Chapter 1916
It was two in the afternoon. A car with a Granville license plate drove into Enneaton, and out came two
men in sunglasses. They were also equipped with some cameras. At first glance, they looked like
tourists, but these men were actually Matthew and Rat.
Matthew summoned Rat the moment he decided to make the trip to Stonedale. He wasn't sure if Lord
Voodoo had returned, nor did he look into it. If Lord Voodoo found out he was looking for him, that sly
old fox might run away again, and he would be led on a wild goose chase. Rat was the perfect
candidate for the other job he needed to carry out. He used to be a pickpocket, and the guy looked
unassuming, making him the perfect man for a recon mission. Salazar was hanging out around town,
hiding in the shadows. The moment Matthew was able to confirm Lord Voodoo's location, he would
come running.
Rat went around to gather some intelligence. He disguised himself as a tourist and strolled around
town, going through the spot Gregory mentioned for a closer look. Meanwhile, Matthew stayed behind
to train. He just took a Wallbreaker pill and was currently absorbing its powers.
The recent battles had been a lot more dangerous, and Matthew realized that he wasn't powerful Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
enough to face these enemies. He needed to improve, or the next time he had to fight someone like
Levi or Martin, he would be dead.
Salazar could provide great help at the moment, but Gregory's story also told Matthew a grim truth. His
enemy was powerful, and terrifyingly so. Matthew's father was unparalleled, or so the people said, and
yet he perished nonetheless. If I don't power up, I'll die as well.
About two hours later, the sound of footsteps approached Matthew's room. His eyes snapped open,
and the first thing he saw was Rat entering his room.
Rat whispered, "I got something, Matt."
Matthew's eyes went wide. "What did you get?"
"So, I went to the spot, and the drug you gave me twitched."
Matthew's eyes shone. The drug he gave Rat could resonate with cursed bugs. He needed to confirm if
there were cursed bugs around the place, and now he got his answer. We have a bug problem.
Gregory wasn't lying. Lord Voodoo must have a lair there. However, just because the drug reacted was
not indicative of Lord Voodoo's return. All it took for the drug to react was the existence of cursed bugs,
after all. If Lord Voodoo did live in that place for a while, the drug would react as well, even if he was
absent at the moment.
