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

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

One day, Erwin came to the farms to check if his daughter was really doing the cleaning or not. To nobody’s surprise, she wasn’t even there. Only Benjamin and Neel were there.“Where’s Rye?” Erwin asked.“How would I know?” Neel shrugged his shoulders. “She hasn’t come to work even a single day.”“I told her I will work in her place,” Benjamin quickly said.“Oh…” Erwin was surprised. “So you’re doing twenty instead of ten, then?”“Yeah, we both handle the thirty farms,” Benjamin replied.Erwin didn’t look too happy. “I gave the punishment to discipline her, so what makes you think you can take her punishment on yourself?”“She was struggling to even breathe,” Benjamin explained. “She didn’t like this place.”“So? If she works here a few days, she’ll automatically get used to it,” Erwin said. “Did she at least thank you for your help, and take care of your meals?”Benjamin pursed his lips, whereas Neel quickly shook his head.Rye had been listening to their whole conversation from a n

Neel kept cleaning the farms alone for half of the day because Benjamin was going out with Rye for the other half of the day. She would take him to different places in the city and show him around. Whenever possible, she would fight him and then suffer a loss. Everytime she lost, she offered him more tamarind candy than usual.She won against every boy her age time and again, but Neel and Benjamin were the only two people she didn’t win against. She didn’t fight Neel even once yet, and she didn’t even think of fighting him because she didn’t like him. And she had no idea Benjamin was secretly sharing some of the candy with Neel, either.Whenever Rye’s friends met Benjamin, they asked Rye if she ever pulled his pants down. She pulled the hair of anyone who asked her such questions.Because Rye was spending more time with Benjamin than her other friends, they chose Dahlia as their new leader.Once her friends started avoiding her, Rye didn’t try to change their mind because she believed
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 344
Benjamin instantly turned into a silver werewolf and pounced on Edward like an angry beast. Edward was one of the strongest and most ferocious members of the clan, and his strength was no joke. Yet, Benjamin almost matched Edward in strength.The small house just couldn’t hold them inside for long. As they wrestled like wretched cats, they broke through the rooftop, startling the crap out of Roost and his family, making them skedaddle into the nearest bush.Benjamin and Edward viciously clawed at each other and crafted a melee Rye had never seen before. They were moving so fast she could barely keep up with her eyes. She knew the adults could move faster than her, but how could Benjamin keep up with such speed?They were bleeding from the wounds they gave each other, but that didn’t stop them. It was clearly not a match but a fight for survival. A fight Rye had never fought, not once in the past. She wished she could join and help Benjamin, but she knew about fighting enough that she’

The incident with Edward made Rye and Dahlia become completely aware of what level they were at compared to Benjamin and Neel.Wanting to get strong, they took Ryan’s permission and entered the sacred forest and spent many months there, fighting and training and pushing themselves past their limits time and again.By the time they came out of the forest, both of them grew so tall, they were a couple of inches taller than Benjamin and Neel.Rye, who had a neutral expression on her face, couldn’t maintain it after seeing Benjamin. She smiled and scuttled over to him and gave him a big hug. They exchanged kisses on the cheeks. It was evident she really missed him. He missed her, too.Dahlia copied Rye and ran over to hug Neel, but he kept moving back, which angered Dahlia. “H-How did you grow so tall in just a few months?”“Hahaha, I can now look down on you. I feel satisfied already,” Dahlia laughed and plucked the tamarind candy he was hiding. “You bought candy for me? That’s sweet of

Rye fought Benjamin every day and lost every single time. But she didn’t give up because she felt like she was closing the gap slowly but surely.When they reached 13 years of age, they were taught about the outside world and the dangers associated with the elites, the shadow government, and the vampires.Benjamin was especially told of his responsibilities by Erwin who was an accomplished scholar in the clan. He took private classes for Benjamin, and so Rye couldn’t spend time with Benjamin anymore, which frustrated her to no end.Benjamin was taught about the cultures and technologies of both the old and the new. He was taken to the dungeon and was shown all the criminals, some of whom were vampires. He was made to fight the vampires of all kinds. As he read the wolfe-clan’s exclusive books about history, he came to realize how messed up the world below was.Currently, Benjamin was sitting by a lake with rabbits and deers grazing in the background.“My predecessors tried to get rid

In the moonless kingdom.The scientists were time and again astonished by the readings they obtained from torturing Benjamin.“This guy is unbelievable,” Bob, the head scientist, said to the group of visitors. He was a dwarf with six fingers on each hand and had an abnormally long head like Brad Bundy. But because his head could be squeezed like a sponge, he came to be known as Bob the Spongehead. “We’ve tried to alter his genes, but we couldn’t corrupt his DNA strands. We’ve been extracting millions of volts of electricity from him for weeks to weaken him, yet his body keeps generating more energy. What’s crazy is that his mitochondria don’t show any signs of exhaustion. It’s as if he can generate an infinite amount of electricity.“Even the demons that His Majesty Amaal talked about didn’t seem to have had much effect on him. He’s definitely distressed, but his brain signals show that he’s still very much awake and aware of what’s going on around him. I’ve never handled a subject li
