“What kind of monstrous transformation is this?” Dahlia couldn’t comprehend what she was seeing. Creating a hybrid heart through surgery was one thing, but how could it happen so fast and intelligibly as if those heart pieces had minds of their own? Though she was against it when Rye had said she wanted to destroy all the experimental data of the vampires, Dahlia was beginning to change her mind now. “I heard that in the outside world, lizard beings live in some people and mimic human behavior, but this is far creepier than that.”Dahlia’s hairs stood on their ends, but she knew that she had to fight and kill this monster if she wanted to get out of the cave.Putting her fears aside by sheathing her daggers and changing her breathing pattern, she was able to absorb the little oxygen that was available in that deepest part of the cave. Her pineal gland activated, and so her eyes glowed blue, though only slightly. The tone of her daggers also gained a level of blueness. The energy reson
The fights between Damian vs Oroboros, and Emmanuel vs Jezz Bell were getting louder and louder with every passing second.Oroboros destroyed the entrance of the cave so that it could freely move about and fight the prince, whereas Damian used advanced vampiric arts to fend off the snake’s heavy blows and also the poisonous breaths. He wasn’t masterful at it, but he was good enough to survive.Jezz Bell, on the other hand, had a clear upper hand against Emmanuel who looked baffled to say the least.“How the hell are you this strong?” Emmanuel was both angry and frustrated. “You’re just a slut who sucks as many dicks as she can every day. How can you be on the same level as I am!” His fangs cut through everything in sight except the opponent.“I’m not on the same level as you,” Jezz Bell smirked as she moved like a snake. Her lower body was extremely agile. “I’m stronger than you, you fool!” She whipped her leg at him and sliced his upper body in two halves, but Emmanuel’s body was rea
Bob took Rye and Benjamin to the oldest base of the vampire kingdom. This was where the experiments that began the experiments were held. This base was no longer in use. It was called the Commander’s Base.It was full of items and gadgets from all ages and professions. There were pianos, soccer balls, nut-grinding machines, televisions, cellphones, towers and such things in miniature sizes.“What is this place for?” Rye was about to put her finger on the small piano, but the piano started playing before she even touched it. “What the hell?” she immediately stepped back. Her eyes glowed red, and she was able to see black energy coming out of the piano. Not just the piano, but every item in that base. “All these objects are possessed by dark spirits.”“You’re right,” Bob said, feeling the chill of the base as the weather was absurdly cold inside, even though there was no ice in sight. “When the television was invented, it was modified in this base by the commander, who then used it to p
Even though Rye was surprised by Jezz Bell’s attack, she was able to grab her hand before it reached her heart. “What do you think you’re doing?”“What else?” Jezz Bell’s nails grew and pierced Rye’s chest, making her bleed from the mouth.Benjamin swiped his hand at Jezz Bell, forcing her to jump back, but she couldn’t because Rye was still holding onto her hand. As a result, Benjamin’s hand grabbed Jezz Bell’s face.“Yes, violate me like this,” Jezz Bell began to moan. “You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting to be handled by you like this.”Her words creeped Rye out. She let go of Jezz Bell’s hand and kicked her in the diaphragm, sending her back by many steps.“Who’s she exactly?” Rye asked Bob as her chest wound began to heal fast.“She’s the Zero Knight, the one who’s stronger than all the other vampire knights,” Bob answered. “Don’t think she’s just a little stronger than other knights because she’s not. She’s far stronger than them. The zero knight has been experimented on
Everything within a ten mile radius was reduced to dust from Jezz Bell’s attack; everything except three souls.Bob’s head was still intact because Benjamin had shielded him. Jezz Bell looked at Benjamin who had formed a translucent shield with his palm and blocked the shockwave from harming him.“As expected of the Sovereign,” Jezz Bell licked her lips. “Even though you’re so weakened, you still blocked one of my awakened attacks. Now I see why you are called the strongest being on earth.”Benjamin’s arm was trembling. He couldn’t maintain the shield for long, and it dissipated. If Jezz Bell were to launch a similar attack, aimed directly at him, he wasn’t sure if he would be able to block it right now. And he could see that Jezz Bell had her eyes on him and was not even blinking. Her eyes were burning with tangible lust. “You should focus on your opponent. Not me.”“My opponent? She’s already…” Jezz Bell shifted her head to look in Rye’s direction.Rye was still standing, and her cl
Many decades ago, when Bob was young enough to call himself a handsome man despite having an ugly head, he was holding an injection that had what looked like a translucent liquid with glowing particles here and there.“Once I inject this into your body, whether it’s in the muscles or in the blood…” he was teasing Belladonna, the brunette he couldn’t wait to have sex with because she looked so damn beautiful. However, the king didn’t give him permission yet, so he had to suppress his feelings and keep his thoughts to himself. “The monster genes in this liquid will alter your chromosomes, and you’ll no longer be a human. You will experience a lot of cancers hurting your body immediately. The inflammations will make you look ugly, but you have to endure if you want to live. And if you endure until the end, then your genes will be transformed. I have no idea what you’ll become, but you’ll definitely be anything but human. You’ll be genetically transformed forever, and if you’re able to pr
“Death by Thousand Dots!” Jezz Bell released all the needle-like spines that had grown on her body and sent them all flying at Benjamin as they spun and drilled and whistled through the air.Jezz Bell believed that this attack likely wouldn’t kill Benjamin but would at least debilitate him.However, all the spines got blown away by a local breeze, and Rye made her entrance. She could have used stronger wind, but the flames were still burning everywhere, so it wouldn’t have been a wise move.What annoyed Jezz Bell wasn’t that Rye returned, but that she only had minor burns on her body. “Your wind ability shouldn’t have saved you from my fire, so how the hell did you… wait, it’s the spiritual energy, huh…” she hissed. “Tch, why don’t you teach me how to use it? That endless energy flowing in the aether… if I can make use of that, I wouldn’t have to worry about running out of energy.”“Rye…” Benjamin uttered with a cold gaze. “We’ve wasted enough time with this woman. I don’t want to was
At Rye’s Pizzas.Christopher, the fat manager, of the store was struggling to put a smile on his face even though a lot of customers visited the store and made online orders.“Why are these new recruits so stupid? They don’t remember the routes of the customers’ houses or even their names for fuck sake!“I really miss my top worker, my knight in shining armor, Benjamin! Where is he? He knew the names, preferences, and the shortest routes to the customers’ houses. He was equal to a hundred workers. Life was easy when he used to work here, but now, I’ve lost three kilos in the last week. This is too much to take.”Christopher looked around and couldn’t see the familiar faces anymore.“Where’s Sasha? Where’s Damian? Where did they go without any prior notice? I can’t reach any of them. Sasha’s grandmother died. I hope she’s doing okay. She’s a silent type, and silent types are sensitive. I can’t help but worry for her.”He kept shaking his head.“Things changed ever since that shootout h
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
“Haha, did Veronica’s husband really go back to his country?” Fiona laughed excitedly as she privately talked with her daughter Riley in a guest room. “I didn’t think things would happen so smoothly. Now, we just need to introduce one of our rich allies to Veronica, and the rest will take care of itself. I should also deal with Rebecca’s husband, too.”“Mom, I need to tell you something,” Riley said.“Go on,” Fiona was eating sweet bread which Delle had made.“I…” Riley hesitantly said. “I think I’m in love with Benjamin.”Fiona choked on her bread.Riley quickly gave water.It was only after drinking the water, Fiona was able to breathe again. She took a few deep breaths and looked at her daughter in shock. “Are you fucking kidding me? You have a wedding soon, and you’re saying you fell in love with Rebecca’s husband? A pizza-delivery guy?”“No, mom. Rebecca’s husband is Benyamin, the guy with the wolf haircut, but the one I fell in love with is Benjamin,” Riley clarified, “the guy w
“It’s obvious that your sister has come here with a goal,” Selena was talking to Jacob in his room. “Fiona is a snake through and through. We can’t let her stay here for long, or she’ll cause our family to split up. If we give our daughters to the billionaires she refers to, then they will try to have control over our family. You do realize that, don’t you?”“So you want me to send my sister and her family away when they came to our house after so many years?” Jacob asked her back in an annoyed voice.“Yeah. You can’t hesitate with a snake, or it will bite you when you’re most vulnerable,” Selena added. “If you don’t send her away, she will stick in this house for a while and make a mess out of our family.”Jacob thought about it. “I can’t do it myself, but I know someone who can.”“Who?” Selena curiously asked.“Your eldest daughter,” Jacob smiled.“Rebecca?” Selena was surprised for a second. “I see. If Fiona confronts Rebecca about her marriage, then Rebecca wouldn’t just watch. If
“How are things with your family, brother?” Fiona asked.Selena raised an eyebrow. “You’re in a family that deals with real-estate, so you should already know how we’re doing.”“Haha, I do, but outside information can only be trusted so much,” Fiona responded. “Recently, we’ve worked hard on getting a marriage deal for Riley. Her fiance owns a reputed sports agency that deals with covering all the popular international sports. He earns hundreds of millions every year, but his father is a tycoon in the alcohol industry. Their net worth is in tens of billions.”“Good for you and your daughter,” Jacob smiled.“By the way, Brother,” Fiona glanced at Veronica and Akash. “What does Veronica’s husband do?”Jacob’s expression slightly changed.Veronica frowned and looked at her mother who was looking back at her with a rather poker face.“He is staying at home for now,” Veronica said openly.“Pfft, he’s jobless?” Riley snorted. “Your taste is so bad, Veronica, not just in terms of finding a pa
Benjamin went to the first floor and waited in the hall until Rebecca left her room.Then he went to her room. The door was locked, but he solidified his energy in the keyhole and opened the door.He entered the room quietly and saw the water bottle on the table next to her desk. It was half-full.Benjamin took out the vial and poured a drop of water into the bottle while saying ‘I love you, Rebecca.’He entered the bathroom and poured a couple of drops in the bathtub while once more uttering the three words ‘I love you, Rebecca.”He was about to come out of the room, but then he stopped and then ended up leaking another drop of water on the pillow, and another on the blanket. “I love you, Rebecca.”“Hopefully, this will help,” he thought.Benjamin then hurriedly left the room and then went to the rooftop. He mixed a few more drops in each of the four water tanks, while saying the words out, “I love you, Rebecca.”He looked at the vial.Three fourths of it was finished.He put the via
Despite Uzza, Rye, and Benjamin living in separate rooms, there were many guest rooms still available in the mighty Sterling villa, the best property on Rachel Hill.So, the families of Jacob’s siblings stayed in those rooms without any issue.But the problem was with the cousins, who were trying to show off. They acted arrogant and haughty with Veronica and even mocked Rebecca for the little hair she had on her head, not even bothering to wonder why exactly her hair was like that.Rebecca didn’t even bother talking to them, or sparing a word with them because she knew how selfish and self-centered these people were.Jacob and Shawn might have forgiven these people, but Rebecca couldn’t just act like nothing ever happened.She didn’t treat them badly, either. She just ignored them and minded her business.However, her cousin sisters got their eyes on Benyamin who was quite good-looking. Her cousin brothers were also unable to avert their eyes from Rye.Rye looked more like an exotic f
So many people started visiting Sterling villa ever since Selena herself had leaked the news of her buying a lot of land and buildings in Aurora Hills.Selena was sitting on the balcony, with Veronica next to her.“Why has the traffic increased so much?” Veronica said, “I’m seeing so many cars come and go recently.”Selena somewhat smiled and sipped on cream coffee. “I wasn’t born rich, Veronica. My relatives didn’t even let my parents into their homes or invite us to their functions because we were poor as church mice.”“Stop joking, Mom,” Veronica smirked with amusement. “You look like a million dollars. I’m sure our relatives’ sons back then would have wanted to marry you.”“You’re not entirely wrong, but they didn’t want to marry me as much as they wanted to mess with me,” Selena said. “I still remember one guy telling me, ‘I may look ugly as hell, but I can show you heaven in bed.’”Veronica went silent in shock. She didn’t think her mother’s beauty would have brought such terrib
Delle was bringing food, three varieties, on a big plate.Rye intercepted and took the plate from her. She brought it to Benjamin and sat by him under the tree.The grass was cool, even though the breeze was warm.“You think I haven’t noticed that you weren’t eating anything since you made that 40-day promise?” Rye said. “You were just acting like you’re eating.”She broke the bread mixed with fruit and brought it closer to his mouth.He didn’t open his mouth.“Do you want me to stop eating just like you are doing?” Rye said.Benjamin, who was staring into the distance, glanced at her. “Is it possible to love and hate at the same time?”Rye pursed her lips together, not quite understanding why he asked such a question. “I was angry with the things you did. I am still angry, but I don’t hate you. So, if you really love someone, I don’t think you can hate them.”“If there is no hatred in his heart, then how is Neel able to do this to me?” Benjamin asked, a hint of pain laced through his
Rebecca and Benyamin had breakfast together.This nearly made Selena’s eyes bleed. She didn’t think she’d live a day like this.Watching them eating happily was like injecting poison into her body.While she loved seeing her daughter happy, she couldn’t spare any mercy on the man who tricked her daughter into marrying him.Even now, she was thinking in her heart, devising plans on how to separate her daughter and her husband.Having lost the mood to eat breakfast, she came to the backyard.Amber was preparing the background setting needed for the interview.“Where’s Kathy?” Selena asked.“S-She’s with Samuel Sehla, ma’am,” Amber hesitantly said.Selena’s gaze turned a little icy, but then she smiled. “I knew Kathy had it in her, but I didn’t think she’d be able to grab the attention of someone like Samuel Sehla.” She looked at Amber. “What about you?”“I-I don’t plan on grabbing anybody’s attention,” Amber quickly replied.“Tsk, tsk,” Selena shook her head. “Try to grab Benyamin’s att
