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

Akira roamed throughout the town and people meditating and practicing martial arts bare-chested when the temperature was extremely cold outside.One of the locals saw her and said, “A vampire is not welcome into our place. If you don’t want to hurt yourself, I suggest that you remove yourself from our sight.”“Ah, I apologize,” Akira quietly walked away. She didn’t explore too much and returned to Dahlia’s side.Dahlia was waiting outside a house.“Where’s Rye?” Akira asked.“She’s had some business to take care of,” Dahlia said, knowing that Akira didn’t feel that comfortable when around Rye. “What about you? You came back early. Did they not greet you in a friendly manner?”“What makes you think they’ll greet me like I’m their friend?”“Well, they’re the type that believes that strangers might actually be angels in disguise,” Dahlia said. “So, they don’t treat strangers poorly.”“Angels, huh… I never thought that angels were real,” Akira sat down next to her. The wooden bench was su

Once Mina’s body was sealed up as per Dahlia’s request, Akira thought she could leave. However, Dahlia still stayed in this town, waiting for Rye to return.“Where exactly did Rye go?” Akira asked. “Can’t we go and help her if she’s late?”“I gave her two days, so let’s be patient,” Dahlia said with a smile.“How can you smile in this situation?” Akira muttered under her breath. “I’m feeling very tense because the locals have been giving me cold looks. And they seem to have strange technology that can probably help them fight against vampires. Otherwise, they wouldn’t so blatantly show hatred and hostility toward me.”“The vampires have brought much trouble upon them, so it’s just cause and effect,” Dahlia said. “What goes around comes around. Even though you didn’t directly harm them, they still hold a grudge against all vampires. They can sense the danger you possess from your energy.”“My energy?” Akira raised her brows.“Your thoughts are negative toward them, and they can sense t

“I have cancer?!” Elizabeth’s mother, Dorothy, almost passed out from hearing the news straight from the family doctor of the Sterling family who had come to check upon Rebecca’s health and then ended up checking Dorothy’s health because she said she was having constant headaches. “It’s still in the middle stages, so it’s curable,” the doctor said. “You don’t have to worry. Just follow the treatment methods I suggest, and you’ll get completely healthy in a few months.” Saying that he wrote some medicine for her and then left. Dorothy began crying, and her grandchildren, Lisa and Roshan comforted her. “I wanted to grow old enough to see you two get married and have children,” Dorothy told them. “Now,I don’t think I’ll live that long anymore.” Her words made the children cry. Just then, Lisa remembered something. “Grandma, a few months back, I wrote an essay on cancer. Uncle Benjamin helped me write the essay. Let me bring that to you.” “Benjamin wrote it?” Dorothy shook her head. “
