My wife's sisters want me to make a harem?!

Chapter 80: I am the Overlord

Confusion arose in Bartlo's City.

The gates closed, not allowing anyone to enter and leave the city. This alone left many people scared, and their questions boomed throughout the whole city. The most vocal ones were villagers from many villages.

They sold their stuff in those big cities, and they couldn't afford to waste even one day in the big city.

They didn't want to spend money on inn and food here as it was just too expensive for them.

Nevertheless, they were not the only ones to get their transactions stopped or businesses suddenly cut.

Many other people ordered their servants to question Bartlo's sudden order. Those servants knew that their lives were at stake now that they loudly asked the royal child. It was so easy to dispose of those servants, wasn't it?

While servants shouted, the masters and many astute people pondered inwardly.

Crime.

They inferred that someone must've committed a horrendous crime against Bartlo, who was of royal origin. But what kind of crime required the whole city to be shut down? Who was the existence that dared to plot against the Emperor's son?

Those questions scared them the most. Still, many also felt anticipation to see the bold man who probably dared to court Bartlo's woman!

Many believed that it was about a woman.

After all, the dungeon was strictly guarded. Bartlo's mansion was close, so it shared its protection, and one wouldn't really be able to do anything here unless one possessed terrifying assassin abilities.

But it was different with women.

They weren't confined in one place. They went around the city, enjoying the shopping or doing their own businesses. One would have many chances to meet those ladies and openly court them...

If one failed, then one could resort to disgusting acts of forcefully taking the lady's hand!

But who would?

People looked forward to it!

At last, the guards saluted and brought their weapons up. They all lined in two rows and waited for their lord to appear.

Surprising the whole city, a man of different looks and aura stepped outside the mansion. He wore long black-blue robes and looked quite ordinary, yet unexplainable pressure emitted from him as he went forward.

Behind him, a bomb strutted.

A sexy bomb known as the elven queen whose beautiful curves naturally drew attention.

'We were mistaken! It was Bartlo who dared to court that woman! Surely it has to be it!' A thought that all astute shared immediately surged within their minds.

Following these two was a cute Aya, then behind her, Bartlo and his women stomped their way to the doom.

Bartlo and his first wife had already soiled faces, and people didn't even dare to point their hands at those horrendous scars.

Just by looking at them, they felt pain and their bodies shivered.

"That's a good podium," Minato said, then climbed up his way to the new spot.

The whole city stared at him with confusion, disbelief, and the most domineering feeling, fear. Those feelings rippled within their hues, forcing them to keep their eyes broad. No one dared to blink, and no one dared to peek at Ingrid for more than one second.

Minato gestured Bartlo come closer, "Bartlo, your lord, plucked up enough courage to court my women. He ordered his army to go at me, which resulted in him losing more than half of his strongest people."

No one doubted those words.

They just couldn't with their lord standing docile next to Minato.

Minato then slapped Bartlo's head from behind, "His scars will stay for an eternity. No one will be able to cure them as I've used my Overlord Mana to draw them. What kind of existence is an Overlord? A man who takes the dungeons for himself. A man who goes between the worlds to return to the universe's peak. That's who I am, and that's who Bartlo failed to notice."

Of course, words weren't enough, so Minato planned to conquer the dungeon soon enough. However, he needed to leave scars on all women as that was the price Bartlo's family had to pay for their husband's lust and greed.

Minato beckoned the first lady.

If the scenario was different, she would've accepted the invitation without any hesitation, even if she was already a taken woman. Minato's presence and strength would make any lady secure and yearn for him.

Alas, that presence and strength were precisely the opposite for her.

She struggled to take the first step forward.

"Move!" Bartlo shouted, trembling from shame and fear.

His lady let out tears, then took slow steps toward Minato.

She faced him with her sexy face that was unfortunately messed up with her tears. Her eyes trembled as Minato's hand rose, then the reflection of his palm etched itself in her pupils.

At last, Minato grasped her hand, then his golden mana oozed out from his fingertips. In a quick and poised move, he took it down, drawing terrifying scars on the lady's sexy face.

She lost her beauty on the spot.

"Ahhhhhhh!" Her cries struck all onlookers.

"Next," Minato emotionlessly said.

His voice pushed the first lady to the side, then the second woman stepped in with the same expression and tears.

Minato left many women tainted with the scars.

"Let me serve you! Please, take me! You've beaten Bartlo! You have the right to take everything from him, including me! There's no need to hurt me! Please, reconsider! I will make sure to take care of you! Lord Minato!" A lady desperately wanted to avoid the same fate as her sisters knelt and begged Minato.

Her words were understandable.

Many wondered whether Minato had already tasted those women, but she had confirmed that it was not the case. Instead, he went straight to hurt them, making Bartlo pay the price for his mistake.

But why? Those women came from prestigious families, and they surely would've helped Minato with taking over the Empire!

Minato parted his lips to answer all their questions, "Let's say I take you in. You become part of my family, be it maid, concubine, or even wife. You work hard for our family and become the favorite of many... It sounds good, but I always would think about you as someone who has been won over. Your husband lost, and what did you do? You immediately switched sides, promising yourself and fortune to the victor.

I am sure my women will face the consequences together with me. They will stay with me until the very end. I wouldn't be able to feel the same about any 'won' woman," Minato lifted his chin, ordering Bartlo's woman to stand up.

Once she did, he touched her face, "Be a good girl. Before you learned about Bartlo's defeat, you came to his mansion with a loft and elated expression. I believe your husband hasn't mistreated you, so what's the cause of your sudden switch? Your lack of loyalty."

BANG!

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Minato was much rougher with this one woman.

He swept his hand mercilessly and slapped her face away, as he didn't want to look at her anymore.

At the back of his head, Minato knew his fate would've been much worse should he fall into Bartlo's hands. He saw many petty and lustful dungeon raiders, royalties, and so on that just fought for treasures, status and women.

It was a simple circle in the world.

A circle Minato wouldn't participate in.

"I am the Overlord," Minato declared.
