Chapter 1924
Most of the houses were owned by locals and only three were sold to outsiders. Matthew already gleaned that
information earlier. At first, Matthew skipped two of the three houses, as his sources told him the owners spent
more tworking in another city anyway. His attention was all given to the last house, where that battle took
place. Macon and a warrior ambushed Lord Voodoo, but they failed. Lord Voodoo almost dragged Macon down to
hell with him.
But this time, Matthew went through all the residents’ details once more. Eventually, his attention fell on the
three houses that were sold to outsiders. Everyone else was a local and there was nothing suspicious about their
background. But these three... They're outsiders. | need to look into these.
There were only two houses left to check. The one where the battle took place was not on the list. The resident
was dead, after all. So, Matthew perused the details of the remaining houses, but he found nothing. After some
thought, he called Edmund, telling him to get the details of the residents of the remaining two houses.

Matthew, however. His job was to carry out Matthew's orders, and that was what he did. Barely an hour had gone
by when Edmund's men returned with news, and Matthew got his hands on the file he wanted. There was
everything on it, from their jobs to their latest whereabouts. Edmund stood beside Matthew as he went through
the new files. Curious, he asked, "Is anything wrong, Matt?"
Matthew stayed silent for a moment before pointing at one of the files. "So, the owner cback two months
ago?"
Edmund nodded. "Yes. We asked their neighbors too. The owner's a woman. Her father's a cripple so she took
him in, but she's a busy lady. She doesn't have tfor her father, so he was sent to a nursing home. They never
did cback after their only return two months ago."
Matthew nodded slowly, and he mused. "Taketo the nursing home."
Edmund nodded. They got in a car and Edmund drove them all the way to that nursing home. "So, Matt, you
suspect there's something wrong with the nursing home? Wantto cordon the place off too?" asked Edmund
as he drove.
Matthew shook his head. "No. | just have squestions that | need answered. It's a recon mission, so to speak,
so no cordoning off anything."
"Questions?" Curious, Edmund asked, "What kind of questions?"
Matthew leaned against his seat. "Questions like... Voodoo wasn't the one who died back there," he whispered.
Startled, Edmund's hands shook, and his car almost derailed from the path. He quickly held down the steering
wheel and steered the car back onto the path, yet his shock hadn't diminished as he gawked at Matthew. "I-Is
that a joke, Matt? If that wasn't Voodoo, then who was he? I thought the Immortal Charm was Voodoo's signature
skill, and that battle was too big to not be Voodoo's work."
Matthew shook his head. "I kept it a secret in case we had a spy among us, but I'm certain that was not Voodoo."
Edmund's question was still not answered. "What makes you so sure about that, Matt?" he asked.
But Matthew did not answer. By now, they had arrived at the nursing home.
