Chapter 409 Edification from Dad
Lilly raised her hand and flung the stone she was holding! Chris sneered, taking satisfaction in his accurate
prediction and attributing it all to mere luck. Observing the direction of her throw, it was off! ite remained standing,
perplexed by what had just happened. However, the stone struck the tree behind him with astonishing precision the
next moment. It ricocheted off and delivered a solid thud on the back of hik head!
Chris exclaimed, “What?! How was this even possible?le groaned as he fell to the ground. Before he could crawl
away to escape, a foot clail in leather bootsressed him down.
Blake laughed derisively, his eyes glinting coldly. “Run you can. Keep going”
Chris, unwilling to admit defeat, hastily placed several lastily drawn talismans on Blake’s body. However, to his
dismay, a golden light shimmered from Blake’s ure, instantly incinerating the talisman. It’s an amulet! The amulet
protected him from top to toe.
Chris clenched his teeth in hatred-Who exactly is behind these people?! It did not seem reasonable that they could
use the talismans in such numbers. He locked his gaze onto Blake and spoke sinisterly, “The world is ever-changing,
with fortunes rising and falling We’ll wait and see!”
Blake retorted, “Do you still have a chance to come ou Familiarize yourself with a life sentence.”
Chris maintained a stoic silence, his only response a dlainful snort. He could successfully escape or not rely solely
on his own abilities. After all, if a person coudn’t escape, what about the soul? He had long anticipated that he
would be the target, so he had already prepared an exit strategy. A faint, cold smirk appeared at the corners of his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmouth as he closed his eyes, refusing to utter another word.
A soft voice suddenly arose, “Mister, let me calculate for you. In this lifetime, you’ll have no worries about food and
clothing. You’ll even be adorned in a yellow be, not to mention the splendid bracelets and ankle chains! No more
toiling and running around.”
Blake raised an eyebrow, unsurprised. Chris would undoubtedly be sent to Obsidian prison, where the prison
uniform happened to be a yellow robe. Chris disregarded it, opting instead to shut his eyes and emanate an
indomitable aura.
Pablo crossed his arms, his expression devoid of emotion. “Stealing souls right under the eyes of the Ruler of Hell-
truly audacious.” He continued, “Tulip, give him a taste and cut off his escape route! You’ve been using the
containment spirit net until now, but this time, let me teach you something new-a lesson from
Dad.”
Lilly stood there, momentarily baffled. “What? A lesson from Dad?”
She glanced at her father in a puzzled manner, who was summoning Uncle Davenport and Uncle Arthur to come
and capture someone. Lilly looked back at Pablo.
Pablo explained, “This spell can obstruct the target’s path and prevent their soul from escaping.” But wasn’t it
about soul-swapping? Instead, he directly sealed him off, so he couldn’t engage in these dubious practices. His
extraordinary and unique talent would alo be subdued, preventing him from ever engaging in nefarious deeds
again. This effectively marked the end of his career in this domain, hence why this spell was dubbed the “Career
Cut.” However, Pablo found the name to be overly grave and believed it would be difficult for children to remember.
His name was better, simpler to grasp, and casier to remember.
He continued, “This talisman works on the same principle as the containment spirit net. The containment spirit net
restrains spirits, while Dad’s teachings restrain the human soul, just like when we recite with the
1/2
master…” His expression turned serious as he raised his hand. Lilly quickly stood upright, imitating him by raising
her hand.
Pablo took a deep breath, his gaze intense, and abruptly slapped Chris with his palm, commanding, “Call
Dad!”
Lilly followed suit, focusing as she slapped her hand a exclaimed, “Call Dad!”
Blake smirked. “Call Grandpa.”
Chris was perplexed. Was he going mad? Why subject him to insults when they could simply arrest him?
Both Layton and Arthur twitched at the corners of the mouths. The head of the McNeil family indeed spoiled the
young missy.
Chris was locked away, suppressing his bitterness. He had no idea that the slap Lilly delivered had closed off all his
avenues of escape. His mind raced, still pondering how to draw a talisman while in prison, complete the ritual, and
then successfully switch to another body, all without being detected and escaping unnoticed. Little did Chris know
that once he realized he would be imprisoned indefinitely, with no escape or tricks left, would he regret it. Especially
considering he still had billions in savings and scattered villas throughout the country. Now that he was destined for
prison, everything would be in vain. The two most tragic things in a person’s life are: being alive without money and

gone.
As Chris was being escorted away, Lilly experienced anewed sense of accomplishment. It all started from Uncle
Bryson encountering the ghost bride in the haunted house, to the point where Uncle Bryson became attached to
the soul puppet. And now, she caught the big bad guy! Oh, wait, it was Dad!
Lilly clung to Blake’s leg and showered him with praise. “Dad is amazing! Dad is the best in the whole world!”
He glanced at her and chuckled, “Alright, enough of that. What flavor of ice cream do you want?” No need for
excessive compliments. Even in the midst of a chaotic situation, he would deliver the ice cream directly to her.
Lilly happily raised her hand, “I want strawberry flavor! Father and daughter held hands as they walked out of the
woods.
She swung Blake’s large hand, joyfully saying, “Dad, Master just taught me a new skill! It’s amazing!”
Blake suddenly paused, and as expected, he heard her continue, “This skill is called Dad’s Teaching! With at slap on
the bad guy, his soul gets locked inside his body, and he can never do bad things again. Isn’t it super cool?”
Observing the enthusiastic child with rosy cheeks, he couldn’t help but curl his lips. So, her mentor was also
unreliable?
Pablo muttered on the side, “What so amazing about if It’s just ice cream.”
At that moment, one of his subordinates hurried over and whispered, “Mr. MacNeil, that bald guy suddenly rolled his
eyes…”
