Chapter 344 Blake Clears The Battlefield

Bettany sneered. “The library is so dirty?”

Hannah had a gifted talent for lying. She said, “We went to the library and read in silence. After that, a librarian was

arranging the bookshelves when she fell off a ladder. He started to cry and was unsure of what to do because he

couldn’t finish his work. We felt bad for him, so we helped him organize the shelves. We smudged our faces

because there was a lot of dust on the shelves.”

Drake and Josh twitched their mouths.

Bettany was speechless. Probably only Hannah could tell such a blatant lie with a straight face. This girl thought her

story was flawless.

“Why are the soles of your shoes black?”

Bettany played along with her lie. She wanted to see what kind of outrageous lie Hannah could come up. with next.

Hannah said confidently, “Some books are kept in the warehouse, and the place is dirty. We went to the warehouse

to move books.”

She rendered Bettany speechless. She comforted herself; at least her logic was not too bad.

The old lady looked fierce, and she commanded, “All of you! Stand in the corner!”

The kids instinctively walked up to the door; even Zachary, who had an extremely slow reaction, also stood neatly in

line.

Bettany grunted and glanced at Drake. She wanted to ask Drake something, but Anthony returned at this, time.

As soon as Anthony returned, he saw the kids lined up beside the door as if they were welcoming

him. He handed his briefcase to Jack and asked, “What happened?”

Bettany told him the story of the kids sneaking out to have fun.

“I have no idea where they went. Is this something to joke about? They claimed they visited the library, but in

reality, they had snuck outside to play. What happens if they sneak over to the reservoir?”

Many children were reported to have drowned while swimming in the reservoir during the summer. break. Bettany

was not upset when the kids went outside to play. She was irate because they did not inform the adults, and it could

be dangerous.

Anthony looked at Drake and said, “Don’t worry, they were with Drake; he knows the limits.”

Bettany looked at Drake; she was curious about his response.

Drake lied through his teeth; he said, “Hannah is telling the truth.”

Bettany was stunned. Do you take me for a fool?

Drake pursed his lips and explained, “She lied about the study; she was reading a comic, so she described

everything like she was telling a story.”

Bettany glared at Drake.

Anthony laughed and said, “Mom, don’t you trust Drake?”

Bettany grunted lightly. She shifted her gaze, and her expression softened. She conceded and said, “Alright then,

I’m just worried about your safety. You did well by helping the librarian.”

Hannah immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She felt quite pleased with herself.

Whoo-hoo! I had successfully deceived Granny.

Then, Hannah saw her Granny smiled at Lilly and asked, “Lilly, did you have fun at the library?”

Lilly was caught off guard, and she answered, “It was fun, but…”

Bettany immediately asked, “But what?”

Lilly thought for a moment and said, “It’s just that my siblings are too clingy. I could barely walk!”

Bettany was stunned. What did she mean by being clingy Hannah and Josh liked to play with Lilly, but Zachary and

Drake would not do that.

Bettany wanted to probe deeper, but Anthony pulled her inside the house. He said, “That’s enough, Mom. The

children must be hungry. We should eat now!”

Lilly’s tummy cooperated very well; it rumbled at this time. She looked pitifully and blinked her eyes at Bettany. She

said, “Granny, my tummy says it can’t hold on anymore. My siblings must feel the same.”

Bettany felt both helpless and amused.

Anthony had voiced his opinion, so she would not probe any further.

Anthony was the backbone of the Crawfords. Even though Drake was unreliable, Anthony would know his own

limits.

Bettany said helplessly, “Go….wash your hands. Forget it take your bath. Come down for your meal after taking a

shower.”

Hannah and Lilly cheered, “Yeah! “Grandma is the best

Hannah happily added, “Granny is amazing!”

Josh was relieved, and he quickly left to take a bath. Drake was a clean freak; he silently went upstairs. Zachary

stayed put.

Bettany took two steps forward, then she turned around and asked, “What’s wrong? Aren’t you hungry? You still

want to stand here a little longer?”

Zachary started to walk away. He murmured as he walked, “It’s true that we went to the library.”

Bettany suddenly called Zachary and said, “Zac, I need you to go to the hospital with me tomorrow.”

Zachary was unaware that the purpose of his visit to the hospital was to have a physical examination. He nodded

and said, “Okay.”

His grandparents have recently forced him to help them with a variety of tasks, such as sprinkling flower

petals while Granny was dancing or helping her lift her skirt for a flowing effect in photographs. Zachary agreed out

of habit rather than asking the reason for going to the hospital.

On the other hand, Bedlam Asylum went back to deathly silence after Lilly dealt with the ghost.

A tall man showed up at the asylum’s north-side entrance as dusk fell. The man entered the building after adjusting

his baseball cap.

This man was Blake.

Blake felt a chill spread through his body as soon as he entered the hospital. He was very familiar with this feeling.

He might not have noticed this sensation if it were not for the two footprints that followed him.

around.

What kind of man was Blake? Once he experiences something, he can quickly hone his keenness. As he moved

through the abandoned hospital, he was able to sense ghosts even though he could not see them.

He sensed that someone was following him. From the left, he perceived someone observing him.

Without blinking, he fixed his eyes on the ghost he assumed was floating in front of him. He also felt at chill on top

of his head. Blake imagined a scene from a horror movie in his mind where a ghost was hanging upside down from

the ceiling and reaching out a hand to touch Blake.

Blake abruptly came to a stop. He peered down the long corridor while squinting his eyes.

He entered the building through the side entrance. When he entered the structure, the floor was covered in a thick

layer of dust, and there were no footprints.

He noticed a messy footprint in the corridor in front of him. Judging from the size, two of them belonged to a young

boy, perhaps eight or nine years old, and the other two to a young girl, perhaps four or five.

Oh, had the kids been here?

Josh’s client list from that morning came to Blake’s mil. Blake instantly gained confidence as a God of Battle, a

semi-practitioner, and a semi-detective. Lilly’s presence indicates that all dangerous forces that could endanger his

life have been defeated. Only a few minor spirits or wandering spirits were left in the building.

The little one said that ghosts could harm mortals when they were stronger, but they could also be suppressed

when mortals were stronger. In this case, he should clean up the battlefield.

“Die!” Blake suddenly threw a punch.

The ghost that floated in front of him was caught off guard and blasted away. He let out a miserable scream as it

fell onto another ghost.

“What the hell?”

The ghost was stunned. Something is wrong. Why isn’t the amulet I bought from that little girl in the morning

working? Have I attached it incorrectly?

The ghost took off the amulet that was stuck to its forehead, flipped it over, and stuck it back on.

This amulet should be working now.
