Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily) novel Chapter 388

Chapter 388 The Obedient Subordinate

Blake stood crouched on top of the cell and looked at the bald man through those steel bars.

He seems to be in his forties. Also, he doesn’t really look that different from the other middle-aged men. Is he seriously that great of a practitioner?

“Was the ghost bride inside the haunted house your idea?” Blake asked.

The bald man paused briefly. Then, he raised his head to look at Blake. “You and that little girl belong to the same group?!”

Suddenly, the sound of a gunshot rang out through the dungeons. A bullet traveled past the bald man’s check in a flash and almost grazed the man’s skin.

Blake turned his eyes to the subordinate standing beside him and looked at him in confusion.

The subordinate reported with a stern expression on his face, “Mr. MacNeil, that man moved just now!”

The bald man retorted angrily, “I’m simply trying to answer his question!”

The subordinate replied monotonously, “That’s none of my concern. I’m just trying to carry out my boss’s

orders.”

Anyhow, why would you need to make such a big movement when you just had to stay still and answer the question?

Blake gave the subordinate a thumbs-up. “Good job.”

The bald man dared not make any sudden movements at that point. He remained perfectly still.

“I was the one who left the ghost bride at the haunted house…”

Blake narrowed his eyes.

So, it really was his doing.

Lilly has the ghost bride in her jar of souls right now. However, seeing that this guy was bold enough to try to attack me earlier, it might be a bad idea to leave that ghost with Lilly…

Blake’s expression hardened. “The ghost bride appears to have been around for hundreds of years. How did you manage to control her?”

At that point, the bald man was drenched in a cold sweat as he felt extremely threatened by all the guns pointed at him.

He blinked a few times and said, “I found her by chance when I was out for a mission.”

“That ghost bride was trapped in an old, deserted temple… It didn’t take me too much time to get her to obey me.”

Blake furrowed his brows.

Just then, there was a loud sound of a second gunshot.
