Cheat Awakening

"Lord husband, what the hell? What kind of ores did you give Lewis? Just for a few measly pieces, he gives us so much money? If I hadn't seen it myself, I wouldn't believe it even if someone slapped me!" Sylphy, walking out of the portal with disbelief still etched on her slightly flushed face, exclaimed.

"Don't make it a big deal, honey. Didn't we previously sell some monster corpses and earn ten times more money than today? Compared to them, it's nothing," Myne replied, indifferent to this minor profit. His inventory had more than twenty-eight thousand platinum coins, so a mere three thousand wasn't enough to excite him like Sylphy.

To him, this amount of money is just like that, simply too insignificant, not worth mentioning.

Aisha, who overheard their commotion, curiously descended the stairs and inquired, "What are you two talking about?"

"Remember those few ores Myne told you about, the ones we went to sell to Lewis? Guess how much Lewis gave us for them?" Sylphy, instead of replying directly, inquired mysteriously and wanted to give Aisha the same feeling she had been experiencing right now.

"Ten platinum coins maybe? I don't think they could be worth more than that," Aisha pondered for a moment before replying, raising an eyebrow. Clearly, she held the same initial belief as Sylphy, before she had peeked inside the storage ring.

"Hahaha, that's what I thought too! But we were both completely wrong." Sylphy chuckles while shaking his head. With a wave of her hand, a mountain of shimmering coins materialized in the middle of the living room, making Aisha so surprised that her eyes literally bulged from their sockets.

"F*ck! How can this be? How can those little ores be so valuable? Are you sure your young brother hasn't gone crazy, Sylphy? I think you should go and check his brain," Aisha exclaimed. As a former receptionist with a monthly salary of only a few dozen gold coins, Aisha had never even seen platinum coins before meeting with Myne.

Her reaction was far more dramatic than Sylphy's, a princess whose pocket was quite empty before meeting Myne, but her family's pocket wasn't, and she had a big-shot rich younger brother. She was accustomed to using platinum coins and had done plenty of shopping with them.

Sylphy sighed and shook her head. "At first, I thought so too. But Lewis didn't seem crazy at all. In fact, he encouraged me to find more of those ores and said he was willing to buy them at this outrageous price. He even offered to sell himself! So, I think these ores might truly be worth it.

Regardless, this is good for us. No matter how much she wanted to try to deny it, but she have to admit that your husband's ability to make money is simply beyond the comprehension of normal people. At least I couldn't do this in my lifetime."

"Okay, you two have fun. I still have a minor matter to settle. I'll try to be back before dinner. Oh, and you can share this money between yourselves. Currently, I have enough to handle clan matters." With those final words, Myne opened the portal again and disappeared from sight. However, unlike before, neither girl even looked his way.

Their heads only had one voice echoing continuously.

"GET RICH!"

...

"It seems like you guys are enjoying yourselves very well, don't you?" Myne, who had just come out of the portal saw Gwen showing off her new dress to her Mother. Her entire bed was overflowing with a variety of clothes and accessories as if she had bought out the entire market. She certainly hadn't hesitated to spend the money Myne had given her.

Thankfully, she hadn't purchased any useless items, and most of them would be used by her sooner or later. As expected of someone who had lived in poverty her entire life, not a single coin was wasted in her hands. If it was Sylphy in her place, 40% of things in those items might be useless and just look good from the outside.

"Lord Myne! You're finally here! Look, I bought some good things for Mother and me," Gwen exclaimed with an excited smile, holding a blue dress in front of herself. "How do you think this dress looks on me?"

"Yes, it looks perfect on you," Myne confirmed kindly. "Blue suits you quite well. By the way, did you go shopping alone? Someone didn't cause trouble for you, right?" He asked, a touch of worry in his voice. He genuinely feared someone might try to take advantage of Gwen's innocence and bulging pockets.

Gwen shook her head reassuringly. "No, no one troubled me directly. Although, some unscrupulous shopkeepers did inflate their prices after seeing my wealth. But at least they were honest, and the items seem genuine, not cheap knockoffs." Find adventures at empire

She then approached Myne with an expectant look, clearly desiring something more.

"You did well," Myne said with a doting smile, patting her soft hair. "As expected of my future wife, advisor, and clan manager, you haven't disappointed me. However, for future outings, I suggest hiring a guide from the inn to accompany you. This would help you avoid shady shops and potential scams. You see, some establishments even employ assassins and thieves.

If they encounter someone wealthy with an unknown background, like yourself, they might target you for robbery. Believe it or not, you fit in their category of perfect candidate."

"No wonder! After shopping, I always felt like someone was watching me. Those people were probably trying to gather information about me. Damn it! I shouldn't have tipped that bastard! How dare he scheme against me?" Gwen slammed her feet angrily on the ground to vent her anger, her pout making her look more cute than fierce.

"Okay, okay, calm down," Myne soothed. "Now that everything seems fine here, I can rest assured. However, I have an urgent matter to handle. Delaying it any further could be a real pain in my ass.

Though I'd love to spend more time with you, Gwen, but sadly I have to go..." His gaze softened, though he really wanted to stay with Gwen, but thinking about Miss Rosewell's injured face and worrying that she might be getting abused by her fat psycho husband again, he couldn't help but feel a bit unsettled in his heart, making him restless.

"So soon? But you just arrived. Can't you at least stay for dinner? Please?" Gwen's playful demeanour vanished, replaced by anxiety. Her voice pleaded. She sounded like a desperate, lovesick wife trying to prevent her husband from going to war.

Hahaha, don't make that face. It's not like I won't be back... Fine, just two hours. Give me two hours, and I'll be back in a flash. Then we can have a wonderful dinner together." He knew Gwen might start overthinking, a common problem with many girls. Seeing her on the verge of tears, he sighed helplessly and gave in.

Thankfully, there were still more than three hours until their family dinner, and he was confident he could resolve everything within that timeframe.

"YES! Then I..."

"Ahem!"

"We are waiting for you, don't be late, alright?" Gwen who was forced to correct herself quickly said merrily. The mother-daughter duo had long grown accustomed to such exchanges.

Myne directed a meaningful look towards Fiora before embracing Gwen's soft body and sealing her lips. Their deep, passionate kiss was intense enough to make Fiora gnaw on her nails in a fit of envy and jealousy.

"Those two horny rabbits have no respect for their elders at all," Fiora grumbled under her breath, watching Myne and Gwen's passionate embrace. Their hands roamed each other's bodies, occasionally touching sensitive areas, further fueling Fiora's ire.

"Cough! Cough! Just how long are you two shameless creatures going to stick to each other right in front of my eyes?" Fiora interrupted, her voice laced with mock outrage. "While I acknowledge my open-mindedness, it doesn't mean you can flaunt your passion for love constantly! And Gwen, you perverted daughter! Is this how I raised you?

Where are your manners? If I had behaved like that in front of my Mother at your age, she would have spanked me hundreds of times before locking me in a room for weeks! But you..."

"Already, Mother, I understand just how many times you are going to repeat the same thing. Also, haven't you just acknowledged that you are an open-minded person? Then what's wrong with seeing your daughter giving her lover a goodbye kiss? Haven't you done this in your time?" Gwen said casually, clearly dissatisfied with being interrupted during their lovely time.

But obviously, she couldn't be angry with her Mother, so she could only use her own words to taunt her.

"I better go now. You two have fun," Myne, seeing Fiora's face getting red from anger and knowing that Gwen was in trouble, quickly said goodbye. He took one of Fiora's skills for which he came here and quickly ran away with his teleportation skill under Gwen's confused eyes.

"You damn girl! You are done for today. How dare you talk to your Mother like that!!!
