Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 310
The moonlight touched the moonless kingdom after many centuries, but the vampires couldn’t appreciate the view of the moon for long.Vampires liked cool conditions, but every vampire in the moonless kingdom currently experienced the hottest summer amplified by a hundred times.“What’s this insane pressure?”“I can’t breathe.”While being unable to breathe wouldn’t kill them, some felt like they were getting choked by the air molecules all around them. Even the capable adults felt goosebumps all over. Their hearts trembled at the invisible aura that oppressed them.Sasha was shivering in bed. “What’s going on? My arms and legs are trembling like they have frostbite. My heart… it’s banging hard.”Amaal, who was watching from a distance, felt unsettled. “My heart is thumping against my will. Me, who has lived over a century and has gone through countless crazy ordeals… is feeling anxious now? This brat is the second person who made me feel this way.” He grinned rather angrily.Brad blew
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 311
The sun’s light was golden, warm, drying, preservative, and antiseptic, which was why the vampires weren’t fans of it. However, the moon’s light was silver, cool, moist, putrefying, and septic, which was why the vampires loved it. Their dark powers worked perfectly under the moon.While the moon’s energy was used to stir up a werewolf’s blood and make it easier to transform, their powers were not septic or putrefying like those of vampires. For instance, a vampire’s bite could kill a human, but a werewolf’s bite wasn’t poisonous. This was because moonlight only acted as a activator or a catalyst to boost up the power of werewolves, but the resulting powers were far different from the properties of typical moonlight. Down the years, some tried to imitate this ancient alchemical formula that had given birth to the werewolves, but it backfired and resulted in vampires whose powers were more on the darker side. There were plenty of reasons for failures, starting from the usage of a bat’s

Damian leaped at Brad, thrusting the sword. “I will send you to your grave today!”“Great,” Brad jumped back and flew out through the glass window. “What you’re doing is treason. You’re giving me a big reason to kill you.”“Kill me if you can!” Damian also flew out and sent a twisting pillar of fire shooting at Brad. “Celestial Flame Coil!”It came so fast Brad barely had any time to dodge. He was forced to block the flaming serpent before it bit his head off. “Krgh!” the flames began melting his claws and body. The attack was much more powerful than he thought. “Necrotic Breath!” He blasted a cold, putrefying wave that weakened the flaming serpent enough for him to push it away.By then, Damian was upon him again. The white flaming sword came right at Brad’s heart. “Celestial Flame Shock!” It pierced his body, but not where Damian had aimed. He went for the heart but missed it by a couple of inches. Brad still coughed out blood as the flames burned his internal organs.Brad was force

Amaal snapped his fingers. A few bats flew into the scene, picked Damian up and flew away toward the dungeon behind the palace.In one of the rooms in the palace, Rebecca was still awake, but the pain in her face and shin made it hard for her to sit in place. She kept moving, and she couldn’t even touch her cheek that was burnt by the candle-flame. The maids enjoyed watching her struggle.Seeing them laugh, Rebecca yelled in fury. “How can you monsters exist?” she still couldn’t believe that vampires were so real and also how cruel they were. “What are the governments doing?”Amaal flew into the room, with his hands on his back. “Governments…” His wings retracted back into his body. “If those big organizations are even remotely good, there wouldn’t be beggars roaming the streets.” He squatted down before her. “You look like you come from a rich family. When was the last time you helped a homeless man?”Rebecca couldn’t even think about his question because he looked so scary. Even tho

Thirty-nine days later.Amaal came to see his son in the dark cold dungeon.Damian was still very much alive; he glared at his dad, hissing, and baring his fangs.“You’re still very much aware of your surroundings,” Amaal smiled, standing outside the cold metal cage. “That’s the benefit we have as vampires, especially as pureblood vampires. We can go without food or even blood for much longer times.“One of the women you brought here, Rebecca, also didn’t eat anything ever since she was locked up. Well, it was us who didn’t feed her, and she started hallucinating and seeing things recently. She’s very close to going mad, and then I’ll have my way with her, but… if you’re willing to do it, I’ll give that chance to you. Will you redeem yourself by impregnating her?”Damian spat at him, but his mouth was so dry, no spit came out.“So, you still haven’t learned your lesson. That’s fine. I’ll let you rot here a few more days, and then you’ll begin to go crazy, too, in this darkness,” Amaal
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 315
“Let’s say you fought us and then managed to kill us all,” Amaal put forward a scenario, “and then what? You think the world will be rid of evil? You do know that evil is not in the world but in the people, don’t you? It’s intrinsic to all of us.”“I’m not in the mood to listen to your crooked philosophies,” Benjamin uttered in a heavy voice. He was still in his werewolf form, with his body giving off argent vapors. “Get straight to the point. What do you want in return for freeing my wife?”Amaal faintly smiled. “You sure are impatient, but I can understand. You are young and hot-blooded, after all.”Benjamin raised his hand and showed his claws. The beasts behind him began growling madly.“Whoa, chill…” Amaal raised both of his hands, showing no intention of being hostile. “I’m fully willing to give your wife back to you, but let me be clear. I’m not putting forward a proposal not because I’m afraid of you but because I have a lot more to benefit from it.”“And what’s your proposal?

At Sciocidad, the hidden floating island, where the Wolfe clan members reside. At the border, Benjamin put Rebecca in Mina’s hands. Mina couldn’t believe how poor and unhealthy Rebecca’s condition was, but she was also happy that Benjamin made it back safely. However, Benjamin turned around and started walking away. “Where are you…” Mina’s heart started beating fast. Benjamin glanced over his shoulder. “Take care of her. I’m going to close my eyes soon.” “C-Close your eyes?” Mina was confused. “What’s that supposed to mean?” Benjamin jumped off the edge without answering her. Mina couldn't go after him because she had to deal with Rebecca first. Mina took Rebecca to the clan’s oldest healer, Galen the Silent Healer, who was also her aunt with an age of 119, and quickly explained to her the situation. “Her pulse is extremely weak,” Mina worriedly said. “I think we should move her into the Med Bed immediately.” “No, right now, what she needs the most is sleep, and she’s getting

“S-She’s the woman Lord Benjamin has chosen?”“Why’s she so ugly?”“He chose her over Lady Rye? Lord Benjamin must be blind!”Dozens of teenagers had gathered around the bench where Rebecca was lying unconsciously.“You’ve seen her enough. Now, leave, so she can breathe!” Mina barked at them, and they ran away like scared little cats.In the garden, Galen and Rye were both standing, facing the south. Mina came up to them.Rye glanced at Mina with a frown on her face. “Are you sure he didn’t say anything?”Mina slowly shook her head. “He just left without saying anything. I told him to stop, but he didn’t.”Rye’s heart was ringing in her ears. “What is he thinking?” She couldn’t hide her anxiousness and began biting her nails. “He’s been hiding everything from me. And I thought I was his best friend. Does he think I will stop caring for him just because he refused to marry me?”Galen gently put her hand on Rye, trying to comfort her.“I’ve sent a message to Ryan,” Mina told them. “We w
