"Long time no see you, Father-in-law." I smiled at Earl Riea after entering the house.
Earl Riea's stiffened when he heard my voice. And when he remembered Mia's words of just now, he understood everything.
His face immediately became pale.
The first thing he felt was rage, then hatred, then sadness, then fear, and finally hopelessness.
That rollercoaster of emotions caused him to stagger backward until he plopped down on the ground.
He then looked at Louise, Claire, and Mia and laughed self-deprecatingly.
"Hahaha… So this is the true reason you asked me to come here, huh."
In fact, Earl Riea had thought about this possibility before coming here, but he decided to believe that it was impossible.
He didn't want to think about the possibility of his family betraying him.
However, now that things were like this, there was no use in denying the reality.
"Do you hate me that much?" He asked his daughters and his wife.
Claire and Mia looked away, but Louise just sneered.
"I don't hate you, father. I'm just returning to you what you did to us."
Earl Riea smiled bitterly before looking at me.
"It looks like you don't plan to allow us to live, Claus. Did Allan…?"
"Yes, I already dealt with him."
"Is it so?" Earl Riea's expression became hopeless. "As I thought, Christine betrayed us as well."
"You betrayed her family first after all."
"Yeah, I should have expected it… It's just that… I was just grabbing at straws. I had a slim hope that she still loved Allan."
"She loved him," I replied. "But she hated him more than that."
"… I understand." Earl Riea sighed and stood up. He then looked at Mia, Claire, Louise, and finally at his son, Al, before looking at me.
"Can I ask you for something? I won't resist, but please, spare my son."
"Father!"
"… Don't try to avenge me, Al. Just… Go to a place far away from here and start a new life."
"Father…"
Al's eyes became red. He then glared at me with an expression of hatred, but in the next second, his eyes were filled with fear.
Just the thought of facing me made his legs shake. He could not even look straight into my eyes.
It was the effect of the Seed of Fear that I put on him a while ago. To Al, it was impossible to resist me.
But Earl Riea did not know that. When he saw his son's reacting like that to my gaze, he sighed in disappointment.
He knew that even if his son survived today, there was no hope that he would be avenged.
I looked at that scene in amusement. Seeing the man who opposed me since the start of this life in this hopeless situation filled me with glee.
However, I could not end my revenge like this. I needed to make him feel pure despair. With a grin, I walked towards him slowly.
"Don't worry, I won't kill him. But don't be mistaken, I'm not doing it for you."
I then walked towards Louise and grabbed her hand.
"After all, my future wife asked me to spare his life."
Earl Riea's expression became complicated, but then, he saw me walking towards Claire.
"And she was not the only one. Claire also asked me to spare you." I said while caressing her hair and kissing her lips.
Earl Riea's stiffened.
He already knew about my relationship with Louise, but he never expected that Claire and I had the same kind of relationship.
Thinking about the fact that his two daughters ended as the women of his worst enemy made him feel powerless.
But to his surprise, I did not stop there.
Instead, I walked towards Mia.
"… It can't be." Earl Riea's face became pale.
I ignored him and looked straight into Mia's eyes. Mia understood my meaning and nodded.
I grinned.
"And my mother-in-law asked for the same as well."
Before Earl Riea could speak, I caressed Mia's cheek before kissing her lips deeply.
Unlike my kiss with Claire, I did not stop just kissing her this time. It was a deep kiss, one where our tongues intertwined with each other, and our saliva ended in each other's mouths.
I could feel Mia's shivering in embarrassment, but she did not resist. Instead, she hugged my neck and followed my lead.
During the entire kiss, she did not look at his husband even once.
When our kiss finished, Earl Riea and Al were looking at us with ashen looks.
"… M-Mia…"
"M-Mom…"
Mia looked down and sighed.
"Sorry, but I decided to become his woman as well."
Earl Riea's body trembled.
At that moment, his eyes were filled with despair.
He did not cry, he did not struggle, and he did not try to attack me.
He just looked at us dazedly, unable to hide the despair and pain he was feeling.
"How do you feel, father-in-law? Did you like my gift?"
"… H-Ha… Hahaha… Hahahahaha… Hahahahahaha…!"
"Mm? It looks like you broke down. How tasteless. Well, it's time to end this farce." I spoke indifferently and walked towards him.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. That would make my darlings sad." I said as I put my hand on his abdomen. "But I will make sure to leave you with nothing."
With these words, I sent a surge of mana inside his abdomen.
In the next second, Earl Riea's face became pale, and he coughed a mouthful of blood.
He immediately understood what I had done.
I had crippled his cultivation.
From today onwards, he was not better than a normal person.
"… Monster…" He glared at me with rage and hatred in his eyes.
"Thank you." I smiled. "Now, get lost."
Opening a portal behind him, I threw him into it.
This portal would send him to a faraway place, where he will never have a chance to return.
I then turned towards Al.
"Now, it's your turn."
"N-No... P-Please..."
Without giving him the chance to resist, I crippled his cultivation as well and send him to the same place as his father.
With this, I had finally completed my revenge.
