Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 2172 Discovering Lord Voodoo's Tracks

While looking at the retreating Emsgate forces, Phoenix slowly scrunched his eyebrows. Since Matthew was behind him, he naturally noticed Phoenix's change. "Phoenix, what's the matter?" There was no reply. Instead, he pulled Matthew and quickly returned to the cruise ship.

Back inside the room, Phoenix furrowed his eyebrows. "I just sensed Lord Voodoo's presence."

When he said that, Matthew was instantly startled. Before coming here, Rat had leaked the news that Lord Voodoo was still alive to him, but Matthew did not expect that guy to slip onboard as well. Previously, he and Lord Voodoo could be said to have fought each other in a life-for-a-life battle, which ended with both of them losing all their cultivation base.

Could Lord Voodoo also have an ancient divine weapon and manage to use its sword energy to restore his hara?

Following that thought, Matthew immediately dismissed that outrageous idea. Yet, when he remembered Lord Voodoo's stealthy charms, he could not help but become more cautious. "Can you pinpoint Lord Voodoo's exact location?"

After all, Lord Voodoo's charms and curses were ever-changing, and the Immortal Charm was the best proof of that. He had forced Lord Voodoo into dire situations several times, but the latter used the Immortal Charm to escape.

If they could seize this chance to replace Lord Voodoo, it would be the best opportunity they had to kill him. The enemy was in the shadows while they were in the light, so it would be best if they could eliminate the enemy for good.

However, Phoenix shook his head resignedly at Matthew's question. "Although I've sensed his presence, it was only briefly."

At that, Matthew frowned. He was confused as to why Lord Voodoo would appear here. It's reasonable to assume that it'd be difficult for him to get on board with so many forces gathered here. Wait! Thinking of that, he suddenly thought of something. Not if he has someone covering for him. Is it the Damron Family? But that's impossible. They want nothing less but to eliminate Lord Voodoo. As for the King of Rivenia and Emsgate forces, they are even less likely to do that. They have no connections with Lord Voodoo, so why would they help him? If all of them aren't the culprits, then there's only one left-Master Levi.

At that point, Matthew was even more confident that Levi had taken Lord Voodoo away that day. But why would Master Levi cover for Lord Voodoo? Master Levi couldn't let Lord Voodoo kill him because he was still of use to him. Moreover, without his cultivation base, there was no telling if Lord Voodoo could kill him.

With a few taps on the table, he gave up after failing to figure anything out.

At that moment, Phoenix asked, "I heard you suffered an internal injury."

When mentioning that matter, Matthew could only reply with a bitter smile. Up until then, he still could not figure out what grudge he had with that woman who suddenly yelled at him. "Yes. I was attacked by a few of those young warriors from Emsgate. They're quite strong, but I still can't figure out their grudge against me."

Now that the topic had been changed, the atmosphere in the room was no longer as heavy.

When Phoenix noticed Matthew's puzzled expression, he explained, "The Baeddans framed you for killing Zayn and the Emsgate's national doctor, Baltazar Dupont. In addition, they created rumors that the Martial League has been secretly covering the fact that you killed those people. That's why they hate you."

After that explanation, Matthew instantly understood many things. No wonder the Martial League's investigators had shown up at his door at Renew Pharmaceuticals and asked him where he was the night before, followed by testing and taking pictures of the Thunder Sword.

That must be related to Baltazar's death.

Another possibility might be that someone slandered Matthew or pretended to be him and killed Baltazar. Lola and Hildegard had previously reminded him that his fatal disaster was nearing, so it might have something to do with this and even have begun taking effect.

Those young warriors from Emsgate were the best proof of that.
