Supreme Landlord System: My Harem of Enchanting Goddesses

Chapter 10

​Barra's calf muscles tensed sharply.

​He accidentally maximized the twenty percent physical enhancement effect from the System fully across his entire neural network.

​"Talk too much!" Barra cut in flatly with a dismissive look in his eyes.

​He kicked the half-full paint bucket lying right near the tip of his left knee hard.

​The thick white liquid flew, hitting the scarred man's face squarely.

​"Argh! My eyes! Damn it!" the man screamed in pain.

​The scarred man instantly let go of his machete in a panic. He staggered backward hitting his partner while rubbing his face covered in thick paint.

​Barra did not waste that opportunity. There was an open gap to be exploited.

​He rolled forward. His right hand picked up the steel machete that just fell near his shoe.

​"Now it is my turn!" Barra said rising on one knee.

​He swung the machete hard. He slashed the ankles of two other attackers in one full rotation.

​"My leg! Bastard, my leg is cut off!" the stocky attacker screamed hysterically shattering the night.

​The two men fell, lying on the floor almost simultaneously. Blood seeped quickly wetting their boots.

​Barra stood up. He immediately took a solid fighting stance.

​The fourth man standing in the back row tried to surge forward. "Die, you bastard!"

​Barra did not block, he stepped sideways slightly avoiding the slash, then immediately slammed the base of his machete handle hard into the fourth man's jaw.

​The sound of a rough jaw crack was heard again. The man fainted instantly and collapsed on top of his friends' pile on the floor.

​The remaining fifth man stood stiffly with both knees trembling violently.

​He stared in horror seeing his four fierce partners leveled to the ground in just seconds.

​"Still want to take my head for your boss?" Barra asked staring sharply at the man and stepping forward one step.

​The last man dropped his weapon to the cement floor with a loud clatter.

​"S-sorry! Mercy, Boss!" the man stuttered with a pale face.

​"Take this trash away from my boarding house!" Barra ordered pointing at the bodies groaning in pain on the floor. "Now!"

​The remaining gang members hurried to pull their fallen friends with great difficulty.

​They turned around, running in fear leaving the boarding house area while dragging their injured partners.

​Barra dropped his confiscated weapon to the floor.

​He took a long breath to neutralize his heartbeat. He walked unsteadily entering room number two they just painted.

​His right hand kept pressing his left shoulder which continuously bled fresh blood wetting his undershirt.

​"Barra! You are bleeding badly!" Valerie exclaimed greeting him quickly at the room's doorway.

​The woman did not care at all about Barra's messy dirty shoes or clothes.

​Valerie immediately pulled Barra's uninjured arm with a very worried look.

​"Sit here right now!" Valerie ordered sitting the man on the edge of the kapok mattress without much ado.

​"Do not nag, this is just a normal wound. It will heal by itself later," Barra replied holding back a soft wince when his back touched the cold room wall.

​"Normal wound my ass! Your blood is dripping dirtying the floor!" Valerie snapped in a panic responding to the man's indifferent attitude.

​Valerie's eyes swept every corner of the empty room quickly. She looked for a clean cloth or a water bottle, but the room was completely empty.

​"This damn boarding house does not even have a first aid kit," Valerie grumbled biting her lower lip hard holding back frustration.

​Without any hesitation, the woman pulled the edge of the expensive designer shirt she was wearing.

​Valerie forcefully tore the bottom of her shirt circularly using all her strength.

​That rough movement drastically shortened her shirt upward.

​She blatantly exposed a bit of her clean white flat stomach area under the dim light bulb.

​"You tore an expensive shirt just to treat a poor man's wound?" Barra mocked staring straight at the woman's panicked face.

​"Shut up! Be quiet! Your life is much more valuable than this shirt!" Valerie retorted sharply without looking away from the open wound on Barra's shoulder.

​Valerie shifted forward pressing her body until both her knees directly touched Barra's thighs.

​"Hold on a second, this will sting," Valerie whispered with a softening tone.

​The woman wrapped the cloth with a fast and strong movement. She pressed the torn wound on Barra's shoulder to stop the bleeding.

​Valerie's breath blew very warmly and regularly from this close distance.

​The air from her nose hit the skin surface of Barra's neck constantly without obstruction.

​Their positions were very tight on the edge of the narrow mattress. Their faces were only a few centimeters apart.

​Valerie leaned her upper body further forward to tie the cloth knot behind Barra's shoulder.

​That hugging movement from the front made her cleavage press lightly against Barra's right bicep.

​Every time the woman moved to pull the knot, that gentle friction happened again unavoidably for both of them.

​"Is the knot too tight?" Valerie asked softly without realizing her very awkward-inviting position.

​"It fits. Do not loosen it anymore," Barra answered briefly and calmly.

​Barra let the intense touch continue.

​He enjoyed the fragrant aroma of Valerie's expensive perfume mixed strongly with the smell of cement dust and wet paint in the room.

​Valerie's hands trembled slightly when she managed to lock the last knot right above the wound covering cloth.

​The woman did not immediately pull her body away after her task was done.

​"You are truly crazy," Valerie whispered staring deep into Barra's sharp eyes. "You could have died chopped to pieces in the front hallway."

​"Relax, no one can kill you in my own boarding house," Barra replied.

​Valerie snorted softly hearing the man's answer.

​However, the woman's ears slowly blushed bright red. She felt Barra's heartbeat beating steadily behind the broad chest close to her.

​"So arrogant. Do you not know that arrogance can make you die faster?" Valerie muttered lowering her face to hide the blush on her cheeks.

​Barra smiled faintly responding to the sarcastic mockery without giving an argument.

​Suddenly, the System screen appeared breaking the absolute silence inside Barra's head.

​A bright glowing gold emergency notification suddenly covered his visual sight.

​The System's voice buzzed loudly giving a medical emergency warning.

​[Critical Warning! Host is experiencing moderate bleeding. Cell regeneration delayed due to drastically decreasing body temperature.]

​Barra narrowed his eyes reading the glowing text line blinking rapidly on his retina screen.

​[Physical Healing Mission Active.]

​[Assistance Target: Tenant Zero One (Valerie Sinclair).]

​"What mission now?" Barra asked flatly in his mind.

​[Instruction: Perform direct body temperature transfer with Tenant Zero One through intense physical touch.]

​[Success Condition: The temperature transfer duration must last for the next ten minutes continuously.]

​Barra took a long breath reading the absolute condition on the transparent screen.

​"Bastard System. You are intentionally taking advantage of a tight situation!" Barra cursed inwardly.
