Chapter 1924

Most of the houses were owned by locals and only three were sold to outsiders. Matthew already gleaned that information earlier. At first, Matthew skipped two of the three houses, as his sources told him the owners spent more time working in another city anyway. His attention was all given to the last house, where that battle took place. Macon and a warrior ambushed Lord Voodoo, but they failed. Lord Voodoo almost dragged Macon down to hell with him.

But this time, Matthew went through all the residents' details once more. Eventually, his attention fell on the three houses that were sold to outsiders. Everyone else was a local and there was nothing suspicious about their background. But these three... They're outsiders. I need to look into these.

There were only two houses left to check. The one where the battle took place was not on the list. The resident was dead, after all. So, Matthew perused the details of the remaining houses, but he found nothing. After some thought, he called Edmund, telling him to get the details of the residents of the remaining two houses.

That confused Edmund. Isn't Lord Voodoo dead? Why is Matt still obsessing over this? He didn't question Matthew, however. His job was to carry out Matthew's orders, and that was what he did. Barely an hour had gone by when Edmund's men returned with news, and Matthew got his hands on the file he wanted. There was everything on it, from their jobs to their latest whereabouts. Edmund stood beside Matthew as he went through the new files. Curious, he asked, "Is anything wrong, Matt?"
