Chapter 559


    The man in ck continued to search for any trace, but he could not sense anything anymore.


    He summoned the white-headed female ghost, but she did not return.


    He felt a sense of bewilderment.


    He trained the female ghost himself and they shared a close bond. Even if she had been killed, she


    would have sent a distress signal before her demise.


    The man in ck’s eyes narrowed. “Could Lilly be here as well?”


    He was no longer willing to wait in the room, he stepped out and traversed the corridors, trying to sense


    any presence of ghosts.


    As long as there were ghosts nearby, even if they were concealed from his view, he could still detect


    them.


    However, he encountered nothing along his path.


    …


    Meanwhile, ke had already left the hotel.


    He chose a hot pot restaurant across the street, where the chef on the first floor diligently tended to the


    soup over a high me.


    The stove in front of ke burned fiercely, enveloping the hot pot restaurant in a sweltering


    atmosphere.


    Hot, bustling ces were ideal for concealing oneself.


    However, the doll was not exactly thrilled about the situation.


    As they ate, ke gazed intently at the hotel across the street and spoke, “This level of positive energy


    should be nothing to you. Just stay quiet!”


    The doll was speechless.


    You’re so mighty, yet you want me to hide under the table while you’re eating!


    Just then, ke noticed a man in ck clothinging out of the hotel.


    His eyes narrowed, instantly locking onto the figure.


    ke’s intuition led him to lock onto the man, despite his seemingly ordinary appearance. The reason


    behind this intuitive response was unclear to him.


    After the man’s copse, ke swiftly left the room and locked the door behind him. With his


    connections, he could handle the situation discreetly by contacting the local authorities.


    However, the man’s death and the subsequent disappearance of his soul, as well as the ghost being


    swallowed by the doll, did not raise any suspicions for King Libra.


    Observing the man as he left the hotel and strolled, ke retrieved a small drone.


    “I’m using technology to catch ghosts,” ke said to the doll, “You can’t be useful in situations like this.”


    The doll remained silent.


    The drone was about the size of a mobile phone. It transformed from a folded state to a drone, it


    extended several “ws” and flew out of the window.


    The tiny drone followed closely behind the man in ck, transmitting live footage back to ke’s


    phone.


    Once King Libra left the hotel, he carefully surveyed his surroundings. Although there were a few


    ghosts scattered along the roadside and near the bridge, none of them matched his target.


    He continued to walk, he converted wandering ghosts into his informants and underlings.


    If his ghost general had truly been killed, the person who did it had to possess considerable power.


    Such a formidable individual would either be a practitioner or an expert in defeating fierce ghosts.


    King Libra was confident that he would be able to the person, be it a ghost or a practitioner. However,


    little did he know that ke was watching his every move using technology instead of using old


    methods.


    ke’s “ace pilot” was flying 1600 feet above his head, monitoring his every move…


    …


    ke leisurely enjoyed a hot pot while casually observing the surveince footage on his phone.


    Being able to ess the plug-in was advantageous. He watched as the ck-clothed man strolled


    through the streets, meticulously ruling out certain locations.


    Given his swift pace, it seemed he could search the entire county in the dark.


    “He’s here. The Cloud must be nearby.”


    ke knew that he could not move as swiftly as this person who seemed to appear out of thin air.


    Judging by his actions, this person could be King Libra.


    “I overlooked it. I should have learned fortune-telling from Lilly,” ke grumbled. “If only Lilly were


    here…”


    Suddenly, his gaze shifted toward the doll in his hand. “Why don’t you deal with him for me?”


    Didn’t you say you’re gonna deal with him with technology earlier?


    ke found the idea quite logical.


    The doll was silent.


    At that moment, a familiar, gentle voice called out, “Daddy!”


    ke looked up in astonishment and saw a small figure dashing towards him—it was Lilly!


    “Why are you here?” ke swiftly caught Lilly and looked at her little face.


    Anthony told him on the phone that Lilly fainted and herplexion was pale.


    While ke appearedposed as he searched for someone, deep down he was genuinely worried


    about Lilly.


    There was no way topensate for the fear of losing her.


    But now, looking at her with her rosyplexion and clear eyes…


    It seemed like everything was fine.


    Lilly exined, “I came with Uncle Anthony. Uncle Anthony and Aunt Lisa are behind me!”


    As she finished speaking, Anthony entered through the door. He nced at ke and said, “Having


    hot pot early in the morning?”


    ke replied, “Well, hot pot is full of positive energy. It helps me replenish my strength.”


    Anthony was silent.


    Following Anthony, Lisa poked her head out and eximed, “Hot pot, yum yum!”


    She stared at the steaming pot and drooled.


    It smelled delicious!


    Lilly also raised her hand and said, “Uncle Anthony, I want to have hot pot too!”


    Anthony nced at the restaurant infested with flies and thought it was not that clean.


    It doesn’t matter if we can’t handle it but Lilly’s still young!


    ke pulled out a chair, cing the doll on the seat next to the window for Lilly to sit on.


    Hidden amidst the streets and alleys, there were always some culinary delights. Despite the


    unimpressive ambiance, the ingredients were still fresh.


    Having tried this hot pot himself and finding it delicious, ke thought it was worth a try. Since they


    were far from the olddy’s ce, he seized the opportunity to let Lilly experience the vors of a small


    county town.

    “What would you like to eat?” ke asked, holding the menu. “How about some pork belly? Or perhaps


    beef? Uh… would you like some pork?”


    Lilly and Lisa’s eyes widened as Lisa said, “All of them!”


    Anthony had no choice but to sit down and let the boss take their orders once again.


    He selected fresh mushrooms, vegetables, beef, andmb. While cooking the mutton for Lilly, he


    asked, “Have you found anyone?”


    ke shook his head. “Cloud has impressive skills. He’s hiding quite well.”


    He proceeded to recount the events of the past two days.


    Suddenly, Lilly asked, “Dad, will King Libra find us?”


    ke shook his head. “Not for the time being. From what I saw, he’s rather arrogant. Once he


    confirmed that the person he was searching for isn’t here, he won’t return.”


    Sometimes, overconfidence could be a fatal w.


    ke asked again, “Is Mrs. Crawford doing well? Did she agree when all of you said you wereing


    here?”


    Anthony replied, “She’s doing well now. Lilly wanted toe, and she had no objections.”


    Bettany was aware of everything.
