Chapter 833

Alban, the villain with an unapologetic demeanor, did not bother to hide his true nature.

Lilly seethed with anger at his audacity.

Her fists clenched tightly as she shouted, “You… you bad guy!”

Alban let out a sigh and responded mockingly, “Of course, you wouldn’t care if the matter didn’t concern you.”

Judging by the way she looked at him, she saw him as a villain.

But it did not matter. In his eyes, those who were associated with Ivan were also villains.

He lived with a broad mindset, doing what he had to do to ensure his survival.

From Ivan’s perspective, it was only natural for this little girl to view him as a bad person.

But what about from his perspective?

They were the bad guys too.

He was merely fighting for his own life, and yet they accused him.

Alban’s face remained expressionless. Initially, he had wanted to ask her about the soul flower, but then he realized… they were his enemies, so there was no point in asking.

They would never tell him.

“I shared this with you so that you’d know the truth, so don’t hold a grudge against me.”

“I generally don’t go out of my way to provoke others. If you don’t plot against me, I won’t plot against you. You go your way, and I’ll go mine.”

After his statement, Alban turned and walked away once again.

If he were to reveal the truth to them, they would still blame him for it.

They were quite self-centered.

Even if they crossed paths again in the future, he would not feel any burden in striking against them.

Suddenly, Lilly grabbed his arm, gritting her teeth as she asked, “Where is Ghost Abyss?”

If possible, she genuinely wanted to tear him apart.

However…

Alban gazed at her coldly and demanded, “Let go!”

Tia forcefully kicked the back of Lilly’s hand and exclaimed, “My brother told you to let go, so let him go!”

Hmph, she had just boasted about her amazing brother.

It was her brother who had emerged victorious!

How dare she hold onto her brother? She deserved to be kicked!

Lilly’s hand turned red from the impact, leaving her no choice but to release her grip.

Alban held Tia tightly, his face still icy, and his thoughts unclear.

Tia clung to his neck and asked cheerfully, “Alban, are we walking home today again?”

Alban snapped back to reality and responded with a grunt, “Have you been a good girl in Kindergarten, Tia?”

Tia nodded, saying, “Yes, I’ve been good! Alban, when are we going to buy a car? I want to go home in a car so that you don’t have to carry me.”

Alban cracked a smile and replied, “Why? Don’t you want me to carry you?”

Tia pouted, saying, “Because you’ll get tired, but if we have a car, you won’t get tired anymore.”

Alban gently patted her head, soothing her, “I’ll buy a car when I grow up. Right now, I’m not old enough to get a driver’s license.”

Tia questioned, “What’s a driver’s license?”

As they walked, Alban answered her question in a soft voice.

Tia continued to ask numerous questions, and Alban, who had been indifferent towards Lilly, patiently answered each one.

They walked for quite some time before finally arriving home. Alban was now covered in a thin layer of sweat.

Their family consisted only of themselves, and the house was fairly small, featuring two bedrooms and one living room.

While Tia was playing in the living room, Alban entered the kitchen to prepare a meal for her.

They had no parents.

Alban, now 12 years old, had lost his parents when he was just over 6 years old, and his sister was an infant at the time.

The siblings relied on each other for survival, with Alban taking on the responsibility of raising Tia single-handedly.

Alban needed to stay alive, as there would be no one else to care for his sister if something were to happen to him.

The thought of Tia being sent to an orphanage or being left to wander alone was too unbearable for him to even consider.

Alban and his younger sister resided in this small town, occasionally venturing to Waleng Mountain for training.

Alban possessed a special ability, which he relied upon to earn money and sustain their livelihood.

Lilly silently observed as Alban carried his sister in his arms and departed, remaining silent for a long time.

Josh had already stepped forward, raising her hand to inspect the redness resulting from being kicked, expressing her sympathy. He could not help but say, “Lils, does it hurt? That child is truly repulsive!”

Lilly remained quiet, but instead posed a question, “Josh, do you think we’re evil from their point of view?”

Ever since she realized that perspectives on the world were subjective, Lilly no longer easily passed judgment on whether someone was good or bad, or whether a ghost was benevolent or malevolent.

People were individually perceived in this world. To her, the older boy was detestable, yet to Tia, he was likely the most wonderful person in existence.

Lilly’s heart was burdened, but she also worried about Ivan.

Her strength was insufficient to venture back into the underworld. Originally, she had planned to train with King Libra and then proceed to do so when she had grown stronger.

However, the current situation posed a dilemma. What should they do now?

To go or not to go?

If Anthony, Gilbert, or Bettany were in danger, Lilly would undoubtedly rush to their rescue without hesitation.

With this thought in mind, Lilly had a sudden realization. She grabbed Josh and exclaimed, “Come on, let’s go home!”

As they arrived at the entrance of the community, Lilly accidentally ran into Blake, who was driving back.

“Lilly?”

Observing the troubled expression on Lilly’s face, Blake immediately got out of the car.

“What’s wrong?”

Having just returned from Apex Mountain, Colton, and his team were still undergoing training at the Lake of Confusion.

Lilly inquired, “Father, does Uncle Shaw know that Ivan has gone down?”

Blake nodded, saying, “Yes, I informed him the day you returned and shared the news with me.”

Lilly felt a sense of worry and continued, “Daddy, Ivan has fallen into the abyss, and I don’t know what to do now.”

Blake quickly embraced her and said, “First, calm down, and let’s discuss it carefully.”

“Remember, no matter what happens, the first thing is to have a calm mind,” he reassured her.

Gradually regaining her composure, Lilly spoke, “Today, we encountered a tall boy who went to the same school as Drake…”

Drake interjected, “His name is Alban, I just found out.”
