Hugh was dealing with some matters in the study when Jack said someone was looking for him.
“Who is it?” Hugh asked.
Jack answered, “I don’t know either, but he said he’s from the military department and has something to do with Little Miss.” Hugh frowned. Someone from the military department? He instantly thought of Lilly’s supernatural power that broke the railing with her bare hands and swung the sledgehammer.
Could it be that the military department found Lilly’s power? Hugh's expression darkened, then he said, “Let him in.” After a while, Jack came in with Blake in black. Behind Blake was his subordinate, who had a tough temperament unique to the military.
On the contrary, Blake gave Hugh an indescribable feeling. Blake looked a bit evil, especially with his slightly curly black hair and naturally indifferent eyes. Even if he deliberately hid it, Hugh could not ignore his bloody and fierce aura, which looked like a crime boss.
“Hello, Mr. Crawford. Nice to meet you.” Blake smiled slightly and reached out.
Hugh looked at his hand and asked, “After | shake your hand, will my granddaughter be safe?” Blake paused, then withdrew his hand with a low laugh.
“Mr. Crawford, you're quite humorous.” Hugh smiled stiffly. “I heard from my butler that you're here to find my granddaughter. Why are you looking for her?” Seeing Hugh vigilant and repulsive, Blake knew Huge regarded him as a kidnapper.

This guy is the God of Battle who made Clodston turbulent recently! If Blake's purpose was not for Lilly's power, Hugh could not figure out why Blake looked for Lilly.
“Oh, you're Chief MacNeil!” Hugh greeted, “Nice to meet you.” Blake raised his eyebrows when he found Hugh became more vigilant. Blake smiled, then explained, “I'm looking for Lilly because...” Blake took out a DNA report. “Your granddaughter is also my daughter.” Hugh was stunned. Daughter? When did he do the DNA test? “You...” Hugh was startled. He took the DNA report and read it carefully for half an hour before recovering from the shock.
He took off his glasses, and his eyes showed seriousness. “What happened between you and Jean?” Blake smiled lightly and said euphemistically, “Jean and | have an unexpected romance. It’s inconvenient to tell you about the details.” Looking at Hugh's disbelieving eyes, Blake explained his past in a few simple sentences.
He met Jean by accident and fell in love. However, he had to leave because he got an urgent task from the organization, and it was inconvenient to contact Jean again.
It was not a complete lie. Blake did have a desperate situation in the underworld group. Even if he found Jean, he might not do anything.
Blake had never been a rigid person. The Crawford family would misunderstand and reject him if they knew the truth. He was not that stupid to make things difficult.
Even if he told the truth, no one could save the past.
Half an hour later, Blake left the Crawford family.
“Lilly went to the MacNeil family the other day?” Blake asked.
He wondered why Lilly said that she did not want her father.
The subordinate responded, “Yes, but the MacNeil family blocked Little Miss from getting in.” A trace of sarcasm flashed in Blake's eyes, and he said indifferently, “They'll regret it.” Blake suddenly remembered the Hatcher family, who had hurt Lilly before.
Blake leaned on the back of the car seat hostilely, and his tone was chilling. “Go break Stephen’s grave and scatter his ashes!” The subordinate panicked and stammered. “Uh... It's better not to do that. Your identity...” Blake scoffed. “It has nothing to do with my identity. | do that as the head of the MacNeil family. What does it have to do with the organization? Besides, nobody will know | break Stephen's grave as long as you don’t tell anyone.” The subordinate was speechless.
Blake closed his eyes to rest, then added, “Oh yes, there are still two elders in the Hatcher family, right?” The subordinate hurriedly stopped Blake. “Mr. MacNeil, you better not hurt the elders.” Blake sneered. “But they abused my daughter. They were doomed to have a bad life.” He did not care if they were elders. His daughter was a kid, but they still abused her with cruelty.
The subordinate felt helpless. Blake was good, but sometimes he was evil, and his methods were ruthless. The organization asked him to supervise Blake, but he failed.
Just then, the phone rang. The subordinate picked up to reply, then hung up the call and said to Blake, “Mr. MacNeil, you need to go to the meeting today.” Blake snorted lightly. “I don’t want to.” He wanted to find his daughter.
“You have to go!” The subordinate emphasized, “That person wants to see you.” The most powerful man of Dudroinia was there. If Blake did not attend the meeting, he would get adverse consequences.
Blace kept silent.
Meanwhile, when Anthony took Lilly to find Rebecca, they found Rebecca had gone out with her family.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Go back first?” Anthony asked Lilly.
Pablo leaned aside and said, “Lilly, predict it.” Lilly leaned on the car window to look out. She answered Anthony, “Wait, Uncle Anthony, | predict first.” After Lilly said that, she pinched her fingers solemnly.
Anthony asked the driver to park the car on the roadside outside the community. Then, he looked at Lilly with a smile.
“You're so great. Don’t you need to turn into a tortoise?” Lilly looked regretful. “Oh, | forgot to take Tortoise out today!” Anthony smiled and shook his head. He only showed his gentle side in front of Lilly. When he turned on his laptop for an online meeting, he immediately became cold and solemn again.
Lilly did not wait long. Just after Anthony’s impromptu meeting, she saw a familiar figure walking back to the community sullenly.
Rebecca looked more tired and became more hunched.
Pablo said, “She came back so soon.” Lilly poked her head out and waved. “Aunty Rebecca!” Rebecca was stunned for a moment, and after a closer look, it turned out to be the little girl she saw at the amusement park yesterday.
“It's you!” Rebecca hurried over and forced a smile. “Why are you here?” Lilly replied, “I come to find you!” Rebecca felt curious. She did not know about Lilly and wondered what Lilly wanted from her.
Seeing Lilly and Pablo staring at him, the weakling spirit huddled on Rebecca's shoulder was trying to reduce his sense of existence and was vigilant.
The weakling spirit had heard from other spirits about a practitioner who was very good at catching ghosts in this area. He hoped that Lilly and Pablo were not practitioners.
