Chapter 1186 Lord Voodoo’s Plan
Matthew looked at Charmine. “I came to find you because there’s something I’d like to ask you for help.”
Charmine was surprised. “Me? What can I help you with?”
“You know more about Lord Voodoo than me. I want to know what he actually wants to do. And, which of the Ten Great Families
of Eastcliff is still working with him?” Matthew asked softly.
Charmine hesitated. If she answered Matthew’s questions, she would be betraying Orleans.
Matthew glanced at her. “Don’t tell me that you still have your delusions about Lord Voodoo? Your master was killed by those two
students. Not only did Lord Voodoo not help you to get revenge for his death, but he even favored those two. Do you think that
Lord Voodoo will help you get justice?”
Those words made Charmine’s expression slowly change into a cold one. She initially served Lord Voodoo loyally because of
her master. But now she realized that Lord Voodoo never thought of her master as anything. Why should she remain loyal to
Lord Voodoo, then?
She took a deep breath before she spoke. “I really don’t know anything about the ten families. The third family working with Lord
Voodoo is a mystery. Whenever they come here, they always wear a mask. No one knows their identity other than Lord Voodoo
himself.”
Matthew frowned. He hadn’t thought that this mastermind would be such an enigma. “Then, what does Lord Voodoo actually
want to do?” he asked.
Charmine said, “He wants to take the Golden Cocoon Charm for himself and become the king of Orleans.”
Matthew continued to frown. “Take the Golden Cocoon Charm? How is that possible? The Golden Cocoon Charm is the true
King of Charms in Orleans; how could he possibly take it for himself?”
Charmine shook her head. “When the Golden Cocoon Charm is born, it will leave its master’s body. That moment is when its
master is at their weakest. As long as you seize this opportunity and kill the master of the Golden Cocoon Charm, then you will
be able to get your hands on it. Lord Voodoo wants to take advantage of this fact and kill Jinny so he could take the Golden
Cocoon Charm for himself!”
Matthew’s expression turned chilly. Lord Voodoo had thought this plan through. According to his plan, Jinny would be sure to die
tonight!
Matthew took a deep breath and looked at Phoenix. “Elio, I’m afraid that I’ll have to ask for your help!”
Phoenix had an indifferent look on his face. “No worries. You don’t have to say it. Since Lord Voodoo had the guts to involve me
in his plans, I will certainly show him no mercy.”
Matthew let out a sigh of relief. With his current strength, he was no match for Lord Voodoo. With Phoenix’s help though, he
would be able to come out on top.
Matthew then took out a jade bracelet—something he got from Jinny—and handed it to Phoenix. This bracelet was able to
temporarily ward off Orleans’ centipedes. Phoenix wouldn’t have to worry about being affected by them then. Matthew proceeded
to knock out the guards standing watch around the perimeter and freed Charmine. The three of them then headed to the loft in
front of the building where Charmine had been held under the cover of the night.
It was then that Matthew discovered that Dr. Burton and his wife had been captured as well. They were both tied up tightly, fear
apparent on their faces. Jinny was here too, but she looked awful. Her skin was red, and she kept trembling. It seemed that she
couldn’t even stand properly anymore.
“Look, the Golden Cocoon Charm is about to be born. Her body’s getting weaker,” Charmine said. “When it’s born, she will lose
all her strength. She won’t be able to even fight off the centipedes’ venom then!”
Matthew’s expression turned cold. Jinny was in a precarious situation. There were also over twenty people by her side, and they
were all part of the 72 voodoo clans. Sanyul and Sanhol were among this entourage. At this moment, they all looked at Lord
Voodoo in fury.
“Lord Voodoo, release these people at once,” Sanyul stated loudly. “This is Orleans business. Disallowing outsiders has been the
rule for the past thousands of years!”
