CHAPTER 477
Veronica’s troubles only kept piling up thanks to the omnipotent presence of her mother-in-law everywhere in the villa, except the bathroom.What Veronica hated more than anything was that for the past two days, Roja kept cooking her country’s dishes which were too spicy and oily for her liking. The maids, Kathy, Amber, and Delle didn’t cook any native dishes, which forced Veronica to eat the food that was made against her will.Naturally, she couldn’t eat much.Seeing her daughter suffering, Selena stayed calm because this was all her plan. She wanted Veronica to snap at Akash’s parents and even Akash if possible.Eating foreign dishes that she didn’t like for six times straight made Veronica reach her limit.The next morning, she saw foreign breakfast again. She had enough. She took Akash to her room and told him, “Do I not have the freedom to eat what I want in my own house?”“What’s wrong, Veronica?” Akash looked clueless. “What happened?”“Can’t you see that I don’t like your cou
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
CHAPTER 479
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
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,
CHAPTER 481
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
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
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
CHAPTER 484
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
