Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)

Chapter 690 Lilly's First Act of Judgment Blake dared utter those words because he saw no reason to fear Darwin.

Darwin, a man driven by deep-seated greed, always sought to justify his actions despite his inherent weakness.

Furthermore, if Mr. Martin didn't put Darwin behind bars, Blake would gladly do so without a second thought, never granting him even the slightest opportunity.

After finishing her task of collecting the spirits, Lilly silently observed Darwin. She raised her hand, and the pen of judgment materialized in her grasp.

"Unveiling the illusions..." Lilly murmured as the pen of judgment hovered before her, pointing at Darwin's past and future. She watched in silence.

Darwin was imprisoned and, upon his release, he became bitter and resentful, moving from one small company to another.

He then befriended an "accomplice" and shamelessly stole his friend's achievements, claiming them as his own.

His friend met a tragic end, and Darwin gained fame and fortune through his stolen accomplishments. Though constantly criticized by others, he found ways to retaliate against those who spoke ill of him.

Over time, he became a true villain, shrouded in darkness and treachery. At home, he would verbally abuse his wife and children, while at work, he would be subservient to his superiors.

Lilly tightly gripped the pen of judgment, and this was Darwin's life—a revelation she had not expected.

The pen of judgment remained suspended between her fingers, granting her the power to pass judgment upon Darwin.

"Let us strip away his wealth and remove his benefactors’ favor,” Lilly's eyes glimmered with insight as she issued her first judgment.

"Wealth, the fortune one accumulates in a lifetime, intertwined with their blessings." "Benefactors are not limited to the narrow literal meaning of the word, such as Max, Darwin's 'friend" in the future. They are individuals who play a significant role in his life—those who provide him with what he desires, but are regarded as villains by others." Lilly once again witnessed Darwin's life unfold before her. After being released from prison, he found a small company and intentionally approached his "friend." However, his friend unwittingly discovered his deceitful nature and promptly distanced himself.

Darwin's plans were thwarted, and he was scorned by others, leaving him with no choice but to leave the company and seek another.

Repeatedly, he would employ his talents and past credentials to ingratiate himself with new targets, but his reputation preceded him, and no one fell for his schemes anymore.

His life became a cycle of aimlessness, drifting between several small companies. In a fit of rage, he was caught by his wife's family while berating her, resulting in a severe beating.

Now, he couldn't gain any advantage and lived a life of utter frustration and gloom.

Lilly withdrew the pen of judgment, gazing at the frantic Darwin before her. Her heart had completely calmed.

"Let's go, Daddy!" Lilly held Blake's hand.

Blake nodded, and they walked away.

Josh was baffled.

Is... is it over just like that? "Wait for me!" Josh chased after them.

Hannah said in confusion, "Huh?" So, what was the purpose of their visit here? Hannah followed along, looking bewildered. Well, it didn't matter. As long as she didn't have to do homework.

Drake, with his hands in his pockets, displayed an impatient expression. Zachary reflexively followed, lost in his thoughts.

Floating next to Lilly, Pablo remarked, "The judgment you just passed is known as instant karma." Lilly was surprised. "Master, did you witness it too?" Pablo shook his head. "I didn't see what you saw, but | can perceive the changes in the ledger.” He opened his ledger, flipping to the page featuring Darwin, and let it linger there.

"You have the power to determine how a person's past and present lives should unfold, the general course of their existence.

You can also mete out their instant karma." "But remember, the greater your authority, the more cautious you must be with your pen.” Otherwise, she would be consumed by the thrill of power, whimsically manipulating the lives of others, seeking revenge, or forcing them to become better. That was forbidden.

Lilly nodded. "I understand, Master." Gazing at the pen of judgment once again, Lilly suddenly felt the weight of her responsibility.

Oh, dear~ Such small shoulders bear such a heavy burden. She even felt her little arms developing biceps~ She would lift this burden and never misuse the pen of judgment! Pablo added, "Some people believe in the cycle of reincarnation and the accumulation of good deeds and blessings. But some become arrogant and disrespectful, lacking reverence... and that's when instant karma can come into play.” "After instant karma, you can observe their future behavior and determine their judgment when they enter the cycle of reincarnation.” Some individuals, having received instant karma, would learn to restrain themselves and no longer dare to act recklessly.

Others, having received instant karma, would remain resentful and continue down their previous path.

Lilly nodded. "Yes, | understand!" Darwin sat dumbfounded on the ground.

He felt a weight lifted off his back, yet a sense of loss lingered within him.

What did he lose? Was it his so-called friend, Max? The thought of Max made Darwin grit his teeth. Such a friend couldn't be considered a friend at all. What kind of friend wouldn't lend a hand in times of need? Now, what worried Darwin, even more, was that the three virtual assistants seemed to have vanished completely. Their displays were blank, unresponsive to his pleas.

"It's over. | messed up... | messed up everything!" The remaining unlucky ghost tilted its head, stretching its limbs, and muttered, "Not really... How can you call this a complete mess? We just need to drive Mr. Martin into bankruptcy, right?" "Shut up!" Darwin would never know the truth—that there were no virtual assistants. There were only spirits.

He had hoped to fix things before Mr. Martin arrived, at least to make Dahlia appear...

But the more he tried, the more chaotic it became. Eventually, the kitchen's plumbing system malfunctioned, and water sprayed everywhere, causing the room's components, panels, and devices to short-circuit and emit smoke.

Darwin frantically tried to salvage the situation but ended up slipping and shattering glass and LCD screens into pieces.

When Mr. Martin entered and saw the state of the place, a rush of blood surged to his head, and he almost fainted on the spot.

"Darwin! Go to jail!" Mr. Martin exclaimed in exasperation.

The unlucky ghost chuckled, "Oh, look who's here! The main player has arrived. Come, let me pat your head." After leaving Darwin's "smart home" research center, Lilly and the others retraced their steps.

As the car reached the street where they had encountered the old woman, Lilly suddenly shouted, "Stop the car! Stop the car!"
