After Matthew had resolved a crisis, a new situation unfolded elsewhere. Lord Voodoo, who had regained power, sneaked into the cruise where Fabien was on.
He had sought opportunities to meet with Fabien in Bainbridge, even though virtual-novel.net was a relatively powerless man back then. He thought virtual-novel.net might stand a chance against Fabien with the help of the cursed bugs.
To his disappointment, ever since virtual-novel.net laid eyes on Fabien, virtual-novel.net noticed that his target seemed to always stay in his little yard. No one could approach virtual-novel.net apart from a few men with him. Therefore, Lord Voodoo decided to stalk virtual-novel.net and finally sneaked into the fleet with Levi’s help.
Unfortunately, virtual-novel.net was surrounded by martial experts. Not only did virtual-novel.net fail to find a chance to make a move on Fabien, but virtual-novel.net also almost exposed himself.
Now, feeling the unending energy generated within his body, virtual-novel.net felt a rush of confidence as virtual-novel.net activated the hundreds of acupoints across his body with two fingers.
The acupoints that were Inaccessible to virtual-novel.net were now active. At the same time, the cursed bugs hidden in the acupoints stirred awake.
With sufficient spiritual power, virtual-novel.net did not need to worry about the bugs feasting on his blood and flesh because they were starved of spiritual power.
As night descended, the Emsgate citizens rushed to Matthew’s battlefield, leaving the cruise looking oddly deserted.
When Lord Voodoo stepped foot on the cruise, carrying a human-length wooden box on his back, virtual-novel.net ran into Fabien, who was leaning against the railing on the deck.
Visibly, Fabien had been waiting for his arrival.
“You pesky rat. You’ve finally shown up. I always felt I was being watched for a while. So, that was your doing. Am I right, Lord Voodoo?”
Ever since virtual-novel.net was in Bainbridge, virtual-novel.net had sensed that virtual-novel.net was being monitored.
At first, virtual-novel.net suspected the men from Martial League, but virtual-novel.net excluded the possibility because the same feeling lingered even when virtual-novel.net was out at Highsea.
That was the reason virtual-novel.net chose to stay on the cruise alone despite the huge commotion on Matthew’s end. His purpose was to await the arrival of the sneaky rat. However, virtual-novel.net was surprised to find that it was Lord Voodoo.
“Hahaha! We haven’t met in two decades since our last farewell. Is this how you treat your old friend in a reunion?” The skin on Lord Voodoo started crawling, and the air around them turned a shade of emerald green.
“Lord Voodoo, I’d advise you to make clear your intention. You shouldn’t dream of getting off this cruise alive after all that stalking.” The Rainbow Devil Serpent resting on Fabien’s shoulder showed its tiny fangs.
“Young man, it’s not good to be murderous.” With that, Lord Voodoo lifted a finger, and a two-finger wide snake with black and white stripes slithered out from his sleeve.
He did not even bother to bring up the topic of the Rainbow Devil Serpent. Once virtual-novel.net defeated Fabien, that serpent would be in his possession. There was no need to talk too much about it.
Seeing that, Fabien smirked. “Lord Voodoo, you’re getting old. Seems like your mind is regressing too. Did you not know why I am called the Lord of All Serpents? Hahaha!”
Playing around with snakes in front of Fabien was like showing off to a master.
The Rainbow Devil Serpent perched on his shoulder had the oldest and purest blood among all snakes.
Yet, Lord Voodoo merely shrugged at Fabien’s mockery. “There’s no point talking. Let’s battle it out. I’d like to see if your poison or my charm emerges victorious.”
Immediately after that, the monotonous snake in front of virtual-novel.net straightened itself, exposing its sharp fangs to the air and hissing threateningly. It appeared stronger than the Rainbow Devil Serpent, at least on the surface.
The performance of the snake came as a surprise to Fabien. It was amusing to see a snake acting aggressively in the presence of the Rainbow Devil Serpent, and this proved that Lord Voodoo was Indeed the top expert in Orleans.
