Chapter 408 Easy-peasy

It was a Saturday. Blake was told that Chris was willing to confess, so he brought Lilly with him back to the MacNeil villa.

“Mr. MacNeil!” Arthur dashed in and knelt before Blake. His eyes were puffy.

Blake didn’t need Arthur to explain the situation. When an honest man like Arthur got on his knees to apologize, it meant something bad had happened. And in this case, Chris had escaped.

“How did he escape?”

“I watched over him for three nights without sleeping. When he said he would come clean today, I transferred him to the interrogation room. And… But don’t worry. I already put the entire villa in lockdown mode. He cannot leave the compound.”

Lilly sighed. Arthur sure was so loyal that he would sacrifice his sleep over the task Blake gave him. “Mission accomplished. Mr. Arthur, go to sleep now.”

Arthur looked at Blake.

“You will take orders from Miss MacNeil too,” said Blake

Arthur nodded. Before he went to sleep, he added another piece of information. “Chris hid in the woods, Our men have surrounded that area.”

Blake and Lilly then headed to the woods. A desperate layton approached them. “Sir, this is unusual. We are very familiar with the woods since it is our training ground. But for some reason, we cannot find our way there.”

Pablo looked at the woods. He eyed the challenge with excitement. “Lilly, it’s a maze enchantment. Let’s take it down.”

“Yes, let’s take it down!” said Lilly to the lollipop she had been sucking.

Chris was hiding in his camouflage. He saw Blake and a child enter the woods. Really? With a child? They sure underestimated him!

“You’re here.” A disembodied voice appeared from nowhere. “Who are you? Why do you want to hunt me

down?”

Blake and Lilly looked around. They found no one.

“Come out now. And we will talk.” Blake put Lilly behind him. He shouldn’t have brought Lilly with him. Facing an unseen foe might put Lilly in danger.

“Come out now, you prick!” Lilly copied her father’s bravado.

“I was minding my own business but you had to ruin everything. What do you want from me?” The disembodied voice continued.

“Come out already!” Lilly threw her tiny fist in the air.

“Why don’t you come and find me? HAHAHAHA!” Chris cackled. There was no way his victims could escape from the maze enchantment.

“Lilly, you leave the woods first. The enemy is hiding. What if he lunges at you?”

“You can’t find him?” In fact, Lilly was giving her father a chance to play the hero. She could locate Chris easily. “It’s okay, Daddy. Most people won’t be able to find him anyway.” Lilly then patted Blake on his

back.

“Now, let’s make a deal…” Chris pressed home his advantage.

Before Chris could finish his sentence, Lilly took a pebble from the ground and threw it in a direction.

“Ouch!” The pebble hit Chris’s face. He fell to the ground. No way a kid could sense where he was. This must be beginner’s luck. Yeah, luck!

“Oi! Come out already. Or I’ll hit your face with a stone again.”

“Little girl, don’t get ahead of yourself now. You got lucky. That’s all,” sniggered Chris.

Lilly picked up another pebble. If her enemy wouldn’t believe her, she would just prove it herself.
