My Wives Are Too Overpowered

Chapter 106 Actions Have Consequences

Chapter 106 Actions Have Consequences

Alex was surprised with Linc hugging him so suddenly while Melissa and Nix wondered what just happened.

As for Nicole and Lucielle, they were frowning as they watched a waiter hugging Alex and saying master.

This uniform Linc was wearing, it belonged to the staff of the Three Moons.

"M-M-Master…" Linc said in a panic stricken voice.

Alex had not seen Linc in such a state ever since her rescue from those chuunis.

Knowing this was something serious, he got up from his seat and excused himself from the table.

Getting out of the hall and into a secluded corner, Alex asked, "what's wrong?"

Linc's expression was grave. "M-Master… there… smell… guys…"

Linc's words were broken due to her panic, but Alex made out what she was trying to tell.

She seemed to have stumbled across guys that smelled really bad. This sounded stupid, but Alex had a hunch that there was more to it than what Linc could convey.

In the midst of their conversation, Linc's eyes widened and she exclaimed, "smell! Smell! Smell!"

She took Alex's hand and tried to run away, only to see four guys in staff clothes block her path.

[Ding!]

[A new quest has started!]

+

Alex frowned at the sudden messages and his expression turned grave once he saw the four staff guys.

The four staff members took off their left hand's gloves as they walked near Alex and Linc, making their faces distort and change into that of something unrecognizable.

It was as if there was some blurry censorship on their faces and the only thing noteworthy about these guys was the red 'X' tattooed on the back of their palms.

One step… two steps… three steps…

The surroundings around Alex changed as these guys neared him and turned pitch black, with only the guys and Linc visible to him.

Alex hugged Linc close to him, trying to protect her from these guys, and stared right at the four men.

Linc was shivering uncontrollably and muttering, "bad smell… foul smell…"

Alex felt something warm on his shirt right in the next instant as Linc said that.

Surprised, he looked down, only to see blood leaking out of Linc's nose and passing through his shirt.

It would be a lie to say Alex didn't panic at this very instant. His heart began beating fast enough for Linc to feel the beats as she rested her head on his chest, and a drop of sweat trickled down his neck.

Alex tried to stay calm and rational in this situation. The first priority in his head was to treat Linc because excessive bleeding was fatal.

However, hair all over his body stood on their ends as danger bells rang all over his mind.

Alex was forced to shift his priority of treating Linc and turn to look at the guys walking close to him.

"A???????????l??????????e???????x?????????????a??????n????????????d????????e????????r??????????????? ???????????????G????????????r????a?????????y???????????…"

A demonic screech resounded in Alex and Linc's heads, bringing sharp pain to the two.

Linc passed out while Alex was on the verge of collapsing as well.

Alex's nose started bleeding at this point, but he held on and looked at the guys in front of him.

Even though they had said some incorrigible words, he was able to make out what they were.

The four men had expected Alex to not collapse.

Their blurry faces turned into a vicious smile and they let out some more demonic screeches.

Alex felt his head was about to explode with those words. Not only his nose, but he began bleeding from all seven orifices on his head.

Alex's vision turned red and the words he heard in his mind were:

"Finish the deal."

He couldn't make out what these people were talking about.

"Sign… it…"

Alex then heard those words. His gaze turned up and through his red vision, he saw a paper and pen in front of him.

With immense pain coursing through his entire body, Alex felt he was on the verge of collapsing.

It was at this point that his body's final survival mechanism was triggered.

His adrenaline shot up, his pupils contracted, and for a few seconds, complete clarity returned to his brain.

In a single moment, thousands of thoughts rain through Alex's mind and in the next moment, all thoughts began screaming one thing:

HEALING POTIONS!

[Purchasing healing potions…]

[Applying healing potions…]

Two system messages appeared in front of his eyes and right in the next few instances, the red vision cleared up and Alex returned to normalcy.

Not wasting this opportunity, Alex immediately pulled out the guns from his inventory and fired at the four men.

To his surprise, the guns didn't work and the four men's smiles turned wider.

"It's useless," heard Alex in his head along with the demonic screech.

The sharp pain returned and Alex was about to purchase more potions to heal himself when…

BURST! BURST! BURST! BURST!

A slender leg kicked the four men's heads, making them all burst in an instant.

Blood splattered everywhere and drenched Alex, Linc, and their surroundings red.

The bodies of the four collapsed and the sharp pain from his head was gone, but the excess blood loss made Alex collapse.

The final thing he saw in his vision was a blurry figure with cyan hair, making him break out in a relieved smile as he collapsed.

…..

Inside a suite in the Three Moons hotel.

"I was late!" Nix exclaimed as she watched the resting Alex and Linc on the bed.

Melissa held Nix's hand and said, "it's okay. At least you made it there and not a lot of damage was done."

Nix's expression was that of a concerned wife currently.

"Big sis, isn't this too early? Those fools shouldn't be making contact with husband so soon."

Melissa nodded her head. "That's true. But, you know it right that we can't really predict Fate and Destiny. It's not in our hands."

Nix knitted her brows and stared at Melissa. "I wanna refute it, but I am unable to. It's annoying me."

Melissa sighed. "They're the law of the universe, my sweet sis. If one could predict and play with them, won't one be above them?"

Nix sighed while Melissa did so too.

Even if they were all sisters, laws were laws and couldn't be changed just for the sake of their betterment.

Plus, all of the things happening were something the result of their husband's own choices.

It was all an automatic result of his own cause and effect.

To put in even simpler words, the consequences their husband was suffering was due to his own actions.

If Gene Cultivation made him strong and had him break through the laws of the world, the world would resist it by making changes to his cause and effect.

The level at which the resistance happened was entirely dependent on the things threatening its laws.

In Alex's case, his Gene Cultivation could open a new path which could result in many people opting for it and eventually breaking the laws of the world even further.

It was a threat to the normal running conditions of the world and thus, his actions had severe consequences.

The world couldn't directly interfere, but it could intertwine Alex's cause and effect with the others of similar level.

"So, big sis, how grave are their injuries?" Nix asked.

She wasn't a God like Melissa currently. She was just a?mortal with some powers and connections.

To get more power, she would have to work hard and pass through the Celestial Archway of Ascendance, which could only happen if her husband brought it to her.

Powers for her and her sisters were fixed appropriately to the realms they were in.

Melissa smiled and said, "it isn't a lot. Linlin's constitution apparently lets her smell of evil auras and she passed out when the smell was intolerable. She should be fine on her own as her body will slowly heal itself. As for husband, he should be up at any minute now."

"What?" Nix was surprised. "Nothing happened to him?"

Melissa shook her head. "He's quite strong mentally. After all, he has his soul from his previous life."

"I see."

Melissa then smiled and continued, "he's probably going through the rewards of his mission right now and has forgotten to wake up.

"Hmm?"

Melissa chuckled. "Just wait, you'll know of it soon."
