Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 285
A few moments before the shooting.“I’m telling you, sir,” Rodnie was warning Shadow about Blackbear and Dewar. “Those two are up to no good. If they don’t cause some ruckus at this party, I’ll go bald!”“Mm?” Shadow looked at Rodnie’s head. “You don’t have much hair left anyway.”“That’s not the point!”“Haha, don’t worry. I’ll go and deal with this Blackbear guy right now if that’s what you want.”“Let me accompany you then.”Rodnie and Shadow together looked for Blackbear.Akash was proudly explaining to Veronica’s friends that the suit he wore was actually chosen by Veronica. When she had given him the suit, he got emotional and hugged her back then, but he didn’t need to tell all that to her friends.“She bought you this costly suit?” her friends didn’t believe Akash’s words. “Why would she do that? She never bought anything even for her boyfriends before. What are you to her?”“W-What am I to her?” Akash hesitantly said, “I’m her friend.”“Pfft, then what are we? Why didn’t she

Amber was slowly pouring wine in Shawn’s mouth. Neither of them were yet aware of Benjamin’s identity, as nobody had come and told them yet.“Sir, is it really okay for you to be drinking now?” Amber asked. She didn’t want to be wasting her time here like this! She had seen a handsome guy among the guests, and she wanted to seduce him at all costs.However, they heard gunshots all of a sudden.Amber shook, and the wine ended up falling over Shawn’s face, and some went into his nose, making him sneeze and cough, and that hurt his muscles, making him cry.“W-What’s that noise? Crackers?” As she said, she could hear people shouting. “I-Is somebody shooting outside?” the wine bottle in her hands fell and broke. Luckily, no glass pieces hit her. “Are they going after the president?” she tried to go closer to the window.“Don’t go there, you idiot,” Shawn warned.“Why?” she asked, but then she realized what she was doing, and then ended up walking away from there. “Thank you.”Moments later
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 287
Rebecca woke up and found herself in an old, cold, dark cell that looked like it had been built in medieval times. The ground and the walls were pleated with dirt and dried blood. Spiders were fighting on the cobwebs for the lone fly that got caught.And Rebecca wasn’t alone in this cell. There were six more women beside her: Jane, Reena, Sasha, Naida, Sofia, and Yureka. Rebecca recognized all of their faces except that of Yureka.“Where is this place?” Her arms were bound by thick rope, which she couldn’t free from, no matter how hard she tried. She didn’t know how much time had passed, but at least, she was wearing the same dress as she had during the party.She heard the sound of footsteps and quickly closed her eyes.Bella and Louis stopped outside the cold cell.Bella snorted and said, “We can tell from your breathing that you’re awake, Rebecca.”Rebecca frowned and opened her eyes, only to see her brother and sister-in-law on the other side of the thick, iron-cage wall. She didn

All the seven women had woken up, and they ate away the silence without restraint. While Rebecca stayed silent for the most part, the same wasn’t the case for others.“They brought us here because of you!” Jane kept blaming Reena, as she was a famous actress.“Nonsense,” Reena brushed her words aside. “If they only wanted me, they would have only captured me. Why would they go through the effort of kidnapping the seven of us? Surely, there’s something more to this than we know.”“They probably want money,” Sofia Myers blurted. “What other reason can there be? I can tell that most of us are rich. It’s obvious if you ask me.”“I’m poor, though,” Sasha voiced her mind. “Maybe, it’s not just the money they’re after.”Sofia looked at Sasha with disdain all of a sudden.“W-What?” Sasha was shocked. “Did I do something wrong?”“I think she’s a spy put among us,” Sofia opined, “to gather more information about us.”“Huh?” Sasha’s jaw dropped. “I’m not a spy! How did you come to that conclusio

Benjamin and Shadow had just stopped on a lone island in the middle of the ocean.“I don’t smell them in the air,” Shadow opined. “You think this is the place?”Benjamin, however, didn’t reply, making Shadow wonder if Benjamin was still mad at him for the stunts he pulled at the party.Shadow looked around. “There are no footprints, either. Wait…” his eyes narrowed down on a bush, from where he could feel a heat signature. With a leap, he reached there and kicked the thorn bush aside, revealing to view a heavy metal door with bones & wings symbol at the top. “Black Feathers…”A part of the door opened and launched bullets at Shadow. With quick steps, he dodged all the bullets with no problem. When the machine was reloading, he punched it and destroyed the entire metal door along with it. The broken metal door fell and rolled down the wide stairs that led deep into the ground.“Is this all the defense they got?” Shadow felt it utterly underwhelming. “Mm?” He noticed that Benjamin was l

As the eight dragons charged Benjamin from eight directions, Goat, the goat-masked man, blurted. “I fucked your mom fifteen times, so you can call me your uncle.”Beaver kicked up a huge amount of sand that went like a wave toward Benjamin.Eagle grew wings on his back and flew through the sand and clawed forth. “Black Wind Blaze!”A terrible black fire burst out of his claws and aimed to split Benjamin’s body into six pieces.Benjamin waved his hand and deflected the flames toward Snake.“Howling Hiss!” Snake screamed out a combination of a hiss and a howl that dissipated the flames and went on to disrupt the flow and rhythm of everyone the sound waves touched. It was a hypnotizing howl that affected not just the other dragons but also the creatures in the ocean as it traveled for many miles.Being fellow vampires, the dragons were able to withstand her ability at the cost of a significant exertion of energy from their side. The fishes in the ocean, however, began going crazy and sta

An audio interview of Butcher Bones was constantly being played in the rooms where the Slaughter Squad members were staying.“What makes the mafia great?” the interviewer asked.“Rich businessmen have money but not power. Politicians have power and money but not women. We, the mafia, have it all—money, power, and women. We control the music industry that captures the minds of the population. We supervise the film celebrities through their agents. We decide who wins in professional sports and what gets played on the news channels. We control a lot of things. We run the show behind the scenes. Be that as it may, just one splendid actor is enough to sway the minds and hearts of an entire generation. We always look for those kinds of gems the most.”Suddenly, the audio was interrupted with a new signal, with the foxy maid giving the orders: You’ve been assigned to kill the targets, Gray Ghost, Black Ghost, and their children. They are in the G Block. Room number 76.All the 111 members of

Butcher arrived at the cell he had kept the women in, but all of them were gone, except for one corpse. He also saw the ropes on the floor, and they were uncut.“These little bitches… how did they untie themselves?” he gnashed his gold teeth and followed their scents. “I’ve got all your scents memorized. No matter where you go, you can’t escape from me. When I catch you, I’ll show you what hell looks like!”The only issue he had was the women being captured by the Ten Dragons. Though he was part of Torn and was very confident about fighting them one-on-one, he wasn’t too sure about fighting two of them, much less the ten of them. This was also the reason he had called the likes of Samael. With multiple opposing parties present, he was hoping to sell the women for the highest price possible. Not just Rebecca, but other billionaire daughters would also be sold for a very high price in his opinion.He eventually found the six women, but the foxy maid had beaten half of them black and blu

“How are things with your family, brother?” Fiona asked.Selena raised an eyebrow. “You’re in a family that deals with real-estate, so you should already know how we’re doing.”“Haha, I do, but outside information can only be trusted so much,” Fiona responded. “Recently, we’ve worked hard on getting a marriage deal for Fiona. Her fiance owns a reputed sports agency that deals with covering all the popular international sports. He earns hundreds of millions every year, but his father is a tycoon in the alcohol industry. Their net worth is in tens of billions.”“Good for you and your daughter,” Jacob smiled.“By the way, Brother,” Fiona glanced at Veronica and Akash. “What does Veronica’s husband do?”Jacob’s expression slightly changed.Veronica frowned and looked at her mother who was looking back at her with a rather poker face.“He is staying at home for now,” Veronica said openly.“Pfft, he’s jobless?” Riley snorted. “Your taste is so bad, Veronica, not just in terms of finding a pa

Benjamin went to the first floor and waited in the hall until Rebecca left her room.Then he went to her room. The door was locked, but he solidified his energy in the keyhole and opened the door.He entered the room quietly and saw the water bottle on the table next to her desk. It was half-full.Benjamin took out the vial and poured a drop of water into the bottle while saying ‘I love you, Rebecca.’He entered the bathroom and poured a couple of drops in the bathtub while once more uttering the three words ‘I love you, Rebecca.”He was about to come out of the room, but then he stopped and then ended up leaking another drop of water on the pillow, and another on the blanket. “I love you, Rebecca.”“Hopefully, this will help,” he thought.Benjamin then hurriedly left the room and then went to the rooftop. He mixed a few more drops in each of the four water tanks, while saying the words out, “I love you, Rebecca.”He looked at the vial.Three fourths of it was finished.He put the via

CHAPTER 900
Despite Uzza, Rye, and Benjamin living in separate rooms, there were many guest rooms still available in the mighty Sterling villa, the best property on Rachel Hill.So, the families of Jacob’s siblings stayed in those rooms without any issue.But the problem was with the cousins, who were trying to show off. They acted arrogant and haughty with Veronica and even mocked Rebecca for the little hair she had on her head, not even bothering to wonder why exactly her hair was like that.Rebecca didn’t even bother talking to them, or sparing a word with them because she knew how selfish and self-centered these people were.Jacob and Shawn might have forgiven these people, but Rebecca couldn’t just act like nothing ever happened.She didn’t treat them badly, either. She just ignored them and minded her business.However, her cousin sisters got their eyes on Benyamin who was quite good-looking. Her cousin brothers were also unable to avert their eyes from Rye.Rye looked more like an exotic f

CHAPTER 899
So many people started visiting Sterling villa ever since Selena herself had leaked the news of her buying a lot of land and buildings in Aurora Hills.Selena was sitting on the balcony, with Veronica next to her.“Why has the traffic increased so much?” Veronica said, “I’m seeing so many cars come and go recently.”Selena somewhat smiled and sipped on cream coffee. “I wasn’t born rich, Veronica. My relatives didn’t even let my parents into their homes or invite us to their functions because we were poor as church mice.”“Stop joking, Mom,” Veronica smirked with amusement. “You look like a million dollars. I’m sure our relatives’ sons back then would have wanted to marry you.”“You’re not entirely wrong, but they didn’t want to marry me as much as they wanted to mess with me,” Selena said. “I still remember one guy telling me, ‘I may look ugly as hell, but I can show you heaven in bed.’”Veronica went silent in shock. She didn’t think her mother’s beauty would have brought such terrib

Delle was bringing food, three varieties, on a big plate.Rye intercepted and took the plate from her. She brought it to Benjamin and sat by him under the tree.The grass was cool, even though the breeze was warm.“You think I haven’t noticed that you weren’t eating anything since you made that 40-day promise?” Rye said. “You were just acting like you’re eating.”She broke the bread mixed with fruit and brought it closer to his mouth.He didn’t open his mouth.“Do you want me to stop eating just like you are doing?” Rye said.Benjamin, who was staring into the distance, glanced at her. “Is it possible to love and hate at the same time?”Rye pursed her lips together, not quite understanding why he asked such a question. “I was angry with the things you did. I am still angry, but I don’t hate you. So, if you really love someone, I don’t think you can hate them.”“If there is no hatred in his heart, then how is Neel able to do this to me?” Benjamin asked, a hint of pain laced through his

Rebecca and Benyamin had breakfast together.This nearly made Selena’s eyes bleed. She didn’t think she’d live a day like this.Watching them eating happily was like injecting poison into her body.While she loved seeing her daughter happy, she couldn’t spare any mercy on the man who tricked her daughter into marrying him.Even now, she was thinking in her heart, devising plans on how to separate her daughter and her husband.Having lost the mood to eat breakfast, she came to the backyard.Amber was preparing the background setting needed for the interview.“Where’s Kathy?” Selena asked.“S-She’s with Samuel Sehla, ma’am,” Amber hesitantly said.Selena’s gaze turned a little icy, but then she smiled. “I knew Kathy had it in her, but I didn’t think she’d be able to grab the attention of someone like Samuel Sehla.” She looked at Amber. “What about you?”“I-I don’t plan on grabbing anybody’s attention,” Amber quickly replied.“Tsk, tsk,” Selena shook her head. “Try to grab Benyamin’s att

The next morning.Rebecca came out of her room fast and reached the dorms just to check on Benyamin. She found him brushing his teeth with his finger. And he was using salt.“Don’t you have a brush and toothpaste?” Rebecca quickly asked. “You should have asked me then.”“No, I’m fine with this,” Benyamin replied. “The smell of the chemicals in the toothpaste just makes me feel nauseous, so I’m fine with just this sea salt.”“But… will salt be enough?”“It’s enough,” Benyamin gave a thumbs-up. “In fact, I’m worried about you because you’re using that chemical-ridden toothpaste which dullens your brain.”“If they dullen the brain, then why would they promote toothpastes so much on television?”“They will promote everything that will make them money while keeping the people sick, so that they will not be able to think clearly and would rather depend on the government to think for themselves,” Benyamin smiled.“That’s not funny,” Rebecca hissed. “I have to go and brush my teeth. And I’m f

Later that night.Benjamin was out in the garden, sitting under a tree, doing nothing as hours went by.“He’s been like that since dinner,” Rye was watching him from the first floor’s window. “It’s not good.”“What can I say?” Uzza was feeling heavy-hearted. “It feels like the story of Abel and Cain altogether, though in a different way. The brothers that represent the duality of current man. The devil sure knows how to mock us and make us angry. I’m certain now. It’s his plan. He put the sworn brothers against each other.”“But how did he get Shadow?” Rye frowned. “I don’t sense any demonic energy in him.”“Considering Shadow’s abilities, it’s easy for him to hide the demonic energy,” Uzza opined. “He’s a perfect place for demons to hide, though I don’t know how they got hold of him. He must have been caught by surprise. I just hope that this won’t lead to something disastrous.” She was looking at Benjamin. “The longer this goes, the more likely that someone among those is going to b

CHAPTER 894
Veronica brought Akash with her to dinner. Almost everybody was present at the dinner table after a very long time.New tables were arranged because there were more people now.Veronica could see that Akash was not taking his eyes off Benyamin. “Why are you staring at him nonstop?” she asked in a low voice.“He’s tall, handsome, and so fair. Even his hands are so shiny. How’s that possible for a man?” Akash sounded quite envious. “Men are not supposed to look so good-looking, right?”“Mm…” Veronica looked at Benyamin and felt the same. “He does look like a million bucks, but he doesn’t seem to have much muscle on his body. What’s the point of being tall when you don’t have enough muscle? You only look like you have inadequate genes.”“Not every man can be built heavy like the men in your family.”“Haha, you’re right,” Veronica was proud of her brothers and dad because they were tall and big and good-looking. Their jaws alone would melt the gazes of many women, after all.Rye and Benjam
