The Princess to Eight Uncles (Lily And Mr. Crawford) Chapter 397

Chapter 397 Soul Puppet

Grace fainted at home without anyone noticing Time was nicking, inching closer to the 12-hour mark…

Chris had already instructed his disciples to search for race before his return. With the help of his divination, he gathered detailed information about Grate

Chris grunted, “She is merely a brat

Chris became increasingly irritated at the thought of young girl daring to defy him.

Chris stood up, and he went to wash his hand. Then, he took out his spirit compass made with unique materials. He wanted to seek an answer if Grace could survive the torture through divination.

Anyone who defied him deserved to die.

Even if Grace survived, it would be a matter of time before she submitted to Chris. He loved nothing more than seeing those stubborn individuals begging for his mercy.

Chris arranged the spirit compass properly. Then, the compass made a faint cracking sound, revealing an inexplicable crack.

Chris’s face changed drastically in shock.

Then, Chris promptly checked his future through divination, and he exclaimed. “This is bad!”

Chris couldn’t care less about whether Grace would survive.

Chris realized a disaster was approaching him. If he failed to escape it, he would die!

After gaining this knowledge, Chris sprinted to the parking garage. He hastily drove away to escape.

After leaving the neighborhood, Chris promptly switched to a different car. Then, he transitioned to the subway, and he hurried to the airport at top speed. Once there, he boarded the next available flight and left the country without delay.

Chris fled like a scurrying rat, escaping swiftly.

Blake acted swiftly, from locating Chris to surrounding his villa. Upon learning that he had fled, Blake immediately began investigating his whereabouts. However, Blake was one step behind.

Blake’s gaze remained cold as he stared at the airplane in the sky.

Blake wished to have a cannon because of his strong une to shoot down the airplane, assuming no other passengers were on it.

Find out where this flight is headed,” Blake said with astern expression.

Layton didn’t know what happened. He assumed that a big shot was on the plane.

“The flight is heading to Avianville.”

Blake instructed, “Gather the team over there. Once the person gets off the plane, capture him immediately.”

Blake made a promise to Lilly to capture Chris, but he failed.

1/3

Blake had long forgotten when was the last time he failed.

This outcome signaled to Blake that Chris might be a challenging opponent.

Chris was in a panic even though he had already boarded the plane.

Chris’s disciples worshipped him like a god. Many people from different walks of life would address him. as Master Chris.

However, Chris was a timid person, which was why he lived with great caution.

“I should be fine after boarding the plane.”

Chris didn’t know who he had offended, but the opponent was beyond his level.

However, Chris believed the opponent’s influence wouldn’t extend beyond Dudroinia.

Chris thought there was no way the opponent could reach him when he was overseas!

As Chris calmed down, he thought about his frantic escape earlier and felt incredibly embarrassed. The more he thought about it, the more his face turned sour

Chris disliked the threat of having someone mightier than him!

This incident sparked Chris’s determination to rise above everyone else.

While being immersed in his thoughts, Chris decided to perform another divination.

The result was that Chris had not escaped from the upcoming disaster, which surprised him.

Dammit… How could my opponent hunt me down even outside Dudroinia?

Chris furrowed his brow. He deliberately spilled his drink on his clothes, and he bought a new outfit from one of the passengers.

Chris was also afraid of being caught after getting off the plane. He triggered the paper figure hidden under his tongue.

No matter how well-trained Blake’s men were in Avianville, they wouldn’t expect to encounter such a unique target. Chris eluded Blake’s men again.

Three hours later, Blake received an update through a phone call. His men had yet to locate the target. After verifying the passengers’ data, they discovered that Chris had already left..

Blake felt frustrated that he had failed!

Avianville was located in a foreign country. Blake’s men faced some delays in accessing the airport’s surveillance system. Chris could have taken a few more flights. By that time, they would completely lose track of him.

Layton reassured, “Mr. MacNeil, he might escape for now, but he can’t hide forever. We will capture him

in the end.”

Blake remained silent for a while, but he eventually said. “It’s time to head back.”

2/3

Blake was frustrated because he was an idol to Lilly… His perfect image was about to shatter this time.

Lilly must be disappointed.

Blake was deeply worried.

After having lunch. Lilly saw a figure appear in her room. Master has returned!

Lilly was overjoyed. She eagerly rushed to her master. Master, I miss you!”

After a long period of work, Pablo was tired. However, the exhaustion faded away after Lilly ran up to him.

“Do you miss me?” Pablo chuckled. “Are you sure you’re not asking something from me?”

Pable was teasing Lilly, but he didn’t expect her to lower her head in embarrassment as she spoke, “Yeah… I need your help, Master.”

Pablo was speechless.

Can’t you prolong the blissful moment a bit longer?

Pablo chuckled in defeat. He asked, “What’s the matter

Lilly told Pablo about what had happened recently. Then, Lilly showed the paper figure sealed in a cup on

the table.

Pablo picked up the paper figure, wrapping it between his fingers. He squinted his eyes in a serious expression.

“Soul puppet!” Pablo commented, “This individual knows what he is doing!”

It was Lilly’s second time to hear this comment.

Lilly was curious why did Pablo make that remark.

Lilly asked, “What’s a soul puppet?”

Pablo explained, “Paper figures are usually used to honor the deceased. They are intended for the dead.”

“Conversely, a soul puppet utilizes the deceased’s spirit as an offering to a paper figure. This ritual enables various functionalities in the paper figure.”

“The soul puppet can serve its master in various tasks, such as possession, stealing luck, plundering other’s life, and even robbing a physical body.”

Lilly was puzzled, “How do you rob a physical body?”

Pablo explained, “For instance, after the soul puppet is attached to Uncle Bryson, he will become another person someday in the future.”
