A few months ago. Rebecca came to Rye’s Pizzas in the evening, and she took Benjamin in her red Porsche. “Don’t wear sunglasses, ma’am, they’re not good for your health,” Benjamin said, sitting in the back because she wouldn’t usually let him sit next to her. “Don’t I look cool when I’m wearing them?” Rebecca asked. “Yes, but… you wouldn’t want to harm your health just to look good, would you?” he asked. “Your sister eats whatever she wants, but you think three times before putting a spoonful of ice cream in your mouth. Why is that?” “Because sugar is very bad for you,” Rebecca answered quickly and proudly. “I get my natural sugar from fruits, so I avoid junk food, especially ones that are addictive.” “That’s right. You used discretion there and stayed off from bad sugar products. Sunglasses fall in the same category. They are bad for your eyes. And anything that’s bad for the eyes is bad for the whole body.” Rebecca paused for a second. “So you're telling me, I shouldn’t wear s
A couple of days later.Something felt good as Veronica opened her eyes in the morning, thinking Akash was up to something naughty again, but she found Roja massaging her legs. She immediately sat up. “W-What are you doing?” her legs and feet were completely covered in thick oil, which offended and grossed her out.“I’m helping the blood flow all over your body,” Roja said. “A good foot massage will heal the whole body. Castor oil massage is especially good for health.”Veronica, however, couldn’t understand a single word Roja said. “No. I don’t need you to massage me!” She got up from her bed, but the moment she put her foot down, she slipped and fell back on the bed. “Kyaa! I thought I was gonna die! Just how much oil did you apply on my feet!” she fumed at Roja.“I-I’m sorry,” Roja apologized and then tried to wipe Veronica’s feet clean with a towel, but Veronica didn’t let her.“You’ve done enough!” she pulled her legs away. “Just leave!” she waved her hand, demanding Roja to leav
Veronica’s troubles only kept piling up thanks to the omnipotent presence of her mother-in-law everywhere in the villa, except the bathroom.What Veronica hated more than anything was that for the past two days, Roja kept cooking her country’s dishes which were too spicy and oily for her liking. The maids, Kathy, Amber, and Delle didn’t cook any native dishes, which forced Veronica to eat the food that was made against her will.Naturally, she couldn’t eat much.Seeing her daughter suffering, Selena stayed calm because this was all her plan. She wanted Veronica to snap at Akash’s parents and even Akash if possible.Eating foreign dishes that she didn’t like for six times straight made Veronica reach her limit.The next morning, she saw foreign breakfast again. She had enough. She took Akash to her room and told him, “Do I not have the freedom to eat what I want in my own house?”“What’s wrong, Veronica?” Akash looked clueless. “What happened?”“Can’t you see that I don’t like your cou
Shadow received the message that Benjamin returned home, but he also received another message, which was to clean his heart before coming home.Unlike others, Shadow’s powers were based on darkness. Because he fought the Vampire King, he was advised to clean himself first, which made Shadow take a special journey.He went to the underground Catacomb city, where the lizard people lived. He spent two entire days and nights there in disguise without killing or fighting anybody, even though a lot of evil things had taken all around him. It was quite an emotionally and mentally draining task because he hated what he was seeing but couldn’t act on it. He had to suffer and be patient, regardless of what he saw, whether it was watching human slaves get treated like crap or the other heinous things the lizard people were doing. They were all continuously evil, and Shadow could not stay there any more than two days.Whenever he was about to lose control, he remembered Ryan’s teachings: If your
The Infinite Dungeon was known to have the most powerful herbs and also the most amount of gold and silver stored in it.This dungeon was located deep below Catacomb city. Anybody who committed a crime would be thrown into the dungeon, from which they wouldn’t ever return.After all, the infinitely complex dungeon was full of venomous creatures that thrived in the dark, with Granma being their ruler.Granma was a giant spider with horns, which the lizard people considered to be the most powerful creature in the world. Some even considered it to have created the world itself because it was capable of using supernatural powers.Every month, the kidnapped humans would have one of their limbs get broken and then get thrown into the dungeon as sacrifices to appease Granma, so that it wouldn’t leave the dungeon and come after the lizards. The sacrifices thrown in the dungeon were called the birdies, symbolizing that a fallen bird would fall prey to the spider that rules under heaven.Curren
Shadow faced an onslaught of elementary attacks from every direction, which forced him to unleash a powerful defensive as well as offensive movement technique. “Eight Immortal Step Seal!” Based on a legendary ancient beggar’s martial arts, every step would create increasingly powerful shockwaves that would inspirit the surroundings with energy that would add up to form a barrier impossible to escape out of, for it would be able to absorb energy almost infinitely. This was a technique often used to seal off extremely dangerous creatures. Once trapped in the barrier, any beast would be put under increasing pressure as the barrier shrinks until their body wouldn’t be able to bear anymore and explode. Trying to destroy the barrier from the outside would only speed up the shrinking of the barrier. Shadow managed to trap almost all of the tiny spiders inside the translucent barrier that immediately kept putting a lot of pressure on the spiders inside. They cracked and broke under pressure,
Akash woke up in the morning, and he was told to do most of the household chores, not just by Selena and Elizabeth but also by the maids. They didn’t tell him to cook because he didn’t know how to cook.Nevertheless, he was sent out to buy milk, eggs, and meat, but he wasn’t allowed to drive a car. He had to go by foot, and the excuse Selena gave him was that the Sterling family can’t afford to use petrol unless really necessary. Though she said that, she would only use a car every time she went out.When he came back with milk and eggs, he was told to water the plants, and he did. He was then sitting at the dining table, but then Elizabeth told him to go and massage Dorothy first.Akash was honestly hungry and tired at this point, but he didn’t want to fight against Elizabeth’s loud mouth. So, he had to do what she told him to do. After he massaged Dorothy for almost half-hour, his hands were hurting so much he wanted to rest, but, no.Elizabeth again came and told him to help Kathy
Elizabeth was so shocked she couldn’t move. Even though she kept bleeding, she did know what to do at the moment. Nobody had treated her like this before. She was not just shocked but also greatly enraged.Akash, on the other hand, frowned. He didn’t intend for her to hit the table and get wounded like that. He wanted to help her, but at the same time, he shouldn’t do that because he was the one that just hit her. He looked at Veronica and said, “What are you doing standing there? Take a towel and press it against the wound. You must stop the bleeding. I’ll call for a doctor.”“Y-Yeah,” Veronica hadn’t encountered such a situation before, so she was very late to react. She grabbed the napkin off the table and put it on Elizabeth’s wound and helped her get up to her feet.“You’re dead,” Elizabeth told Akash in a shaky but vengeful voice.Moments after Veronica had taken Elizabeth to her room, Akash saw Shawn coming out of the room, while glaring at him.“How dare you injure my wife?” S
