The Princess to Eight Uncles (Lily And Mr. Crawford) Chapter 386

Chapter 386

Lilly took a glance around her. Then, she swiftly picked up the glass on the table and placed the glass against the wall with its mouth facing the skin.

In a flash, the skin-like paper figure was completely sucked into the glass.

Blake and Bryson were astonished at the sight of that.

Is that really possible??

I feel like I’m watching a sci-fi movie….

You make it seem so easy that I’m starting to think that I may be able to catch these supernatural beings myself as well.

Lilly used the talisman stuck to the wall to cover the mouth of the glass securely. Then, she covered the same spot with a second talisman for added protection. The others could still see the paper figure wriggling inside the glass and trying its best to break out of it.

Lilly raised her eyes and noticed that the adults were staring at her with looks of bewilderment.

She asked. “Daddy, what were you saying just now?”

Blake blinked a few times. “It’s nothing. I just wanted to know… if you need me to get you some snacks?”

Lilly put the glass on the table and rubbed her tummy a little. Then, she shook her head. “No…..”

I’m such an amateur… I’m going to punish myself by not having any snacks.

Blake found it both adorable and funny that Lilly was blaming herself for not detecting the paper figure soon enough.

“You’re amazing as you are now!” Blake carried her in his arms and tickled Lilly’s chin. The young girl burst out laughing the next instant.

“Daddy, have you found the bad guy?” Lilly asked, “He’s quite skilled. Yet, he’s trying to do bad things to others. We should catch him and have him locked up until Master returns!”

Blake had a look of approval in his eyes as he gazed at Lilly.

She’s very quick-witted. She knows it’s best to wait for her master to deal with that man since she can’t defeat the guy herself.

“I found him. I’ll catch the man tonight!”

Bryson thought pensively for a moment and said, “You should come up with a good excuse since you’d need to keep him detained for a couple of days.”

Blake raised a brow and declared matter-of-factly, “Why would I need a reason to detain someone?”

Bryson said, “…Aren’t you concerned that it may hurt your image?”

Blake replied nonchalantly, I’m the head of the MacNel family. What’s there to be worried about?”

Bryson was at a loss for words.

He has always seemed like an upright person. I finally realized how bold and unruly he could be…

Blake felt Lilly’s curious gaze on him, and he explained patiently, “Don’t worry. Daddy wouldn’t do anything against the law, I’ll find a reason to catch the man.”

Lilly’s eyes shone with admiration as she nodded vigorously.

Blake asked, “By the way, where is your master right now?”

Lilly replied, “When Zae was at the Palace of the Ruler of Hell, someone stopped him and tried to write down his name. Master is now trying to look for that person.”

“I see,” Blake answered.

He checked the time and gently placed Lilly down on the sofa. Then, he said, “I’m going out for a bit. I’ll be back very soon.”

Lilly nodded. “Mum! Mhm! Be careful, Daddy!”

Just then, a thought occurred to Blake. He smiled a little awkwardly at Lilly. “Lilly, can you give me some

of your talismans?”

Lilly reached for the bag that she left on the sofa. Then she took out a stack of talismans.

“Are these enough, Daddy?” Lilly held the talismans out generously. “I can draw a lot more talismans for you if you need them.”

Blake let out a hearty laugh and pinched Lilly’s cheek. These are more than enough.”

As Blake headed for the door, he heard Bryson asking in a soft voice, “Lilly, are you used to sleeping alone in your room? Do you want me to tell you some bedtime stories before you sleep?”

Blake snickered, “Bryson, are you feeling scared?”

Bryson fell silent as he tried to keep a straight face upon hearing that question..

Lilly looked at Bryson innocently. “I got used to sleeping in my room alone a long time ago! You don’t need to tell me any bedtime stories, Uncle Bryson.”

“However, I can tell you stories if you’re feeling scared

Bryson’s brows twitched. “That… you don’t have to do that….”

At a bustling corner of the city, numerous bright neon shop signs could be seen in a single street. The passersby could see multiple ladies standing near the entrance of each shop as they tried to attract

customers.

Just then, a tall and dashing man walked slowly down the street. Almost all the ladies standing outside the shops spotted him in an instant.

“Hey, hottie! Do you want to come inside and have some fun?”

“Would you like to get a drink with me? We sell all kinds of drinks here!”

“Would you care for a massage session, Mister?”

Those women went up to him and asked fervently.

Blake stopped in front of a massage parlor. He flashed the lady standing by the door a slight smile. “How much does it cost for a massage session?”

The lady thought that she might faint at any moment due to her joy and excitement.

Someone like you doesn’t have to pay me! I’m willing to pay you instead if that means I get a night with you!

Blake entered the shop and sat on the sofa.

The lady quickly pulled down the shutters and sat down next to Blake. Her cheeks blushed scarlet as she asked, “What kind of service are you looking for, Mister? We charge 100 dollars or 500 dollars. per session depending on the service you require. Also, we do accept additional requests from customers…”

Blake scanned the shop’s interior. Then, his gaze fell to the stairs leading to the second floor. He asked nonchalantly, “You’re the only person working in this shop?”

The lady smiled apologetically. “There’s only me here at the moment. My coworkers have gone out for dinner. I can contact them and have all of them come back if that’s what you want.”

Blake replied, “What kind of services do

you offer?”

I want to get chummy with him if that’s possible. Strangely enough, even though this man looks just like any other thugs I’ve met, I can’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of presence from him.

The lady sat beside Blake with her hands placed on her lap. She winked at Blake. “We provide any kind of services that you want, of course.”

Blake said, “Be specific. I don’t like to beat around the bush.”

The lady’s face was as red as a beet. “We… We provide all kinds of services in bed!”

Blake turned his eyes to the lady. “You mean s*x services?”

The lady was about to slap Blake lightly on the shoulder. “Oh, my! Do you have to be so blunt about it…”

Suddenly, Blake snapped one side of a handcuff around the lady’s wrist.

“I’m with the police.” Blake got to his feet and straightened his clothes a little. “You’re under arrest.”

The lady stared at Blake with a doleful look in her eyes

Blake secured the other side of the handcuff to the handle on the sofa. Then, he used the tape placed on the nearby desk to seal the lady’s mouth.

“Hush.” Blake said in a low voice, “Be quiet.”

The lady couldn’t help but feel her heart racing.

Fine! Take me! I don’t mind getting arrested if you’re the one who’s taking me away!

On the second floor, a topless bald man was sitting on the bed with his legs crossed. He had a pained expression as he tried with all his might to pull off the “skin” on his back.

“That little girl is quite good…” The man muttered through clenched teeth.

I’m still pretty shaken thinking about those four spirits coming after me. Luckily, I managed to escape…

Just then, the door burst open. A tall man rushed at the bald man and pressed the latter against the floor. Then, the stranger swiftly placed several talismans on the bald man’s forehead and back.

The bald man cried in pain as the talismans started burning with eerie green flames.

“Who are you?!” The bald man asked frantically.

Blake smirked. “I’m with the authorities. You’re coming with me.”

The bald man was flabbergasted.

Since when did the authorities start using talismans during an arrest…
