Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Chapter 214 Zachary Is A Different Boy

The couple was staring right at the illegal cabbie from the back seat. They appeared lifeless and pale,

as if they had been dead for a very long time. That’s right, they looked like they had been corpses for a

very long time.

The illegal cabbie suddenly remembered the spot where he picked them up. It was somewhere nearby

the unfinished building on Cypress Street. There was no business operating there at night, nor were

there bars, KTVs, or nightclubs.

He stepped on the brakes hard. The car came to a halt with a squeak.

Mr. Ghost turned his eyes around dully and peered out from the window. He asked, “Why did you

suddenly stop the car?”

The illegal cabbie’s back was soaked in a cold sweat. He stuttered, “The traffic light…”

Mrs. Ghost looked puzzled. Traffic lights? We are a long way from the intersection.

“Sigh, have we been dead for such a long time that our eyes no longer work?” Mrs. Ghost muttered in a

low voice.

Mr. Ghost leaned in considerately. He offered, “Let me take a look for

you.”

Mrs. Ghost dug out her eyeballs and handed them to him.

The two of them leaned in very close in the back seat. They purposely did this covertly to hide from the

illegal cabbie’s sight.

The illegal cabbie was appalled. The rearview mirror did not allow him to see what the two were doing.

He had,nonetheless, placed some illegal equipment inside the vehicle. He covertly placed a tiny

camera in the backseat.

Sometimes, when he picked up a pretty girl or a girl in a short skirt, he could spy on them through his

phone. He just needed to click on his phone to take pictures or videos. He shared these amazing views

with other like–minded illegal cab drivers daily in a group chat they had. This used to be a cause for

celebration and excitement. It had now turned into his nightmare.

The footage clearly showed the woman gouging out her eyeballs. While the man carefully wiped them

and helped her put them back.

The illegal cab driver felt as though he had fallen into the water because his body was completely

drenched in sweat. While his face was dripping with sweat.

At this point, the woman craned her neck and asked, “Why has the traffic light turned red for such a

long time?”

The illegal cabbie stammered, “Hmm…hmm…actually, I think my car has broken down.”

Mr. Ghost could not help but frown. What a lousy car!

Mrs. Ghost was alright with this. She took a look around and said, “We’re not far from the Cherry Inn;

let’s walk!”

Mr. Ghost nodded and handed five banknotes to the illegal cabbie.

The illegal cabbie quavered for the first time as he collected the fare from his customers.

After exiting the vehicle, the couple started to slowly move forward. The cabbie noticed that they were

not walking normally and were instead floating when he gave them a closer look.

The illegal cabbie looked at the money he held in his trembling hands. Sure enough, it was the

currency of the underworld.

“My…my goodness…”

The illegal driver had no idea how he got home. He later fell ill and no longer dared to drive an illegal

cab. He also burned the camera in the back seat and left the group chat, which shared lewd videos. He

was disillusioned and lived every day in fear.

Of course, all of these were afterthoughts.

The day before Lilly left, she dug a hole under the large stone monument between the two buildings of

the Cherry Inn and placed an obol in it.

Zachary asked, “What is this?”

Lilly replied, “This coin could suppress the vanity aura here. Fewer people will jump off the buildings.”

Obols were used to pacify spirits. She had engraved this particular obol with a charm that was taught

by her master. There were far too many shadow ghosts in this place, each with their own fate. If she

were to vanquish all of the shadow ghosts, her jar of souls would be filled, right?

Lilly doubted this was a good idea. At least, after she buried this obol, even if someone jumped off the

building, their souls would not be trapped there, and their spirits would not be enslaved by other ghosts.

Zachary asked, “Aren’t you afraid someone will dig it up?”

Lilly answered confidently, “They won’t.”

Zachary probed, puzzled, “Why not?”

Lilly answered flatly, “If I said it won’t happen, then it won’t happen. Zac, you wouldn’t understand any

of this.”

Zachary was stunned.

Lilly clapped and dusted off the dirt from her pants. She pulled the suitcase out and announced,

energized, “Let’s go! It’s time to go home!”

Zachary pursed his lips. He carried the suitcase and trailed quietly.

Back in the Crawford Mansion in Clodston City

Bettany had been waiting for the children to return before the mansion gate for a while. She wondered

worriedly, “Why haven’t they arrived yet? I already told you all I didn’t want the two to travel alone.

What if those kids run into trouble? Especially Zachary, the rascal is likely still engrossed in his game

when his

sister gets taken away.”

Anthony and Blake both remained silent. They had only been waiting for two minutes, but their mother

had chastised them twice.

At this time, a car drove up to the Crawford mansion.

Zachary was the first to get out of the vehicle. Then he quickly ran to the other side, opened the door,

and reached out to his sister. Lilly grunted and jumped into her brother’s arms.

Zachary hurriedly put her down. He complained, “You’re so heavy! You need to eat less!”

He quickly

ran to the car trunk to grab the suitcases. Zachary pulled the suitcase out and carried a bunch of bags

on his arm. He was even holding a bottle of milk that Lilly had consumed half of, along with a cupcake

that was only partially eaten.

Zachary asked, “Are you still hungry? Hang on a little longer; Granny must have prepared a meal for us

by

now.”

Bettany and Edward wore the same shocked expression on their faces. Both of them were baffled.

Edward asked puzzledly, “Is this boy, Zachary?”

Could Zachary be possessed by a ghost?

Bettany was also taken aback. This boy just went on a trip with Lilly for two days, but he returned as a

changed person? He was no longer engrossed in his games and actively took care of his sister.

“Did this child go through some kind of shock?” Bettany muttered.

Blake smirked. Things were exactly as Bettany put it.

Lilly dashed over and threw herself into Bettany’s arms. She exclaimed, “Granny!”

Blake was gobsmacked. Well, today is another day for her to ignore me.

Fortunately, after Lilly hugged Bettany, she jumped into Blake’s arms. Then she hugged Anthony and

Edward. After she entered the house, Hugh, Josh, and Drake–even Polly and Mr. Tortoise–received a

hug from her. Lilly gave her affection away evenly, not missing a single family member.

Bettany said kindly, “Let’s eat!”

She took out Lilly’s favorite dish, shrimp de jonghe, from the food warmer.

Hugh wore his usual stern expression and asked, “How was your trip to South City?”

Hugh thought inwardly. These two insisted on making a trip and experiencing life for no good reason,

They were so young; what sort of life experiences could they gain from a two–day trip? Is this trip going

to change Zachary?

Hugh sulked as he watched Zachary pull the shrimp toward himself.

See, the little rascal is still the same.

Just as Hugh was about to scold him, he saw Zachary start to peel the shrimp and put the shrimp meat

into Lilly’s bowl. Zachary even talked back to him, “Nothing special, just a typical trip! You should go out

and travel sometime!”

The boy still had the sime annoying demeanor. While he peeled shrimp for Lilly, he complained, “You

already ate so much food; are you still hungry? You’ll get fat at this rate.”

He grumbled, but the motion of where he peeled the shrimp never stopped for a moment.
