Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 314
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

“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?
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 316
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

Two days later.Shadow and Ryan had bought a lot of items and now came to a butcher’s shop and ordered 100 kilos worth of chicken. However, the meat that was given to them was not fresh. It wasn’t soft and didn’t have the sufficient blood content in the flesh, so they were able to tell straight away that the meat had been frozen for weeks if not months.Shadow was already so frustrated with all the things happening, so he was about to kill the owner. Ryan stopped him.Ryan then warned the owner, “You’ll earn fifty to hundred percent extra profit by selling rotten chicken, but you’re playing with the lives of your customers by doing this. If I tell your customers about this, do you think they’ll let you live?”The owner, however, arrogantly said, “I’m not the only one who does this. Many restaurants do the same. I only sell rotten chicken, but they fry these rotten chicken in their degraded oil.”Ryan slapped the owner so hard many of his teeth flew out. “Don’t cover your wrongdoings b

“I’ll give you one minute,” Galen warned Rebecca. “Either you pick up those seeds and eat them, or you’ll have committed an offense against someone who brought you back to health.”Rebecca was very much surprised to hear those words. “Y-You nursed me back to health?”Galen didn’t respond and just kept staring.Rebecca had no idea how long she was out. Whether Galen might have really helped her or not, eating the seeds seemed like a way better option than scooping poop from barns. So she picked up the seeds and cleaned them with water before swallowing them with great effort.“The seeds can offer much more than the flesh of any fruit,” Galen said, “so you should eat them, crunch on them, not swallow them, or they’ll just be flushed out through the intestines.”“Uh, can I see Benjamin now?” Rebecca asked. “Where is he? Can you take me to him? I want to see him.” She felt like she had separated from him for a very long time.Galen and Mina briefly looked at each other. “I’ll show her aro

“Who are you?” these words flowed out of Rebecca’s mouth before she knew it.“Who am I?” Rye smiled somewhat angrily. “I’m the only one who can save Benjamin from the situation YOU put him in.”Stress formed on Rebecca’s forehead. “W-What situation?” The closer Rye got to her, the harder her heart pounded. She could already sense a slight hostility in Rye’s eyes.“Benjamin might have made a deal with the accursed Vampire King to free you from their clutches,” Rye hissed softly. “Otherwise, he would be here with us now, but he’s not here because of you. He has stayed away from his home for so long because of you. If only you didn’t exist—”“That’s enough,” Mina intervened. “Don’t say things you’ll end up regretting afterward.”“I’m only stating the truth,” Rye pushed Mina aside and looked right in Rebecca’s eyes. “I don’t know what sort of tricks you used to wrap Benjamin around your finger, but you don’t deserve him. Not one bit.”Rebecca couldn’t help but frown. She felt like her sit

At the Sterling villa.Many people from the neighborhood entered the villa and bought fruits and vegetables from the grocery store situated in the front garden. Amber was selling the groceries, and she looked like a happy woman, as if her dream had come true.Every customer had nothing but praises for her. Because the size and quality of vegetables and fruits growing inside the walls of the Sterling villa were so high, many people flocked to buy the limited natural goods.Many customers asked Amber, Akash, and every other person living in the villa how they were able to grow such powerful plants that could yield so wonderfully.However, everyone gave the same reply, “I’m sorry. It’s a secret.”It was Ryan who had built a cultivation mechanism that harvested the ethereal energy through antennas using high-conductive metals such as copper and replenished the magnetic fields of the earth, thereby promoting the growth of plants. So, the earth inside the walls of the villa currently thrive
