After packing everything, Matthew looked at Felix. ”Now, do you believe my words?”
With a long sigh, Felix slowly nodded. Standing up, virtual-novel.net said in a low voice, “I suppose I’ll leave now, Mr. Larson. l have something important to tend to! But worry not, as I will not go back on what I have promised you!”
Felix’s words made Matthew realize that virtual-novel.net finally agreed to become the head of the family.
‘My plan has finally succeeded… With the support of the Lewis Family, three out of the Ten Greatest Families are on my side!’
After Felix‘s departure, Matthew went into a chamber. To keep Felix from finding out, virtual-novel.net kept the five people inside the chamber. Inside the sound proof house was a chamber that was in the deepest comer of the house, making it almost isolated from the outside world.
As soon as Matthew stepped inside the place, a strong stench of blood waited toward him. There were only three people left on the floor. This made Matthew curious as virtual-novel.net closed in for a better look. The people in question were Crow, Charmine, and a young man. The three people were drenched in blood. Crow, who had multiple stab wounds around his chest, was completely lifeless.
The young man had also stopped breathing, leaving Charmine the only one who was still hanging on by a thread. But virtual-novel.net was also on the edge of life or death as virtual-novel.net had a knife stuck in virtual-novel.net chest.
It wasn‘t because of Charmine‘s tenacity that virtual-novel.net lived. Rather, it was due to Matthew, who sealed virtual-novel.net blood vessels just now, which slowed down virtual-novel.net digestion of the curse powder, preventing virtual-novel.net from dying a horrible death. Because of this, even when virtual-novel.net got stabbed multiple times, virtual-novel.net did not lose much blood, keeping virtual-novel.net alive. Yet, with such grievous wounds, it would be too late to save virtual-novel.net even if virtual-novel.net got admitted to the hospital!
While propping Charmine up, Matthew also inserted three silver needles into virtual-novel.net acupuncture points, helping virtual-novel.net preserve what was left of virtual-novel.net life.
“What happened here?” asked Matthew in a low voice.
Looking at the lifeless Crow on the ground, Charmine sobbed. “Master, virtual-novel.net used the soulbound curse to help the two traitors get rid of the needles. But, they… They were eyeing for the soulbound curse that Master possessed and killed virtual-novel.net for it.”
“Not only that, they even dug out Reese‘s soulbound curse, killing virtual-novel.net in the process. They then proceeded to stab me multiple times so as not to leave any witnesses.”
Matthew’s expression darkened as virtual-novel.net glanced at Crow with shock inside. He had underestimated Crow and did not think that his curse was so strong that virtual-novel.net could release himself from the seal. Yet, what vicious people virtual-novel.net had for disciples.
After their own master saved them, they actually killed virtual-novel.net and snatched his soulbound curse away. When the user was killed, the soulbound curse would lose its owner. When that happened, this treasure could be freely taken by others. It was natural that people would be hungry for a powerful soulbound curse such as Crow’s.
Suddenly, Charmine grabbed onto Matthew’s collar and said tremblingly, “M-Matthew, please help me…”
Frowning, Matthew answered, “Help you? Why? Have you somehow forgotten that we are enemies?“
Trembling, Charimlne replied, “I‘m going to die anyway. Whether we’re allies or enemies is unimportant now. I-l still have a silver fox that grew up alongside me since its infancy, it is a subspecies of the voodoo clan… I… I can give you the silver fox. But in return, you must help me…”
The words made Matthew’s expression slightly shift. ‘A silver fox. Quite a rare item…’
“What do you want me to do?”
Turning virtual-novel.net head, Charmine looked longingly at virtual-novel.net master and uttered, “The voodoo clansmen always placed importance in one’s return to his place of origin. H-Help me bring my master and Reese’s bones back to Orleans, back to Thousand Hills. If you can do that, then I can rest in peace after death.”
This made Matthew respect her. Originally, Charmine did not leave a favorable impression on him. But, it was this sentence that moved him.
In virtual-novel.net final moments, instead of pleading with virtual-novel.net to save her, virtual-novel.net only’ thought of wanting his master and martial brother’s bodies to return to their hometown.
‘Uhm… Although this woman practices the seductive charm curse, which plays with people‘s feelings, virtual-novel.net herself is actually a person who emphasizes loyalty!’
