Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 1374

Jean observed as the evil eye quickly vanished after Blake's fall, sending shivers through the onlookers as he plunged into the blood-red pond.

Concerned, she asked, "Crawford Ancestor, will he be alright?"

Crawford Ancestor held Lilly back to prevent her from sneaking closer and reassured her, saying, "Don't worry."

His eyes darkened as he stared at the spot where the evil eye had been, and his lips pursed.

Just before descending, Blake exchanged a knowing glance with Crawford Ancestor, and they made a joint decision.

Instead, Blake's indignant rant and the forceful kick relieved the tension gripping everyone.

Pablo withdrew his gaze silently and suggested, "Let's investigate this ghost."

Lilly attentively observed the evil eye, her hand hidden behind her back as she secretly practiced auramancy.

After a moment, she sighed with relief and turned her attention to the ghost. "Tell us your name, where you are from, and how you died."

The others were also curious and eagerly awaited the ghost's response.

Jean noticed Lilly's subtle movement and felt reassured by her relaxed demeanor.

Crawford Ancestor and Pablo also found solace in Lilly's calmness. Despite Crawford Ancestor's advanced age, seeing Lilly composed gave him an inexplicable sense of relief.

He conjured a few chairs and a table from his ring, arranging a tea set with a pot, cups, and some spirit fruits.

Pablo even brought out some small cakes.

He noticed Lilly's surprised and puzzled expression and explained, "I bought them in Everest."

Seated around the table, they began their afternoon tea while observing the Sterquil.

The Sterquil was perplexed. What is happening?

With a slight flicker in his eyes, he lowered his gaze and spoke subduedly, "I'm only a humble servant to you, the Ruler of Hell. I do not deserve to be questioned by you. It would be better for you to release me and not dampen your interest."

Lilly paused momentarily, quickly understanding the ghost's confusion.

The Sterquil mistakenly identifies Crawford Ancestor as the Ruler of Hell! It's a fortunate misunderstanding, though.

She remained silent and turned to look at Crawford Ancestor, blinking her big eyes.

Both the young and old were full of tricks. Crawford Ancestor immediately understood the situation.

He sneered and replied, "Don't waste my time! You understand Dudroinia's culture well, but your self-deprecation is excessive and insincere. Don't tarnish the title of 'humble servant.'"

The Sterquil thought, Indeed, he is the Ruler of Hell!

In haste, he knelt before Crawford Ancestor, bowing deeply as he uttered, "Lord, I've suffered injustice. While I admit my actions may lack honor, there's an old saying in Dudroinia, 'One should not bring destruction upon oneself.' As your humble servant, I've remained humble and devout throughout, striving to survive from the beginning to the end."

Crawford Ancestor had long seen through the deceit of the Sterquil and felt disgusted with his demeanor.
