Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily) novel Chapter 1493

Alban took a step back, shaking his head repeatedly. "You can't determine my fate like this! Sentencing me to a life without autonomy in my next life is unacceptable! I refuse! I want to go back to my sister. She's all alone. I have to protect her! I won't go to Hell, and I reject your arrangement for my next life!"

With determination, he turned to leave.

Alban dashed off, desperately trying to return the way he came. His heart was filled with indignation and unwillingness to accept his reality.

However, as he looked around, he realized that he was still in the Ruler of Hell's palace.

It seemed as if time was flowing backward, as if the space was changing according to Lilly's whims.

He couldn't leave the palace, nor could he escape his predetermined fate.

Alban roared, "Lilly Crawford! How is your control over others' fates, deciding their next lives based on your own judgment, any different from the evil you speak of?! I am my own person! Why should I let you decide my fate? I refuse! I won't submit to your punishment!"

He stared at her with bloodshot eyes. "I will break free from your control. I will break the shackles you've imposed on me! I will stand between Heaven and Earth! I want you to know that I won't submit to anyone! Not the Heavens, and certainly not to the likes of you!"

Lilly stopped short.

At that moment, she inexplicably thought of the Manifestation of God's will. She couldn't help but think of her father and the other Great Emperors who were trying to break free from the shackles of Heaven and Earth...

Bang!

The King of Styx, holding a magical pan, smashed it against Alban's head, sending him flying.

With an ugly smile, he said, "I admit you're very powerful. But there's no need for you to flaunt it right now."

This Alban person was delaying his meal with all this nonsensical chatter!

Otherwise, he would have already arrived at the Crawford Mansion. Perhaps Mrs. Crawford had already prepared the meal, and it was cooling right now!

The King of Styx said, "I'm not sure about the Order of Heaven and Earth, and I have no opinions about breaking any shackles. However, I know the duty of the Ruler of Hell. It's none of our business whether you want to break free from the shackles imposed on you. Nevertheless, the evil you've committed has to be repaid before you do anything of the sort."

Lilly had an epiphany. He's right.

As the Ruler of Hell, she should simply do her job. She shouldn't overthink or connect her duties with the Manifestation of God's will.

She was now the King of Hell. Therefore, she should act according to the rules of the underworld.

There was no need to think about anything else.

"Let's go. It's time to enjoy our Christmas," Lilly said, raising her hand. Soon, she and everyone else disappeared from Alban's sight.

Alban was forcefully subdued by a ghost servant, his eyes fixed on the disappearing Lilly.

He couldn't help but think that she was just like Ivan. She was so powerful now!

It was a strength that made him feel powerless, fearful, and uneasy...

At that moment, a thought crossed Alban's mind. If I had established a good relationship with Lilly from the beginning... If I had changed my behavior... Would I be like Ivan? Would I perhaps become a good friend of Lilly's? Maybe we would be very close as well.

Would he also be as powerful as them? Perhaps he wouldn't be in his current predicament.

Alban didn't even realize that his thoughts had changed. He initially thought, I want her to regret not establishing a good relationship with me. Now, it had transformed into, I regret not establishing a good relationship with her.

Unfortunately, there was no starting over for him.
