Spoiled by Eight Uncles Novel novel Chapter 557

Chapter 557 Cloud, the Network Administrator 

As the doll cursed silently in its heart, it collided with something. 

A white-haired female ghost, who had been about to attack Blake from behind, let out a scream and was swallowed by the doll. 

Another white-haired ghost lunged at Blake, opening its mouth to bite. Blake instinctively raised his 

hand…. 

In the next moment, he witnessed a burst of purple light emanating from his wrist, knocking the white- haired female ghost away! 

Having just devoured the doll of one white-haired female ghost, it turned around and swallowed the other ghost as well. 

Within a second, Blake had swiftly slain two white-haired female ghosts, leaving them no chance to report what was going on to King Libra. 

Blake’s heart sank. 

The white-haired female ghosts were ghost generals under King Libra’s command. 

Was he followed by the white-haired female ghosts as soon as he arrived? 

Or had they been tailing him throughout his journey, and he just did not notice them? 

Blake unwrapped the white gauze from his wrist, revealing a split purple jade bead. As the gauze fell to the ground, he noticed that the once vibrant purple hue of the bead had faded, and it now appeared as rough as an ordinary pebble. 

“If only I had an invisibility talisman,” Blake muttered to himself, feeling a tinge of regret as he touched the talismans on his body. 

The doll was speechless. 

Why don’t you ascend to heaven? 

Blake meticulously searched the small county throughout the day, but he could not find any clues about 

Cloud. 

The county’s overall population, including townships, exceeded 400,000 people, while the urban population amounts to approximately 100,000 people. 

However, Blake could not find a person who stood out among the 100,000 people. 

“Cloud’s doing a good job at hiding. Blake thought, taking a pen and writing on a piece of paper, “Is he not 

here?” 

Lemon County was located on the western border and had multiple entry ports, adjoining several neighboring countries. 

The location was unique, but compared to the development of the economic zone, this was the only place that lagged behind. 

However, it served as a crucial military stronghold, although the local residents might be unaware of its significance. 

Logically, there was a higher likelihood that Cloud was hiding in Lemon County. 

Blake planned to continue the search the next day, and if he was unsuccessful, he would return to Alfornada. 

Lemon County lacked upscale hotels, with even the largest hotel was not a three-star establishment. Blake booked a room and intended to rest upon returning to the hotel at night. 

Considering easy it was to encounter something bad at night and the unknown whereabouts of King Libra, Blake believed it was wise to be more cautious. 

Taking precautions, Blake placed the doll on the doorknob. 

“Keep an eye on the door!” Blake instructed. 

The doll was speechless once more. 

At night, a small country town’s internet cafe was bustling with young people and students who stayed up. all night. 

Most of the students were addicted to playing video games on their computers. Their excitement occasionally led to shouts. 

“Sir, can I have a cup of instant ramen?” someone called out. 

A black-eyed network administrator with messy hair and a stubble beard on his chin approached, holding a cup of instant ramen and placing it in front of a young man. 

“That’ll be ten dollars,” he said. 

The young man expressed surprise, exclaiming. That expensive?” 

With a cigarette in his mouth, the network manager nonchalantly responded, “Yeah, it’s 10 dollars if I have to make it for you and 6 dollars if I made it yourself.” 

Speechless, the young man took out 10 dollars and muttered, “If I had known earlier, I would have made it myself and saved four dollars.” 

“Sir! Another pot of coffee, someone called out. 

With a cigarette in his mouth, the network manager lazily replied, “Place an order on the website. You don’t need to call me. Ell send it to you later. 

“I prefer to call,” the man said. 

The network manager sneered, walked back to the front desk with the money, and checked something on the computer. As someone approached him, he extended his hand and asked for their ID card. 

“Do you want to charge the card? It’s 25 dollars for overnight usage, it’s quite affordable: 

The network administrator wore a T-shirt with a jacket that seemed like it had not been for a couple of 

days. 

The customer handed over the card, and his girlfriend could not help but glance at the network administrator twice. 

At first glance, she did not notice anything, but as she saw him up close, she realized that he was actually somewhat handsome. 

However, the girl did not pay much attention and was dragged away by her boyfriend. 

Afterward, the girl quickly forgot the network administrator’s face. She thought he was somewhat handsome a moment ago, but his face slipped from her memory as she turned around. 

The network administrator poured the coffee and delivered it to the person who ordered it earlier. 

The person calling for the coffee was also a young man who initially seemed idle, casually browsing a forum. 

He appeared to have a keen interest in military affairs and was currently engaged in a heated argument with others on the internet. 

Leaning back in his chair, the network administrator glanced at the man’s screen and added. Tve noticed. you’ve been arguing all night. If it’s getting you so worked up, why not try green tea? It costs 25 dollars. 

The teenager was speechless, then fumed, “No way! These idiots have no idea what they’re talking about. How can someone make such stupid comments?” 

He pointed at the screen, saying, “Anyone with even a little knowledge about the military knows that… can’t be… This person is an idiot!” 

Cloud patted him on the shoulder, smiled, and walked away.
