Son-in-Law: A Commoner's Path to Revenge Ch. 47 - Meeting
Blue and red lights lit in sequence across Jackson’s face. Each time his expression changed; it was as if he had been in a stop motion film.Loud sirens echoed, overwhelming the soothing chirping of the crickets.The cool breeze that night felt like no other. A sudden chill caressed Jackson’s cheeks, sending chills throughout his body. Shivers lingered for several seconds after the gust passed.Just thinking about what happened almost made him vomit.He held young Raios in his arms. Warm crimson fluid flowed endlessly from the youth’s wound. The intense smell made Jackson taste the metallic fragrance which remained in his nostrils after it violently infiltrated his nose.Even though Raios confirmed it, Jackson still couldn’t believe what he heard.The previous owner of the Fleeting Moon has died. An undisputed fact he couldn’t wrap his head around.Raios bled profusely in Jackson’s arms. If the ambulance took a little longer, he wouldn’t have made it.The paramedics provided first aid
Son-in-Law: A Commoner's Path to Revenge Ch. 48 - Rosalia Hynkel
Ophelia caressed Jackson’s head as she embraced him. Her soft voice tickled his ears while she whispered. “Hear me, Jackson. Ruby’s eyes are a dead indicator of the Hynkel family. She won’t do anything to you. But one thing makes little sense. Why would this girl act against you like this? Something else must’ve forced her…”***While Jackson thought of Ophelia Woodfield’s words, Rosalia approached him.Her intense stare made him shiver, although he knew she wouldn’t do anything to him.“I see… So, you heard of our family ties…”The girl walked around him before having a seat on the sofa. She gently patted next to her, urging Jackson to sit beside her.When he obliged, Rosalia smiled.“You are correct. I don’t plan on killing you… But you are wrong about something. I’m from the branch family, therefore, not your cousin…”Jackson did not know what one had to do with the other, and before he could ask her, the girl with the ruby eyes continued.“We, the branch family, protect the main f
Son-in-Law: A Commoner's Path to Revenge Ch. 49 - Escape
Rosalia resumed her stoic expression from earlier and let out a chilling voice. “Who is it?”“It’s Lester…!”The young woman looked at Jackson with intensity. She walked across the room towards the locked door, which Lester tried to pry open. Rosalia continued with the same icy tone. “What do you want?”“Is it done?!”“Didn’t you want him to suffer?”Lester Brown banged his hand on the door. “Of course, that trash humiliated me…”“Then don’t bother me and let me do my job…”“Haha! Excellent!”Rosalia put her ear against the door, listening to Lester’s footsteps fading out. She let out a sigh of relief and returned to her previous position. She looked at Jackson with visible frustration on her face. “What did you do to him?”Jackson uttered with a chuckle. “I took away one of his toys…”Within a few minutes, Jackson received a call from Elena. With her help, the medical personnel sent by his grandfather arrived and, in coordination with the girl, they snuck into the room.***Several h
Son-in-Law: A Commoner's Path to Revenge Ch. 50 - Rosenbaum Kingdom
In order for Jackson to reach Eastal, he’d have to go through the kingdom of Rosenbaum. Because of the harsh landscape and uneven roads, driving there was close to impossible.The kingdom of Rosenbaum had a royal train built a few decades ago, for allowing the nobles of the world to travel.They didn’t allow commoners to use it, instead they had to use the unfriendly environment of the ground, although they were the ones who built the tracks.It would take close to eight hours to travel from one side of the land to the other. Like anywhere else around the world, the position one got on the train could measure their wealth.For Jackson to get the tickets he needed, he first had to seek an audience with the Queen. Based on their meeting, he would assign a room and wagon.Just as Rosalia mentioned, she had trouble with directions and navigating herself from one place to another. Instead of taking him straight from Riverbank to the Rosenbaum kingdom, Rosalia took a detour, describing it
Son-in-Law: A Commoner's Path to Revenge Ch. 51 - VIP Wagon
In the noble’s eyes, the queen was a weak woman who couldn’t really rule a nation. He respected her father, but not her, and he showed it in front of every noble in the room.At that moment, he didn’t really care what would happen to Jackson and Rosalia. He just wanted to humiliate the young woman and gain prestige amongst his peers.He thought he could show everyone how a leader should rule. Brazenly, he commanded the royal guards, which garnered everyone’s attention for a while.A malicious grin appeared on his face when he put Jackson in his crosshairs. He thought little a disrespectful kid. He finally turned his gaze towards the young queen. “This is how you do it!”Just as a guard stepped forward, blood drained from his face when he met the queen’s gaze.“Hold it!”The previously soft-spoken woman let out a thunderous voice, freezing everyone in their tracks. The guards stomped their feet, and the noble let out a shriek.A glint appeared in the Queen’s eyes. She stared straight a
Son-in-Law: A Commoner's Path to Revenge Ch. 52 - Royal Train
With two bedrooms, a kitchen, various appliances and two bathrooms, Jackson and Rosalia relaxed in their VIP wagon. The massive living room had hard wood enameled with a preservative, making the floor sparkle. Large windows covered the sides, with bright sunlight bursting through.A corridor was the only thing separating the room from the exit. After all, people working the train should be able to go back and forth without interrupting the residents of the VIP wagon.Jackson sat by the window, looking outside at the changing scenery. Different hues of green as the landscape changed between forests and valleys.The ruby eyed girl watched him and grew bored as time passed. She laid on the sofa, staring at the ceiling. A sigh escaped her mouth before uttering. “What will you do when you get to Eastal?”“Well, for starters, I have to meet with the Hynkel family…”Rosalia giggled. “That shouldn’t be too hard.”“Yeah, well…”Jackson took out his mother’s pendant. The chain hung between his
Son-in-Law: A Commoner's Path to Revenge Ch. 53 - Sneaking Around
Sun shone brightly over the world. A serene landscape filled with an abundance of greenery and life got disrupted by the fast-moving train which went through it.The heavy, over the top luxurious machine raised dust in its path as it followed the tracks laid out for it. The ever-increasing speeds made its metallic plates tremble.After the initial threat against him, Jackson refused to stay on the sidelines while Rosalia risked her life. They didn’t even know what the situation was. Although they announced the heist through the speakers, it still didn’t convince them.If he wanted to take down the people who wronged him, Jackson wouldn’t run away. He had to take that step and prove to himself he could do it. Instead of holding up in a corner and hiding, he went straight at them. Rosalia sighed in frustration and went after him.“You can’t possibly think you can take them on…!”Jackson scoffed at the ruby-eyed girl. “I’m not an idiot!”Like a burst of air escaping her lips as a whisper
Son-in-Law: A Commoner's Path to Revenge Ch. 54 - Trapped!
Jackson gasped. He breathed a mouthful of air in anticipation.A man with a cloth on his face noticed the movement Rosalia made and turned his weapon towards her.To Jackson’s surprise, the ruby-eyed girl hit her target and smashed the light bulb. The pieces flew in all directions. It made a pop sound just as a bullet hit Rosalia, which sent her backward.In that brief second, it felt as if time froze. Jackson’s focus was on the girl and the floating droplets of blood surrounding her. With widened eyes and visible shock written all over his face, he rushed to grab her, missing her by a few inches.Absolute darkness once more enveloped the train cart.Rosalia made a thud when she fell on the wooden floor. She bit her lips to avoid letting out a shout of pain.Jackson didn’t let the pitch-black environment hinder him. He picked up the girl and went straight to the door without putting in mind the people after him.One after the other, popping sounds followed by ricochets and sparks on t

Ch. 70 - Locked Up
The policeman grabbed Jackson’s hand. With a solemn expression, he uttered. “Please come quietly. The homeless man passed away. I have to bring you in for questioning.” The young man stood next to the policeman with his hands crossed and a grin painted on his face. He rolled his eyes and sneered. “Serves you right!” Jackson remained unfazed. He didn’t commit the crimes they suggested, but he still felt a knot in his stomach. “I’ll go with you, but none of your claims are correct.” Without a single word leaving his mouth, the policeman approached Jackson and cuffed him. He then turned to the grinning young man. “We got him, young Master Bacco.” With hurried steps, the wealthy young man closed the distance between him and the overjoyed policeman, then smacked him on the head. He leaned to his ear and whispered. “Shut up, idiot! Just take him away…” “Y-Yes sir!” Right then, Jackson’s worries were justified by that minor exchange between those two. Instead of talking his way out of

Ch. 69 - Crimson
Screech! The sharp sound of the tires against the asphalt and burning rubber from the friction turned the heads of everyone present, horrifying them at the same time. Their mouths gaped when they saw a woman floating mid-air before she fell on the rough asphalt. She groaned and spewed blood, adding to the formed crimson pool. Jackson, without wasting a second, rushed to her side. “Someone call an ambulance!” He gently tacked her hair away from her face. The girl’s eyes followed his movement. Visibly frightened, she shivered. Jackson held her hand and patted her head. “It’s going to be okay.” His soothing voice brought about a calmness in her rapid heartbeat. Unable to believe their widened eyes, those present held their mouths with their trembling hands. Muffled voices of fright reached Jackson’s ears. “Hmph! What’s with the horrible acting?” Jackson turned in the voice's direction. He saw a haughty young man in a gray suit. He had just gotten off his sport’s vehicle. A gliste

Ch. 68 - Hynkel Estate
After a couple of hours in the autobil, Jackson and the others arrived at the Hynkel family estate. With no gates or fences as if it invited people in, the estate welcomed its guests. Although Jackson thought it curious, he more or less understood the meaning behind it. A warlord and a nefarious one lived there. Someone must be stupid enough to infiltrate for whatever reason. The Hynkel family openly showed its might. The road ended when a paved path started, which led into the estate. A garden with abundant greenery and fragrant flowers surrounded the buildings. Different sections divided the place. The current head of the Hynkel family lived at the upper level, whereas Rosalia and her brother, as part of the branch family, lived in the lower. Men and women wearing black suits patrolled the mansion and the surrounding areas, with gun holsters strapped to their chests. It served as a warning to anyone who thought of trying anything against the family. The rest of the family live

Ch. 67 - Eastal
The noble minister gargled in a pool of his blood. He laid on his stomach, unable to turn around. His face grew pale and the light in his eyes became dim.One could say it was because of the fear he felt at when Ulrich pounded him without remorse. It took but one punch to demolish his spirit.Queen Melina stared down at him from her throne. Silence brewed for several minutes until Ulrich stood next to Jackson. Then the Rosenbaum Kingdom’s queen spoke in an utterly bitter tone. “You, the minister of this nation, betrayed our people, broke laws and murdered innocents for your greed. As queen, I dismiss you from your duties effective immediately. You are to wait in a cell until the day of your execution.”She looked around and met everyone’s eyes, making them realize how serious she was. She then stood up. Just before she left, her voice echoed throughout the throne room. “Take this scum out of my sight!”Until this happened, her people and nobles thought she was just a figurehead not to

Ch. 66 - Queen Melina Rosenbaum
Jackson and the queen laid on the bed. She found comfort in his embrace as she caressed his chest with her finger. It followed a circular trajectory which tickled him.The two remained quiet for several minutes.A knock on the door brought them back from their haze.They both got up and dressed. Jackson went to the door. He knocked back and Ulrich pushed it open. His voice echoed through the crack. “Young master, there’s movement in the corridor.”Jackson adjusted his shirt and walked towards the queen. “Your highness. The people I told you about earlier seem to be more active now.”The young woman smiled, buttoned her shirt and walked towards the door. She knocked twice. Her thunderous voice sent chills down Jackson’s spine. “Open the door!”Just as it opened enough for her to go through, the queen slipped outside. Soon enough, the people Jackson followed appeared in front of her. Ulrich flexed his muscles and shielded her.“Hey, Ulrich, push this thing a little more.”Ulrich stepped

He paced back and forth. Once he reached the window, he slightly pulled on the drape, looking outside. The queen’s room was about twenty meters from the ground, yet Jackson couldn’t relax. Not only did he commit a crime by entering the premises illegally, but he found his way in the bedroom of the most important person in all of Rosenbaum Kingdom. After a few deep breaths to calm his nerves, he looked at the half-naked figure of the beauty sitting seductively on the bed, waiting for him to sit beside her. Reluctantly and at a steady pace, Jackson approached the queen. She couldn’t have been over twenty-five or twenty-six years old, yet she ruled an entire nation. No matter how one would look at it, Jackson couldn’t even come close to her magnificence. Their status was too far apart. Under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t be alone in a room like this. Jackson understood this, and didn’t lose his nerve. His goal hadn’t changed. Since he got the chance to tell the queen everythi

Ch. 64 - Wrong Room
Inches before the knife cut the woman’s throat, Rosalia blocked it with her dagger. The intensity of the two metals colliding with one another created sparks that flew in all directions.Rosalia’s reaction to his attack surprised the man in the cloak. After a brief shortness of breath, the man in the cloak regained his composure. He stared daggers at the ruby-eyed girl. “Why don’t you step aside, girl? I’ll give you a portion of the reward.”Uninterested, Rosalia jested. “Eh? Really?”With a grin on his face, the man in a cloak continued. “Yes, that’s right. Just look the other way.”With a smile painted on her face, Rosalia looked at the distressed Marcia. The woman took it as if the ruby-eyed girl would abandon her and closed her eyes, prepared to meet her fate.The man in the cloak walked past Rosalia, towards Ulrich’s wife. “Kahaha! The bounty is mine!”He raised his knife and forcefully directed it towards Marcia.Rosalia said nothing in response when she stepped in front of the

Ch. 63 - Shock and Suspicion
The dim flickering light just barely shone on the documents and photographs on the wall. Ulrich made out some of the pinned faces. From the corners of his eyes, he tracked Jackson’s movements.He did anything warranting attention. Instead, he took his time wandering around the cave, inspecting everything. After a while, he stood idly by with his arms crossed..Ulrich approached him and gently nudged him. “See these people? Mr. Minister is among them…”Jackson’s eyes widened. “Then, they are…”A gust of wind picked up and whistled through the cave walls.It wasn’t much of a disruption, but Jackson decided it was time to go. He got one last look at the pinned photos and left with Ulrich.The tunnel became narrow again. The path led them to a metallic gate, like the one they found before they entered. Maintenance was the only difference. It didn’t creak when Jackson pushed it.At first he flinched, thinking he would notify them of their presence. Once he saw that wasn’t the case, he sigh
