Chapter 318

Chapter 318 Learning Something Bad From Hannah Olivine Temple Square was shrouded in ominous clouds, making the sky even darker than before.

Suddenly, some individuals wearing kimonos began to scream in terror. It appeared as though they were witnessing something dreadful. Their faces were filled with panic, and some even fell to their knees, clutching their heads in distress.

Unseen by others, these individuals were confronted by apparitions of their ancestors, who appeared furious and resorted to physically punishing them.

“How could you forget the nation I tirelessly fought to protect?!”

“They killed your grandfather, and yet you still worship them as your ancestors!”

“I’ll need to give you a beating so you’ll remember why it hurt so much!”

Those individuals clad in kimonos and clogs were subjected to such severe beatings that their clogs went flying. They screamed and pleaded for mercy, consumed by terror.

Most people who did not see the ghosts were puzzled.

They didn’t know why, so they saw the different phases of lightning, thunder, rainbow, and sunset in the same frame, and saw several people kneeling begging for mercy with terrified faces, and they were even more frightened in their hearts.

“What happened…….”

“What is that red iron pillar they pulled out…”

“It’s so strange. As soon as the iron pillar was pulled down, a bolt of lightning struck down,”

“Could it be… Is what the little girl said earlier true? That today wasn’t an exhibition after all, but was a sacrificial ritual?” Someone voiced their doubts, uncertain about the reality of the situation.

However, some individuals were bleeding and crying, exclaiming, “Even if that’s the case, should we just forget about the dolls we destroyed?”

The ash dolls held a special place in their hearts, not to mention the significant monetary value associated with each doll. The thought of losing them was distressing and heartbreaking.

Even if it’s not worth five million like Quinnie’s Coco, it’s still worth one hundred and eighty thousand.

How could she not be responsible just because she was a sacrifice for the ritual?

While she was crying, she noticed Blake and the others emerging from the scene.

Blake held Lilly in his arms with Josh. Drake, the knowledge enthusiast, walked alongside them with a grave expression, his thoughts veiled and unknown.

Anthony was on the phone and caught snippets of conversation about “compensation.”

As he walked near the sacrificial shrine, he kicked it, causing it to shatter.

His foot landed on the broken remains of a few ash dolls and their owners cried even harder as if they had lost a beloved child.

Lilly covered her cars and shouted, “Stop crying! I… I’ll pay for the damages!”

She only destroyed the dolls because they were a part of the satanic ritual.

Uncle Anthony said one should be responsible for their actions.

Lilly, with a distressed expression, retrieved a red envelope from her satchel. She wondered if the money inside would be enough to cover the damages.

The hard–earned money was slipping away before she could even enjoy it, and Lilly felt a tinge of sadness. in her heart.

Amused by her bleeding expression, Anthony could not help but find it funny, while Blake found Lilly incredibly adorable and could not resist pinching her cheek.

“Keep your money, your Uncle Anthony will compensate them,” Blake assured her.

Anthony froze.

I treat you as my brother–in–law, but you treat me as a fool?

Blake jokingly assured Lilly, “Don’t worry, your uncle is not only handsome and rich but also quite generous, especially when it comes to paying money.”

The handsome and rich Anthony was speechless.

Anthony could not argue with him but to compensate them.

Anthony glanced at the tearful girls and could not help but wonder if the event organizers had intentionally dressed them in kimonos of different colors.

With a stern tone, he asserted, “Rest assured, we will take full responsibility for the damages caused by our group. My assistant will be here shortly to discuss the compensation with each of you individually.”

Anthony wanted to ensure that Lilly would not be burdened by it.

It’s just money.

After discovering Lilly’s ability to catch ghosts, Anthony couldn’t help but think that these doll enthusiasts would face the consequences they deserved.

The girls whose dolls were broken had mixed reactions. Some were stunned, while a few of them appeared to be genuinely pleased.

It seemed that they did not care about sacrifices and national luck.

The doll owners had invested real money into making those dolls, and they were determined to retrieve their compensation. They had already formulated plans beforehand. If the child’s parents refused to pay, they were prepared to escalate the situation and take legal action. They had no qualms about pursuing their rights in court.

After some time, Charlie arrived with the money and handed it over immediately. However, Quinnie refused to accept it and simply cast a meaningful glance at Lilly.

Quinnie had just received a call from the police.

Quinnie was informed that all her dolls under the brand Spring Friends were implicated in the theft of ashes for making dolls and were going to be recalled.

It was a shocking revelation for her to realize that she had been sleeping in a room filled with such dolls. for years.

She genuinely liked dolls. Her mind was overwhelmed with complex thoughts, and she struggled to find the right words to express herself.

Quinnie stepped forward and expressed her sincere gratitude to Lilly in a solemn manner. She then hurriedly returned to the set and left.

The girls who had received their compensation also departed, wearing smiles on their faces. Finally, the deceptive doll exhibition, which had disguised itself as something else, came to an end.

Lilly learned from his father that the event organizer behind the scenes had been detained for questioning, and it was uncertain how long the interrogation would last or if they would ever be released.

As for the girls who took the compensation but had their dolls broken, unfortunate incidents started befalling them.

Some suddenly developed high fevers and fell seriously ill after returning home. Others encountered car accidents on their way back, resulting in traumatizing experiences, although they survived.

Upon returning home, others experienced strange occurrences that made them feel unsettled. The doors would inexplicably open during their sleep at night, and the bathroom faucet would turn on by itself in the middle of the night.

At times, upon waking up, they would find the doll they had placed in a box lying on their bedside….

Only then did they realize the sacrificial ritual Lilly had mentioned, and they cried out to their parents, begging them to ask about any possible connections and desperately seeking out Lilly’s help to resolve the situation.

However, it was already too late. Lilly was not someone they could simply find at will. They searched, feeling like headless chickens, but their efforts only led to further deception. The compensation they had received would soon be gone, leaving them with regret and a sense of loss.

The Summer Doll Exhibition became a trending topic for insulting ancestors, capturing widespread attention.

Alongside this, the incident involving a group of children and a priest disrupting the ritual aimed at stealing the country’s fortune also gained significant publicity.

With the widespread presence of internet users, it was natural for many to doubt the significance of a few children’s actions. Instead, they attributed the disruption of the ceremony to a city–dwelling priest and his young apprentices.

Blake, in particular, found himself living his dream of becoming a priest and emerged as the most formidable figure among them.

People were making memes about that incident.

“Is it still too late to take me in as your apprentice?”

“I asked the master about the weather that day but he told me to believe in science, Can you please teach me? I’m willing to learn!”

“Master said he believed in science and flew away with his sword…”

Listening to Josh reading these comments, Lilly’s eyes lit up, and he said happily, “My Daddy is powerful!”

In the past, he fought hard and toppled walls.

Now he was even more powerful, and he could pull out the spirit nail with her.

How could that be someone else’s dad? Impossible!

Lilly, despite knowing that her father was not a practitioner, still believed in his immense power.

Blake gazed at her with tenderness, his heart melting at her unwavering faith in him, super However, there were moments when Lilly could be a bit careless. For instance, when Bettany discovered that Blake had taught her something mischievous, she would give him a good hard hit. No one could rival the warmth and affection that Lilly possessed.

Lilly thought of something and asked, “By the way, Master, you mentioned yesterday that Grace is not human?”

Pablo’s mouth twitched slightly as he responded, “What I meant was that she is not an ordinary.

individual…

Lilly waved her hand like Hannah and said, “Whatever, they’re the same,”

Pablo was speechless.

Lilly, you can’t ignore the word “Ordinary…
