Chapter 1899

Melvin followed them inside, and he gasped. "What? Why did he steal the body? Are you sure it wasn't eaten by animals?"

Matthew shook his head. "Yes. I'm sure he stole it."

Melvin asked, "And how do you know?"

Matthew opened his hand, revealing a little patch of white powder on his fingertip. It was the same powder he saw on the ground.

"Hey, that's the bug's larvae, but this can only prove they killed Falconn and can't prove that Lord Voodoo stole his body," Salazar said.

Matthew shook his head. "The larvae are a clue. It's the offspring of something called Vitality Devouring Bug. It can devour its victim's vitality and take their power. It's a vile bug even among Orleanians."

Melvin asked, "So, Lord Voodoo took Falconn's power before he killed him? Well, that's redundant."
