Chapter 688
Spoiled (Lily)
Chapter 688 Vision of the Future: She Had Seen This Old Man Max looked at the small Hell Ruler Palace pendant in astonishment, his mind racing with scientific conjectures:
This is just a high-tech âfolded space,â a product of advanced civilization from the futureâ¦
Scientifically, this concept is called space foldingâ¦.
Space folding is a phenomenon where space is distorted due to powerful gravitational forcesâ¦
This phenomenon is indeed real, and theoretically, if enough gravitational force is achieved, bentâ¦
space can be Itâs like walking from one end of a flat piece of paper to the other; besides walking in a straight line between two points, you can also fold the paper, bringing the two points closer and directly passing throughâ¦.
Blah blah blahâ¦.
The more Max thought, the more chaotic his mind became, and he gave up, lying flat on the ground, declaring. I donât want to think about it anymore!
âWow⦠amazing!â Max imitated Blake, unable to comprehend the situation, so he resorted to praise.
Lilly smiled with her eyes curved, âOf course!â
âQuick, Drake, Josh, Zac, Hannah, letâs go change clothes and eat!â Lilly exclaimed.
Lilly ran back to her room to change clothes, urging Josh, Drake, Zachary, and Hannah, who were still standing there in a daze.
Zachary quickly took out a notebook from his pocket:
Hell Ruler Palace: Folded space function, accommodating everythingâ¦
Blake ran back, and as soon as he entered, he noticed everyone standing there dumbfounded. He asked curiously, âWhatâs wrong? Did you see a ghost this early in the morning?â
He held two buns in his hand and handed one to Max. saying. âHere, Max, have some!â
Max snapped out of his daze in an instant.
You scoundrel!
He sighed and said, âNo thanks, later Iâll take Lilly out to have cream soup and creamy bacon carbonara.â
Blake nodded, âSounds good, Iâm hungry too.â
Max was speechless.
Whatâs wrong with him? He buys two buns to appease him, but he plans to take Lilly out for a fancy meal himself?
Suddenly, a flicker flashed in Maxâs eyes. He wanted to give his employees paid leave and was about to transfer a large sum of money from his savings account.
Vision of the Future: She Had Seen This Old Man âBlake,â Max smiled, squinting his eyes, âDo you have any money?â
Blake felt pleased and checked to see how Lilly was doing while saying. âOf course, more than your real brother.â
Max replied, âI donât believe you. Youâre just showing off with my brotherâs money.
Blake was speechless, âWho said that? The helicopter is mine, and so is the personnel.
This time, he didnât use a single cent from Anthony.
He just borrowed his name for a while.
Max said, âI heard that you only spend my brotherâs money when youâre doing charity.â
Blake chuckled, âThatâs for accumulating good karma for your brother.
Max continued, âEven buying pants, you use my brotherâs money.â
Blake responded, âWhen did I do that?â
Max said, âWhen you bought matching outfits with Lilly, you conveniently paid for it.â
Blake was relatively speechless.
Unable to reason with him, Blake picked up his water glass, ignored Max, and took a sip.
But Max stared at him and said, âDid you fall for my sister and start eyeing my brother?â
Blake spits out a mouthful of water at Maxâs wordsâ¦
âI fell for you,â Blake glared, âWhy donât you mention that?â
This time, it was Maxâs turn to be speechless.
You shameless bandit leaderâ¦.
âIsnât it just about money?â Blake said irritably, âYou think these petty tricks can work on me.â
He took out his phone and said, âTell me, how much do you need?â
Max grinned, âYouâre not going to use my brotherâs card again, are you?â
Blake rolled his eyes, âItâs my card!â
Max stretched his neck to take a look, making sure it was his card, and immediately said, âNot much, I want to pay my employeesâ salaries. I donât have that much money at hand, so give me a billion first.â
Blake fell silent.
First?
So heâs going to ask for more later?
Do you want to listen to what you just said?
Vision of the Future: She Had Seen This Old Man âWhat kind of salary can cost a billion?â Blake was speechless, âThatâs the dowry for your nieceâs marriage, and you have the nerve to ask for it.â
Max replied, âAnyway, you can earn more. Your business is much broader than my brotherâs, yet he has to support you. Youâve set your sights on my brother.â
Blake said, âShut up.â
He quickly transferred the money, truly afraid of him.
Stacy immediately reported, âDing! Master, your card ending in 886 has received a deposit. One billion⦠Wow, Master, you look so handsome when you make money!â
Blake fell silent.
Max shouted, âThanks, boss!â
Seeing Lilly dressed and coming out, he laughed and went up to lift Lilly, saying, âLetâs go! I just made a lot of money, and Iâll take you to eat something delicious!â
âJosh, Drake!â
Zac, Hannah!â
âHurry up, good food doesnât wait for anyone.â
Max, feeling rich, swaggered out with a group of little rascals in tow.
Blake grumbled and followed with the keys.
But when they arrived at their destinationâ¦.
His lips twitched incessantly as he looked at the restaurant in front of him.
The restaurant was on the third floor, with the entire floor being open, surrounded by bright floor-to-
ceiling windows.
The place was bustling with crowds, and almost all the tables were occupied.
Max had reserved a table and sat amidst the noisy crowd with a bunch of kids chattering and chirping.
With all that money, he couldnât bear to go to a more upscale five-star restaurant?
Max said, âYou donât understand. The taste of the masses never deceives. The most authentic food is often found in places like this.â
Blake sat down confidently, and the dishes arrived quickly. Soon, the table was filled with breakfast, and Lilly and the kids enjoyed the food, their eyes shining.
He took a bite⦠it was indeed good.
After eating and drinking their fillâ¦.
Lilly stretched lazily and said, âMmm⦠Iâm full! Itâs time to go to work!â
Max chuckled, âWhat work are you going to do?â
Vision of the Future: She Had Seen This Old Man Lilly said. âCatch ghostsââ
Max choked, âWhere where are you going?â
Lilly took Maxâs hand and ran, saying. âLetâs go find your good friend, Darwin.â
Max didnât understand, but seeing that Lilly wasnât joking, he didnât ask any further.
As the car drove on the road to a high-end neighborhood, Lilly looked at the scenery outside the window humming a song. Suddenly, she stopped.
On the other side of the street, there was an elderly person huddled, trembling, walking with difficulty, their back stoopedâ¦..
The car was moving fast, and Lilly quickly leaned against the window, watching the elderly person becoming smaller and smallerâ¦..
Her smile faded from her face.
This old woman, she had seen him before.
That day, when she used the pen of judgment, apart from seeing another world, she also saw this old woman in front of herâ¦.
The old woman was wrapped in a thin layer of plastic film to shield herself from the rain. The plastic film was short, only covering his upper body. She trembled and stumbled, struggling to walk amid the typhoon. She huddled his body, every step being extremely difficultâ¦
Lilly was stunned, only now vaguely understanding⦠she had foreseen the present moment a week ago. with the pen of judgment, a fleeting image outside the car window.
Foreknowledge�
The pen of judgment could foresee?
Blake followed her gaze, asking, âLilly, whatâs wrong?â
Lilly looked out the window, the old woman had already disappeared from the scene, and the swaying scenery of trees in the typhoon had a sense of familiarity.
âNothing⦠Daddy.â Lilly shook her head, but the shadow of that old woman lingered in her mind.
