Chapter 404 Freeze!
“Anyway,” Bettany decided to change the topic. “Pick your clothes for your school tomorrow.”
While Lilly, Grace, and Hannan sorted out their clothes, Josh and Drake whipped out their phones to
order clothes online. There was no way they would wear pink on the first day of the new semester!
Later in the afternoon, Bryson packed his luggage. His leave was over and he had to go back to work.
After the scare and suspense he had, Bryson found himself becoming more and more reliant on Lilly.
He decided to knock on Lilly’s door.
“You’re going back to work, Uncle Bryson?” Lilly’s head popped out from the door frame.
“Yes, Bryson knelt down and patted Lilly’s head. “I will be back around New Year.”

“When I return, I’ll come with a present for you!”
“YES!” Lilly cheered. “Oh, wait. Take this.” Lilly went inside her room and came out with something in
her tiny hands.
“What is that?” inquired Bryson.
“A protective charm. It will protect you.”
“Thanks, Lilly.” A fuzzy feeling invaded Bryson’s chest. He then left while Lilly bode him farewell over
the balcony.
Meanwhile, Chris was performing a divination. But he coughed out blood halfway through.
“How could this be? Nothing?” Chris knew he ran into formidable opponent after the ghost bride was
subdued. He knew his opponent must have put him on the wanted list. He thought he could glean
some hints as to the identity of his enemy with some simple divination but he failed. Was his opponent
so strong that he was undetectable?
All of a sudden, someone rang his doorbell.
Chris approached the door cautiously and asked, “Who’s there?”
“Do you need my service?” said a woman.
To run away from the authority, Chris checked into the dodgiest motel. At midnight, entertainers would
knock on each door to ask if the occupants wanted their service. Chris was used to it.
“No, thanks.”
“Freeze!” yelled somebody. Chris’s door was kicked open.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCall it the instinct of a criminal but when Chris heard freeze!”, his fight or flight response was triggered.
His gear, his talismans, and his paper puppets were all in his room. Chris might not be able to defeat
his aggressor but he could make an escape.
Blake chuckled at Chris’s futile attempt. He threw some talismans in the air and they homed in on
Chris.

Blake slid and tripped Chris, before pinning Chris to the ground.
“You have no right to arrest me!” Chris put up his last line of defense.
Blake looked at the entertainer and back at Chris. “You are arrested for soliciting!”
