Chapter 1920

Matthew nodded. He had the same idea as well. "But what's with that thing on his back? It's curved, so

it's not a sword. It's also too thin to be a blade," he asked.

Salazar was staring at that item as well. Eventually, he whispered, "My guess? A katana."

Matthew's eyes went wide. "A katana?"

Katanas were common weapons used by Emsgate Warriors, and the thing on that person in black's

back fit the description. Katanas were a lot thinner than most blades. If that's a katana, then it explains

a lot. Emsgate Warriors are masters of assassinations, and they're trained in the Emsgate Technique.

More importantly, their concealment skills were top-notch. Emsgate Warriors could hide anywhere and

merge with their surroundings, deceiving the eyes of common men. This person fits the bill. he hides in

the darkness and became one with his surroundings. He deceived the eyes of common men, including

me. That's the Emsgate Technique, alright.

Matthew gasped. It was then something else struck him. "Hey… do you think Macon's this guy's boss?"

Back in Times Hotel, Macon did escape using the Emsgate Technique. Since then, Matthew had an

inkling of suspicion that Macon was related to the Emsgate Warriors. And one showed up right after

Macon came back to Granville. This is no coincidence.

Salazar nodded. "I think so."

"Really?"

Salazar waved him down and pointed at the distance. "Because he is here."

Matthew looked where he was pointing. There, in the darkness, someone was fast approaching, and

that person was none other than Macon. Matthew's eyes went wide. I knew it! He came prepared. He

hired a Emsgate Warrior. I guess he thinks he can take on Lord Voodoo easily now. I can't imagine why

he'd come back otherwise.

Matthew finally pieced the puzzle together. Before the Neverland fiasco, Macon was a top dog in

Stonedale. The ruler of it, so to speak. If Gregory could locate Lord Voodoo's lair, it wasn't beyond the

realm of possibilities that Macon could achieve the same feat. So, he hired this warrior to take

Voodoo's Stargulf. That confirmed Matthew's suspicion of Macon's relationship with the Emsgate

Warriors. Can't ask the warriors for help that easily otherwise.

Unbeknownst to Macon, people were hiding in the dark, watching his every move. He didn't really keep

his guard up, seeing as he thought this mission would be a success. He made his way to the courtyard

and easily vaulted into it. His wounds had healed a lot, apparently thanks to some skilled doctor behind

the scenes.

Even though they were some distance away from the courtyard, they still managed to hear the

commotion of a fight coming from within. It was grating to the ears, especially at midnight. Some people

in the neighborhood started cursing and yelling due to the noise. The battle did not last long, however,

as someone then came hurtling out of the house. Reąd at Drąmаոоvеls.com
