Area O.It was a research center mainly used to test the limits of organs. Before the world came to know about heart and liver transplants, the elites were already enjoying these services in this secret base.Ryan used the same key he had taken from Josephine to enter the base.Currently, a special type of hybridization of corn was being tested on rats and monkeys. Eating these corn would bring out the necessary emotion out of the animals. They fed two contrasting types of corn to the rats. One became extremely aggressive, but the other extremely passive and didn’t fight back even though its own life was in danger.The scientists were diligently experimenting, and today, they were moving on to the human trials. And they had already gathered men and women of all age groups and tied them up to their beds in the laboratories. They were sedated so that they wouldn’t be able to speak.“We’ll start with giving different types of corn to everyone,” the head scientist said.“Yes, sir,” a voic
It only took the pureblood vampires a fraction of a second to attack from either side to gain the advantage over Ryan while the clone distracted him. And their tactic worked. Ryan’s back was completely exposed now, and a pureblood vampire thrust his hand, aiming to pierce through Ryan’s bag and rip his heart out. “Got you!” Silver lightning burst out of Ryan’s body, creating a devastating explosion that destroyed half of the base instantly. The clone before him was surprisingly still alive, though he began to malfunction and behave weirdly, such as rolling his eyes and waving his arms without any sense. However, the pureblood vampires were just fine. They had compressed the lightning energy that came at them in their palms. Sealing the energy was one of their powers, after all. They could have swallowed it and gotten stronger if it was a simple form of lightning, but now, they couldn’t seal it for long, so they threw it back to Ryan. The compressed energy expanded fast, but Ryan li
Ryan, as promised, freed all the children in the base. Some of them were even brought from another state and country, so he ordered Rodnie to get them to their homes.Seeing hundreds of children coming out of a building would usually attract attention, but the building they came out of was not in the main street. Moreover, Rodnie used his own school buses to take the children away. So, things went smoothly, and nobody noticed anything abnormal.After the children left, Rodnie asked Ryan, “Are you going to destroy the base?”“I intend to.”“They have robotic drill machines and construction tools, so they can build a base much faster compared to humans.”“Still, destroying is easier than building.”“You’re right. Uh, what about Benjamin?”“Things are progressing on that side as well.”“Mm,” Rodnie could see that Ryan didn’t want to talk about it. “I hope he’ll return safely. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be off.”After Rodnie left, Ryan looked across the street. The young girl Leisha Ma
Louis came to meet Rodnie who was busy sending the kidnapped children back to their home.“I didn’t expect the Gray Ghost of all people to come to me,” Rodnie looked a little anxious because he knew the real identity of Louis. “I’m really busy right now, but what do you want? It’s not my blood, or is it?” He went out of his way to offer him a drink.“I won’t take much of your time. I just came to ask if you have any updates regarding Benjamin’s situation,” Louis didn’t refuse the wine. “If I can give something to Rebecca, she’ll feel better.”“I understand your concern, but I’m afraid I don’t know any better than you do,” Rodnie briefly watched the video on his desktop where it showed the kids getting kidnapped using vans with blacked-out windows. “Damn, these dates they kidnap on are all around festival times. Just what sort of crazy things do they do to these poor children? It’s all for their organs, right?”“No. It’s mainly for the blood,” Louis spoke, startling Rodnie.“Blood?”“W
Bella thought a lot about it.“I can’t decide what’s right or wrong for her, but if she has the vampiric powers, she might be able to do something. She has fighting experience from when she practiced wrestling when she was young, but that won’t be enough to fight the vampires she will come across when she goes out to get Benjamin back. Forget about standing in the presence of purebloods, it will take her a year or two just to be able to defend herself from my attacks.“I don’t see much benefit from turning her. She will definitely put herself in even more danger by going out to look for Benjamin, but that gives her a chance to do something.”In the end, she couldn’t decide by herself and went to Rebecca’s room. Selena was giving her books to read so she could pass some time, but Rebecca didn’t seem interested.“Mother-in-law, can you give us a moment?” Bella asked.Selena came to Bella and asked in a low voice, “She’s in a bad mood, so don’t do anything funny.”“Got it.”After Selena
As Ryan was exploring Area O, or what was left of it, he found some interesting things. There were some experimented people locked in cells, and none of them looked like humans anymore. Their bodies had either swollen or mutated. And they acted aggressively when Ryan entered their vision.After roaming around, Ryan realized one thing. The most researched organ in this center was the brain. He watched the footage of extracting blood, adrenaline, and some byproducts of hormone rush from the terrorized victims, and these samples being used for doing all kinds of research.“They are using every body part for something.” Seeing the research videos curdled his blood.Ryan patiently waited for a while, but no force came to fight him.“Strange. They build these bases using the taxes of the people, so it’s not easy for them to build them back once I destroy them. Seeing how no one else is coming, they probably already gave up on this base and must be waiting for me at another base.”After he c
Four green orcs boldly approached the borders of the moonless kingdom, carrying bags of all kinds of red gemstones on their backs.“Is it true that those who get killed by the vampires can be raised from their graves as undeads afterward?” Dahlia asked. She was inside the skin of an orc with a mole on the nose. Despite covering herself in a perfect camouflage, she couldn’t help but be tense because she lacked experience compared to the other three in similar orc-suits.“There’s no need to worry as long as you don’t meet awakened vampires,” Shadow replied. He was in the skin of an arc with hair coming out of the ears. The only region where skin grew for green orcs were the ears, and the green orcs with the most hair in their ears were treated with great respect. Shadow briefly glanced at Dahlia and said, “I think what we need to worry the most about is that your chest is protruding a bit out through the skin covering. Maybe, you should have wrapped them in a cloth or something?”Dahlia
Orcs weren’t as good as goblins when it came to watching in darkness, but compared to humans, they were far better.When working in the mines, a green orc wouldn’t even dare to raise their head in a red orc’s presence, yet Rye was now looking straight at this red orc without even blinking.Naturally, the red orc’s blood boiled like never before.“How dare a mere trash like you look at me when I’m eating!” he howled in orc language, hid the rest of the dumpling in his underwear and ran at her.Rye and others couldn’t even understand what he was saying, but his body language made it obvious that he didn’t mean any good.Fighting a red orc would do them no good, so Mina told them to run, and they did.The red orc chased them, but to his surprise, he couldn’t catch up to them. “These rat bastards…” in the end, he gave up because he wasn’t allowed to run too far from his master’s home.Rye and others eventually stopped, and they ended up right in front of a cemetery. There were a few vampi
Selena had been busy talking with many businessmen from all across the country. The people from the film industry also came to the Sterling villa with bouquets and gifts.Some gifted her luxury cars, while some others wanted her to act in their films, so they were showing their call sheets and asking for her movie dates.They were willing to pay her as much as twenty to fifty million dollars per movie.Selena, however, didn’t reckless sign on every movie she got. Out of the dozens of stories that came to her, she only picked two so far.And she was quite happy with her current situation.To show her gratitude to Uzza, she came to her and gave a key to Uzza who was in the kitchen with Delle.“What’s this?” Uzza asked.“One of the movie producers gifted a private jet as advance payment for agreeing to do his movie,” Selena replied.Delle’s eyes enlarged very much. “A-A private jet? How much does that cost, ma’am?”“32 million dollars,” Selena casually replied. “This is just the start. I’
“How did you feel when you first saw Veronica? Tell me the truth,” Uzza was questioning Akash while he was watering the plants in the backyard.“Obviously…” Akash was about to say something, but his husband-radar sensed his wife coming up from behind, so he said, “when I met her on our first date, I became pregnant.”Uzza spit out the corn kernels in her mouth out of shock. “What?”“Pregnant with love, I mean,” Akash added.“Why are you exaggerating?” Veronica pulled Akash’s ear. “When we first met, I smelled his hands first. They didn’t smell like curry, so he passed my first test. And then, we talked about other things.”Akash shook his head and giggled helplessly.Seeing Akash blushing, Uzza could see that he was in love with Veronica more so than Veronica was in love with him.Veronica then climbed on Akash’s back and hugged him from behind.“What are you doing?” Akash complained. “Can’t you see that I’m working?”“Work while carrying me. As a man, you should be able to do this muc
Kathy wanted to visit the mansion of the president to meet the president’s son, but she couldn’t go alone, so she took Amber with her. Samuel welcomed them, but Amber didn’t like the atmosphere and told Amber she’d go back. Kathy didn’t force her cousin and let her leave.Kathy then explored the mansion with Samuel, which shocked the maids as Samuel hadn’t done such a thing before. What if Samuel’s daughters and wife were to see what he was doing now? What if Andrew were to see?Andrew, on the other hand, was very busy. He worked with some media companies and celebrities and had them leak news on trafficking of women and children. He also had some sexual scandals released to divert some of the attention.The public thought that it was the work of the media companies at first, but as the news channels began to give credit to Andrew Sehla the president, everyone wondered if Andrew was behind this.As if living up to the people’s expectations, Andrew made some politicians and celebrities
As Veronica handled Akash roughly, punishing him for his farts, he yelled at her and told her to do the exercise herself to understand how tough it was, but then Veronica did five sit-ups and made them look so easy. She didn’t have any abs, but her abdomen looked very beautiful because of the skin folds and the type of dress she was wearing.“See? It’s so easy,” Veronica hissed at him. “Now, do just like how I did. Don’t inhale while getting up. That’s why you’re farting like a pig. Breathing is everything. Without that you won’t be able to execute any exercise with control.”“O-Okay,” Akash helped her get up. When he saw Rebecca and Benjamin at the door, he was so embarrassed he went to the other end of the gym.“You have come far, Veronica,” Rebecca was proud of her sister. She used to teach her little sister all the time, and now it felt nice to see her teach Akash how to do different exercises.“Haha,” Veronica laughed like a gorilla and looked at Benjamin, “do you want to learn f
While Benjamin and Rebecca were about to go separate ways, Elizabeth came over to them.While smiling a bit awkwardly on the surface, she asked, “Brother Benjamin, my bank card is having some issues. Can you please pay for the piano? I’ll pay you the money soon as my bank issue gets resolved.”Rebecca’s eyes slightly widened because she had seen Elizabeth trick so many people with the similar tactic. In fact, Rebecca herself had fallen prey to this move a few times long ago.“No problem,” Benjamin took out a card. It was a platinum-coated card with the symbol of ‘W’ on it, made with diamonds.“Wow, are these real diamonds?” She was shocked. “What kind of bank gives these cards? I would like to have this, too.”“It’s a secret bank known as Eternity Bank, so it won’t be easy to get you one card, but I will try,” Benjamin told her.“Thank you. You really are so kind,” Elizabeth smiled happily. “May I know the password for this?”“It doesn’t have a password.”“Oh…” Elizabeth didn’t quite
Once Benjamin walked out of the room, Rebecca met him and asked in a low voice, “What did you tell him?”“I did what I could,” Benjamin shrugged. “I’m not sure how to handle this type of a situation, but I think it’s something he has to change from the inside. No matter how much we say, he won’t change unless that spark of change comes from within.”“So, we should just create an atmosphere that will make him self-realize and then get rid of his bad habit, huh.”“That would be anything but easy, though, because we never know what works and what doesn’t.”“You are right, but we can’t just give up on him. Even though I don’t like Elizabeth, I can’t ignore her kids who grew up right before my eyes,” Rebecca replied. “I told my brother to not give them mobiles when they’re young, as they might get addicted to games, which they did… But now, they are in that age where hormones will make them want to watch new things. If we let them get out of hand, they will be ruining their careers and thei
Benjamin closed Roshan’s eyes and showed him some of his memories.When Benjamin went to door-deliver pizza, a man was kicking his wife out for cheating on her. He married her even though she was a single mom, but just four months after their marriage, he found her cheating on him.There was another instant where Benjamin found the same girl on the same day in two different places, sleeping with two different guys, and she even asked Benjamin to fuck her on the stairs between the floors. She seduced him, but Benjamin scuttled away from her.After showing a series of troubles he came across on his job, he then showed the challenges he experienced every evening when Rebecca came to pick him up in her Porsche.Even though Benjamin was her husband, he would try to court his own wife by giving her flowers, or sweets, or a special pizza he personally made. He would praise her, saying he had never seen her use the rear-view mirror for applying lipstick like he had seen many other women do it
George saw Rebecca alone, waiting outside Roshan’s room. He used this opportunity to come up to her.“What are you doing here, Rebecca? Did Roshan cause some trouble again?” George was folding his sleeves. “Let me teach him a lesson.”“Stop!” Rebecca hit his shin bone with her foot. Because of her footwear, he cringed in pain. “Why do you assume things? I’m standing here just because I want to. Nothing else.”“You expect me to believe that?” George harrumphed. “You are such a bad liar. The day you brought some random guy into the house and said you loved him and married him, everyone else might have believed your words but I didn’t. There’s no way someone like you who’s so capable can fall in love, much less marry a pizza-delivery guy. Compared to him, I’m so much better!”“You are wrong, George,” Rebecca calmly and confidently replied. “Benjamin…” she lightly smacked her own head. “Ahem, I mean, Benyamin is a billion times better than you. He doesn’t bend his spine for money like you
Rebecca knocked on a door.“Who is it?” Roshan asked from the inside, a hint of anxiety in his voice.“It’s me,” Rebecca replied. “Open the door. I’ll just have a quick few words with you, that’s all.”“A-Aunt, I don’t want to talk to you right now,” Roshan replied. “Please go.”“I’ll talk with him,” Benjamin told her in a low voice. Rebecca then walked away and stopped at a certain distance.A minute later, Benjamin knocked on the door.“Hey, I’m Benjamin,” he said. “Can I talk to you?”“No, I’m busy right now,” Roshan answered.“It’ll only take a minute,” Benjamin persisted. “I won’t bother you afterward.”“Tsk,” Roshan, annoyed, walked over to the door.Benjamin knocked on the door again.Roshan quickly opened the door with a hostile look. “What?”Benjamin smiled and stepped closer and put his arm around Roshans’s shoulder. He then shut the door from behind him and even locked it without looking back.“W-What are you doing?” Roshan nervously asked.Even Rebecca, who was outside, co
