Chapter 344 ke Clears The Battlefield


    Bettany sneered, "The library is so dirty?"


    Hannah had a gifted talent for lying. She said, "We went to the library and read in silence. After that, a


    librarian was arranging the bookshelves when she fell off adder. He started to cry and was unsure of


    what to do because he couldn''t finish his work. We felt bad for him, so we helped him organize the


    shelves. We smudged our faces because there was a lot of dust on the shelves."


    Drake and Josh twitched their mouths.


    Bettany was speechless. Probably only Hannah could tell such a tant lie with a straight face. This


    girl thought her story was wless.


    "Why are the soles of your shoes ck?"


    Bettany yed along with her lie. She wanted to see what kind of outrageous lie Hannah coulde


    up with next.


    Hannah said confidently, "Some books are kept in the warehouse, and the ce is dirty. We went to


    the warehouse to move books."


    She rendered Bettany speechless. Sheforted herself; at least her logic was not too bad.


    The olddy looked fierce, and shemanded, "All of you! Stand in the corner!"


    The kids instinctively walked up to the door; even Zachary, who had an extremely slow reaction, also


    stood neatly in line.


    Bettany grunted and nced at Drake. She wanted to ask Drake something, but Anthony returned at


    this time.


    As soon as Anthony returned, he saw the kids lined up beside the door as if they were weing


    him. He handed his briefcase to Jack and asked, "What happened?"


    Bettany told him the story of the kids sneaking out to have fun.


    "I have no idea where they went. Is this something to joke about? They imed they visited the library,


    but in reality, they had snuck outside to y. What happens if they sneak over to the reservoir?"


    Many children were reported to have drowned while swimming in the reservoir during the summer


    break. Bettany was not upset when the kids went outside to y. She was irate because they did not


    inform the adults, and it could be dangerous.


    Anthony looked at Drake and said, "Don''t worry, they were with Drake; he knows the limits."


    Bettany looked at Drake; she was curious about his response.


    Drake lied through his teeth; he said, "Hannah is telling the truth."


    Bettany was stunned. Do you take me for a fool?


    Drake pursed his lips and exined, "She lied about the study; she was reading aic, so she


    described everything like she was telling a story."


    Bettany red at Drake.


    Anthonyughed and said, "Mom, don''t you trust Drake?"


    Bettany grunted lightly. She shifted her gaze, and her expression softened. She conceded and said,


    "Alright then, I''m just worried about your safety. You did well by helping the librarian."


    Hannah immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She felt quite pleased with herself.


    Whoo-hoo! I had sessfully deceived Granny.


    Then, Hannah saw her Granny smiled at Lilly and asked, "Lilly, did you have fun at the library?"


    Lilly was caught off guard, and she answered, "It was fun, but…"


    Bettany immediately asked, "But what?"


    Lilly thought for a moment and said, "It''s just that my siblings are too clingy. I could barely walk!"


    Bettany was stunned. What did she mean by being clingy? Hannah and Josh liked to y with Lilly, but


    Zachary and Drake would not do that.


    Bettany wanted to probe deeper, but Anthony pulled her inside the house. He said, "That''s enough,


    Mom. The children must be hungry. We should eat now!"


    Lilly''s tummy cooperated very well; it rumbled at this time. She looked pitifully and blinked her eyes at


    Bettany. She said, "Granny, my tummy says it can''t hold on anymore. My siblings must feel the same."


    Bettany felt both helpless and amused.


    Anthony had voiced his opinion, so she would not probe any further.


    Anthony was the backbone of the Crawfords. Even though Drake was unreliable, Anthony would know


    his own limits.


    Bettany said helplessly, "Go…wash your hands. Forget it; take your bath. Come down for your meal


    after taking a shower."


    Hannah and Lilly cheered, "Yeah! "Grandma is the best!"


    Hannah happily added, "Granny is amazing!"


    Josh was relieved, and he quickly left to take a bath. Drake was a clean freak; he silently went upstairs.


    Zachary stayed put.


    Bettany took two steps forward, then she turned around and asked, "What''s wrong? Aren''t you hungry?


    You still want to stand here a little longer?"


    Zachary started to walk away. He murmured as he walked, "It''s true that we went to the library."


    Bettany suddenly called Zachary and said, "Zac, I need you to go to the hospital with me tomorrow."


    Zachary was unaware that the purpose of his visit to the hospital was to have a physical examination.


    He nodded and said, "Okay."


    His grandparents have recently forced him to help them with a variety of tasks, such as sprinkling


    flower petals while Granny was dancing or helping her lift her skirt for a flowing effect in photographs.


    Zachary agreed out of habit rather than asking the reason for going to the hospital.


    …


    On the other hand, Bem Asylum went back to deathly silence after Lilly dealt with the ghost.


    A tall man showed up at the asylum''s north-side entrance as dusk fell. The man entered the building


    after adjusting his baseball cap.


    This man was ke.


    ke felt a chill spread through his body as soon as he entered the hospital. He was very familiar with


    this feeling. He might not have noticed this sensation if it were not for the two footprints that followed


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    him around.


    What kind of man was ke? Once he experiences something, he can quickly hone his keenness. As


    he moved through the abandoned hospital, he was able to sense ghosts even though he could not see


    them.


    He sensed that someone was following him. From the left, he perceived someone observing him.


    Without blinking, he fixed his eyes on the ghost he assumed was floating in front of him. He also felt a


    chill on top of his head. ke imagined a scene from a horror movie in his mind where a ghost was


    hanging upside down from the ceiling and reaching out a hand to touch ke.


    ke abruptly came to a stop. He peered down the long corridor while squinting his eyes.


    He entered the building through the side entrance. When he entered the structure, the floor was


    covered in a thickyer of dust, and there were no footprints.


    He noticed a messy footprint in the corridor in front of him. Judging from the size, two of them belonged


    to a young boy, perhaps eight or nine years old, and the other two to a young girl, perhaps four or five.


    Oh, had the kids been here?


    Josh''s client list from that morning came to ke''s mind. ke instantly gained confidence as a God of


    Battle, a semi-practitioner, and a semi-detective. Lilly''s presence indicates that all dangerous forces


    that could endanger his life have been defeated. Only a few minor spirits or wandering spirits were left


    in the building.


    The little one said that ghosts could harm mortals when they were stronger, but they could also be


    suppressed when mortals were stronger. In this case, he should clean up the battlefield.


    "Die!" ke suddenly threw a punch.


    The ghost that floated in front of him was caught off guard and sted away. He let out a miserable


    scream as it fell onto another ghost.


    "What the hell?"


    The ghost was stunned. Something is wrong. Why isn''t the amulet I bought from that little girl in the


    morning working? Have I attached it incorrectly?


    The ghost took off the amulet that was stuck to its forehead, flipped it over, and stuck it back on.


    This amulet should be working now.
