Catherine sensed that disgusting gaze and, with a cold expression, used her Queen's Blade to gouge out both of Megan Takeshi's eyes, then viciously stomped on the eyeballs, crushing them underfoot!
"Aargh!"
Megan Takeshi screamed in agony. He had merely admired the beauty for a moment and ended up losing his eyes.
"You... aargh, you are so cruel!" Megan Takeshi cried out in pain.
The three of them remained indifferent.
"Hmph, filthy scum." Catherine coldly rebuked.
Medusa, seeing this person defile her master's property, also had an endless murderous intent in her eyes.
In the next moment, a cold smile appeared on her lips.
Worms... indeed a fitting punishment~
Seeing that his command had not been executed and that this wretched slave even wanted to personally torture Megan Takeshi to death, Charles's eyes flashed with a cold light. "Catherine, did you not hear what your master said?"
"I told you to bring me some worms!"
Catherine shivered all over, remembering how, before descending to the Continent of Overlord, her master had spoken to her in that same merciless tone....
At that time, she had almost died in the training room!
So, she dared not be reckless anymore and hurried outside to fetch some worms.
Worms, there was no more torturous Zerg than these.
Other Zergs would either bite off the neck in one go or simply tear the body apart, causing pain only for a brief moment.
But worms were different. These creatures had very low destructive power. They were originally special units used for constructing buildings, with mouths full of saw-like teeth designed to make digging easier.
What if all these terrifying worms were unleashed on Megan Takeshi, allowing them to gnaw at him freely?
His screams would surely be the perfect symphony...
Perhaps realizing that the Overlord before him intended to execute him without question, Megan Takeshi, driven by desperation, shouted, "You're also a human Overlord! It's bad enough that you let your subordinates act so viciously, but now you want to send worms to kill me?"
"Let me tell you, I am under the command of the top Overlord from Sakura Nation in Serene Forest. Aren't you afraid that Sakura Nation will seek revenge on you?"
"When our elite Overlord from Sakura Nation finds you, they'll make you wish you were dead!"
For this wretch before him, Charles coldly used his Overlord power to sever Megan Takeshi's tongue.
Megan Takeshi fainted from the immense pain.
Charles sneered contemptuously, "Fuck Sakura Nation. Even if you brought your whole family, they'd still be slaughtered!"
He remembered that in his previous life, when he was a Tier 6 Serpent Overlord, he had a feud with a Sakura Nation Overlord.
Their units were not vastly different, and their high-end combat power was relatively equal. But once the actual fight started, he discovered that these Sakura Nation dwarfs were a bunch of weaklings who relied on shouting slogans rather than actual combat prowess.
Charles had used his superior strategic skills to dismantle their formation bit by bit, then unleashed his frenzied Dark Serpents to utterly destroy their territory.
At that moment, his parchment suddenly trembled.
Charles was slightly taken aback, recognizing it as a message notification. After checking the sender, he turned to Medusa and said coolly, "Medusa, throw this idiot outside and coat him with the worms' favorite sauce."
"I doubt even those omnivorous worms can't stand the stench of this dog's piss!"
Medusa was momentarily stunned, then looked disdainfully at the still urinating Megan Takeshi and responded seriously, "Yes!"
...
In the room, Charles, still feeling a bit irritated, slowly opened the parchment.
[Eve: Hey, I just sent over half of the resources we've mined from our Elven Forest. Are you happy, my dear fiancé?]
Looking at the system warehouse filled with premium elven minerals, life trees, and life fruits, Charles couldn't help but smile. These were treasures almost impossible to come by in the Serene Forest. Elves, indeed, were extravagant!
He thought to himself.
These resources were enough to produce even more Zerg warriors. His initial investment had definitely paid off.
When combining the nutrition gains from monster hunts, the trade center revenue from dropped items, the mineral resources collected by worker bees, and the subsequent returns from investing in various Overlords, the growth rate of his Zerg army could reach an unprecedented level.
Even the smallest of these returns—just half of Eve's mining yield—was worth dozens if not hundreds of times more than what an average Overlord could mine.
All these factors combined meant Charles didn't have to lift a finger. Resources accumulated on their own. With enough passive income, he could happily indulge in debauchery with his two foolish female slaves, right?
And after dealing with Megan Takeshi, there would likely be more trouble ahead.
He planned to use the Zerg warriors, fueled by these resources, to ruthlessly crush any invading enemies.
Perhaps to expedite the growth of his revenue channels, Charles sent some surplus elven resources back to Eve, urging her to develop quickly.
[Charles: Of course, I'm very happy, dear Eve.]
[Charles: These are some additional resources for your development. I believe these elven resources should be enough to quickly elevate your strength and that of your minions to mid-tier level three.]
[Charles: That's all I have for now—not because I'm stingy, but because there really isn't more. Elven treasure chests are notoriously hard to come by!]
Elves were a late-game, high-farming potential minion race. The further along they got, the better they were at accumulating resources. This made elven items extremely difficult to farm.
[Eve: Got it, Daddy. Understood, Daddy!]
[Eve: I almost feel like you're spoiling me, even though my family is supposed to be richer than yours.]
[Eve: I wonder if we'll ever get a chance to return to reality. Two days before we entered the Continent of Overlord, I heard your parents' plane crashed. I wanted to visit you, but it seems like that's impossible now...]
Charles's pupils constricted slightly, as if he was recalling something unpleasant, causing his expression to darken considerably.
Returning was definitely possible; there was no doubt about that.
Otherwise, how would he avenge his parents?
As Eve mentioned, two days before entering the Continent of Overlord, his parents' plane encountered mechanical failure while flying to Sakura Nation. Everyone on board died.
The newspapers reported it as an accident, but Charles had received an eerie farewell letter from his parents before the incident. The letter was filled with final words, making it hard not to suspect that someone orchestrated the crash from behind the scenes.
Probably for this reason, during his coming-of-age ceremony, old Peter chose to buy a beautiful female slave from the black market instead of selecting one from the regular market.
He was providing his young master with an outlet for his anger and fear!
Now reborn, Charles had the ability to uncover the truth and give his parents the justice they deserved.
He wondered if old Peter would have the chance to return to his side in this life. After all, in the previous life, he never came back.
This might be the most lamentable aspect of Charles's past and present lives.
When it came to women, Catherine and Medusa were 100% loyal to him.
But among men, his only loyal follower was the old butler, Peter.
[Charles: Don't worry, we'll have a chance to go back. As for my parents' situation, there are still many doubts. I will investigate everything thoroughly.]
[Charles: By the way, it seems like you're quite far from me. It'll be quite costly to get to you.]
Using the Overseer's vision, he saw that the nearest place with an Elven Forest was the center of Serene Forest, while he was in the far south. It was quite a distance.
[Eve: Oh, come on, do you have another badass unit? How about naming a price so your fiancée can have a taste?]
[Eve: Daddy~ please~]
It was clear that this queen was going to great lengths for the Overseer.
Hmm, it seemed Eve was becoming more and more shameless...
