Chapter 386 A Valid Reason
Lilly took a nce around her. Then, she swiftly picked up the ss on the table and ced the ss
against the wall with its mouth facing the skin.
In a sh, the skin-like paper figure waspletely sucked into the ss.
ke 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…
Lilly used the talisman stuck to the wall to cover the mouth of the ss 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 ss 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?"
ke blinked a few times. "It''s nothing. I just wanted to know… if you need me to get you some
snacks?"
Lilly put the ss 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.
ke found it both adorable and funny that Lilly was ming herself for not detecting the paper figure
soon enough.
"You''re amazing as you are now!" ke carried her in his arms and tickled Lilly''s chin. The young girl
burst outughing 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!"
ke 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 shoulde up with a good excuse since you''d
need to keep him detained for a couple of days."
ke raised a brow and dered matter-of-factly, "Why would I need a reason to detain someone?"
Bryson said, "...Aren''t you concerned that it may hurt your image?"
ke replied nonchntly, "I''m the head of the MacNeil 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…
ke felt Lilly''s curious gaze on him, and he exined patiently, "Don''t worry. Daddy wouldn''t do
anything against thew. I''ll find a reason to catch the man."
Lilly''s eyes shone with admiration as she nodded vigorously.
ke asked, "By the way, where is your master right now?"
Lilly replied, "When Zac was at the Pce 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," ke answered.
He checked the time and gently ced Lilly down on the sofa. Then, he said, "I''m going out for a bit. I''ll
be back very soon."
Lilly nodded. "Mhm! Mhm! Be careful, Daddy!"
Just then, a thought urred to ke. 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."
ke let out a heartyugh and pinched Lilly''s cheek. "These are more than enough."
As ke 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?"
ke 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 multipledies 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 thedies standing outside
the shops spotted him in an instant.
"Hey, hottie! Do you want toe 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.
ke stopped in front of a massage parlor. He shed thedy standing by the door a slight smile.
"How much does it cost for a massage session?"
Thedy 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!
ke entered the shop and sat on the sofa.
Thedy quickly pulled down the shutters and sat down next to ke. Her cheeks blushed scarlet as
she asked, "What kind of service are you looking for, Mister? We charge 100 dors or 500 dors per
session depending on the service you require. Also, we do ept additional requests from
customers…"
ke scanned the shop''s interior. Then, his gaze fell to the stairs leading to the second floor. He asked
nonchntly, "You''re the only person working in this shop?"
Thedy 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 theme back if that''s what you want."

ke 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.
Thedy sat beside ke with her hands ced on herp. She winked at ke. "We provide any
kind of services that you want, of course."
ke said, "Be specific. I don''t like to beat around the bush."
Thedy''s face was as red as a beet. "We… We provide all kinds of services in bed!"
ke turned his eyes to thedy. "You mean s*x services?"
Thedy was about to p ke lightly on the shoulder. "Oh, my! Do you have to be so blunt about
it…"
Suddenly, ke snapped one side of a handcuff around thedy''s wrist.
"I''m with the police." ke got to his feet and straightened his clothes a little. "You''re under arrest."
Thedy stared at ke with a doleful look in her eyes.
ke secured the other side of the handcuff to the handle on the sofa. Then, he used the tape ced
on the nearby desk to seal thedy''s mouth.
"Hush." ke said in a low voice, "Be quiet."
Thedy 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 spiritsing after me. Luckily, I managed to escape…
Just then, the door burst open. A tall man rushed at the bald man and pressed thetter against the
floor. Then, the stranger swiftly ced several talismans on the bald man''s forehead and back.
The bald man cried in pain as the talismans started burning with eerie green mes.
"Who are you?!" The bald man asked frantically.
ke smirked. "I''m with the authorities. You''reing with me."
The bald man was bbergasted.
Since when did the authorities start using talismans during an arrest…
