Chapter 1900

Melvin and his men scoured the mountains for more than two hours, but finally, they found Falconn's body.

Matthew met up with them the moment he got the news. When he saw the state the body was in, his face fell.

A sigh escaped Melvin's lips. "Goddammit. I wouldn't have recognized him if not for the clothes. He's literally skin and bones. No flesh, no blood, and no innards at all. He's a celebrated guy, and this is what he gets? Bro, can that bug actually do this? Eat up its victim's flesh and blood?"
