Uzza wrote a letter and gave it to her subordinate Choy. “Deliver this to the council. Let them decide how to move forward.”“What about HIM?” Choy asked.“If the council knows about it, he’ll also know,” Uzza said. “Besides, the time of their punishment is almost over. Both Benjamin and Rye will be released soon. But this information is more important, so make sure to deliver this news to the council.”“Yes, ma’am,” Choy said and then swirled like a wind and flew away. Even though he went past an airplane, he went undetected.“Things might get much harder for you, Benjamin,” Uzza thought. “I’m sorry. If I could, I would have done something. But what’s happening is far beyond my ability to do anything. I’m just another onlooker now. But I will do my best to protect your wife and her family. That’s the least I can do until you get here.”Meanwhile, in Selena’s room.Veronica called the number which Akash’s parents used the last time. Luckily, Akash’s dad, Ravi, answered.Veronica had b

About an hour later.A delivery came to the Sterling villa. It was addressed to Rebecca, so Kathy took it to Rebecca’s room. “It’s heavy, ma’am. What’s inside?” Kathy curiously asked.Rebecca just waved her finger, telling her to leave.Kathy could only force out a smile before quietly leaving.Rebecca then opened the bag, inside which there was a big metal carriage. She opened it, and was surprised to see three different dishes in three layers. One had turducken in it, which was cooked after stuffing a deboned chicken inside an deboned egg. Rebecca recognized this dish immediately because she had eaten it before.The other two dishes were salt-crusted fish and a cake.“He thinks I can eat all this?” Rebecca sighed. “My appetite did improve after ‘he’ began cooking for us in the house, but I don’t think I can eat all this.”She brought some plates and cut the dishes and ate to her fill. Because she didn’t eat much during breakfast, she was able to eat more now.“These are much better

Salem was the name of the city Rebecca was born in. This was where the Sterling villa was located. It was known as the city of peace.At the four entrances on the borders of the city, the city had pillars raised on either side of the road and were joined by a frame where the lion and the lamb sat together.These were established not by the city management but were personally funded and governed by Rye after she entered the city. She wanted this city to signify what it was named after. In order to do that, she wanted to get rid of all the dark forces in the city, especially the trafficking rings.She did succeed to an extent in achieving her goals, but still, it proved a bit too much for her to do everything by herself.The number of crimes happening in the so-called city of peace were too many to count.In the end, she had to return within six months of leaving her clan. There was only so much she could do in that time period, but she did make enough memories in this city for her to f

Jim’s dad, Marcus, was talking with his lawyer Bernard while working with Verella's body.Verella was his wife who died a long time ago.Marcus was holding a syringe in his hand.“What exactly is inside that,” Bernard asked, “which makes you think it’ll wake her up?”“There are a trillion nanobots inside this thing,” Marcus said. “It’ll help stimulate her brain and heart once again.”“So, you’re restarting the brain and heart through artificial means, huh. Do you think it’ll work?”“Well, these nanobots have been filled with the past memories that Verella and I shared together, so they’re going to make her remember everything.”“What if it backfires?” Bernard asked. “What if she becomes an inhumane, soulless monster or something and ends up attacking you?”“C’mon, Bernard. You’re watching too many movies.”“Well, I’m just stating the possibilities,” Bernard exclaimed a bit. “There’s no guarantee that those nanobots which you didn’t create could be used against you.”“Yeah, you’re righ

Jim had met many gorgeous women, but he barely ever felt outmatched in terms of looks. He was born with near-perfect genes that would make men and even women envy his looks. However, right now, he was feeling envious of the two people that stepped out of the taxi, especially of this red-haired wonder who looked so pristine and with such clear spotless skin that she looked like she was out of this world. How can such women even exist? He thought he was perfect, but this woman was making him feel a bit inferior.In his eyes, Benjamin also had the perfect face that was neither too manly nor feminine. However, Benjamin was shorter than him, so his subconscious mind didn’t feel outdone by Benjamin. He could feel himself as a match to Benjamin, but the same couldn’t be said for Rye.Both Jim and Rebecca were pale-skinned, but the skin of Rye and Benjamin were pale and rosy. Their faces were full of life.“What’s going on here?” Rye stepped forward and asked her. Her voice was like the sound
