Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 452
Dahlia and Rye almost reached the edge of the continent, where there was destruction all around.The collateral damage of the battle between Benjamin and Pan had reached all the way to this place. The shockwaves from their fight destroyed countless trees, and the shrapnel broken wood pierced the flesh of many monsters and made them go crazy.Even though this was a bad place to be around, they had to stop not just because they were tired and needed to catch their breaths but also because there was a crimson mist floating near the border.The beasts that entered the mist came out like mindless monsters that were on kill mode. Their aggression was upped to the max, and they attacked and killed anything that moved in their sight.Dahlia was the one carrying Mina’s body after Rye had stitched it together.“What the hell is that mist?” Dahlia didn’t have a good feeling about it. “It’s messing with the minds of those beasts.”“I think the vampires deployed it so that nobody will be able to e

A couple of days later.Delle, the most obedient and punctual and also sane maid in the Sterling villa, brought coffee in the morning to Rebecca who was now basically staying on the balcony most of the time.Because she was feeling so cold from staying outside, she grabbed the coffee without hesitation.Delle was still standing there with the ceramic plate in hand, so Rebecca said, “You can leave.”“Um…” Delle went out of her way to speak her mind. “Ma’am, if you don’t mind me telling you this, I don’t think what you’re doing is good for you. It will affect your health negatively, and you won’t be able to look healthy when Benjamin returns.”Rebecca was surprised for a second. She glanced at Delle. “You think Benjamin would return?”“I believe he will,” Delle didn’t sound too sure, but Rebecca could sense some honesty in her eyes. Till now, nobody in the villa had shown this much hope for Benjamin’s return, except for Akash. Even her sister Veronica didn’t believe in his return anymor

The moment Rebecca left the villa in her car, Louis followed her. Bella had to stay in the villa to look after her children.Selena immediately called Brian on her mobile. “She’s coming. You prepared everything well, right? If this fails, I don’t think I can give you another chance. I’m already so tired of many people failing.” Because she was a woman with a high success rate in her acting career as well as in many things she put her mind on, she had been vexed ever since Benjamin came into the sterling villa and began to turn Rebecca’s mind.“I’ve prepared the perfect thing,” Brian assured confidently. “It’s a highly advanced humanoid robot that will be posing as Benjamin. There’s no way she’ll be able to spot any difference.”“A robot?” Selena frowned. “Are you fucking kidding me? She’ll easily be able to tell the difference when she kisses him!”“No, she won’t. As I said, this robot resembles humans in almost every aspect,” Brian said. “Their skin is also highly realistic. They can
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 455
As Dahlia kept fighting and destroying the demons coming out of the sea and also cast the crimson mist away, a new squadron of demons manifested in the clouds. These were all demons with big, scary features that even Akira was able to see, though she trembled at the sight of them. It was too frightening to watch, for all the clouds above their heads looked like enemies gathering to destroy them.Akira stepped back in fright. “I-Is this some sort of holographic technology that I’m seeing, or… are they all…”Dahlia took a deep breath as she looked up at the sky. “The plague of demons… that’s what they’re. They roam the world and bring destruction upon every city and town they visit in the form of light, winds and clouds. Even when an airplane passes through them, they harass the people in it in many ways. Most people don't even know that the sky is full of these things, though.”“W-Why the hell are they here now then?” Akira didn’t understand why Dahlia looked so calm when the figures i

“Y-You’re joking, right?” Rebecca really thought that the librarian was showing her wicked sense of humor.“Do you think the police would call me just to crack a stupid joke with me?” the librarian snorted aloud. “If you want to see his body, you should hurry to the scene before the ambulance arrives to take his body for inspection. That said, I suggest you don’t go. It’s not worth crying at a thief’s dead body.”Rebecca’s gut twisted. She raised her hand and almost slapped the librarian.“You can hit me if you want, but then I’ll put you in jail,” the librarian said with a smug face. “Then you won’t even be able to see your husband’s dead body.”Rebecca spat at her feet and rushed out.“Don’t you want to know where the police caught him?” the librarian asked, but Rebecca didn’t stop.After exiting the library, she called Brian and told him what happened. “Please, help me. Benjamin might still be alive. If he’s taken to the hospital, then he can still be saved.”“I will do everything

The next day.Rebecca brought Benjamin’s body and had it buried in the backyard of the Sterling villa. Though many people in her family objected to her, she threatened them she’d leave the family if she wasn’t allowed to do even this much.“Do you want to make us live next to a grave?” Elizabeth was the most vehement in terms of showing contempt. Her mother, Dorothy, also supported her, saying that she wanted to sleep in peace in her old age while also reminding Rebecca that she didn’t bury her husband Nolan in the backyard.Rebecca replied to Elizabeth's question with another question. “Do you want me to bury you along with Benjamin?”After that, Elizabeth had to swallow her frustration. Nevertheless, she still ran her mouth, saying, “I can’t believe that this bastard is going to bother us even after death. He truly is one of a shitty-kind.”Rebecca didn’t respond to such insults because she was out of energy, and the only thing that mattered to her right now was to build a nice grav

Brian greeted Akash and Veronica before leaving the villa. He also waved his hand at Bella and Louis who were on the balcony. They didn’t wave back at him, but he didn’t really care.“He’s a real piece of shit,” Bella uttered. “I feel like drinking his blood right away.”“Don’t,” Louis grabbed her hand, trying to control her impulse.Bella glanced at him. “You… Do you want him to be around your sister? After everything you’ve seen him do?”“No, but there’s no need to hastily kill,” Louis said.“Hmph, his life is worth nothing,” Bella snorted. “And when are you going to tell Rebecca that the Benjamin she buried is a fake? There’s just no way he would have died from a few bullets.” Though Bella and Louis didn’t inspect the dead body because everything except the face was sealed away after the post-mortem process, they still believed that it was a fake body. “I’ve never really talked with Rebecca all that much before, but I still feel bad for her. She’s gone through so much, and she does
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 459
In the present day, anyone over six feet would be considered tall. However, there was a time when a six-foot man was considered tiny. It was when the giants roamed the earth, and chaos prevailed over everything else.Rye, who has entered the realm hidden beneath the earth’s surface, known as the Hollow Earth, came across many depictions of stories on the walls. There were even statues of the likes of Gilgamesh who had likely come to this place during his quest for immortality very long ago.Rye’s path was full of bones of giants, monsters, and men alike. The smell wasn’t unbearable, but it was far from being pleasant.“These bones… if they fall in the wrong hands, they’ll use the DNA to create hybrids. I don’t want to waste my energy, but I can’t ignore this.”From the history that Rye learned, a lot of wicked things were done by those in power to gain military advantage over the enemies. Though there were no longer kings in the current modern society, the real power still was within
