Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 478
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
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 480
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
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 482
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
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 483
Akash was taken to a separate room. When Veronica finally came and saw him, she grew angry, but what could she do to her own elder brother? The best she could do now was apologize to Akash for what her brother had done to him. “I’m sorry.”Akash didn’t feel any better after hearing her apology because it felt like her words lacked substance.Soon, the family doctor came and treated Elizabeth. Veronica went to the doctor to bring him to Akash’s room as well, but Elizabeth told Veronica, “Your husband only suffered a minor nose injury. He doesn’t need to be checked by a professional doctor. He can just be treated by the maids.”“Are you fucking kidding me?” Veronica had enough. “My husband worked more in this house in the past few weeks than you had in all your years of staying here! You’re not qualified to tell whether he should receive the treatment from a doctor or not!”Elizabeth’s eyes reddened. She looked at her husband, as if telling him to keep her in check, but Shawn had never

Shadow who wasn’t put in a cell like Rye or Benjamin but was locked up in a particular house and was told to read a large novel written in a language he didn’t know. He would be allowed to come out only after reading and understanding the novel. This was a punishment that put his patience as well as his intelligence and faith to test.Shadow wasn’t the first to receive this sort of a punishment. Some others who received this punishment in the past were able to learn the language with their own intellect, but it had taken them months if not years to do it. And then there were others who were able to understand the foreign novel with the gift of the tongues, which they believed was given by God himself.Ryan paid a visit to Shadow, expecting him to be trying his best to read and understand the book or at least pray for knowledge and wisdom to succeed in this mission put before him. However Shadow was using that novel as a pillow and was snoring like a pig.Ryan shook his head and then w

A milkman entered the Sterling villa in the morning and delivered two cans full of cow and buffalo milk. Delle personally checked the quality of the milk with an instrument to make sure it wasn’t bastardized.Delle poured the raw milk into smaller glass bottles and filled the different refrigerators in the villa with it.While the men in the building avoided drinking raw milk, almost every woman in the villa consumed it because Selena had made it so they learned that habit. From a young age, Selena had the habit of drinking raw milk at some point of the day, except in the morning because she preferred coffee after getting up from the bed.It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Selena, Elizabeth, Veronica, and Rebecca didn’t get any allergic diseases or health complications in recent times because they developed this habit. Even illness that would be common for women in this day and age wouldn’t even come close to those in the Sterling villa.More importantly, Selena would give a s

Benyamin and Rebecca came home in the Porsche.Rebecca looked happy, but Benyamin looked even happier. He was putting on a fake smile as Rye and Uzza were watching from the balcony.He waved his hand at them while Rebecca wasn’t watching.“The nerve of this guy….” Uzza’s jaw hardened. “Please tell me that Maara told Dahlia of the situation here.”“If Dahlia comes and sees what’s happening, all hell will break loose,” Rye opined. “She won’t just talk with him. She will destroy him.”“Yeah. I can see that. Dahlia is very kind in general, but when she gets angry, no one can stop her,” Uzza said.“If she sees Neel like this, she won’t just get angry. She’ll lose her mind. It’s hard to predict what she will do.”Uzza glanced at Rye. “Anyway, what was that back massage all about? Did Benjamin change his mind and give up on Rebecca?”Rye sighed deeply. “I wish that was the case, but he’s so fixated on the 40 day challenge. I was sitting on top of him at some point, and his lips didn’t even b
CHAPTER 912
Louis and Bella were having talks with the Queen’s cafe owner.The star-studded cafe buzzed with a low, melodic hum—the clinking of spoons against china, the murmur of conversations in English, French and many other languages, and the soft jazz drifting from a hidden speaker.Rain pattered lightly against the window, blurring the city lights into impressionistic streaks of color.Benyamin, his dark hair slightly damp from the drizzle, seemingly was captivated not by the view, but by the woman sitting across from him as she told him funny stories from her past.“I’m telling you the truth,” Rebecca said. “The pigeon Elizabeth bought ate the whole croissant right off the table. I’ve never seen anything like it. Elizabeth thought the maid ate the croissant when she wasn’t looking. It led to an argument, until Elizabeth saw the pigeon go for another food item.“After that day, she let the bird go, but that bird would return to Elizabeth’s window for food. She didn’t feed that bird at all,
CHAPTER 911
In the end, Rye didn’t kiss Benjamin. She got up from him and walked away.Benjamin still lay down on the bed.Rye’s scent was still in the air. It was also on his clothes. It was intoxicating, for sure, and he was finding it hard to fight the fleshly feelings that were stirring in him.Benjamin was not even thirty years old.He was near if not at the peak of his manhood, and it wasn’t easy to control the urge of a young man to let a woman’s scent affect him.On top of that, it had a familiar scent.All this made things quite difficult for him.Benjamin didn’t even move for a couple of minutes. Only after his body temperature and heartbeat went down, he got up from the bed.But before he could leave the room, Riley entered the room and shut the door.“W-What are you…” Benjamin was startled.“Hi, slickie,” Riley grinned with shyness and excitement as she approached him. “Can we have a quick, honest talk?”“No, we can’t,” Benjamin said. “Open the door, and let’s talk outside.” He was wa
CHAPTER 910
The first to get upstairs was Roshan followed by his sister Lisa. Riley and other youngsters were right behind.When they looked through the open door in the nearest room, they were all shocked to see Rye walking on top of Benjamin’s back and massaging him.Selena and others also saw what was going on, and the situation turned from a completely serious one into a jovial one.“Haha, what a cute, romantic couple,” Selena laughed heartily.Riley, however, didn’t like what she saw. She wished she was in Rye’s position. She wanted to be the one walking on Benjamin’s back. She couldn’t hide her jealousy which leaked through her eyes right now.“It’s been a while since we’ve done that,” Shawn whispered in his wife’s ears. “Shall we do it tonight?”Elizabeth laughed a little in response.Rebecca did not stay there for long. She walked away, and Benyamin followed her.“Are you feeling jealous of them?” he asked her.“Why would I? They’re lovers. It’s something obvious that they’d do that,” Reb
CHAPTER 909
A long silence filled the hall of the Sterling villa.The only person who was able to smile other than Rebecca and Benyamin was Lisa who was just excited that a wedding was going to happen. She could invite her friends and show off.“A-A wedding?” Selena’s heart hammered against her chest.In the past, Rebecca did not want to reveal to the outside world about her marriage. But now, she wants to announce to the whole world about her marriage?And that, too, when Selena’s fame was rising higher than ever?What was she supposed to tell the guests at the wedding if they were to ask questions about Benyamin?Should she tell them that her son-in-law was a pizza-delivery guy?Just thinking about it sent shivers up and down her spine.“Don’t make this a never-ending debate, Rebecca,” Selena’s voice grew thick very much. “I didn’t like that you married, but you promised me that you wouldn’t hold a function and publicly announce your relationship with him.”“I never promised anything like that,
CHAPTER 908
Shawn brought Benyamin into the villa.With hands in his pockets, Benyamin looked confident and comfortable, as if he didn’t fear anything.“Why did you hit Riley?” Jacob asked him. “For a man to kick a woman in the gut… something vulgar like that…. I never dared to even put such a scene in my movies. What are you thinking when you kicked her? What are you trying to prove?”Benyamin coldly looked at Riley, and she ran and stood behind her mother.“Look at him trying to threaten Riley in front of all of us,” Fiona blurted. “What more proof do you want? Kick this bastard out of this building!”“Why did you hit her?” Jacob asked Benyamin, but he didn’t respond.“Tell us the reason,” Rebecca stepped forward. “Why did you do it? If you haven’t done anything wrong, why are you hesitating?”“I’m not hesitating,” Benyamin replied. “That woman attacked me, and I defended myself. That’s all there is to it. If I really wanted to hurt her, I would have easily punched her nose and broke it.”Selen
CHAPTER 907
Fiona caused a lot of noise and attracted the attention of everyone in the villa.She told them how Benyamin kicked Riley without any conscience, and it enraged Riley’s brothers, uncles, aunts, and dad.Selena was also quite upset by it. “I knew he’s trash, but he stooped to another lower level now.”“He wouldn’t have hit Riley without a reason,” Rebecca backed Benyamin. “First, ask her what she did.”“Are you doubting my daughter?” Fiona glared at her. “You think your husband is a saint or what?”“Whoa, hold it,” Selena intervened. “You don’t talk to my daughter in that tone.”“Why? She’s a princess who rules this country?” Fiona snorted.“One of her hair strands is much more important to me than you and your whole family put together,” Selena replied without hesitation, leaving Fiona and her family members stunned.Benjamin was on the first floor, watching the proceedings. (It’s her obsession over her eldest daughter that has made my life difficult in this villa. She’s obviously not
CHAPTER 906
In the dorms.Maara was swinging the nun-chucks and was hitting two tennis balls against the wall.Benyamin was in the same room, lying on the bed, with his hands under his head. “When are you going to get married, Maara?”Maara didn’t say anything.“You should find someone suitable for you in this city,” Benyamin opined. “Then you won’t have to go back to Sciocidad. That place is pretty boring, isn’t it?”“No, it’s not boring to me,” Marra replied. “It’s where my friends and family are.”“Tsk, you’re boring,” Benyamin openly stated.Maara hit the tennis balls at an angle so that they flew straight toward Benyamin’s face.However, he caught them both with one hand.“Are you butthurt by what I said?” Benyamin smirked. “You are tall and dark. You won’t find a suitable mate in Sciocidad, so you should find your partner here among the commoners. I was telling you what's good for you, but instead of thanking me, you are getting angry at me.”Maara turned to face him. “I can’t feel it, but
CHAPTER 905
George came to Rebecca who was sitting in front of a piano she hadn’t played in a long time.“Will you help me with learning the piano?” George asked her politely.“I myself am relearning it, so, no,” Rebecca replied, “uncle.”George laughed. “I’m your brother-in-law, not your uncle.”“Both are fitting,” she retorted, “in this case.”George found it embarrassing and frustrating that she wasn’t giving him any face even though he was just trying to be friendly, albeit with hidden intentions. “Do you know what happened to your sister’s husband?”“Akash left, it seems,” Rebecca said.“Yeah. But the shocking thing is that Veronica isn’t crying,” George opined. “Even enemies will shed tears as they’re parting, but… how come your sister isn’t shedding a tear? I didn’t know her heart was so cold.”“It is good that she’s not faking her crying like some others do,” Rebecca replied, startling George.“I-Is that what you think? Now that you put it that way, I don’t disagree.”Just then, Fiona arr
