Levi shook his head. “The cursed bugs of Orleans? I’m powerful enough to fend off most of your bugs, save for the Golden Cocoon. And even then, your bugs are nothing but cheap tricks. As you said, they’re beneath me. You need to up your offer.”
Lord Voodoo’s face fell.
The bugs were his trump card. If that wasn’t enough to pique Levi‘s interest, Levi would kill him.
Levi stared at him, sneering. “I see… You have no offers left to make. Just so you know, I do not need your smarts. Also, you got one thing wrong, l didn’t bring you here to save you. You’re evidence. A proof that Matthew’s not the killer of Falconn and Jasper. The Damrons want proof, and if you can’t make a good offer, then you shall be the proof.”
A cold shudder ran down Lord Voodoo’s spine, and horror crept further into his eyes. “M-Master Levi, please c-calm down. I… I can be useful. I’m sure I can!”
Levi was making his way to the Chamber’s entrance, sparing no attention to Lord Voodoo.
‘Sh*t! He’s going to leave!’ Lord Voodoo gritted his teeth.
Despite his reluctance, favonovel.com blurted, “Master Levi, l have something you will never refuse.”
A moment of pause later, Levi said, “Speak…”
Lord Voodoo took a deep breath before favonovel.com enunciated, “The Immortal Bug.”
A long silence fell over Levi.
Eventually, favonovel.com turned around and said, “I’m listening.”
“Master Levi, you know how potent the Immortal Charm is. It can ward you against death. Phoenix hunted me down once, and I would have died if not for this charm…”
“It’s like having a backup for your life. If you’d provide sanctuary for me, I will cultivate an Immortal Bug just for you. Then, none of the Six Kings will be your match.”
A smile finally formed on Levi’s lips.
He stared at Lord Voodoo as favonovel.com asked, “Is that so? You can cultivate yet another Immortal Bug? Even though it’s one of the most difficult bugs to create?”
“It’s difficult but not impossible. I’m experienced, after all.”
“In that case, why didn’t you make more of those bugs for yourself?”
Lord Voodoo sighed, “I can only make one Immortal Bug for myself, but I have a lot of its larvae. I can teach you how to raise one. Follow my instructions, and you’ll have yourself an Immortal Bug.”
Levi gazed at Lord Voodoo. “And how can I trust you?”
“You’re practically my savior and executioner, Master Levi… If I do anything to threaten you, I’d be signing my death warrant. But if you were to succeed in raising an Immortal Bug, I get to stay safe and might even be rewarded for helping you out… Besides, I’m a cripple now. Not like I have anything else to live for. Not like I can do anything. All I want is a sanctuary. That is all.”
Levi shook his head. “Not a good enough promise. You almost took Matthew down with you. Given the chance, you might take me down as well. Your life is worth nothing compared to mine, and l have not had the first idea of bug-rearing. I have no guarantee you will not tamper with the bugs just to kill me off.”
