Chapter 1046 Vicious Disciples
After packing everything, Matthew looked at Felix. "Now, do you believe my words?"
With a long sigh, Felix slowly nodded. Standing up, he said in a low voice, "I suppose I'll leave now, Mr. Larson. |
have something important to tend to! But worry not, as I will not go back on what | have promised you!"
Felix's words made Matthew realize that he finally agreed to becthe head of the family.
After Felix's departure, Matthew went into a chamber. To keep Felix from finding out, he kept the five people
inside the chamber. Inside the sound proof house was a chamber that was in the deepest corner of the house,
making it almost isolated from the outside world.
As soon as Matthew stepped inside the place, a strong stench of blood wafted toward him. There were only three
people left on the floor.
This made Matthew curious as he closed in for a better look. The people in question were Crow, Charmine, and a
young man. The three people were drenched in blood. Crow, who had multiple stab wounds around his chest,

The young man had also stopped breathing, leaving Charmine the only one who was still hanging on by a thread.
But she was also on the edge of life or death as she had a knife stuck in her chest.
It wasn't because of Charmine's tenacity that she lived. Rather, it was due to Matthew, who sealed her blood
vessels just now, which slowed down her digestion of the curse powder, preventing her from dying a horrible
death.
Because of this, even when she got stabbed multiple times, she did not lose much blood, keeping her alive. Yet,
with such grievous wounds, it would be too late to save her even if she got admitted to the hospital!
While propping Charmine up, Matthew also inserted three silver needles into her acupuncture points, helping her
preserve what was left of her life.
"What happened here?" asked Matthew in a low voice.
Looking at the lifeless Crow on the ground, Charmine sobbed. "Master, he used the soulbound curse to help the
two traitors get rid of the needles. But, they... they were eyeing for the soulbound curse that Master possessed
and killed him for it."
"Not only that, they even dug out Reese's soulbound curse, killing him in the process. They then proceeded to
stabmultiple times so as not to leave any witnesses."
Matthew's expression darkened as he glanced at Crow with shock inside. He had underestimated Crow and did
not think that his curse was so strong that he could release himself from the seal. Yet, what vicious people he
had for disciples.
After their own master saved them, they actually killed him and snatched his soulbound curse away. When the
user was killed, the soulbound curse would lose its owner. When that happened, this treasure could be freely
taken by others.
It was natural that people would be hungry for a powerful soulbound curse such as Crow's.
Suddenly, Charmine grabbed onto Matthew's collar and said tremblingly, "M-Matthew, please help me..."
Frowning, Matthew answered, "Help you? Why? Have you somehow forgotten that we are enemies?"
Trembling, Charimine replied, "I'm going to die anyway. Whether we're allies or enemies is unimportant now. I-I

give you the silver fox. But in return, you must help me..."
The words made Matthew's expression slightly shift. A silver fox. Quite a rare item.
"What do you wantto do?"
Turning her head, Charmine looked longingly at her master and uttered, "The voodoo clansmen always placed
importance in one's return to his place of origin. H-Helpbring my master and Reese's bones back to Orleans,
back to Thousand Hills. If you can do that, then I can rest in peace after death."
This made Matthew respect her. Originally, Charmine did not leave a favorable impression on him. But, it was
this sentence that moved him.
In her final moments, instead of pleading with him to save her, she only thought of wanting his master and
martial brother's bodies to return to their hometown.
Although this woman practices the seductive charm curse, which plays with people's feelings, she herself is
actually a person who emphasizes loyalty!
