Chapter 400: Chapter 399

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. Blake returned, but without his usual air of confidence.

“What’s the matter, Daddy?” asked Lilly, concerned.

Blake 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 Blake up.

“So were you saying just now?” asked Blake.

Lilly then recited the conversation she had with Pablo to Blake. As Blake listened to their hypothesis, a name appeared in Blake’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,” explained Blake. “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 Blake put it that way.

“Isn’t it too much of a coincidence then? Chris was there when Zac was heading to the Palace 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!” complimented Blake proudly.

As the group laughed, Lilly’s mobile watch buzzed.

“Quinnic 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 lef 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 cannot come right away. L…..”

Quinnie knew there were better people to call for help. But somehow, she felt that calling Lilly was the 1 right thing to do. After learning the situation, Blake 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.” Blake spoke to the locksmith.

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