Chapter 399 Grace In Danger


    "Perhaps he swapped his life with someone else?" said Lilly.


    "Impossible." Pablo shook his head. "If that''s the case, it will be written here."


    Right then, ke returned, but without his usual air of confidence.


    "What''s the matter, Daddy?" asked Lilly, concerned.


    ke knelt before his daughter. "I failed to catch Chris."


    "It''s okay, Daddy. I''m sure you can catch him next time." Lilly then patted her father. This small gesture


    was enough to cheer ke up.


    "So were you saying just now?" asked ke.


    Lilly then recited the conversation she had with Pablo to ke. As ke listened to their hypothesis, a


    name appeared in ke''s mind. Maryn Kamily. He then found himself a sheet of paper and jotted down


    three names. Baldy, Chris, and Maryn. He then added a circle that contained a question mark next to


    them.


    "This circle represents the mysterious figure," exined ke. "Chris gave Baldy the ghost bride. That


    alone tells us that there is some sort of power dynamic between them. Like that of a leader and his


    subordinate. As for Maryn, Chris must have given her the parasitic love talisman. Based on my


    observation so far, she hasn''t done anything out of the ordinary so I don''t think she knows what the


    talisman does."


    "I see." Lilly nodded. Her brain was like a sponge, absorbing everything very quickly.


    "Therefore, I conclude that Chris did not swap his life with someone else. Instead, someone paid Chris


    to swap that someone''s life with somebody else. Your master once said that powerful individuals had


    the ability to visit the Underworld. I believe Chris must have intercepted Zachary''s soul when Zachary''s


    surgery was underway."


    Pablo couldn''t help but nod. Everything made sense when ke put it that way.


    "Isn''t it too much of a coincidence then? Chris was there when Zac was heading to the Pce of the


    Ruler of Hell?" asked Lilly.


    "It could be that Chris would visit the Underworld every day at a specific time. Zachary was just one of


    the souls he intercepted that day."

    "I see. So someone paid Chris to find a suitable vessel for him. That''s why Chris has been studying this


    matter." Lilly made a simple summary.


    "That''s my girl! So smart!"plimented ke proudly.


    As the groupughed, Lilly''s mobile watch buzzed.


    "Quinnie is calling?" Lilly was confused. Quinnie should be busy shooting a TV series with Jonas. Why


    would she call?


    "Lilly, are you free? I think Gracie is sick. She is not responsive!" Quinnie''s anxious voice appeared.


    "Where are your parents?" Lilly immediately got ready to leave.


    "They are traveling. I''m busy with the shooting so I left Gracie in my apartment. Usually, it''s fine. My


    apartment has security cameras so I often check on her. Today, she''s lying on one spot unusually long.


    She won''t pick up her phone and I got worried. I called the building guards but they didn''t have the key.


    The locksmith I contacted cannote right away. I..."


    Quinnie knew there were better people to call for help. But somehow, she felt that calling Lilly was the


    right thing to do. After learning the situation, ke and Lilly bolted out, hopped into the car, and drove


    away. When they arrived at the destination, the locksmith Quinnie summoned was tinkering with the


    lock.


    "Let me handle this, mister," ke spoke to the locksmith.


    The locksmith was wondering why a random stranger was interrupting his work. But he got his answer


    shortly after. ke raised his leg and kicked the door wide open.


    Once the passage was clear, Lilly ran inside. The first thing she saw made her gasp out loud.
