Matthew clenched his fists in response. In fact, he had observed his surroundings earlier and figured out his escape route, but before he could execute his plan, he felt someone's palm tightly clamped onto his shoulder.
It turned out that Freya was the one who clamped Matthew's scapula with her strong fingers and rendered half of his body numb as the man could no longer fight back.
Soon, Gregory quickly charged at Matthew and poked his body with a few silver needles. Unable to resist and fight back, Matthew could only watch those needles piercing through different pressure points on his skin, knowing Gregory was trying to incapacitate him by weakening his mobility temporarily.
Not long after that, Matthew was covered with needles on all acupuncture points all over his body, feeling as if all of his energy had been drained from his body.
"Alright, Miss Zina, you may let go of him now." Gregory was thrilled as Freya let go of her hand, whereupon Matthew collapsed onto the ground without even being able to flick his finger.
"He is yours now, gentlemen." Freya helped Raven up and walked away as soon as she finished her words.
"Thank you, Miss Zina!" Gregory and Lord Voodoo were exhilarated, bowing down to the lady while expressing their gratitude to her. While Freya didn't even bother to look at them, Gregory bent over and crouched beside Matthew with a nonchalant smile. "I bet you didn't see this coming at all, did you, Matthew?"
"You're just a lapdog that only barks out loud while serving its master loyally. You're nothing more than a clown." Matthew clenched his jaw and said, "Fight me one-on-one, and we'll see if your big mouth still boasts."
"Fight one-on-one?" Gregory looked up and laughed maniacally. "You're now lying down on the floor underneath my foot, and you want to fight me one-on-one? Are you out of your mind or something?"
"I'm going to be a dead man anyway now that you have me at your mercy." Matthew appeared to be unflinching. "Do you think I'm still scared of death?"
"Are you sure you're not scared?" Lord Voodoo walked closer as he spoke coldly. "You're pretty familiar with Orleans poisonous curse. Do you really think I have no idea how to make you talk?" The evil wizard then took what seemed like a hairy worm from his pocket and brought it closer to Matthew with a sinister smile on his face.
Matthew's face changed when he saw that. After all, he knew that the worm Lord Voodoo was holding was a malicious species from Orlean. It was known as a bone-eating worm, which was usually used in intense interrogations. Therefore, if anyone ever ended up as a victim of this worm, he or she would suffer from a fate worse than death.
While Matthew wouldn't be scared of a worm like that under normal circumstances, he believed he would be in so much pain if he was cursed with that worm. After all, he couldn’t even move right now.
