VKBoyI've finally finished the penultimate arc! The final arc will have battles, too, but in a completely different manner. Will the son-in-law return with full force, or does he have other plans? Only time shall tell. I couldn't thank readers like Liwhundebe Emmanuel, Edwards Bocarvy, Dewaarta, and Balogun Morenikeji Olalekan the last time, as I can't thank everyone by name in here. I'm going to write a proper thank you note for all the names I notice in the rankings at the end of the novel, and please don't feel bad if you don't see your name. Cheers.

A few days later.On Sciocidad, everybody in the clan attended Mina’s funeral. However, no funeral was conducted for the eight saints for nobody was sure if they died or were just taken away.New saints were chosen by a special method. All the chosen ones were young children who would eventually be groomed into saints, who would then hold more power than the elders and a little less power than the sovereign.After Rye gifted the newly chosen saints with clothes and tools, a clan meeting took place. All the elders and significant members of the clan gathered to discuss the future. Everybody expressed their opinions without hesitation.“Now that the vampire king has died, the lizards are growing restless in their pursuit for doomsday,” one man named Brooks said passionately after getting up from his seat. “They are kidnapping people and are seizing their bodies. We can’t let them keep doing this, or all the top, influential positions around the world will be filled to the brim with thos

Rye was faster than lightning itself. She went all out from the very beginning by imbuing red lightning into her leg.Ryan cross-blocked the kick with visible effort. “Going for the face of an elder, you’re quite rude, Rye.”“I don’t want to hear that from someone who doesn’t try to understand my feelings!” Rye spun in midair and went for Ryan’s midsection with an axing kick.Ryan blocked her skin with his right elbow before it struck his waist. The class of their spiritual energies didn’t destroy the environment around them but actually promoted the growth of the plant life, for both Rye and Ryan’s hearts were being driven by positive thoughts, despite how they tried to oppose each other.Rye kept her distance close and targeted his fists, wanting to make the soil in his hands spill to the ground no matter what.Ryan sucked in a deep breath and formed white spheres around his fists. These spheres not only helped Ryan defend from Rye but also be on the offense.Rye’s movements were li

Everybody on Sciocidad was in a joyful mood after Benjamin returned. A messenger bird was already sent to deliver the message to Shadow. This was not a living bird but a robotic bird driven by wind and electricity, which was generally also used as children’s toys.A trial was soon conducted on Benjamin, with the jurors being Ryan, Galen, and ten more elders. Being the current ruler, Rye herself was the judge.Rye was reading the document prepared by the scholars of the clansmen. “You were given the authority to sit on this throne and rule the people, which you did for a little while, and then you ran away from the sight of your people and didn’t return even after six months had passed. Do you have anything to say about it?”“I’m guilty about it,” Benjamin replied.“Aren’t you going to argue your own case?” Rye asked because there was no such thing as lawyers on Sciocidad. Every adult had to defend themselves in court. So, Rye didn’t like how Russell just agreed to being guilty without

An old lady entered a luxury watch store. She was in her pajamas and was carrying a small handbag strapped to her chest.The moment she entered, she received negative looks from the workers. “Grandma, where do you think you’re coming?” a female worker asked her.“I want to buy a watch, young one,” the old lady who seemed to be in her eighties said. “No, I want to buy two watches. One for my son, and another for his to-be wife.” She was about to sit in a chair.“Wait, don’t sit,” the worker quickly came past the desk and grabbed her arm. “You need to go out.”“Why?” The old lady seemed a little confused.“There’s nothing here that you can buy,” the worker exerted some force and pulled the old lady away. “If you want to buy watches for your son and daughter-in-law, then you should find a roadside mobile vehicle that sells cheap watches that look like the real ones. That’s going to make your son and daughter-in-law happy, I’m sure.”“But I can afford the watches in this store, young one,

Veronica rolled to her left and then to her right. She covered her ears with the pillow and squeezed it against her head, trying her best to sleep, but Akash’s snoring was being quite a bit of a nuisance to her.The noisy vibration just wasn’t letting her sleep.After struggling for a while, Veronica took her pillow and walked out of the room. She went straight to Rebecca’s room because she was used to sleeping with her sometimes, whenever she felt lonely in the past.However, when she entered the room, she was surprised to see Rebecca sleeping next to a pair of clothes. “That gray suit…” Veronica’s expressions changed because she remembered that the suit belonged to Benjamin. Did her sister miss him so much she was not able to sleep without feeling his presence next to her. (Did you love him that much, sis?) She pursed her lips.Compared to her sister, she felt that her love lacked very much. After all, she couldn’t even put up with Akash’s snoring, and she didn’t even try to attempt

Akash woke up almost half-an-hour after Veronica had done her mischievous act. He didn’t realize right away that there was something in his mouth, but he couldn’t move his jaw. And it made him pull the thing that was in his mouth.He thought it was a piece of cloth at first, but then he soon saw what it was. He immediately looked at Veronica, shocked, but she was sleeping like a baby.How did this purple underwear come into his mouth? Did he do it? Did she do it? Did they do it together? He didn’t remember anything. He didn’t remember drinking alcohol last night, so he wasn’t sure what exactly happened, or how exactly, a woman’s underwear ended up in his mouth.Veronica’s wardrobe was bigger than her room itself, so he couldn’t tell if this purple underwear belonged to her or not. But who else could it belong to? He thought.“Maybe, she put it in my mouth to tell me something without saying it…” his expression suddenly changed because he wondered if Veronica was currently wearing unde

A few months ago. Rebecca came to Rye’s Pizzas in the evening, and she took Benjamin in her red Porsche. “Don’t wear sunglasses, ma’am, they’re not good for your health,” Benjamin said, sitting in the back because she wouldn’t usually let him sit next to her. “Don’t I look cool when I’m wearing them?” Rebecca asked. “Yes, but… you wouldn’t want to harm your health just to look good, would you?” he asked. “Your sister eats whatever she wants, but you think three times before putting a spoonful of ice cream in your mouth. Why is that?” “Because sugar is very bad for you,” Rebecca answered quickly and proudly. “I get my natural sugar from fruits, so I avoid junk food, especially ones that are addictive.” “That’s right. You used discretion there and stayed off from bad sugar products. Sunglasses fall in the same category. They are bad for your eyes. And anything that’s bad for the eyes is bad for the whole body.” Rebecca paused for a second. “So you're telling me, I shouldn’t wear s

A couple of days later.Something felt good as Veronica opened her eyes in the morning, thinking Akash was up to something naughty again, but she found Roja massaging her legs. She immediately sat up. “W-What are you doing?” her legs and feet were completely covered in thick oil, which offended and grossed her out.“I’m helping the blood flow all over your body,” Roja said. “A good foot massage will heal the whole body. Castor oil massage is especially good for health.”Veronica, however, couldn’t understand a single word Roja said. “No. I don’t need you to massage me!” She got up from her bed, but the moment she put her foot down, she slipped and fell back on the bed. “Kyaa! I thought I was gonna die! Just how much oil did you apply on my feet!” she fumed at Roja.“I-I’m sorry,” Roja apologized and then tried to wipe Veronica’s feet clean with a towel, but Veronica didn’t let her.“You’ve done enough!” she pulled her legs away. “Just leave!” she waved her hand, demanding Roja to leav

Benyamin gave a bouquet to Rebecca, and she gladly accepted it.Rebecca brought Benyamin into the villa while holding his hand, and her eyes were still wet with tears of happiness.Selena, who just happened to be coming downstairs with her handbag, planning to go out to make an important deal, saw Benyamin. The bag in her hand dropped. “Y-You… Why did you come back?”“Mom, is that the question you ask your son-in-law?” Rebecca’s voice was sharp.“He’s been gone for weeks!” Selena’s gaze also turned sharper. “And don’t you remember what he’s done? He sold the villa away to Uzza. Did you already forget that he cheated on all of us? Let go of his hand now! He must have heard of my recent rise and came here to use us! A bastard like him should never even be let close! Kick him out. Now!”Rebecca, however, tightened her grip. “No. If you want him to leave, I’ll leave, too.”Selena’s heart skipped a beat. “What?

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 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.

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
