Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Across the street, the man in black appeared like a phantom, intermittently emerging at the intersection and the entrances of various shops, trailed by a swarm of shadowy figures resembling skeletal insects.

And then…

To Cloud’s bewilderment, Blake was following the man in black with Lilly!

Cloud’s mind raced with confusion. Was Blake being so blatant in his approach?

How could he tail someone like this? Is this how Blake stalks people in broad daylight?

Cloud quickly averted his gaze, feeling foolish for even entertaining such thoughts.

When the traffic light turned green, Cloud continued walking, after that, he reached an alleyway. However, he knew that the man in black would discover Blake.

Cloud pondered.

Perhaps Blake is certain that the man in black didn’t recognize him. But the man in black didn’t appear to be dumb…

Unable to understand what Blake was doing, Cloud reluctantly chose to trust that Blake had a plan and that reinforcements would arrive.

As he entered the alley, Cloud’s surroundings transformed. The small, winding pathway led deeper into the older residential area of the city. While Lemon County boasted newly constructed commercial buildings, this particular neighborhood consisted of homes built by the residents themselves. The layout was irregular and less orderly, causing the alleyways to become increasingly secluded. During the day, most people were at work, with only a few going out early to buy groceries.

Silence enveloped the alley.

Finally, upon hearing footsteps behind him, Cloud turned his head and spotted a dark figure standing not far away, locking eyes with him.

Blake and Lilly stood motionless, concealed behind a nearby wall, their presence shrouded in secrecy.

Cloud felt a lump forming in his throat, almost choking on the words he intended to say. However, he managed to react swiftly. He glanced back and forth before yelling, “Who the hell are you? Why are you following me?”

Just as he thought about what the man in black would say, in the blink of an eye, the man closed the distance, pressing his face close to Cloud.

“Hehe! Cloud,” the man addressed him using his real name.

Cloud’s expression abruptly changed, his eyes sharpening with suspicion. “Who are you?” he demanded.

King Libra burst into laughter.
