It wasn’t until after Rebecca took Benjamin in her car that Selena believed what Benjamin had said was true.“Unbelievable…” Selena could only frown as her daughter’s car left. “I must do something before her love deepens for him.” She shook her head. “I cannot have a pizza-delivery guy as a son-in-law no matter how good looking he is.”Meanwhile, Benjamin looked happy as a monkey with bananas as Rebecca was driving the car. He was still in the back seat, but he didn’t complain or feel bad about it.“You’re really taking me along,” he said.“Why wouldn’t I?” she replied. “I always keep my word.”“Mm. Mm.” Benjamin nodded twice. “I’m proud of you.”Rebecca raised her eyebrows as if what he said sounded like a little bit of a joke to her. How can someone in a lower position be proud of someone in a higher position when both are not really bonded yet?“I’m thankful for this,” Benjamin added. “In return, I will take you to the north pole and all the hidden islands down the south.”“You me
When the red Porsche stopped at Rye’s Pizzas, the delivery guys that were outside naturally looked at the beautiful car.But then Benjamin stepped out of the car, leaving them slack-jawed.On top of that, Benjamin waved his hand as a sign of goodbye, which Rebecca didn’t like because he was acting like her equal.Still, not wanting to make a scene in front of others, she quietly drove away.“Brother Benzie, who's that chick?”“How the hell did you manage to get such a rich lady to fall for you?”Benjamin just laughed at their words and said, “She’s my boss.”“Your boss?” They looked at each other. We didn’t get you.”“I work in her house, so she escorted me to work,” Benjamin replied.“A boss is dropping her employee at work?” They looked shocked and doubtful. “You expect us to believe that?”“She’s just that good of a person,” Benjamin reasoned with them.“Or, both of you must be doing it in secret,” some people teased Benjamin.“You’re all thinking too much,” Benjamin said and then
The door opened.Two blue-haired men, who were both 190 cm tall, stood before Benjamin. Both of them had dog tags which the military guys would use. “Why do you press the button so many times and annoy a busy couple?”“You two are a couple?” Benjamin raised his eyebrows. “Who are you kidding?”“You don’t believe us?” Both of them quickly kissed each other, which made Benjamin look away. “Why are you disrespecting us? Don’t we look like a cute couple to you?”Benjamin raised the packages in his hands. “I’m here to deliver these.”“But we didn’t order any pizzas,” they said simultaneously.“I’m sure the delivery is to room number A-113,” Benjamin said, showing them the number on their door as well as the number on his phone.“I think you got the address wrong. Two rooms away, they are having a party, so you should go to A-111 instead,” they said.“Give me a second,” Benjamin then called Christopher and told him the issue.“You can’t even deliver properly for once?” Christopher sounded a
The man in the purple suit quickly took his gun out and shot at Benjamin.Benjamin rushed forward, dodged the bullet and caught the gun and disarmed the man in the suit.Benjamin now held the gun.“W-Wait,” the man in the suit quickly raised his arms, and everyone else in the room also looked very tense right now because they had no idea who Benjamin might shoot at. So, none of them moved. “Do you know who I am? I’m Lilian Lux, the son of Nelson Lux. My dad is a senate member, and he owns multiple conglomerates. If you touch even a strand of my hair, you’re basically dead.”“So if I’m going to die anyway, then why should I let you live?” Benjamin asked, pointing the gun at Lilian.“W-Wait, I’ll give you money,” Lilian put his hand in his pocket and took out his purse. “I’ll give you my credit card. You can use it as much as you want.” As he took his purse out, something else fell out of his pocket. It was a small packet full of white-blue pills.“Are those pills drugs?” Benjamin asked
“Stop!” The two big men immediately attacked Benjamin. For human standards, they were strong, but Benjamin slapped one with the back of his hand and sent him spinning to the floor. The second one stopped and stepped back in a bit of trepidation. He didn’t expect his partner to lose so easily.“Your partner is hugging the floor, and you don’t look sad or worried at all,” Benjamin uttered. “As I thought, you were just faking it to fool me before, weren’t you?”“H-How did you get into this place? Young Master Lilian shouldn’t have let you in. What did you do to him?”“The hour of disaster has come upon him,” Benjamin replied, “and all of you.”The big man turned around and began to run away.Benjamin kicked a metallic object on the floor. It flew and hit the big man, making him fall.“The essence of life is not in children’s blood,” Benjamin blew air at a shelf full of vials and powder packets. And they all caught on fire. “It is in love, which is clearly missing in you people.”After de
Rebecca stopped the car by a mobile vehicle where they were selling papayas, melons, and watermelons.“I will buy for you,” Benjamin quickly said.“No. I will pay for myself and for you as well,” she said. “Eat what you want, but don’t argue in front of others.” Saying that she got out of the car.She picked 2 watermelons, both of which were nearly thirty pounds. Benjamin took care of putting the melons careful in the car boot.Rebecca bought a glassful of cube-shaped watermelon pieces and ate them with the help of a fork. She was spitting the seeds out.“Don’t waste the seeds,” Benjamin told her while he also ate watermelon along with the seeds.“Eat the seeds?” she frowned. “You can’t be serious.”“There’s so much nutritional value in the seeds compared to the rest of the fruit. You are better off eating the seeds and throwing away the rest,” Benjamin said.For some reason, his casual confidence was convincing.Rebecca crunched on a few seeds, and they didn’t taste sour or anything,
Rebecca came to her room. Benjamin was bathing, so she had to wait.After he came out, she told him, “I’ll go first from tomorrow. Remember that.”“W-What? What if I came home early?” Benjamin asked.“You won’t. I’ll be picking you from work every day,” she replied.“Y-You will?” Benjamin’s heart fluttered for a second. “Why? That wasn’t part of the bet.”“I have my reasons,” she said. “Just make sure you don’t make me wait at your shop. I hate waiting.” Saying that she entered the bathroom.Benjamin was all smiles. “I’ll ask her to take us to a restaurant tomorrow,” he thought. He didn’t yet share a meal with her, so he was really eager to do it.Benjamin then came out to the balcony to get some fresh air. Because the sun had gone down, the breeze should be cooling off, he thought, but Bella and Louis were also there, comfortably sitting on a lawn chair.Amber was serving them raw red beet juice. Louis and Bella were currently in their vampire forms, but they had cast an illusion on
At Lux hospital owned by the Lux family.Lilian was talking with some people on his mobile. “I can’t move my fingers. I can’t even feel them.” His fingers were all swollen like he was suffering from some disease. They became very sensitive, so much so that even if someone were to blow air onto his hand, he’d cringe from pain. The doctors couldn’t explain the cause for this even after they ran multiple tests. “I want you all to bring this guy to me and then kill everyone in his family and relatives. I want them all dead.”All the people he was video-chatting were wearing masks, no in reality but through filtering.“We are already looking into that guy,” one of them said. “Rest assured, we won’t spare him. But there’s no need to go after his family, too, and make this a bigger scene.”“What if he told his family members what he knew?” Lilian blurted. “We don’t even know how he knew about the swamp. He even knew about cloning. Who knows what else he knows? Is he an ex-military that worke
