Chapter 1923


    The dismembered arm was nearly unrecognizable as it was rotten and bloodied. Matthew stared at it


    for a while, but then he frowned. Then, another loud bang echoed through the air. Matthew 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 Voodooy on the ground. Every inch of his skin was infected with the rot,


    and a knife was buried in his chest. Seems dead. Matthew looked at the dead body, then he turned his


    attention to the escaping Macon, but he didn''t give chase.


    Instead, he stood within the courtyard. After some time, Edmund came, and along with him was a big


    group of henchmen.


    "Keep this area under lockdown, especially this courtyard. Don''t let anyonee 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 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 Voodoo''s soulbound curse." Edmund''s eyes widened. "So, this guy really


    is Voodoo. Nice. The b*stard''s been a thorn in your side for a while now, Matt. Serves him right!"


    Edmund gushed.


    Back when he 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, he also knew that this bug was


    Lord Voodoo''s signature bug.


    Matthew, however, didn''t share his enthusiasm. Once everyone had left them, he huddled closer to


    Edmund and muttered, "You should get more people here and cordon off the entire area. Everyone can

    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 ce off?"


    Matthew didn''t leave right away. He returned to the hotel and took out all the files Edmund had


    procured for him. Once again, he 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
