The Princess to Eight Uncles (Lily And Mr. Crawford) Chapter 383

Chapter 383 Tracking Down the Bald Man

Lilly had gone on the carousel ride twice by the time the spirits returned.

When she saw that there were only four of them, she asked curiously, “Huh? Did the man get away?”

The weakling spirit pressed his lips together. Then, he said in a low voice, “I’m sorry we’ve let you down, Lilly.”

The harem spirit added, “That man has a few tricks up his sleeve. He managed to stop us and slip away in the meantime.”

The unlucky ghost cried out gloomily, “We didn’t think that we’d fail to capture him!”

Lilly replied calmly. “Well, that’s alright.”

Hmm… I wonder who that man is? He managed to defeat all four spirits!

I should get a good look at the man and find out more about him if we meet again next time!

On her way home, Lilly bought a big bag of lollipops and ten rainbow-colored cotton candies.

I’ll give one cotton candy to each of the four spirits and Ms. ly. Then, I’ll give one to Hannah, Drake, and Josh. -Uncle Bryson and I will have one cotton candy each as well.

The spirits were elated, especially the harem spirit.

We’re still getting candies even though we haven’t caught the guy?!

The spirits couldn’t enjoy eating any food from the realm of the living anymore. However, that was not the case with the food offered to them by Lilly.

The harem spirit took a bite of the cotton candy and grinned broadly. “Ha… I couldn’t even recall when was the last time I had actual food…”

The weakling spirit kept the lollipops he received from Lilly in his pocket. Then, he started enjoying the cotton candy.

It’s so sweet!

The young boy had an expression of utter satisfaction on his face.

As soon as Lilly reached home, Bettany welcomed her back by giving her a tight embrace and a peck on Lilly’s cheek.

“What did you do at the amusement park today?” Bettany looked at Lilly with loving eyes.

Lilly paused for a moment. “We visited the haunted house! Uncle Bryson and the others kept sticking. close to me!”

Bettany furrowed her brows. “The haunted house?”

Bryson almost jumped upon hearing that. He quickly explained, “Anthony had all the staff who played the ghosts take the day off.”

Well, we didn’t see any fake ghosts, but we saw real ones….

Bettany gave a slight nod. Then, she said in a stern voice, “Still, you shouldn’t go to those places next time. You’re too young to be experiencing the haunted house at the amusement park.”

Josh and Lilly nodded vigorously. “Mhm! Mhin!”

That evening. Anthony arrived home just as they had gotten ready for dinner.

He was listening attentively to Lilly, describing her experience on the carousel rides in excitement.

“I had so much fun! Too bad there were too many people at the amusement park today. We spent a long time waiting in the line than the time we got to go on the ride!”

I was going to try the other rides, but there were so many people at the amusement park today. We’d have to spend a long time queueing up, and it was getting late. We decided to come home in the end.

Anthony nodded. “Do you like the amusement park?”

Lilly munched on a fried chicken drumstick as she said. “Yeap!”

Anthony replied, “Alright.”

I had planned to buy an island for Jean previously. I guess if time I get one and build an amusement park on it for Lilly

Lilly can have the park all to herself and enjoy the rides whenever she wants to. When she doesn’t want to, I can open the park to the public and make some profit from it.

Anthony came up with a plan for an amusement park project almost instantaneously.

A thought occurred to Lilly at that moment, “Uncle Anthony, can you help me find a person?”

Anthony responded instantly, “Sure.”

Bettany asked, “Who are you looking for?”

A mysterious smile played across Lilly’s face. “That’s a secret between me and Uncle Anthony!”

Bettany gave a soft chuckle and decided not to press Lilly over the matter.

Just then, Blake’s voice could be heard as he stepped through the door. “Finding a person isn’t your Uncle Anthony’s expertise. You should be asking me for those types of favors, Lilly.”

Lilly’s eyes lit up as she turned her gaze toward Blake. “Daddy!”

She picked up another drumstick and ran toward her father. “I wanted to, but Granny told me that you were busy. She said that I shouldn’t bother you. Daddy’s work is important after all!”

Blake beamed a broad grin at Lilly. “I’ll take a bite first and go wash my hands for dinner.”

As Blake leaned down to take a bite of the drumstick in Lilly’s hand, the young girl tripped and fell onto the floor. The drumstick went flying and dropped somewhere nearby.

Bettany was about to rise from her seat to help Lilly up, but Lilly had already gotten to her feet and picked up the drumstick in a flash.

“It was on the floor for less than three seconds! Here, Daddy! Have a bite!” Lilly lifted the drumstick in

Blake’s direction.

Blake had mixed feelings as he stared at the drumstick. After a brief pause, he opened his mouth and took a large bite of the drumstick. Then, he took the meat from Lilly’s hand.

“It’s very tasty!” Blake smiled sunnily at Lilly. There was not a trace of pretense in his eyes.

This is nothing compared to what I’ve had in the past. I had been in situations where I had to cat snakes or rodents since those were the only options available.

Then, Blake went to the sink to wash his hands and joined everyone at the table for dinner.

After dinner, Blake learned what happened at the haunted house from Lilly.

Hmm… I guess those places are suitable for training purposes as well…

“Daddy, are you going to find the man?” Lilly sat on Blake’s lap as she stared at the computer screen. She knitted her brows and acted as if she could understand the symbols displayed on the screen.

Blake was trying to hack into the amusement park’s surveillance system. He let out a low chuckle. “Do you think I can find him?”

Lilly responded chirpily, “Of course!”

Blake smiled slightly and pecked Lilly on the top of her head.

Soon enough, Blake managed to find the surveillance footage that they were looking for. It was footage showing the outer area of the haunted house.

Blake could see several visitors going about their businesses outside the haunted house at the time described by Lilly. Suddenly, a man was shown leaving the haunted house in a peculiar manner. It seemed the man was being chased, but Blake couldn’t see anyone going after that man on the screen.

“Is this the man you’re looking for?” Blake took a snapshot and enlarged the photo. A bald man could be seen in the photo.

Lilly took out the jar of souls and gave it a few shakes. lold on. I need to ask the spirits to confirm it.”

All four spirits were sent out of the jar the next instant. They were playing cards just a while ago, and the unlucky ghost even had a few paper strips stuck to his forehead.

All four of them looked bewildered as they stared at Lilly and Blake.
