Chapter 1883

Macon, Gregory, and Lord Voodoo only regained their courage to move when Matthew and the others had left.

Gregory looked utterly despaired. "How could this be? Why did things turn out like that? Where did that man, who was with Matthew, come from? How could he be so strong? Two of the Damrons' strongest fighters came, but they were defeated just like that. W-Who else can kill Matthew now? Aurelius even gave him a written guarantee! The Damrons won't be trying to take their revenge on him now. Does that mean the Damrons and Matthew will be turning their attention to us? Where can we go now?"

Macon was ashen-faced. He clenched his jaw and said nothing.

On the other hand, Lord Voodoo was crouching on the ground and sniffing all around him as if he was looking for something.

Gregory continued lamenting for a while, and after noticing Lord Voodoo's silence, he asked, "Hey, Lord Voodoo. What are you doing? Come on. Tell us what you think we should do now. Why don't we head to Orleans and hide inside Thousand Hills?"

Lord Voodoo glared at Gregory. "Are you crazy? The Charm Master has returned to Orleans. It's a lot more dangerous there than it is here."
