Cheat Awakening

"See," Aisha said, shaking her head as she held Myne's hand, and looked at The Boss's house in front of her. "I told you they wouldn't dare to create any conspiracy behind our backs. You're just being paranoid now. How could everyone have the courage to mess with someone they know they have no chance of winning against?"

"Well...maybe you're right. But being cautious is never a wrong thing, right? At least now we don't have to worry about them stabbing us in the back by informing that noble that we're behind his back to f*ck him up."

Myne, who wanted to silence all those gangsters because he had already stolen their skills, and leaving them alive is no different than hitting the axe on his own feet, after all once they realised they were completely unable to use their skills after they met him unless they are stupid beyond words, it only matter of time before he has face god know how many hidden danger, could only make excuses to convince Aisha.

But deep down he already made up his mind to clear all of them after dropping Aisha back, they were just too dangerous for his peaceful future.

"I see that your mouth recently becoming more and more dirty, you better control this naughty tongue of yours, otherwise your teeth might have to pay the price... Sigh, so, what's next? Are you going to deal with the Viscount's son? I think you should talk to Sylphy. She might have some information about them," Aisha after giving a minor threat, suggested with a worried face.

After all, dealing with nobles was never an easy task. Once you made a slight mistake, then the never-ending waves of trouble waiting in front of you, wouldn't stop until one of them lost their head.

"No need to trouble Sylphy. Based on her character, I doubt she has information about such a minor noble. Don't forget, there are higher ranks above Viscount. How could a random noble from the second-to-last rank have a chance to attract the attention of a princess? Leave this matter to me. I have a friend who is an information broker.

Most of the time he has every little detail regarding those big shots, even minor things that happened a few hours ago couldn't escape from his sharp ears, I am sure he'll have the answer to our questions."

"Now, you go home and sleep peacefully, it is not good for your beauty to stay awake at late night. Oh, and after this, I'm going to Big Sis's house and staying there tonight. She said there was still some work to do on this curse, so even if Mr. Ghost wanted to harm me through it, it couldn't do it. I'll come back after dealing with everything...

Sorry, honey, I can't give you and Sylphy a goodnight treat tonight, but I promise I'll make it up tomorrow," After saying that, Myne gave Aisha a bear hug, and a deep, passionate kiss before opening a portal.

Aisha understood that there was something Myne wanted to do that he didn't want her to see. After taking a goodnight kiss, she nodded and said, "Take care," before walking into the portal.

"Phew, finally alone. Better deal with this matter quickly. My appointment time is approaching," Myne muttered, checking his watch. It was already 8:50 and the sense of urgency became even more profound. He hurriedly activated his Mirror's Masquerade skill, transforming into a red-skinned, pointy-horned demon with a long tail, a common sight in Alban Tower, before knocking on the boss's house door.

Since you are going to commit a sin, better do it in demon form; maybe when I die and go to hell, maybe those guys over there will offer me a job seeing my past record? Myne thought jokingly.

Soon, Lokka's mother opened the door. Her face was flushed red from continuous crying, her clothes were a complete mess as if someone was trying to rape her. Anyway, after seeing Myne in his demon form, the already shocked and mentally unstable woman fainted from fear. Myne, having no business with her, didn't touch her.

He dragged her inside the house and let her sleep peacefully on the ground before searching for his target's whereabouts. He soon discovered a still-open secret basement door, which surprised him quite a bit.

Activating a few defensive skills to protect himself from unexpected surprises, Myne entered the basement. It wasn't a long journey; within seconds, he found himself in a small room that turned out to be the boss's treasure trove. Years of loot were hidden here: a multitude of golden objects, mostly jewellery; a small mountain of coins, both gold and silver but not a single bronze one.

A collection of exclusive books, weapons, and some miscellaneous items. Compared to Myne's inventory, which contained many eye-opening things like all his girls' wet panties saved as trophies and of course, emergency uses, this secret base was very normal.

Hearing a voice behind him, the boss, who was hurriedly stuffing valuables into a large bag, assumed it was Lokka's mother who had come to see him to ask about her son. However, when he noticed that she didn't speak, which was completely different from her usual style, he quickly turned around, but what greeted him was a wind blade that instantly severed his head.

"Well, this guy's wealth isn't much, but it's better than nothing. I can give these beautiful jewels to my girls. Aisha will surely love this blue necklace, and this silver sword is the perfect gift for Sylphy. As for the others... I'll figure it out later. We're running out of time," Myne muttered as he hurriedly tossed everything useful into his inventory.

He then opened a portal in front of the fatty Nether, and his bald brother, whose house was just two blocks away from the boss's.

Both brothers were still lying unconscious outside their house because neither the henchmen nor the boss had their house key. This is good news for Myne as he didn't have to waste time searching their place now. After casually throwing two wind blades at them, sending them to join their boss, he sighed in relief and opened a portal back to Lucas Town.

As for those two henchmen, since he hadn't stolen their skills, eliminating them was unnecessary.

...

"Sigh, so this bar hasn't fallen apart yet, huh? Wait, why does this sentence seem so familiar?" Myne mused, looking at "The Night Wine " 's weathered facade." While it served most people as a bar, some shady figures, like Myne who walked the line between good and bad, knew it as a haven for wanted criminals, spies from various kingdoms, assassins, bounty hunters, and the like.

Every town with a large enough population had such a bar, deeply hidden to make them difficult to find. This was why Myne, instead of heading to the capital city's information bar (which likely had more information), came to the one in Lucas Town because currently, he only knew about this one.

Previously, when Myne had come here, he had to buy special assassin attire to hide his identity. But now, thanks to some generous people, who heartfully give him their skills, it become very easy for Myne. Before entering the bar, he quickly cast Illusory Veil skill on his body, transforming it into that of a middle-aged uncle.

Despite its ramshackle exterior, the interior of the bar was surprisingly pleasant and luxurious, offering a warm, homey feeling – if you could ignore the assortment of rough and unsavoury characters who eyed you as if they wanted to eat you alive. The one-eyed bartender remained the same, meticulously polishing an already spotless glass.

Only he knew what purpose this seemingly pointless task served.

Let's see what this guy's levels are now. There were only question marks last time. No way I can't see through him now, Myne thought with keen interest. He quickly cast Appraisal on the bartender.

Wine Maker LV: ( Max ) ]

What the f*ck! Myne cursed internally. This guy's still so powerful? And what the hell do those skill forms represent? I'm still stuck on my basic forms, and this bastard, like Big Sis, has unlocked the third form and even has three exclusive skills related to it! And most importantly, what's going on with this 'secret lover of Countess'?

As far as I know, this guy spends most of his time in this bar and rarely leaves even town. So when did he meet the Countess, and how'd he even manage to get into her skirts? Dude, at least look at your age! This is the time to be playing with grandchildren, not trying to steal other people's wives and make a family of your own!

Consumed by jealousy, Myne couldn't help but criticize Alex. However, as soon as he did that, he felt a chill run down his spine. Turning his head, he noticed that the person whom he was cursing was actually looking coldly at him with his only eye and gesturing for him to come nearer.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
