Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 329
Benjamin, his clone, to be precise, brought Rebecca to the rooftop where there was a casket. He put her inside the casket and shut the lid.“If I can continue making her believe that I’m Benjamin and then impregnate her with Amaal’s semen that he stored inside me,” he touched his belly, “my job will be done. It’s a short life, but I’ve gotta do what I’m made to do. My maximum lifespan is three years anyway.”He was about to pick up the casket, but a figure appeared in his view. He moved his head back immediately. In doing so, he dodged from a sword that could have sliced his neck off.The one who was wielding the short sword was Mina.While Benjamin’s back was bent, he pointed his finger at her. Bullets were blasted at her face.Mina blew air through her mouth, which traveled like a spiral and not only stopped the bullets in track but struck Benjamin’s body and crashed him down to the floor, forming many cracks on the rooftop, lifting up dirt.Benjamin ground his teeth. “That hurts.

Somewhere inside a railway tunnel.Zakaria and Cranston came out through a hidden door. Both of them looked quite tired.“You think he’s dead by now?” Zakaria wondered.“The water pressure alone would have long choked him to death. We might have lost Area Z, but it’s worth it since we’ve taken a strong opponent down.” Cranston started smoking a thick cigar. Zakaria saw that and snatched the cigar and took a couple of whiffs.Cranston asked for the cigar, but Zakaria refused to give it back.Both of them soon started wrestling for the cigar because it was the only one left. Even though they could hear a train coming, they didn’t stop fighting. Just when the train was passing by, the cigar flew out of their hand and ended up getting destroyed by the train. Both their faces turned ashen.And they resumed their fight. Even after the train left, they didn’t stop clawing at each other much more viciously than a pair of pissed-off cats would.Suddenly, the ground tremored.“What the hell?” t

The next day.The broken walls of the Sterling villa were being repaired by workers brought by Dewar. He had been lingering around the villa as he had no other place to go. He started working under Rodnie a month ago in return for protection from the Sehla family.Amber didn’t stop selling vegetables and fruits despite what had transpired at the villa. Akash also worked hard in the garden as he had been doing everyday.Shadow had been sitting on the rooftop since his return to the villa. His senses took note of everything crossing the perimeter walls of the villa. Not even an ant or a fly could escape his senses that were spread throughout the villa.Louis and Bella came up to him from behind. “Can we talk?”Shadow opened his eyes. “What is it, Gray and Black Ghosts of Phantom Creed?”“The Phantom Creed we know is dead now that Butcher Bones is dead,” Bella quickly replied. “We’re free now. Radicals, as some prefer to call us.”“I wouldn’t be so sure if I were you,” Shadow thought bac

Two days later.Ryan came to the Sterling villa. Mina greeted him with great anticipation. “Did they agree?”“Why would I come here if they did?” Ryan slightly tightened his grip on the walking staff. “Since I’m here, you can go back.” He saw Selena in the distance. She had gotten a nose job and looked like she previously did.Diana Pennell, an old friend of Selena, asked her, “Is it true that your eldest daughter got married like a year ago and you all kept it a secret?”“Haha,” Selena awkwardly laughed. “We have our reasons.”“What reasons?”“I’d rather not talk about them now.”“Then can you tell me why you’re not acting anymore?”“Andrew Sehla,” Selena cursed him with no hesitation. “That old fucker’s making all the producers not approach me. Even the ones I’m close with are avoiding me. My husband is also facing the same issue. We can only be patient and wait for our time. When I get the chance, I’ll dig a dildo down his ass.”Diana was a bit confounded. “Shouldn’t it be ‘shove o

Diana Pennell didn’t leave the villa. She stayed and kept showering Selena with questions. What happened to Rebecca? What happened to her looks? Her hair? Her physique? And why was she crying like it was the end of the world?Selena came up with a ridiculous story that Benjamin had been making her daughter’s life difficult, and that Rebecca just wanted to talk to him once again so she could decide if she needed to get a divorce or not. Selena thought her ‘little’ story would kill Diana’s curiosity and make her leave, but no. Diana decided to stay for a little longer.Selena wanted someone to take Diana away. She couldn’t bring herself to ask Akash to do it, but then she saw Dewar eyeing Amber, so she told him, “If you remove Diana from the villa, I’ll help you get some points with Amber.”“Deal!” Dewar said and then actively irritated Diana by sticking close with her, making her believe as if he was ‘really’ interested in her. As a married woman with two grown children, she felt anxio

Ryan didn’t come out of his room, but he was able to hear what most of the people had been speaking within the walls of the villa.Some of them had nothing good to say about Benjamin.From Elizabeth and her mother to Lisa and her brother, they were cursing Benjamin, saying that he was responsible for Rebecca becoming like a beggar. All of them had asked Rebecca to eat or at least get some saline solution into her body, but she refused. Every time she turned down their help, it made them angry.“Where the hell is Benjamin?” Veronica asked her sister. “Tell me. I’ll grab him by the ear and bring him here.”Rebecca was too tired to argue with anybody, so she just stayed silent on the bed, as if she was waiting for the inevitable death.Veronica took her mother out of the dorm building and said, “Mom, if we don’t do anything, she’ll die in a day or two! We should use some sleeping powder or something to knock her out, and then we can treat her.”Selena was pleasantly surprised. “That’s a

At Sciocidad.Galen sang songs and played a long-necked guitar at the same time, in front of more than fifty children aged below ten.“A world whereCubs playGrasses swaySeekers prayFools frayDonkeys brayWolves preyAnd lions sayIn their own wayIs the oneWe all live in.”Once a song finished, she explained its meaning to them in just as soothing a voice.“The drift of this song is this, little flowers…” Galen expounded on her song. “Cubs are children like yourselves. Grasses are the people who do their job and move according to the way the world pushes them. Seekers are the religious ones with faith. Fools are the ones who rub themselves and fight and quarrel with others. Donkeys are those who work extra hard for everything. Wolves are those who prey upon the rest be it in groups or alone. And last but not least, the lions are the ones that speak through their actions. All these beings breathe the same air, but they all live and act in their own ways, every soul unique in its

Rebecca woke up to find herself feeling a bit rejuvenated. She had no idea how long she slept, but it was morning at the time. Selena was sleeping on the only other bed in the dormitory.Though Selena and Veronica had taken away all the clues that might let Rebecca know they injected her with saline solution, they still completely forgot about the band-aid the doctor had stuck at the jabbed spot.Because of this, Rebecca was able to tell that they injected something into her body while she was sleeping. And it infuriated her.Not wanting to stay around her family, she walked out of the villa and hit the road. It was so cold outside with snow everywhere, but she didn’t even have a sweater on.Ryan was observing this from his room. “Where is she going this early in the morning? Mina and Shadow have left. I guess I have to follow her now.”While keeping his distance, Ryan followed her.Rebecca went to what Ryan thought were random places, but he had no clue that she was actually visiting
