Chapter 562 I’ll Send You to the Ruler of Hell


    Across the street, the man in ck appeared like a phantom, intermittently emerging at the intersection


    and the entrances of various shops, trailed by a swarm of shadowy figures resembling skeletal insects.


    And then...


    To Cloud''s bewilderment, ke was following the man in ck with Lilly!


    Cloud''s mind raced with confusion. Was ke being so tant in his approach?


    How could he tail someone like this? Is this how ke stalks people in broad daylight?


    Cloud quickly averted his gaze, feeling foolish for even entertaining such thoughts.


    When the traffic light turned green, Cloud continued walking, after that, he reached an alleyway.


    However, he knew that the man in ck would discover ke.


    Cloud pondered.


    Perhaps ke is certain that the man in ck didn''t recognize him. But the man in ck didn''t appear


    to be dumb...


    Unable to understand what ke was doing, Cloud reluctantly chose to trust that ke had a n and


    that reinforcements would arrive.


    As he entered the alley, Cloud''s surroundings transformed. The small, winding pathway led deeper into


    the older residential area of the city. While Lemon County boasted newly constructedmercial


    buildings, this particr neighborhood consisted of homes built by the residents themselves. The


    the day, most people were at work, with only a few going out early to buy groceries.


    Silence enveloped the alley.


    Finally, upon hearing footsteps behind him, Cloud turned his head and spotted a dark figure standing


    not far away, locking eyes with him.


    ke and Lilly stood motionless, concealed behind a nearby wall, their presence shrouded in secrecy.


    Cloud felt a lump forming in his throat, almost choking on the words he intended to say. However, he


    managed to react swiftly. He nced back and forth before yelling, "Who the hell are you? Why are you


    following me?"


    Just as he thought about what the man in ck would say, in the blink of an eye, the man closed the


    distance, pressing his face close to Cloud.


    "Hehe! Cloud," the man addressed him using his real name.


    Cloud''s expression abruptly changed, his eyes sharpening with suspicion. "Who are you?" he


    demanded.


    King Libra burst intoughter.


    How amusing.


    Did he think he was so well-disguised that no one would recognize him?


    He seems like he''s just as dim-witted as a kid.


    "Who am I..." King Libra grinned, tilting his neck to the side. "I''vee to take your head."


    Cloud instinctively stood in a defensive stance, taking a couple of steps backward.


    Meanwhile, ke and Lilly stepped forward, as if they believed they were hidden well enough.


    Cloud was left speechless.


    What kind of tactic is this?!


    Even if they walked openly and without suspicion, nobody would suspect a thing!


    Cloud was about to gesture to ke not toe any closer but to take Lilly away instead. However,


    before he could speak, the figure of the man in ck flickered and reappeared before him, grabbing his


    neck with one hand.


    Cloud''s pupils contracted.


    The man''s speed was astonishing!


    This person... was not a human!


    "You…"


    Cloud was speechless as the man''s grip tightened around his neck, causing him to wonder if his head


    would be twisted off right then and there.


    King Libra, sensing his victory, wore a cruel smile on his face. "Do you want to know why I''m ending


    your life?" he taunted.


    "If you''re looking for someone to me, me your obedient niece, Lilly! Once you be a ghost,


    remember that it was Lilly who killed you," he continued with a malicious sneer. "I wouldn''t have killed


    you if it wasn''t for her."


    Cloud desperately attempted to break free from the man''s grasp, but his efforts proved futile. He


    realized he was utterly powerless against such force.


    All he could do was cast a pleading look towards ke, his eyes filled with anxiety and despair, silently


    urging him to take Lilly and flee.


    King Libra turned his gaze back, his expression filled with suspicion.


    ke and Lilly immediately froze in ce, as if time had stopped.


    Father and daughter locked in synchrony, like statues caught in mid-motion.


    Cloud''s frustration reached its peak.


    I need help here, hello? Why aren''t yall doing anything?


    Cloud wanted to scold ke. He wanted to scold ke for drinking too much which fried his brain,


    leading him to involve Lilly in this deceitful scheme.


    However, to his astonishment, he saw the man in ck before he turned his head back, his eyes


    brimming with suspicion.


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    Cloud was even more confused.


    Didn''t I see ke and Lilly earlier? What''s going on?


    Were ke and Lilly invisible to the man?


    Cloud was dumbfounded.


    To King Libra, Cloud''s expression seemed like he was deprived of oxygen and was on the brink of


    death.


    "Tsk tsk, I hope you''ll die a painful death." King Libra said coldly. "When I present your severed head to


    Lilly, she''ll be consumed by anger, heartache, and despair..."


    "Hahaha...uh!"


    King Libra''s smile had barely spread across his face when suddenly, a colossal Pce of the Ruler of


    Hell was hurtled toward him!


    His pupils contracted in terror, but before he could evade the disaster, he was obliterated into a bloody


    mist!


    "Poof!"


    Cloud saw a crimson-red haze.


    His innocent and adorable niece, seemingly powerless, had wielded a pcerger than a house and


    smashed the man in ck who had been choking him into a mist of blood. He witnessed a person


    evaporate right in front of him, leaving behind not a single trace of flesh or skin.


    Oh no, he left a hand!


    Horror-stricken, Cloud ripped off the arm that was still sped around his neck, seizing the opportunity


    while the other party was still frozen. Otherwise, it would have been near impossible to free himself


    "Lilly, you..." Cloud was taken aback. "You killed someone!"


    Lilly blinked innocently. "He''s not a human!"


    Cloud felt his heart pounding and his ears ringing.


    He knew that Lilly could see ghosts.


    He also knew that ghosts existed in the world...


    However, the person was right in front of him just moments ago. He could still tell if he was a human or


    not.


    The man had a shadow and he could feel the man''s warmth when he was being choked. Cloud could


    even see the veins on his face.


    How isn''t he human?


    Even if he was not human, what was the arm Cloud was holding onto?


    "Lilly, you and your father should go ahead! I''ll stay here to handle the aftermath," Cloud urged.


    He understood that now was not the time to dwell on whether the man was human or not. Lilly killed


    someone, and he needed to address the situation promptly.


    Cloud''s immediate instinct was to tend to the aftermath and ensure Lilly would not be affected by it.


    If this incident were to be ssified as murder, he would bear responsibility.


    However, before he could react, Lilly reached out and seized the severed arm from his hand. "Uncle


    Cloud, give it to me!" she insisted.


    With a swift motion, Lilly flung the arm towards the Pce of the Ruler of Hell.


    The scene unfolded with remarkable precision, leaving not a trace of blood behind.


    "I''ll send you to the Ruler of Hell with a trick!" Lilly muttered to herself.


    Cloud remained speechless, his mind overwhelmed by the surreal turn of events.
