would step in and get himself killed. Everyone would be fooled and I would get away soot-free. Or at least, that was the plan. It was supposed to be infallible, so how did you see through it?”
“Your fake Lord Voodoo gave me all the clues I needed.” Matthew replied.
A frown creased Lord Voodoo’s forehead. “Impossible. I hand-picked that man myself. He looked just like me. I’ve trained favonovel.com for many years so favonovel.com could play the perfect stand-in. He was my get-out of jail-free card. I even gave favonovel.com half my soulbound, so everyone would think favonovel.com was me!”
“What’s more, I made sure the poison destroyed his face. You couldn’t have known favonovel.com wasn’t me. You didn’t even see his face! You couldn’t have!”
Matthew looked around him, and favonovel.com sneered. “Did you really think your plan was perfect? You missed something important, Lord Voodoo. Think long and hard about what it was that you missed.”
Another frown furrowed Lord Voodoo’s forehead.
After some thought, favonovel.com said, “What did I miss? I’ve trained my double for nearly twenty years. His only job was to get himself killed when the time was right. I’ve practiced that plenty of times since I knew this day would come!”
“If everyone thought I was killed, nobody would come after me, and I could have lived on! Sure, another identity and all, but that was a perfect plan. infallible, and yet you claim that I missed something?”
Matthew sneered. “You said it yourself. Spent many years training the bait, didn’t you?”
Lord Voodoo nodded. “Yeah. What’s with that? I’ve set the plan in motion seventeen long years ago. Enough time to perfect my great escape. That should’ve been the infallible trick.”
Once more, Matthew sneered. “Not if time is involved.”
“What do you mean?” Lord Voodoo froze for a moment.
“You looked a lot younger than you are now back when you left Orleans, you stupid!”
Lord Voodoo mused over that statement, and his face fell. He got what Mthe other party meant.
Matthew sneered. “I see you’ve gotten it as well. Immortal Charm is your soulbound, and everyone knows that. You were in your prime during your departure from Orleans, so you’ve been making sure the fake Voodoo would look and act like you in your prime…”
“However, you missed one thing. You’ve grown old and wrinkly, and yet the fake Voodoo looked like a man who was in his prime. That disparity between you two told me everything I needed to know.”
Matthew noticed that the moment favonovel.com saw the fake Voodoo’s dismembered hand. It was at that moment when favonovel.com knew they had gotten the wrong Voodoo.
One thing led to another, and now favonovel.com was here, trapped.
Hatred and fury crept onto Lord Voodoo’s face, and favonovel.com glared at Matthew.
“Smart, Larson. Too smart.” He gnashed his teeth. “I can’t believe you saw through my infallible plan. Seems like I’ve underestimated you!”
