Harem Overlord: I ALWAYS Finish Quick!
Chapter 16 Overlord

As Ryan saw Mara in the door, his eyes widened in further alarm.

He just could not catch a break today.

First, he was screwed out of replaceing his name, he exposed his cultivation powers to his servants, and his servants turned out to be demons in disguise!

Now on top of all that, he had the Ice Queen breathing down his neck!

Ryan only delayed for a second, but that second was enough for any cultivator to catch up, Lizzy and Izzy included.

Turning around, Ryan was about to throw an attack, but he didn't see the claws of an ugly demon attacking him. Instead, he saw two girls on the ground with puffy eyes and tears running down their cheeks.

Izzy was sitting on the ground, her tail and wings on display behind her. Her maid uniform was slightly disheveled, and Ryan could see a red bra that matched the color of her eyes and hair on her right shoulder.

Lizzy was still in the same position he had ordered her to kneel in, and for the first time, he saw her face.

Her eyes, like her sister's, matched the color of her hair.

The alluring ocean-blue eyes reminded him of Mara's eyes.

Mara… swiveling back around, he saw Mara's eyes open in shock as she stared slack-jawed at Izzy.

"It's actually true," Mara muttered as she turned her gaze on Ryan, but contrary to Ryan's expectation, there was no malice in her eyes.

Instead, there was… reverence. But he had to be mistaken...

Sensing no hostility from either the sisters or Mara, Ryan slowly released his energy and looked at Izzy.

As Ryan released the tension in his body, his hearing came back to him.

"Izzy, what is this? Why can you talk now?" Ryan asked while gesturing to her transformation.

Izzy, teary-eyed and shaking, looked at Ryan with a mixture of hope, fear, and adoration.

Lizzy had scooted over to her sister and was stroking her sister's hair as she tried to calm her down. But her own face was smothered in tears as well, although a hopeful smile had appeared on her face.

Izzy shakingly got to her feet with the help of Lizzy, and as she stood, she pointed at Mara and said, "Before that, who is she?"

Hearing her not answer immediately, Ryan felt that primal side of him roar and try to break free. Ryan clearly felt that this primal side had a will of its own and that it was both urging him to take action and trying to control him at the same time.

Ryan suppressed the growing feeling of domination, and, turning to Mara, he began scrutinizing her.

Ryan didn't particularly know what was going on, but he heard the hidden meaning in Izzy's words.

'Is she on our side?' Ryan didn't know even if Izzy was on his side, but she was still his slave... at least he hoped.

Ryan had learned that the paid and fallen slave contracts weren't foolproof, and thus why heavenly contracts were so valuable.

But he didn't know how a person could get out of one, whether it was based on strength or something else.

For now, Ryan decided to side with the one not looking at him as if he was the worst human ever to exist.

Seriously, Mara's stare was intense.

Mara had recovered from her earlier shock and had her usual Icey persona on display.

She glared at the two girls and then looked back at Ryan, asking, "Who are you?"

Ryan, who had prepared himself for almost anything, faltered as the question hit him.

Did he make this girl cum so hard that she lost her memory? Was that possible?

Seeing Ryan's awestruck stare, she knew she was misunderstood.

Her constitution not only made her body language come across as cold, but also made her word choices come across in unfortunate ways.

"Your name, what is your name?" Mara said while staring at Ryan.

Inside, her heart was going a million miles an hour as she realized who Ryan was.

But on the outside, her chilly stare made Ryan defensive toward her.

Ryan heard the question, but he didn't know how to respond.

pAn,Da n<0,>v,e1 The first time he met Mara, he said his name was Ryan.

The heavenly screen said his name was Anthony, and he didn't even know his birth name on this planet.

The whole situation just gave Ryan a headache.

"My name is Anthony Dire, but I like to be called Ryan." He decided to say it as that would limit the confusion. Also, he would rather people call him Ryan, and he assumed other orphans didn't like being called Anthony Dire all the time as well.

Hearing this, Mara was frantically trying to come up with a way to appease Ryan as she knew she had messed up.

She had stormed over here and was planning on teaching him a lesson for lying to her, but not only had Ryan not lied, but he was…

Mara was so anxious that she didn't detect Ryan closing the distance between them until his hand touched her cheek.

She reflexively tried to move away as she felt a warm touch, but her body wouldn't budge.

She felt her body trying to attach itself to his hand, making sure he wouldn't let go.

All she could do was allow Ryan to move her face so that their eyes were connected.

Looking into his emerald green orbs, she muttered, "Overlord."
