THE RESUSCITATED SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 205
Carlos had already spent a lot of energy during this fight, but when Leslie hugged him from behind and tried to restrict his movements so that Samantha could get a proper shot at piercing his heart, Carlos’ blood rushed like never before. He howled like a crazed beast and swiveled at the last second.Samantha’s eyes widened because her sword thrust right through Leslie’s heart first. She didn’t stop there and pushed the sword even further using all her strength, thus managing to pierce through Carlos’ heart as well.Both Leslie and Carlos coughed blood and collapsed forward. Leslie fell right on top of him.Samantha was huffing and puffing. She moved Leslie’s body to the side and could see her eyes, and Leslie’s eyes went back to normal and had no life in them. She already died. “I’m sorry, Leslie.” Samantha had known Leslie from a very young age, but she had to sacrifice her best friend to kill a monster, or so she believed. “I will tell Boss Butcher that your contribution was great

This wasn’t the first time that Butcher had received threats, but surely, this was the first time that he received a threat from someone who was weaker than him.“How dare a mere bloodsucker think he can win against me!” he smacked the box to the side. Samantha and Leslie’s heads rolled on the floor.“It seems I’ve lost my Slaughter Squad, which is completely unacceptable,” Butcher gritted his teeth. He was more worried about other powerful vampires attacking him because of him losing his squad. “Should I just go into hiding for the time being and come back when I have built a new squad?”Butcher haven’t been put under this kind of pressure in a long while.“Charles Wallace… I don’t know who’s behind you, but I’m going to kill you and everyone that’s backing you!” He smashed the table in anger and destroyed it. “I’ll hang your head in the underground city for all vampires to look at!”Meanwhile, in Myers mansion.Sofia was eating granola because she was trying to lose a bit of her wei
THE RESUSCITATED SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 207
Charles had been looking for Butcher everywhere. From one end of the city to the other, he went through every gang and hideout he knew. From the Snake gang that was influential in the north to the Bluestone mafia down the south, he didn’t leave anyone unquestioned.However, all of them couldn’t give him any valuable information.Charles spent a few days in Bones’ hospital as a patient suffering from stomach illness. He used his enhanced sense of hearing to see if he could find anybody talking about Butcher, but he didn’t get the results he wanted.“Just where did he disappear?”Charles couldn’t help but feel anxious.“Maybe, I shouldn’t have sent him such a blatant warning.”Fighting an enemy directly was one thing, but if Butcher were to attack him using other vampires while keeping himself hidden, things would get unnecessarily dragged and complex for Charles who was tired of even thinking about Butcher.The reason he was tortured by Samantha and Leslie in the first place was becaus

“Your recovery time indicates your fitness,” Akira told Charles as they were going in a taxi. The driver thought that she was cosplaying some fictional character or something. “You don’t have any injuries even though it hasn’t been long since you fought the Slaughter Squad. This is a very good sign. I think you can definitely stand your ground against a life sucker’s attacks.”Akira’s words boosted Charles’ confidence. “I heard they can suck the lifespan out of us. Is that true?”“Yep. But I believe that you can resist it better than I do.”“Oh.. but, wait, you haven’t awakened your blood, right?” Charles couldn’t help but ask. “How can you resist against Butcher then?”“Well, the black cloak I’m wearing is not your ordinary cloak, so… that’s how,” she casually replied.“Oh, okay.” To Charles, her cloak looked normal. “Tell me more about the city. What kind of people live there?”Akira glanced at the rearview mirror and made contact with the driver’s eyes and hypnotized him to focus o
THE RESUSCITATED SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 209
An underground city.Charles thought it would be more like a dungeon with a ceiling like that of a cave. However, when the elevator’s doors opened, he felt like he was in a world of its own. A dark world, where flame torches were the only sources of light.Regular humans wouldn’t be able to see past what the light allowed them to, but Charles was different. He was able to see everything that this place had to offer. The ceiling was thousands of feet high. And there were star-like structures embedded into the stone ceiling, though they weren’t glowing at the moment.It was like they were inside a dome, and the city before him was pretty big, too. He couldn’t see the end, but the bar owner kept bragging about the city and told them that it was over 16,000 square kilometers in area, and at the center of it, about 300 square kilometers was where the citizens lived. The rest of the area around the city was allocated to chimeric beasts.Currently, they were at the inner circle, where the Be

Akira left, and Charles took ten minutes to successfully disintegrate the food items into dust. However, he didn’t know what to do with the blood bottles.“Akira didn’t say anything about what I should do with these…” He was already used to drinking human blood using blood packets, but then Akira told him that the blood in these bottles was also mixed with aphrodisiacs.What she didn’t tell him, however, was that there was a lot more to this blood than Charles knew.There were three stars on the bottle, which meant that the blood was extracted after torturing and frightening a person for three lunations. So, the blood would taste much sweeter for the vampires, and vampires could easily get addicted to this sort of blood which generally wasn’t available anywhere else in the country. Thus, most vampires would choose to stay in this city for longer durations, which would benefit the economy of the city.Charles poured the blood in the bottles straight in the toilet, then flushed it with

“What are you looking at, bitch?” Theron’s gaze was cold as hell. The temperature dropped by a degree just from his intense, cutting gaze.“Calling me a bitch just because I was looking at you,” Charles sipped on the water. “I don’t like it. But if you apologize, I might forgive you.”The barmaids were stunned to hear that.“Does he not know who Theron is?” the customers began to talk among themselves.Theron was the descendent of the Garroway family, one of the six great families that rule the underground city. The Garroway family was known for their ability to manipulate ice. It was a secret technique passed down only to those within the family.Because Theron was a member of a great family, not just anybody would pick a fight with him. So, when Charles said he’d forgive Theron if he were to apologize, Theron felt happy and excited.A corner of Theron’s mouth curled up. “You want to forgive ME?” He raised his hand and snapped his fingers.PSSHH~~!!In a second, Charles got frozen i

Cinderella sniffed a couple of times and said, “Vampires that drink blood often smell like funeral flowers, just the same as those humans who are poisoned and are going to die sooner or later. It is one of the scents that humans in the past used to spot vampires and kill them. We are cursed beings, after all. We smell like a funeral. We smell like death.”Charles didn’t know why Cinderella was suddenly talking about funeral flowers.“But you don’t smell like funeral flowers,” Cinderella added. “It leads me to believe that you probably haven’t consumed blood in at least three nights.”“W-What are you talking about?” Charles feigned ignorance.Theron also looked at Cinderella. “What has gotten into you? Why are you suddenly chatting with that guy? Don’t tell me, you’re interested in him now?”Cinderella looked back at Theron. “If I tell you that I am, what would you do?”Theron grinned angrily. “You are doing this just because I refrained myself from fighting him. I don’t think someone

EPILOGUE
The next morning.Victoria woke up and did not receive a bed coffee. She went to the kitchen,only to find a letter there on the fridge.Cassey had written a letter and disappeared. In the letter, she thanked Victoria for her care, and apologized for leaving this way because she knew Victoria wouldn’t let her go otherwise.“The bats must have really scared her,” Victoria couldn’t really blame Cassey, but she was still angry that Cassey left without even telling directly to her face. “If she comes back running after a few months, I won’t take her in.”On the other hand, Gregory, having lost his argument with Victoria the previous night, brought a black magician to chase the bats away. However, they didn’t know this black magician was a fake. But that would probably be not proven because the bats would no longer attack the mansion from here onward.Sofia told her mother to prepare her multiple masks, one of which looked like Cassey, and others that looked like different people, including
CHAPTER 253
Many minutes passed since Sofia and others got stuck in the smelly basement filled with rat poop and what not. Moreover, these rats were the size of cats. From having eaten all kinds of roots and seeds in the garden, they grew very bulky, and they did not fear these four humans. They were more arrogant than the Myers themselves, as if they were the real owners of this place!As everyone waited with bated breaths, about an hour or so later, the music stopped. The sound of bats leaving reached their ears.“Did they leave?” Sofia wondered. She told Cassey to check on it, but Cassey was still feeling her wounds. She refused to go out.They waited a few minutes before coming out. To their relief, the bats were gone, and so did the guitar, but they didn’t care about the guitar.“Our mansion must be cursed,” Victoria looked at Gregory. “Do something.”“What do you want me to do? Bring some black magicians?” he yelled in frustration.“I don’t know! Just make sure they won’t even come near our
CHAPTER 252
In the middle of the night, Sofia was rolling around and slapping her arms every now and then because bugs were biting her. There was no fan or AC in this cottage. All she had was a hand fan, and her arms had grown heavy from waving the fan. Now, she was completely drenched in sweat, and this made it all the more difficult for her to properly sleep.She got up from the couch and shook her dress before walking out of the cottage. She could see the mansion in the distance. The words her mother told her a day ago came to her mind.“After the wedding was stopped, we didn’t care about anything. But your sister went to the catering guys and told them to give the food to the homeless. They went and freely distributed the food throughout the city in our family’s name,” Victoria showed the details in the newspaper. “This is good for us because the public opinion will surely improve after this incident. We’re doing our best to make those videos Carlos showed at the wedding are fake. Even if som
CHAPTER 251
After shooting Carlos eight times, Sofia ran away from the scene.Not only were there multiple witnesses, there was also a camera recording of the scene, which was provided as evidence to the police before the Myers family could do anything about it. So, the police began to search for Sofia everywhere.While Sofia was on the run, Carlos Wallace a.k.a, Charles Wallace was officially declared dead. And all those who knew him mourned his death.His story of Charles Wallace had become so popular it was printed in multiple magazines, and a popular writer had announced that he would be writing a biography of Carlos, and he requested some funds for researching in depth about the life of Carlos Wallace. Within just a few days, the author received thousands of dollars as funds from the interested public.Victoria and Gregory, on the other hand, publicly stated that they have nothing to do with their eldest daughter’s actions and did not support what Sofia had done. However, in secret, they mai

Sofia was too stunned to even talk or blink for that matter. Seeing Carlos had frozen her to the core.“C-Carlos!” Victoria shouted like a pig walking on broken glass. “Why are you disguised as Charles? What have you done to him? Where is he?”“He’s… standing right before you,” Carlos raised the face mask in his hand. “I’m Carlos. And I’m Charles.”Victoria’s eyes grew wider than the seas. The wine glass in her hand fell.“I’m Carlos Wallce. I’m Charles Wallace,” Carlos added. “I’m the guy that has been treated like a trash, not worth her time, by Sofia no matter how much I tried to please her, and I’m also the guy that she has fallen for because she believed she deserved me when I was a gambler who earns in millions every match.”Sofia still kept stupidly staring in gut-busting shock. (No! No! No! This can’t be true! This must be a dream! It has to be!) She refused to accept what was transpiring right before her eyes.However, why wasn’t the nightmare ending?Why was Carlos still sta
CHAPTER 249
Charles was preparing in his room all by himself. Someone knocked on the door multiple times.“Coming.” Charles opened the door only to get shocked to see Laurel who had wet eyes, and there was anger dwelling in her eyes. She entered the room without his permission and locked the door. “What are you doing?”She looked into his eyes. “Didn’t you say you can’t make a woman pregnant? Why are you marrying Sofia?”Charles maintained a straight face. “You will know soon.”“What do you mean I’ll know soon?” Laurel frowned.“That’s all I can say. If you leave, I’ll prepare for the wedding,” Charles said.Laurel clenched her fist. “I hate you, Charles. I wish I never met you.” Holding her tears back, she rushed out of the room.Charles pursed his lips and took a deep breath. When he looked at himself in the mirror, he hated whom he was seeing.Meanwhile, in another room, Sofia was looking at herself in the mirror with a bouquet in her hand, she felt so happy. Her mother kissed her and said, “F
CHAPTER 248
Almost a week later, the wedding day has arrived.The Sky Moon Hotel’s rooftop was chosen as the wedding venue. All the top three floors were reserved for 120,000 dollars for three days and nights so that the guests could stay at the hotel for three more days after the wedding.Gregory had to do at least this much because it was his eldest daughter’s wedding. Everybody that was given the invitation cards were also later sent Myers’ branded clothes fitting to their body sizes so that everybody who would come to the wedding would be wearing the clothes of his brand and his brand only.Though no press was allowed at the wedding, some private photographers were hired to capture every moment so that Gregory could later use the footage to market his brand all over the world. After all, many billionaires from around the world were invited to the wedding, and even more guests to the reception that would follow the morning after the wedding night.The Sky Moon Hotel was a 120-floored building
CHAPTER 247
Charles spent a few hours with Bob and Charlie, eating with them and buying them things. He parted with them in the evening.As Charles was walking back home, he thought back about his life. Many years ago, when he was very young, he was alone. Even after these years, that didn’t seem to have changed as he didn’t have anyone that would walk beside him.Charles was aimlessly walking, and he noticed a few men trying to look from an old beggar. They managed to take more than a hundred dollars from the beggar, but they still wanted more, and they began to rip his clothes, trying to see if he was hiding the money elsewhere.The beggar was old and weak, so he couldn’t fight back against the two youngsters.Charles approached from behind and grabbed their necks. They couldn’t move their necks, not even a little.“Give his money back,” Charles uttered, putting a bit more strength into his grip, and the youngsters quickly dropped the money. Charles then let go of them, and they ran away pretty
