Matthew snorted. "An infallible plan? Hah! Voodoo, you're not someone who'd be willing to go down with others! It's illogical to think you would've done such a thing!"
Lord Voodoo gritted his teeth and fumed, "How did you know I was hiding in this nursing home?"
"As they say, a sly rabbit has three burrows," Matthew remarked.
"The place your double stayed in was too prominent. It doesn't fit the bill of someone as cunning as you. Although you'd have multiple hideouts, they wouldn't be too far apart as there is still a lot that's out of your control. Thus, I suspected that you must have another hiding place nearby. When I looked into the information, I noticed that one of the families came back two months ago, which was exactly when you started fleeing. Therefore, I deduced that you must have started planning the whole scheme with your double then, and that family was part of your plan. I decided to visit this nursing home to try my luck, and I only brought Edmund with me because I wasn't sure you'd be here, so I didn't want to give anything away!"
Lord Voodoo's expression became even nastier. He never thought that Matthew would be this thorough and meticulous.
"How did you know I'm Lord Voodoo? I didn't expose myself in any way even though you stood beside me for so long! Plus, for the sake of staying hidden, I even threw away all the cursed bugs I usually have with me. I even got rid of the cursed bugs on the others. There's no trace of any cursed bugs here. How did you confirm my identity?" Lord Voodoo asked.
Matthew smirked. "Lord Voodoo, you've forgotten that my strong suit is the art of medicine. According to the information I found, this old man is paralyzed due to his cerebral hemorrhage. Although you slept very naturally, someone with cerebral hemorrhage wouldn't breathe the way you did!"
Lord Voodoo was on the verge of getting an aneurysm. He assumed that he had a foolproof plan and had done everything right.
He made sure nothing would seem suspicious, and he was even determined enough to get rid of all the cursed bugs in the inhabitants at this nursing home to ensure there was no trace of cursed bugs at the location.
Furthermore, he had housed a paralyzed old man in this nursing home two months in advance. He had started preparing his crafty getaway a long time ago.
According to his plan, that double of his should have tricked everyone.
He would've been in a lot of danger if he hadn't been decisive enough and had allowed Matthew to get the word out!
Lord Voodoo began to feel smug about it.
"You're a quick-witted man, Larson, but the smart ones die quicker than the others. No one else tracked me down to this place except for you. Tell me. Do you think it's a case of you being too smart for your own good? Hahaha…"
Lord Voodoo guffawed in delight as if he had everything under control.
Matthew was perfectly calm as he looked at Lord Voodoo and commented softly, "Lord Voodoo, do you think I said all this just to drag things out in the hopes that someone would come and save me? Hah. How can you still be so naive at your age?"
