Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 573

Cloud soon understood why Lilly had warned him.

Once he was done with his meal, Cloud sat back, satisfied, and said, "I'm full."

However, Bettany raised her hand and picked up a piece of pork for him, saying, "The pork is especially delicious today. You should have another one."

Cloud thought to himself, "Why not? Having another piece won't hurt."

Even though he was feeling a bit stuffed, the pork was truly irresistible!

After eating the extra piece of pork, Bettany slid a half-filled bowl of abalone-topped noodles toward him, explaining, "This was originally meant for Lilly, but she couldn't finish it after having the other dishes. You should have it!"

Cloud patted his belly.

Well, why not? The abalone-topped noodles looked delicious!

Finally finishing half a bowl of noodles, he was genuinely full.

But then, Bettany prepared a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Cloud, suggesting, "After eating so much, let's have some soup! This chicken soup with mushrooms is light and refreshing."

Cloud thought it made sense. Despite feeling full, he had too much food and wanted to cleanse his palate with some soup.

After sipping the soup…

Bettany exclaimed, "Have some fruit. I'm sure you're usually busy with work and don't eat well, right? You've lost weight!"

Cloud felt a pang of guilt. He didn't want to make his mother worry, so he agreed and continued eating.

After finishing the fruit…

Bettany added, "This is the yogurt I bought for Lilly, have it as dessert so it'll help with digestion."

Cloud sighed internally. Lilly's... curiosity got the best of him, so he decided to give it a taste.

After eating the yogurt…

Bettany checked the time and said, "It's almost nine o'clock... Let's have a light supper. Margaret prepared roasted oysters."

Cloud, with a perplexed expression, was silent.

After consuming the oysters…

"Now, let's have some sour plum soup to cool down from the barbecue," Bettany suggested.

Cloud, feeling overwhelmed, could understand why his brothers fled the scene faster than ghosts.

As he lay down, he found it difficult to turn over, stretching his limbs and gazing at the ceiling.

He thought of the amount of food he ate throughout the day.

Amid his thoughts, he considered joining Blake and Lilly for an outing the next day. After all, Blake was on vacation, and Cloud realized the importance of spending time with his elderly parents, who were growing older with each passing day.

The following day, after breakfast, Cloud changed his mind.

I'll go out with Lilly!

His stomach could not handle too much of his mother's "love" anymore.

His mother was accompanied by Hugh, Lilly, and along with his other brothers. It was more than enough.

So, Cloud followed Lilly and Blake as if he was escaping for his life.

As Cloud drive, he asked, "We're heading to Ecruteak? Why did you wanna go there all of a sudden?"

Blake reclined on the seat, placing one hand on the backrest, and lazily responded, "You won't want to know."

Cloud did not take things too seriously as he had been through a lot. He even saw ghosts, what else could he not handle?

Lilly exclaimed, "Uncle Cloud, we're going to capture King Libra!"

Cloud thought to himself…

Is that all?

King Libra, as Lilly and Anthony had mentioned before, was on Cloud's radar. Although he knew he could not help much, after encountering ghosts for a week, encountering King Libra excited him.

Josh and Zachary, the two combat power analysts, did not tag along this time. King Libra was immortal, so they stayed at home to be safe and to avoid any potential harm to their teachers and classmates if they were to attend school.

Blake, Cloud, and Lilly drove to the airport, parked their cars, and boarded a plane to Ecruteak.
