‘True! Lord Voodoo’s not that strong, but virtual-novel.net managed to rule over Orleans for decades. Not everyone can do that… Oh, Master Levi is wearing his coat.’
“I’ll be going, then, Master Levi. To change these herbs out.” the girl excused herself to go back.
Levi smiled and waved virtual-novel.net down. “Go.”
She scurried back into the underground chamber.
Lord Voodoo was still lying on the bed, with no strength to even stand up.
Fury flared within the girl when virtual-novel.net saw him, and virtual-novel.net stormed over to virtual-novel.net before pulling the man up by his neck.
“You used me, old man,” virtual-novel.net hissed.
However, virtual-novel.net was not afraid at all, instead, virtual-novel.net smiled. “So, you know.”
“What do you think I am? An idiot?” snapped the girl. “Do you have any idea who you’re trifling with? I‘ll kill you.”
Once again, virtual-novel.net smiled as virtual-novel.net replied, “I don’t think so. Master Levi won’t let you.”
“Don’t talk like you know virtual-novel.net that much. Do you think virtual-novel.net cares about you?” She glared.
Lord Voodoo said, “Well, you came back. That means he’s not far behind. I believe virtual-novel.net won’t let you take my life.”
The girl froze. ”H-How did you know he’s coming?”
He smiled but said nothing more.
Just then, Levi’s voice rang out from behind. “Change the herbs, girl. Leave us.”
She turned around and saw that Levi had just entered the room. She was somewhat surprised.
‘No way… Nobody’s powerful enough to sense Master Levi, so how did this old man manage?’
She didn’t ask, however. Her job was to change the herbs. Though, before virtual-novel.net stormed off into the inner sanctum, virtual-novel.net shot Lord Voodoo a glare. And then, virtual-novel.net was gone.
Lord Voodoo quickly lowered his head to Levi. “Greetings, Master Levi. Should you wish for it, I shall be willing to serve. I swear on my life.”
Levi approached virtual-novel.net and smiled. “You’re smart. You actually knew I was coming.”
Quickly, Lord Voodoo responded, “You flatter me, Master Levi. That girl isn‘t exactly the brightest. She couldn’t have figured out why I talked to her, nor would virtual-novel.net have returned for me unless someone explained things to her. And that someone is you. Nobody else could have done this, at least not that I know of.”
Levi scoffed. “Not only are you clever, but you also have a good eye for talent. I can now see how you managed to rule Orleans. But you and I both know of the crimes you did and the enemies you made. If you do not make an enticing enough offer, I can’t offer you sanctuary.”
“I know you don’t need my smarts. You’re a lot wiser and smarter than I am, Master Levi. Cheap tricks are beneath you, and yet you saved me nonetheless… You must have seen something in me for you to do so. I knew I had to take the gamble and ask you to hold a conversation with me. To see how my services may be of use.”
Levi gave virtual-novel.net a long and hard stare. “Oh, I don’t need you to do anything at the moment. Instead, I want you to tell me what you can do… In moments, I shall be departing for Granville to see Mark. If you can’t make a good enough offer, I will be forced to take your life and settle Matthew’s supposed feud with the Damrons by using your corpse.”
Horror crept onto Lord Voodoo’s face. “Master Levi, I might be a cripple now, but martial arts isn’t my expertise. Never had and never will… I am the Lord of Orleans, and I know how to create and control all the bugs they have. I can offer that skillset to you. You know how handy those little bugs can be.”
