Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 509
Denise and others were allowed entrance into the city of vampires, which was really big as a city with a domed ceiling that was thousands of feet high from the ground level.The city wasn’t in as bad shape as they thought it would be, but there were clear signs of battle near the border, which led them to believe that the rumors did have some truth to them.They were taken to the Lord’s tower that was in the center of the city.On the top floor, the lord of the city, Vril, was sitting on his throne in the shadows. Just his presence was domineering, and it made Cranston and Zakaria sweat. They dared not to lift their heads. Along with Denise, they kneeled and greeted him, “Lord Vril, thank you for letting us into your city.”“Denise Egor…” Vril had his head resting on his right fist. “What is one of the dragons of Torn doing here with the ancient weapon Mind Cube that’s supposed to be in the vampire king’s repository? What kind of shit are you trying to pull?”“I-I heard that this cube

Rebecca was eating alone in her villa. She was drawing shapes in the rice with her finger.Louis and Bella were watching from the first floor’s balcony. “Look at her getting lost while eating… When are you going to tell her?” Bella pinched his forearm. “She needs to know that Benjamin is most likely alive.”“I told you already that it does more harm than good if we tell her that,” Louis retorted.Rebecca drew the crescent moon shape, and it made her remember the time when she was looking at the beautiful full moon from the rooftop a few months ago, and Benjamin mimicked her by doing the same from the first floor’s balcony, but he was also looking at her often.“Why are you looking at me more than you look at the moon?” she asked, annoyedly.“If you look at the moon, you will have looked at the whole world,” Benjamin said, smiling, “but if I look at you, I will have looked at my whole world.”“H-Huh?” Rebecca didn’t quite understand the meaning behind his words. “You sure know how to r

Veronica joined Rebecca during lunch, but she was still angry because of what Rebecca had said the other day, so she didn’t talk with her.However, Rebecca herself started the conversation. “I get that you want to help me, Veronica, but I’m not stressed to the point I don’t know what I’m doing. To me, Benjamin can’t be replaced by anyone. He wasn’t just a handsome man. He was the sweetest soul I’ve ever met. His passing away left a gaping hole in my heart. And the rest of it is in a million pieces. The way he died makes no sense, and it hurts me even more. I wish I was able to do something. I wish I had done some things sooner. I’m fighting with my own guilt right now. It won’t go away just because I date some new guy. I don’t want my pain to go away like that, either.”“...So you want to keep hurting like this?” Veronica asked. “Do you think that makes sense? Do you remember this? Not long ago, during one of the nights, I was sleeping in your room. You woke up at 2 AM and started pr

It wasn’t just Denise but Zakaria and Cranston also froze completely after Emmanuel and Jezz Bell slightly released their aura.(I heard recently that these two were artificially created purebloods…) Denise frowned. (But the energy they’re giving off is no joke. It’s as if they wouldn’t lose to Vril, the king of Shambol. There’s no way I can fight even one of them, let alone two.)“You are the infamous pharmacist, Dust Egor,” Emmanuel purposely teased her, “or was it Dung Egor? Whatever it is, you sure are stupid for thinking you can get away with it after stealing the mind cube.”Denise frowned. (Shit. Are they here for the mind cube? I’m sure nobody saw when I stole it. I erased all the tracks, too. How the hell did they know?)“I can hear the gears in your head turning, bitch,” Jezz Bell’s voice was cold. “Don’t think of anything funny, and tell us where you hid it.”“I-I’ll take you to where it is,” Denise said. She didn’t want them to know that the Mind Cube was with the king of

Zakaria wanted to kill both Louis and Bella, but they were able to hold their ground against him.“Let’s go,” Cranston said and left the scene.“Tsk, consider yourselves lucky, crooks,” Zakaria blurted before turning into a blur and vanishing from their sight.Louis looked at Bella, whose hand was darkened because of blocking Zakaria’s technique. “He must have coated his nails with some kind of poison, that bastard.” Judging by how it managed to paralyze Bella’s arm, it was no ordinary poison. “We were able to stop him from stealing our life span, but if those guys come again, we’ll be doomed.”“I think one of us should take Rebecca to a safer place, somewhere no one can follow us,” Bella suggested.“Why would Rebecca come with me?” Louis asked.“She won’t. That’s why you should take her when she’s unconscious,” Bella said.“Let’s say I took her away from here, and those three vampires returned to this villa,” Louis said. “What then? In the best case scenario, they’re going to take yo

A few hours later.Night has fallen. Akash was sitting outside the room Veronica was in because he was not being let inside. He looked very dull because his parents were kidnapped, and his wife had fallen sick.“The doctor who said he’d come in the evening hasn’t come yet,” Elizabeth frustratedly said. “He must have been threatened by Andrew. Otherwise, he would have come.” While the others were silent, she was the only one yelling in the room.Selena, on the other hand, called Brian and asked him to send a trustworthy doctor.Brian said he would.Lisa and Roshan were watching television in the hall. Even though they didn’t put loud volume, Elizabeth scolded them and told them to go to their rooms. And they did.About an hour later.A new doctor came to the sterling villa. Brian personally brought him. Louis was standing at the gate. After Brian and the doctor went inside, Bella was coming out in a car, with her children unconscious in the back.She stopped at the gate and said, “You

Rebecca was sitting by Veronica’s side. She noticed that the swelling around her right eye darkened as if blood clotted there. Selena put her hand on Rebecca’s shoulder. “She’s going to be fine.” “What happened to her eye, Mom?” Rebecca asked. “It looks like someone punched her, but I know she didn’t get punched because I was with her all the time.” “Didn’t the doctor say that stress can sometimes do that?” Selena said. “That doctor didn’t come again, did he? How can we trust his words?” “You’re right. That’s why I called for a different doctor.” “Can we trust him?” “I think so.” Just then, Brian and the new doctor enter the room, as guided by the maid Amber. The doctor was a relative of Brian, but he looked more like a gangster than a doctor because his biceps would be at least 25 inches thick. And he was as tall as Shawn, so he looked like a standing rhinoceros. “My name is Bunny,” the doctor shook his hand with Selena, but then he wasn’t letting go of her hand and kept sha

Brian didn’t leave with Bunny but came back and talked to Selena in front of Rebecca. “It’s going to be fine. She’s going to wake up soon, I promise. Doctor Bunny is a highly capable individual, so I’m confident that he’ll cure your daughter’s condition.”“Thanks for bringing him, but I still find it difficult to believe that my daughter has been poisoned by parasites,” Selena pitifully said. “She’s someone who doesn’t even walk barefooted on the ground. So, it’s really baffling that she’s got parasites in her.”Brian’s gaze soon shifted to Rebecca who was gently rubbing her sister’s palm. He liked what he saw. “All of you are wishing for her recovery, so I’m sure your good wishes will come true.”“I hope so.”Meanwhile, Bella stopped by a gas station to completely fill the tank. Her left hand that was poisoned was still hurting.As she was filling, a couple of white vans suddenly entered the gas station. The doors opened, and half a dozen men stepped out.Bella immediately raised the
