Chapter 573 Daddy’s Worried
Cloud soon understood why Lilly had warned him.
Once he was done with his meal, Cloud sat back, satisfied, and said, "I''m full."
However, Bettany raised her hand and picked up a piece of pork for him, saying, "The pork is
especially delicious today. You should have another one."
Cloud thought to himself, "Why not? Having another piece won''t hurt."
Even though he was feeling a bit stuffed, the pork was truly irresistible!
After eating the extra piece of pork, Bettany slid a half-filled bowl of abalone-topped noodles toward
him, exining, "This was originally meant for Lilly, but she couldn''t finish it after having the other
dishes. You should have it!"
Cloud patted his belly.
Well, why not? The abalone-topped noodles looked delicious!
Finally finishing half a bowl of noodles, he was genuinely full.
But then, Bettany prepared a bowl of soup and ced it in front of Cloud, suggesting, "After eating so
much, let''s have some soup! This chicken soup with mushrooms is light and refreshing."
Cloud thought it made sense. Despite feeling full, he had too much food and wanted to cleanse his
pte with some soup.
After sipping the soup…
Bettany eximed, "Have some fruit. I''m sure you''re usually busy with work and don''t eat well, right?
You''ve lost weight!"
Cloud felt a pang of guilt. He didn''t want to make his mother worry, so he agreed and continued eating.
After finishing the fruit…
Bettany added, "This is the yogurt I bought for Lilly, have it as dessert so it''ll help with digestion."
Cloud sighed internally. Lilly''s... curiosity got the best of him, so he decided to give it a taste.
After eating the yogurt…
Bettany checked the time and said, "It''s almost nine o''clock... Let''s have a light supper. Margaret
prepared roasted oysters."
Cloud, with a perplexed expression, was silent.
After consuming the oysters…
"Now, let''s have some sour plum soup to cool down from the barbecue," Bettany suggested.
Cloud, feeling overwhelmed, could understand why his brothers fled the scene faster than ghosts.
As hey down, he found it difficult to turn over, stretching his limbs and gazing at the ceiling.
He thought of the amount of food he ate throughout the day.
Amid his thoughts, he considered joining ke and Lilly for an outing the next day. After all, ke was
on vacation, and Cloud realized the importance of spending time with his elderly parents, who were
growing older with each passing day.
The following day, after breakfast, Cloud changed his mind.
I''ll go out with Lilly!
His stomach could not handle too much of his mother''s "love" anymore.
His mother was apanied by Hugh, Lilly, and along with his other brothers. It was more than
enough.
So, Cloud followed Lilly and ke as if he was escaping for his life.
As Cloud drive, he asked, "We''re heading to Ecruteak? Why did you wanna go there all of a sudden?"
ke reclined on the seat, cing one hand on the backrest, andzily responded, "You won''t want to
know."
Cloud did not take things too seriously as he had been through a lot. He even saw ghosts, what else
could he not handle?
Lilly eximed, "Uncle Cloud, we''re going to capture King Libra!"
Cloud thought to himself…
Is that all?
King Libra, as Lilly and Anthony had mentioned before, was on Cloud''s radar. Although he knew he
could not help much, after encountering ghosts for a week, encountering King Libra excited him.
Josh and Zachary, the twobat power analysts, did not tag along this time. King Libra was immortal,
so they stayed at home to be safe and to avoid any potential harm to their teachers and ssmates if
they were to attend school.
ke, Cloud, and Lilly drove to the airport, parked their cars, and boarded a ne to Ecruteak.
ke examined the map and then took out his phone, saying, "This is the Temple of Light, it''s located
in the scenic area of Xignas."
He continued, "This is Temple of Wind, a popr tourist spot in Yara. Many tourists pray there."
Pointing to another location on the map, ke added, "And this is the Temple of Mercy, situated in
Zimmerton within a scenic area. It''s worth mentioning that there''s a ginkgo tree there as well."
When they were uncertain about something, findingmon ground was often the most basic
approach.
Whether it was an ordinary person or a criminal, everyone had their hobbies. For instance, people who
prefer peace tend to choose a corner by the window when visiting a coffee shop.
Lilly pointed at the Temple of Mercy and said, "Daddy, let''s go here."
ke nodded, "Okay."
Carrying arge bag, ke had already booked a hotel nearby. He opened the bag and said, "I packed
clothes of different styles so we could disguise them. Here''s a wig, and here''s a hat."
Lilly chimed in, "Daddy, I have a camouge talisman."
ke was taken aback and wondered…
Does such a thing exist?
"We won''t need talismans to disguise ourselves this time because talismans are associated with spells,
which could easily attract King Libra''s attention," ke exined.
"Think about it, so many people are ordinary, but the moment we appear, our aura gives us away."
Lilly suddenly understood, eximing, "That''s right! Why didn''t I think of that? Daddy, you''re so smart!"
ke, basking in the praise from his daughter, smirked and replied, "Whose Daddy is smart?"
Lilly''s eyes sparkled as he proudly proimed, "My Daddy!"

Cloud twitched his mouth.
ke''s eyes gleamed with a smile as he responded, "Mhm!"
Cloud remained silent.
The three of them proceeded to wear their disguises.
Cloud was no stranger to this process. He often disguised himself with limited resources. Plus, ke
was better than him, making the task even easier.
After a short while, Cloud appeared as an ordinary young man in his early twenties, radiating a sunny
and cheerful aura. His personality seemed to align with his fake appearance.
Lilly could not help but feel that Cloud''s mannerisms were almost the same as Michael''s.
Being professional meant that she should also mimic a young boy''s behavior.
Lilly was dressed in boy''s clothing and wearing a cool ck cap, she thought of how to disguise her
voice. However, children''s voices were often simr, so there was no need to worry too much.
Who should she imitate?
Lilly shifted her gaze and suddenly remembered the boy who had given him candies upon their first
meeting...Ivan.
"Let''s go," Lilly dered, slipping his hands into her pockets and speaking in a t, almost cold tone.
Cloud was taken aback, and even ke could not help but raise an eyebrow.
Lilly furrowed his brows, demanding, "What? Aren''t we leaving?"
The two professional yers exchanged nces, momentarily at a loss for words.
As ke thought of who Lilly was imitating, he felt that it was familiar. After careful consideration, he
realized that this version of Lilly resembled the little cub...Ivan!
Lilly had unexpectedly learned from Ivan as well!
Should he mention it or not? It was quite a drastic change in temperament, transitioning Lilly from a
cute girl to a mischievous child who caused trouble.
Just as ke was mulling over these thoughts, Lilly looked up and shed a wide smile, asking, "What
do you think, Daddy? Did I do great?"
In an instant, Lilly transformed back into her usual self.
Cloud could not help but feel that all his years of training had been wasted.
ke, on the other hand, could not shake the feeling that his little cub was about to be swayed by the
wolf cub.
As they headed out and got into the car bound for Xignas, ke''s mind continued to wander…
Lilly has three brothers at home, why did she choose to learn from Ivan?
When did she be so close with that little cub?
