The Dangerous Lord Voodoo
Lord Voodoo gave a chilly laugh. “Since this is an Orleans matter that shouldn’t involve outsiders, then
why are you huddling inside Lakeside Garden? If you’re going to follow Orleans’ rules, then come out
here!”
“Lord Voodoo, let’s not talk about such meaningless things!” Sanyul stated in fury. “We’re here. You can
let your captives go now, right?”
Lord Voodoo guffawed. “What right do you have to speak to me with such impudence, Sanyul? Scram
and get Jinny to see me, or I’ll be killing these two wastes of space!”
Matthew’s expression shifted as he watched this from where he was hiding. Just as he was about to
blow his cover, Phoenix reached out and stopped him. Phoenix’s goals were clear—he had to use this
opportunity to figure out who was cooperating with Lord Voodoo. That was the only way he would have
a chance to save the crown prince. If Matthew moved before he was supposed to, it would only make
Lord Voodoo discover their scheme. Saving the crown prince would become an endeavor then!
Jinny finally emerged from the crowd of the 72 Clans. Fear and anxiety was clear on her face. She might
be carrying the Golden Cocoon Charm, but she was still a little girl in the end. Despite her age, she still
held her head high. “Lord… Lord Voodoo, I am here. You… will release them now, right?”
Lord Voodoo sized Jinny up. “Such an amazing thing, this Golden Cocoon Charm is,” he exclaimed.
“Who would have thought that it would transform a girl with festering sores all over her body into this! If
your father were still alive, he would certainly regret his decision for kicking you out of Orleans!”
The reason Jinny had been chased out of Orleans was because her body was covered in sores when
she was born. Her father thought her a harbinger of disaster, so he planned to kill her. But Jinny’s mother
wanted to protect her, so she took Jinny and left Orleans. Otherwise, Jinny would have long since died.
Jinny gritted her teeth. “I’m here now. Keep your word and let them go!” she said loudly.
Lord Voodoo laughed. “You want me to release them? Fine. But you’ll have to come over here first!”
The 72 voodoo clans’ members’ expressions shifted. They all knew what Lord Voodoo was planning to
do.
“Jinny, don’t listen to him,” Sanhol said hastily. “Lord Voodoo is a sly man who reneges on his promises.
If you go to him, he will kill you at any moment!”
Lord Voodoo was currently moving his hand toward Dr. Burton and his wife nonchalantly. From the looks
of things, he would immediately kill them both if Jinny refused.
Jinny’s face was eerily pale. In the end, she continued to grit her teeth and slowly approached Lord
Voodoo. Right now, she wasn’t just fearful; her body was in agony because of the impending birth of the
Golden Cocoon Charm. This physical weakness was something she had to endure due to the Golden
Cocoon Charm’s coming!
At last, Jinny reached Lord Voodoo’s side. He looked at her, joy rising unbidden to his face.
“You’re going to let them go now, right?” Jinny asked.
Lord Voodoo gave a laugh. All of a sudden, he smacked both Dr. Burton and his wife. They both fell to
the ground, and their skin began to blacken at a visible rate. This was a clear sign that they were being
affected by worms.
Jinny gave a shout of surprise and immediately lunged toward them. She quickly pressed her hands to
their skin. Dr. Burton and Stacy’s skin gradually began to return to their original color.
Sanyul panicked. “Jinny, don’t absorb their poison. The Golden Cocoon Charm is about to be born soon.
The moment it leaves your body, you’ll lose all its protection. When the time comes, you’ll die from the
poison eating you from the inside! Lord Voodoo is trying to kill you on purpose!”
Matthew’s expression quickly shifted. Lord Voodoo was far too sinister.
