Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 1948

Lord Voodoo sneered in contempt.

"Was that a sneer, you old git? Are you laughing at Master Levi? You know I can kill you for that, right? And I'll make sure your death is as gruesome as it can be," the girl hissed.

He chortled upon hearing her threat. "I am not scared of anything. Not when I'm looking like this. Death is just a release for me. Thanks for the kill, if you're going to kill me, that is. But here's a reminder in return. Master Levi told you to take me here, and that can only mean one thing he wants me alive. If you were to kill me before I met him, he might rain down his fury on you."

The woman was irritated, but she couldn't argue with Lord Voodoo. Levi had indeed had other plans for him. His comments infuriated her, and yet she could do nothing to him. Thus, she took a deep breath before speaking through her gritted teeth, "I might not be able to kill you, old man. But there are a lot of things worse than death, and I've made a lot of mental notes about that. I can have you sample a taste of hell on earth if you want."

His face fell after he heard her words, and he shrugged. "Calm down, girl. You guys saved me, so I don't plan to antagonize you guys. Alright, let's assume Master Levi does try to help the people. Then, why is he helping Matthew now?"

Her anger flaring, the girl retorted, "This is not an assumption. He is trying to help the people. And that's my question, not yours."

Lord Voodoo chortled again. "Alright, I'll spell it out for you. He wants to keep the Restoration Pills on his turf, but it's currently in Matthew's possession. However, Master Levi is wary of him since he is Billy's heir, and the people are saying that Matthew's going to be the next King of the South if given enough time."

The girl spat. "Him? He's not worthy."

"Not your call to make, sadly. Billy chose him for a reason. He must have something no one else knows, not even Master Levi. However, Master Levi knew Billy well, and he knew the heir Billy picked would someday become a threat to him."

The girl's eyes went wide. "You think that Larson guy could pose a threat to Master Levi?"

Lord Voodoo smirked. "The greatest families in Stonedale and Eastshire have submitted to him. There's a very good reason for that."

The girl pouted in anger. "That's just pure dumb luck!"

"Be it as it may, the fact remains that Master Levi thinks of him as a threat. He made that trip to Eastcliff to give Matthew a chance to choose. It would have been great if he had chosen to be Master Levi's underling. But he refused, and that meant something. It means he has ambition-the ambition to rule. That alone won't be a threat, but then Matthew is no weakling either. So, putting those together, you have a powerful man with the ambition to rule going around like a loose cannon. That's reason enough for Master Levi to be wary of him."

A frown creased the girl's forehead. She had gotten the gist of the matter at long last.

The look of realization on her face did not escape Lord Voodoo, and he sneered. "Someone finally gets it, huh? Though, you should be clear about the whole matter from the start. Master Levi has never changed his stance on Matthew. He must be protected but also kept at arm's length. The Damrons were the perfect scapegoat to trip Matthew up. That's why he ignored the matter but still asked you guys to keep Matthew safe. He was using the Damrons to slowly destroy all of Matthew's allies, and for one reason—to keep Matthew's threat level at a minimum, if not eradicate it entirely."
