Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 334
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

More than sixteen years ago.Rye and her friends were skipping in the backyard of her house. Rye reached the thousand mark faster than her friends, and so she won the bet and took the tamarind candy from everyone.The concept of a monetary system didn’t exist in the wolf clan. People just shared things with each other out of goodwill, as overseen by the elders and the city council.So, there was a limit to how much candy the kids could get their hands on. Naturally, the girls didn’t feel good after losing out so much candy to Rye. They drooled as she sucked on the candy.Seeing their pitiful expressions, she shared some of the candy with them. And they all happily sucked on the sour-and-sweet tamarind candy.“Rye has the qualities to become a good lord,” Ryan said. He was drinking grape juice with Rye’s father, Erwin, who was a tall man with a long face. “She’s strong and kind.”“Well, your son is there for that role.”“He’ll be the next sovereign, and your daughter can be the next lo

“Beat his ass to the ground!”“Break his front teeth! Make him cry!”“No. Tear his loincloth and humiliate him!”Rye’s friends yelled as Rye leaped at Benjamin. Before she could reach him, Neel flashed in her path and slashed his claws at her. But he missed.Neel was startled. (Ducked so fast in midair?)The moment Rye’s left foot landed on the ground, she swiveled and kicked at Neel’s waist. He was too close to dodge in time, but someone else caught her foot and stopped it.To Rye’s surprise, it was Benjamin who effortlessly stopped her kick. (He completely canceled my momentum? Not by blocking but by grabbing?) That explained why there was barely any sound when he stopped her foot.“So soft…” Benjamin kept staring at her foot. “I see no cracks.”Neel also stepped back and took a look. “You’re right. How rare.” Neel went a step further and poked the sole of her feet. “It won’t bleed if we poke it too hard, right?”Rye’s face turned into a ripe tomato at this point because one of her

“You should enter the med bed and get your knee treated, Rye,” Erwin told his daughter from outside the room. “I’m going out, so take care of yourself.”The sound of Erwin’s footsteps soon faded away.“I’ve been doing that for a very long time,” Rye mumbled and then got up from the bed. “I don’t need the med bed. I slept a few hours, so I’m already fully healed.” She cracked her knuckles. “Now, I just have to find that brat and defeat him, so that I’ll become the Sovereign! As long as I don’t beat him senseless, I think Uncle Ryan wouldn’t get mad at me.”She heard cries from her backyard.“What’s going on?” she swiftly opened the door and rushed out. To her utter bafflement, all of her friends were swooning over Benjamin who looked extremely cute now that his hair was neatly cut. Even Dahlia was pinching his cheeks.Rye’s stomach twisted.“Dahlia!” Rye cried out.But nobody cared.“Dahlia!” she cried out again.This time, Dahlia heard her and hurriedly made her way to Rye who was cle
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 340
After Benjamin and Neel let their scents be taken in through the noses of the two girls, they went into hiding.Rye and Dahlia then covered their eyes with three layers of a black cloth. They told their friends to leave, and then they hit the streets and employed their sense of smell.“Those idiots think they can hide from us,” Dahlia snickered. “I can clearly track them by their scent. It makes me wonder what they did in the sacred forest. Maybe they slept most of the time?”“Stop talking and focus,” Rye said.When the clansmen saw Rye and Dahlia, they stopped doing their work so that silence took over the surroundings. It was their way of making things a little easier for the seekers to find those that were in hiding.A few minutes passed.Rye and Dahlia were still roaming in the streets. “Strange… Why isn’t the strength of their scent increasing? It’s as if they’re keeping a constant distance from us.”“Let’s increase speed,” Rye started jogging. Dahlia followed the sound of her fo
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 341
Benjamin and Neel were scooping poop from the farms. Cleaning every farm in the city with just the two of them was not practical, so Rye allotted them ten each. Ten was still a back-breaking number. To make things worse for them, Dahlia was taking pictures of them with her dad’s camera, to humiliate them even more.“I wanted to spend some time with my parents. I can’t believe we’re doing this all day. How did you get caught?” Neel felt utterly frustrated.Benjamin didn’t yet tell how he got caught, so it only added to Neel’s frustration.Just after Neel collected poop from a buffalo, it excreted again. Neel got angry and kicked it in the rear.Dahlia captured that on camera and showed it to the owner, making sure Neel received plenty of scoldings.Day after day, Benjamin and Neel visited the same farms again and again and repeated the same work like it was a ritual.Meanwhile, Rye challenged the boys that had come out of the sacred forest and defeated them one by one.However, one of

Some days later.Sofia Myers ordered pizza from an apartment she had recently bought.And to her surprise, it was Benjamin who delivered it.“It’s you?” Sofia remembered him. “Aren’t you Rebecca’s husband? You both are having an official wedding soon, right? Why are you still working as a pizza-delivery guy?”“I have my reasons,” Benjamin replied. “And it’s more of a part-time job now.”“Okay, come on in,” Sofia told him.When he entered the apartment, there were over a dozen females there, smoking and drinking.“This guy is Benjamin, a mighty pizza-delivery guy who married a bald woman,” Sofia started making fun of him to make her friends laugh.Benjamin quickly countered her, saying, “It seems your husband has left you to your pleasures. I’m not surprised, though I might not have done the same thing.”Sofia gritted her teeth and threw her mobile at him.Benjamin caught it with ease. “A woman who easily gets angry will have a hard time obtaining a place in any man’s heart.”“Get the

“Why can’t I meet him once?” Lisa yelled at her mom. “If you’re not going to let him see me, then I’ll leave this house!”“You think I’ll come running after you?” Elizabeth yelled back. “Leave the house if you want! No one is stopping you!”Lisa then angrily left the house and walked away on her bare feet, crying and shedding tears.It had been weeks since she had seen her dad, and she just wanted to talk to him once more and know how he was doing, but her mother was not even letting her contact her dad.Lisa didn’t know for how long she walked, but her stomach started growling.It was twelve in the afternoon, and she hadn’t eaten anything.

In Sciocidad also known as the Sky City.“So she asked for more time…” Ryan sighed.He became the temporary ruler of the Wolfe clan.“Both Benjamin and Rye have left this seat, which is something that never happened before,” Ryan’s voice was gritty yet sad. “This doesn’t set a good example for the coming generations, especially given that we’re living in the end times.”“Don’t tell me, you’re planning on making someone else the sovereign?” Uzza quickly asked.“No, not yet,” Ryan replied. “We’ve lost a lot already. We can’t be wasting our people’s time or give them false hope. It is better to pick a new ruler, but I will wait a little longer.”Even though Ryan didn’t say it, Uzza felt that the time limit would probably be six months.“Come back soon, Rye,” Uzza wished in her heart.Elsewhere in the same city, in a dark dungeon.“With a friend like you around, what’s the need for enemies?” Benyamin was hissing at Dahlia as she poured her spiritual energy into Benyamin’s spine relentles

She slowly turned me around.Our eyes locked each other.
EPILOGUE
A few days later.At six in the morning.Rebecca woke up and found Benjamin resting with his head at her legs. “Benjamin, why are you sleeping the other way? You’re not a cat. Sleep next to me!”Benjamin rolled over to her side and lay next to her, sharing the same pillow. “Last night, I woke up for water, and then I saw the mole on your thigh, and I wanted to sleep next to it.”Rebecca’s face flushed very much. “Stop it, you are talking like a child!”“Aren’t we both still children in our relationship?” Benjamin gently touched her chin and planted a kiss on her cheek.Rebecca’s face gained some more blood. The same could be said for Benjamin. Both of them were fair and were in the prime of their age, so they appeared a thousand times more attractive when blood rushed to their faces.After Benjamin kissed her, Rebecca felt her emotions stirring up again. She pulled the blanket up and covered both of them and hugged him tightly and showered kisses on him.“I think it’s time for breakfa
CHAPTER 955
The moment blood gushed out of Rebecca’s neck, while her eyes were staring at him, Benjamin immediately snapped.“BENYAMIN~~!!”His roar reverberated through the hearts of all the people there, shaking their very souls.Benjamin’s suit was ripped to pieces as he grew into a mighty silver werewolf and leaped forth.In a flash, Benjamin’s claws cut through Benyamin’s shoulder and snatched Rebecca.Benjamin vanished from people’s sight and landed on the rooftop.Dahlia and Uzza took Benyamin and also vanished from there.Rye stood frozen, and so did Selena and everyone from the Sterling family. The guests were also thrown into chaos as a man had turned into a monster right before their eyes.Louis and Bella were quick to act. They cast a wide spell together, which swiftly erased the recent memory of this wedding itself.However, they did not remove the memories of those from the Sterling family.Almost every guest collapsed on the floor afterward, but Selena and others were still standin
CHAPTER 954
The wedding night has arrived on time just like the full moon in all of its splendor.Rebecca did not look happy because Selena did not send invitations to most of the people she should have.Selena didn’t want this wedding news to be spread around the world, either, so she tried her best to suppress it from behind the scenes.Jacob also played his part in doing what his wife wanted him to.Shawn entered the villa, wearing a disguise, as he wanted to see his sister’s marriage and also see his wife and kids once.The wedding was taking place in the front yard.Benjamin was standing in the distance, far from the crowd.Jane and Veronica brought Rye out of the villa. Dressed in dazzling white, she looked like the walking moon.Benjamin didn’t even look in her direction as his back faced the villa.Holding a bouquet of white roses and lilies, she waited for the groom.Moments later, Benyamin also walked out of the villa, as escorted by none but himself.
