Cheat Awakening

"Okay, now you can talk. So, how may I help you?" Myne first wiped his mouth with his sleeve and then his hands on his clothes, directly raping hygiene in front of everyone, before speaking with a smile. But because he was in disguise as a not-so-good-looking uncle, his smile didn't come close to its usual charm. Instead, it gave people a somewhat creepy feeling.

"Could you please remove your illusion first? It's not good manners to talk to someone while using a fake appearance," The beautiful woman said with a slight frown, clearly displeased by Myne's wild, barbaric behaviour but still she didn't treat him the same way she had the fatty, and spoke calmly.

"Sorry, but that can't be done.

I don't know how you became the matriarch of an assassin organization or whatever it is, but at least you shouldn't be ignorant of the consequences of revealing your identity to your enemy." Myne, who initially thought this beautiful woman might be some kind of big shot with a genius mind, had his internal assessment of her IQ plummet to the level of the fatty instantly after hearing her silly question.

At first, Myne thought the beautiful woman might lose her temper and order the Daiko, the mysterious demon to beat him after being rejected, just like the fatty. However, contrary to his imagination, after a few seconds of silence and a serious stare, she actually apologized as if she truly realized her mistake.

"I... I apologize for my ignorance. After residing within the castle for years, I've completely forgotten about the cruelty of the outside world." The beautiful woman bowed slightly after her sincere apology and continued, "So, Ahm, Mister, could you please explain the situation? Why did you attempt to cause trouble for us? Have we offended you in any way?"

Myne fell into an awkward silence after hearing the question because, from a third-party perspective, Myne was just too arrogant and carried away by his power. After feeling the hostile gaze from Alex, whom he was cursing out of jealousy just because he was having fun with a big shot's wife, he decided to beat him to satisfy his inner arrogance.

But he didn't expect things would go so far, and now, after thinking for a while, he already had realized his problem, and the original intention of causing trouble had long ago been thrown out of his mind.

However, there is no way Myne could simply say those words honestly. If he really did, I am afraid everyone would team up to beat him. After all, his reason for causing trouble is simply too childish, and he indeed deserves a good beating.

So, after a few moments of silence, just when everyone was getting impatient, Myne activated his Liar skill to full power and spoke with a fake troubled look on his face. Your next chapter is on empire

"Do I really need to give you a reason why I am looking for trouble with you? Tell me, what kind of business do you guys do, huh? Sheltering all kinds of criminals, assassins, and spies, providing them with food, weapons, potions, information, and even other unknown services as long as the money is sufficient. Does any of those things seem normal to you?

Do you have any idea how many innocent people are affected because of you guys helping those bastards?

Now it was Myne's turn to fall into silence. Because from a third-party perspective, Myne had simply been arrogant and carried away by his power. Feeling the hostile gaze of Alex, whom he was cursing out of jealousy just because he was having fun with a big shot's wife, Myne had decided to beat him up to satisfy his inner arrogance. However, things had gone much further than he'd anticipated.

After some reflection, he already realized his mistake and his initial goal of causing trouble had long been thrown out of his mind.

However, there was no way Myne could honestly admit his mistake. If he did, it was guaranteed that everyone would team up to beat him. After all, his reason for causing trouble was just too childish, and he certainly deserved a good beating.

So, after a few moments of silence, just as everyone was becoming impatient, Myne activated his Lair skill at full power and spoke with a feigned angry expression.

"Do I really need to explain why I'm looking for trouble with you? Tell me what kind of business do you people run, huh? You shelter all kinds of criminals - assassins, spies - providing them with food, weapons, potions, information, and even other unknown services as long as the money is sufficient. Does any of that seem normal in your eyes?

Do you have any idea how many innocent people are affected because of you aiding those bastards?"

"Just recently, while I was out on some personal business, my daughter suddenly went missing from town. I frantically searched for her whereabouts for almost a month, but nothing was found. Just when I was about to lose hope, I discovered that a few unknown thugs who were staying in your bar escaped from soldiers and later kidnapped her. Now, tell me if I should be angry with you or not.

If this fatty hadn't been a brain-dead idiot and someone serious had been in his place, believe it or not, I would have already erased this entire place from the ground."

After Myne stopped speaking to play the role of a desperate and angry father drowning in his daughter's disappearance, he unleashed the King's Intimidation at full power. This once again shook the entire bar, as if struck by a high-level earthquake.

If not for the fact that the beautiful woman and the Daiko, the mysterious demon, could see through his illusion, Myne would have even tried to create special effects like bloodshot eyes and veins on his forehead to further illustrate his supposed anger.

"While Myne was proudly praising himself in his mind for again creating such a wonderful script out of thin air in just a few seconds, as well as his amazing acting, everyone else had completely different thoughts. Most of the audience were cold-blooded killers, so they didn't even blink after learning that Myne, was a poor father who had lost his daughter.

They just felt a cold dread spread through them because of his power and began preparing to flee in case this 'uncle' (Myne) exploded in rage and started slaughtering everyone.

Alex, who hadn't taken Myne seriously although he had some doubts after hearing his story because Myne was just too calm a few seconds ago and didn't look like he lost his daughter at all, also moved away. While he had doubts about Myne's story, his power was undeniably terrifying.

As for the fatty trio, they had become transparent, standing frozen in front of the basement stairs. Their turn to speak had passed a long time ago; they could only passively obey orders and prepare to receive punishment upon their return.

Only the beautiful woman had a complicated look on her face. Even she didn't know how to solve this problem by simply being a good person. In the end, she decided to be direct instead of wasting time on useless arguments.

"Mister, your accusations against us are completely baseless, after all, if we didn't let them take shelter and they went to a normal inn, would you still go there and kill everyone just because they were doing their job? Yes, if we had a direct hand in your daughter's kidnapping, then you could indeed blame us.

But just because we're doing business peacefully, you can't just come here and cause trouble.

"I believe you are also a smart man, and there's no need to make us enemies over something we haven't even done. So, please apologize for your mistake and return home. We will consider this to have never happened, and everyone will leave in harmony," The beautiful woman said kindly while staring at Myne. Even if he still didn't give in now, then she definitely wouldn't mind showing him his place.

Although she treated everyone gently and equally, it didn't mean she was weak and everyone could climb on her head.

"Sigh, fine. I apologize for the trouble I caused you guys, please forgive me." Myne, who managed to save face despite his own mistake, didn't hesitate and offered a sincere apology.

"By the way, before you kick me out, can I ask you a question? It's really very important, and I might not be able to sleep peacefully if I didn't get the answer." Just when Myne was about to leave, his eyes suddenly fell on the fatty in the background who was hiding behind the colossal-breasted girl, and he asked curiously.

"Sure, as long as it's within my capabilities, I don't mind satisfying your curiosity," The beautiful woman, who had formed a good impression of this unique father whose mood swings were faster than a child's, replied with a smile.

"Is... that fatty really your son? I mean, is he your biological son?"

There was a pin-drop silence after Myne finished speaking. Everyone, except for the parties involved, picks up their eyes curiously. After all, the beautiful woman in the hologram clearly possessed otherworldly beauty. Although the hologram's picture quality isn't very high, there is no comparison between her and the fatty at all.

If the colossal-breasted girl hadn't mentioned she was the fatty's mother, nobody would believe it even if they were beaten to death.

"No, we aren't related by blood. He is my stepson. I had a political marriage with his father to protect my place after the war," The beautiful woman hesitated for a moment but still told the truth. Everyone in her region already knew about it, and it didn't matter if she said it or not. However, a pang of regret and pain always stabbed her heart whenever she mentioned it.

If only she had been strong enough, she wouldn't have had to marry that pig and wouldn't have to clean up his pig children's messes every so often.

"Just as I expected. How could a beautiful and gentle woman like you have such a pig for a son? Even if he inherited 99% of his pig father's genes, there should still be some qualities of yours. But in his case, well, forget it. Thank you for satisfying my curiosity. I think I should better head home now.

It's already quite late. Sigh, I hope my wife doesn't beat me to death as soon as she sees me. I promised to take her on a date," Myne pulled out his watch, but upon seeing that there were only ten minutes left to 10, his legs felt like they lost all their strength. Maya's angry, smiling face flashed through his mind.
