Chapter 397 Soul Puppet


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


    Chris had already instructed his disciples to search for Grace before his return. With the help of his


    divination, he gathered detailed information about Grace.


    Chris grunted, "She is merely a brat…"


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


    Chris stood up, and he went to wash his hand. Then, he took out his spiritpass 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 spiritpass properly. Then, thepass 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 eximed, "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 avable flight and


    left the country without dy.


    Chris fled like a scurrying rat, escaping swiftly.

    ke acted swiftly, from locating Chris to surrounding his vi. Upon learning that he had fled, ke


    immediately began investigating his whereabouts. However, ke was one step behind.


    ke''s gaze remained cold as he stared at the airne in the sky.


    ke wished to have a cannon because of his strong urge to shoot down the airne, assuming no


    other passengers were on it.


    "Find out where this flight is headed," ke said with a stern expression.


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


    "The flight is heading to Avianville."


    ke instructed, "Gather the team over there. Once this person gets off the ne, capture him


    immediately."


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


    ke had long forgotten when was thest time he failed.


    This oue signaled to ke that Chris might be a challenging opponent.


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


    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 ne."


    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 uing 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 ne. He triggered the paper figure hidden


    under his tongue.


    No matter how well-trained ke''s men were in Avianville, they wouldn''t expect to encounter such a


    unique target. Chris eluded ke''s men again.


    …


    Three hourster, ke 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.


    ke felt frustrated that he had failed!


    Avianville was located in a foreign country. ke''s men faced some dys in essing the airport''s


    surveince system. Chris could have taken a few more flights. By that time, they wouldpletely


    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."


    ke remained silent for a while, but he eventually said, "It''s time to head back."


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


    Lilly must be disappointed.


    ke 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!" Pablomented, "This individual knows what he is doing!"


    It was Lilly''s second time to hear thisment.


    Lilly was curious why did Pablo make that remark.


    Lilly asked, "What''s a soul puppet?"


    Pablo exined, "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 exined, "For instance, after the soul puppet is attached to Uncle Bryson, he will be


    another person someday in the future."
