Chapter 573 Daddy’s Worried Cloud soon understood why Lilly had warned him.
Once he was done with his meal, Cloud sat back, satistiest, 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 bow! of abalone-topped noodles toward him. explaining. 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 placed 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 palate with some soup.
After sipping the soup....
Bettany exclaimed, “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 | 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.

“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.
He thought of the amount of food he ate throughout the day.
Amid his thoughts, he considered joining Blake and Lilly for an outing the next day. After all, Blake 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 accompanied by Hugh, Lilly, and along with his other brothers. It was more than enough.
So, Cloud followed Lilly and Blake 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?” Blake reclined on the seat, placing one hand on the backrest, and lazily 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 exclaimed. “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 two combat 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 classmates if they were to attend school.
Blake, Cloud, and Lilly drove to the airport, parked their cars, and boarded a plane to Ecruteak.
Blake 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 popular tourist spot in Yara. Many tourists pray there.” Pointing to another location on the map, Blake 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, finding common 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.” Blake nodded, “Okay.” Carrying a large bag, Blake 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, | have a camouflage talisman.
Blake 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,” Blake explained.
“Think about it, so many people are ordinary, but the moment we appear, our aura gives us away.” Lilly suddenly understood, exclaiming, “That's right! Why didn’t | think of that? Daddy, you're so smart!” Blake, basking in the praise from his daughter, smirked and replied, “Whose Daddy is smart?” Lilly's eyes sparkled as he proudly proclaimed, “My Daddy!” Cloud twitched his mouth.
Blake'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, Blake was better than him, making the task even easier.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter 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 black cap, she thought of how to disguise her voice. However, children’s voices were often similar, 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...lvan.
“Let's go,” Lilly declared, slipping his hands into her pockets and speaking in a flat, almost cold tone.
Cloud was taken aback, and even Blake could not help but raise an eyebrow.
Lilly furrowed his brows, demanding, “What? Aren't we leaving?” The two professional players exchanged glances, momentarily at a loss for words.
As Blake 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...lvan! 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 Blake was mulling over these thoughts, Lilly looked up and flashed a wide smile, asking. “What do you think, Daddy? Did | 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.
Blake, 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, Blake’s mind continued to wander...
Lilly has three brothers at home, why did she choose to learn from Ivan? When did she become so close with that little cub?
