Chapter 891 You Cannot Protect Her
Matthew waved him down. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
Sanchez’s face contorted with rage, and he growled, “You’re lying. There’s no way a snake centipede can win against a toad, unless she reared it. Nobody in Orleans can rear a snake centipede as powerful as this one. Nobody but her. You must have seen her. She’s helping you, isn’t she?”
He must be talking about Jinny, Matthew thought. However, he played dumb. “Sorry, but I have no idea what you’re talking about. Now that you’ve lost, it’s time for your punishment.”
Matthew was about to prick Sanchez with his needles, but he noticed black blood flowing from Sanchez’s nose. His face fell and he quickly went up to Sanchez, but Sanchez’s face was already black from the poisoning.
Sanchez broke into a hideous smile. “I don’t have long now, not after my toad died. You’ll never get me alive, much less interrogate me. You’ll never know who’s searching for her. What’s more, I’ve already sent this message to Orleans. They’ll be coming for you soon. You can’t protect her forever…” Sanchez’s face contorted with rage, but his voice trailed off.
Matthew frowned. He knew Sanchez had sent a message using his clan’s secret arts and killed himself using a curse. Those guys in Orleans will find out about Jinny soon. And they’ll come for me.
Soon, Sanchez dropped dead, his whole body black from the poison. On the contrary, all the Lachs turned pale with fear. They had hired Sanchez hoping he could help them out, but now that he was dead, they knew their family would be next.
Leroy quietly went up to Wilson. “Wilson, you should make a run for it. I-I’ll hold him off.”
With a wave of his hand, Wilson said, “We can’t escape now.”
Leroy panicked. “But we can’t just let him do whatever he wants, Wilson. Why don’t I gather everyone and fight him together?”
Wilson shook his head. “You guys leave us for now. I’ll handle this myself. I started this after all.”
“Wilson—”
Wilson snapped, “Out! Out if you want me to live!”
Leroy struggled to make a decision, but eventually, he gritted his teeth and retreated with the other Lachs. After his family was gone, Wilson started easing up, and he even smiled. Then he sat down and had some tea. “It seems I’ve underestimated you, Mr. Larson. I picked the wrong enemy to trifle with.”
Matthew looked up at him coldly. “I want to know everything about him,” he demanded.
Wilson shrugged. “I’m sorry, but I don’t know much about this guy. He comes from Orleans, and he’s a voodoo master. Oh, and he’s looking for a girl. That’s all I know. We weren’t friends, but we had a deal. I agreed to help him with his search, while he agreed to help me become the family head. Honestly, we wouldn’t have been enemies, but I had to do something after you got into our business in the villa area.”
Matthew frowned. “Who is that girl he wanted you to find?”
“I’m not sure, but judging from what he told me, the girl is crucial to the voodoo clans in Orleans. They have mobilized a lot of people for this search. Oh, and he told me he wanted her dead or alive.”
