Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)

The girls family were in the lowest of low spirits, the light in their eyes slowly fading.

The girl heard the ding of her phone again and again, not even daring to take a single look.

But not looking would hurt too...

She closed her eyes and turned on her phone, all hope devoid in her heart.

To her surprise, she came across many private messages to her account that were positive.

All of them were apologizing...

“What's going on?” The girl was shocked.

Her parents hurried over as well, and realized that the tables had turned completely! They found the original video after a bit of digging. The police had released an official statement about content creator Harvard Schumacher pretending to be one of the girls who had nearly drowned, posting videos with horrible sentiments on her behalf and disrupting public peace. He was arrested on the 15th.

The girl's real account had also been found, and her comments had been flooded with echoes of apology after apology.

The girl was moved to tears. Her hope in the world had been reignited! As for Harvard, he got hated on like crazy. His accounts were all banned, but netizens managed to dig up his parents’ numbers.

Karma had finally gotten its turn.

Harvard's parents got hell...

Their relatives and friends were also asking about their son in mocking tones. Incensed, they went looking for their son.

“I'd like to rip him a new one!” Harvard's father cursed.

Harvard's mother sighed. “Tell him to come home, come on!” This made her husband all the more enraged. “How am | supposed to do that? Give him a call? He’s not going to listen unless you beat the hell out of him.” Harvard's mother sobbed, “I told him not to go, but he just wouldn't listen! He's left home for eight years, but never comes home with any money. Id rather he stayed dumb! At least he'd just work hard, instead of getting into trouble!” The couple knew early on that their son was a smart kid.

He was so smart he never paid any attention in class, so smart he never wanted to just get a job and work hard, always thinking of ways to get rich quickly.

His poor parents worried day and night for him, terrified that he would do something terrible that would bring trouble to the family.

But he was their son, and they couldn't just abandon him...

Harvard did not know any of this.

It was fine that he was locked up. It was only fifteen days, not a big deal at all! He would get out in fifteen days, and be completely alright! He truly understood the secret to going viral now. There were hot topics everyday, all he needed to do was pick one of them and completely oppose it. That would make it really easy.

People who actually filmed videos earnestly in this day and age were idiots. The smarter ones would just piggyback off others! It was easier, took less time and going viral was so easy...

Harvard thought about these, his eyes flashing with increasing greed as he chuckled to himself leaning against the iron bars.

Just then, the door opened with a clang as a man and a little girl stood in front of the metal door.

They were Blake and Lilly.

Harvard sat up, completely stunned.

He stuttered, “W-what are you trying to do?” Blake scoffed. “Don’t worry. We can talk it out.” Blake thought to himself, Again with this! “B-bro, come on, man...” Harvard looked distraught. He could not really take the friendly talk! Lilly finally met this terrifying man who chopped his finger off... she tugged on Blake's shirt lightly.

She asked softly, “There's no spirit on his head, Master?” How strange. There was a dark coming from this man for sure.

Aregular person would not have a dark aura. How could that be? Pablo stared at Harvard. “Tulip, have you heard of Nasties?” Lilly shook her head.

Pablo said, “Nasties were historically described as different monsters. Now, they're described as all sorts of horrible people.” “But why don’t they just go by their names if they're people? Well, people these days say that some human beings are too far beyond rotten to be considered human. That's why.” “The truth is, there really is a type of ghost that lives in a human being’s spirit but is just like a ghost.” Lilly nodded, half-confused and half-knowing.

“Do you mean this man’s like a living ghost?” Pable blinked.

He had said all of that.

Only for her to summarize everything in two words.

Pable nodded quietly. “Sure, that's also true...” Lilly cast a disdained glance at him. “Just call him a living ghost, then! What was the point of rambling on for so long? So insincere.” How are you supposed to educate a kid, really? Pablo was speechless.

Lilly asked again, “Master, will this man still be alive if we take care of the living ghost in him?” Pable said, “Well, he'd be dead if we were to actually take his spirit. What do you think we should do with him, Lilly?” Lilly gave it some thought, before saying, “Kill him?” Blake spat out the mouthful of mineral water he had just drank. “Cough cough, Darling, watch what you're saying!” He had brought her to see Harvard, not to kill people.

Lilly covered her mouth hurriedly.

Harvard was speechless.

His legs wobbled and he fell to his knees. “B-bro, please don't kill me...” Lilly grunted. “What if | told you that's not what | meant...” Harvard thought to himself, I'd be an idiot to believe you! He sobbed, kowtowing against the floor again and again and promised to never do it again, along with a bunch of other nonsense.

Lilly pursed her mouth, not believing him in the slightest.

“Well, what should we do?” She asked Pablo sincerely.

Pablo said, “We take away his dark aura, and destroy half of his soul.” Lilly said, “Does that mean he’s going to be half-alive and half-dead? He's going to lose his mind?” Harvard thought, What?! She wanted to beat him to a pulp and make him insane? He stopped short. This little kid really was nothing like the innocent girl she seemed to be. No, she was ruthless! Hadn't he just gone looking for a little stardom? They were loaded! Why were they trying to get back at him over such a small thing? Harvard began to shout, “Help! Police, please! I'm getting murdered!” Blake smirked. “Go on. No one’s.” Lilly finished the sentence for him. She knew this one! “No one’s gonna come save you even if you scream yourself hoarse!” It was only then when Harvard realized that he had screwed up big time! This kid was not just any other spoiled kid from a rich family. She might be someone far more terrifying...

Harvard trembled all over. “Let me go...” This was Lily's first time trapping a live spirit, and she did not really know what to do.

Did a person deserve to be captured if he hadn't died? Pablo saw her hesitation, and knew he was putting her through a tough decision.

After all, she was not some cold-hearted guardian of Hell. She was just a child...

Yet despite thinking so, the kid was seen closing her eyes. It seemed like she was cheering herself on, shouting, “Let's do it!” Pablo, Blake and Harvard were baffled by that.

Lilly's train of thought was simple.

Her dad had told her what Harvard had done. She just felt like if a person would still continue causing harm after this, if he would still be alright with hurting other people for money.

Why not just take care of the problem? Besides, they weren't going to kill him. He was just going to lose his intelligence.

Her Grandma liked to say that fools’ were the happiest people. Maybe becoming a fool wouldn’t be a bad thing...
