Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 351
Rebecca was traveling in a bus just because she wanted to stay from the Sterling villa, and she thought she could spend time this way.Louis was also in the bus, but he was in the back, wearing a hood. What Louis didn’t know was that Alfred was also in the same bus. He was sent to watch over Rebecca just in case Louis couldn’t handle things by himself.Alfred sat in a spot where he could see Rebecca’s face, and she looked either sad or emotionless for the most part, but there were times she smiled briefly, making Alfred wonder what she was thinking about.Rebecca remembered the time when Benjamin and Rebecca entered a bus touring through a film studio for promotion purposes, and there were a lot more people in the bus than what the seats could accommodate. Everyone in the Sterling family sat down, except for Rebecca and Benjamin. Rebecca had offered her seat to an old lady, so she had to stand. Because of the large crowd, people were pushing each other around, especially to see Selena
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 352
Louis found it difficult to keep watching Rebecca cover more than five miles on foot. Even his hardened vampire heart stung a little when Rebecca stopped at a junction and couldn’t decide which direction she should take.“What’s she thinking about?” he could only wonder.Rebecca, however, was just trying to guess what road would take her closer to Benjamin so she could keep going in that direction because she had no intention of returning to the villa.As she was thinking, she remembered a short conversation with Benjamin. When they were traveling in the car, he asked her to let him drive her car. She refused. He then told her, “What are you afraid of? You think I’m going to take you south?” He said those words because the sterling villa was on the northern side of the city compared to Rye’s Pizzas and where Rebecca worked. So moving south would be the same as moving away from the Sterling villa. Was this Benjamin’s way of telling her his home was in the south?Thinking back on it, sh

Ryan had the key number 58.On his way there, he came across dozens of beautiful women, some dressed and some with no dresses whatsoever, some alone and some giving company to rich men.Ryan was old but not blind. Seeing the nakedness in great proportions bothered him, so he closed his eyes and acted like a blind person.One of the models thought he was really blind and offered help. She escorted him up to room number 58. “Thank you.”“It’s okay, sir. I was told to come to this room as well, so I’ll be serving you,” she said.Ryan opened his eyes.The way he looked straight at her face, she immediately realized he was blind. “Oh my,” she covered her mouth in pleasant surprise. “You weren’t blind?”“I wish I was,” Ryan said. “But anyway, you don’t have to enter this room.”“If I don’t, Josephine ma’am won’t let me get onto the runway,” she worriedly said. She was a golden blonde model with pretty looks. “Moreover, if I want to get paid for this week’s work, I have to listen to her.”“H

Area O.It was a research center mainly used to test the limits of organs. Before the world came to know about heart and liver transplants, the elites were already enjoying these services in this secret base.Ryan used the same key he had taken from Josephine to enter the base.Currently, a special type of hybridization of corn was being tested on rats and monkeys. Eating these corn would bring out the necessary emotion out of the animals. They fed two contrasting types of corn to the rats. One became extremely aggressive, but the other extremely passive and didn’t fight back even though its own life was in danger.The scientists were diligently experimenting, and today, they were moving on to the human trials. And they had already gathered men and women of all age groups and tied them up to their beds in the laboratories. They were sedated so that they wouldn’t be able to speak.“We’ll start with giving different types of corn to everyone,” the head scientist said.“Yes, sir,” a voic

It only took the pureblood vampires a fraction of a second to attack from either side to gain the advantage over Ryan while the clone distracted him. And their tactic worked. Ryan’s back was completely exposed now, and a pureblood vampire thrust his hand, aiming to pierce through Ryan’s bag and rip his heart out. “Got you!” Silver lightning burst out of Ryan’s body, creating a devastating explosion that destroyed half of the base instantly. The clone before him was surprisingly still alive, though he began to malfunction and behave weirdly, such as rolling his eyes and waving his arms without any sense. However, the pureblood vampires were just fine. They had compressed the lightning energy that came at them in their palms. Sealing the energy was one of their powers, after all. They could have swallowed it and gotten stronger if it was a simple form of lightning, but now, they couldn’t seal it for long, so they threw it back to Ryan. The compressed energy expanded fast, but Ryan li

Ryan, as promised, freed all the children in the base. Some of them were even brought from another state and country, so he ordered Rodnie to get them to their homes.Seeing hundreds of children coming out of a building would usually attract attention, but the building they came out of was not in the main street. Moreover, Rodnie used his own school buses to take the children away. So, things went smoothly, and nobody noticed anything abnormal.After the children left, Rodnie asked Ryan, “Are you going to destroy the base?”“I intend to.”“They have robotic drill machines and construction tools, so they can build a base much faster compared to humans.”“Still, destroying is easier than building.”“You’re right. Uh, what about Benjamin?”“Things are progressing on that side as well.”“Mm,” Rodnie could see that Ryan didn’t want to talk about it. “I hope he’ll return safely. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be off.”After Rodnie left, Ryan looked across the street. The young girl Leisha Ma

Louis came to meet Rodnie who was busy sending the kidnapped children back to their home.“I didn’t expect the Gray Ghost of all people to come to me,” Rodnie looked a little anxious because he knew the real identity of Louis. “I’m really busy right now, but what do you want? It’s not my blood, or is it?” He went out of his way to offer him a drink.“I won’t take much of your time. I just came to ask if you have any updates regarding Benjamin’s situation,” Louis didn’t refuse the wine. “If I can give something to Rebecca, she’ll feel better.”“I understand your concern, but I’m afraid I don’t know any better than you do,” Rodnie briefly watched the video on his desktop where it showed the kids getting kidnapped using vans with blacked-out windows. “Damn, these dates they kidnap on are all around festival times. Just what sort of crazy things do they do to these poor children? It’s all for their organs, right?”“No. It’s mainly for the blood,” Louis spoke, startling Rodnie.“Blood?”“W

Bella thought a lot about it.“I can’t decide what’s right or wrong for her, but if she has the vampiric powers, she might be able to do something. She has fighting experience from when she practiced wrestling when she was young, but that won’t be enough to fight the vampires she will come across when she goes out to get Benjamin back. Forget about standing in the presence of purebloods, it will take her a year or two just to be able to defend herself from my attacks.“I don’t see much benefit from turning her. She will definitely put herself in even more danger by going out to look for Benjamin, but that gives her a chance to do something.”In the end, she couldn’t decide by herself and went to Rebecca’s room. Selena was giving her books to read so she could pass some time, but Rebecca didn’t seem interested.“Mother-in-law, can you give us a moment?” Bella asked.Selena came to Bella and asked in a low voice, “She’s in a bad mood, so don’t do anything funny.”“Got it.”After Selena
