Cheat Awakening

"After that trial, no other member was ready to sacrifice themselves for the greater good, so we honestly put aside our revenge and pretended to know nothing. I strongly suggested my people not to leave the house at night," Gandu finished speaking, rubbing his palm on his shiny head with an annoyed expression before sighing helplessly.

"I see... This is going to be a bit troublesome... By the way, if I want to repeat the same trap as you, do you think there would be anyone who would volunteer to be bait?" Myne asked with a troubled look on his face, playing with a small pouch in his free hand.

"Of course, Your Highness, for you, for our kingdom's safety, there are still a lot of sensible people who are willing to sacrifice themselves. If it were me, they would surely refuse, but for you, they would be more than happy to do anything," Gandu said with a smile, his eyes glued to the pouch in Myne's hand and rubbing his hands together.

"Good, good, then I leave this matter to you. I will return to you tonight, and we will set this trap. I want to see who these bastards are who were messing with my kingdom," Myne threw the pouch at Gandu before continuing. "Next, I want to know about some interesting things happening in the kingdom."

Saying that Myne took out Garnet's notebook and started looking through it. Although there were many tasks in it, most of them were specific to certain areas, so he could only get fresh information after going there. There was no need to ask Gandu about it, who obviously didn't have much information about the small towns and cities. They were too far from him, and currently handling the capital's matters was his limit.

Next, Myne asked about two more tasks related to the capital city. One involved a medium-sized private auction house that was blown to smithereens for unknown reasons. The owner was unwilling to cooperate with the city guards and didn't give any explanation, instead, he was doing his best to keep it under wraps. Due to this explosion, many nobles family members and wealthy people had lost their lives, and the kingdom was taking it very seriously. Of course, hundreds of letters of complaint piling up on Garnet's desk were also an important reason.@@novelbin@@

Thankfully, Gandu happened to know about it and solved the case in one go. It turned out that the auction house owner had bought a strange, shiny red ore, about the size of a basketball, from somewhere. But the ore was a bit too weird, and after trying everything and not finding any use for it, even destroying it was nearly impossible.

So, when he realized it was a super-strong ore with no practical use, and couldn't even mold to crate weapons, the auction house owner decided to sell it. However, that "idiot" and his pig teammate carelessly placed it near some kind of alchemical mixer, which later accidentally fell on that ore and due to a chemical reaction, it exploded during the auction.

So now they just had to bombard the auction house owner's house, confirm all the information, and throw him into prison.

The second task was about a poison attack in a black market in the city. Some kind of powerful poison gas was released during a fight, killing more than 50 people, half of whom were of a certain status. Now, everyone was going crazy trying to find the culprit.

As for the reason why is there a black market in the capital city of a kingdom where a lot of soldiers patrolling day and night, and people were prohibited from selling dangerous and illegal goods privately? Well, there were always some people who cared more about money than life, and before the royal family knew it, the kingdom's biggest black market started operating right under their noses. Because a lot of nobles were secretly backing the black market, and it didn't have too much of a bad impact on the kingdom, the royal family, too lazy to deal with it, decided to ignore it, which led to this task.

A few days ago, someone set up a private stall in the black market and started selling all kinds of rare and unique items never before seen by anyone, at sky-high prices. People were doubtful about those items' credibility, thinking that the other party wanted to scam them, and all those products had ridiculous sky-high prices, which they thought were set to fool people into believing they were good and genuine stuff.

However, there are always some curious super-rich people in the world who don't mind becoming the first. One brave (foolish) second-generation rich brat, eager to impress his crush without any effort, bought a potion called "Love Potino" from him. The next day, the guy returned with more than 20 teenage boys of the same age, buying hundreds of love potions and explaining to onlookers about his experience.

Like how after taking the potion, his crush, who always gave him the cold shoulder, and behaved as if he owed her millions of golden coins had fallen madly in love with him. They were rolling on the bed and didn't spread until when the potion's effects began to fade. So he knocked her out as she came back to her senses, excited, he told his little gang of friends about this as well and rushed back to buy more.

After hearing such a grand advertisement and seeing the proof, more and more people started buying various items from him. Soon, everything in the mysterious person's stall was sold out. At first, people didn't think much of it, and both buyers and sellers were happy, so no one cared about the little incident.

However, over the next two days, the mysterious person continued to set up his stall, selling all sorts of products in large quantities, which finally attracted the attention of certain forces. After all, not only were his products genuine and novel, but their prices were so high that they made customers feel a pang of pain in their hearts each time they opened their wallets.

Anyway, soon someone came forward to cause trouble. At first, things weren't bad, and anyone who could survive in the black market was clearly not a nobody who could be easily bullied. So, the mysterious guy beat down the first three waves of troublemakers. However, since he didn't display any earth-shattering powers that could scare people to death, people became bold and, in the fourth wave, they went all out to seize his belongings and capture him, hoping to dig out his secrets.

But what no one expected was that the mysterious guy, instead of playing cards normally and running away to avoid trouble, simply overturned the table and released a highly toxic, AoE poison attack, killing everyone within 50 meters and poisoning over 200 people as the gas spread throughout the area.

Thankfully, the attack didn't last long, or an entire street might have become a forbidden zone with thousands of dead bodies. After causing havoc, the mysterious guy disappeared, leaving a big mess for the royal family and never to be seen again.

After various forces search for him like a mad dog but fail to find him, so their turn their head toward the royal family and start throwing complaint letters at Garnet's face, demanding to capture him or at least some satisfactory answers. But Garnet had more important matters to deal with rather than solving those bad people mess who run black market openings right under her nose, so she casually wrote down the task in a random corner of her notebook and threw all the complaint letters into the chimney to feel some warmth in this cold world, where everyone only cared about themselves.

In the second task, Myne also ran out of luck as Gandu had no idea about it. Various powerful individuals had placed a large bounty on the mysterious guy's head, and Gandu and his gang had spent a lot of time searching for him. But sadly, as if the guy had vanished from the world, nothing could be found, except that when he was doing business, he always disappeared near the sewers.

"Sigh, Your Highness, to tell the truth, catching that bastard is nearly impossible. To find him, our gang literally turned the entire city's sewers upside down, but we found nothing except shit... I think he ran away a long time ago," Gandu said, slumping his shoulders.

"Hmm if that's the case," Myne raised his eyebrow with from. He withdrew his finger from Emilia's pussy, making her tremble, remove the Mystic Limb Sculpting effect, making it normal from dick form, wiped it clean with her panties, picked up the quilt from Gandu's desk, and crossed off the task of tracking the mysterious man, writing "culprit has escaped. in front of it."

"Now that this matter is done, next you guys go and prepare for our hunt tonight, while we deal with that auction house owner. Miss Emila, you wouldn't mind being our guide, would you?" Myne asked with a smile.

"Of course, my lord, it would be my honour to be of service," Emila replied, her face flushed red, and breathing was heavy. She slowly got up from Myne's lap, her hands covering her intimate area to hide the evidence of their secret activity from the prying eyes of others, especially from those who were giving her murderous stares. She then backed away and hurried to the bathroom to change her clothes.

"All right, then thanks for your cooperation. If there's nothing else, we're going now," Myne spoke calmly as if nothing had happened, standing up and tossing another small money pouch at Gandu, which lit up his eyes. But when he turned his head, cold sweat broke out on Myne's forehead.

Except for Amy, Ted, and Waffle, who were serving as mere spectators, everyone else in his team was now brandishing their weapons and giving him dangerous smiles. Even June, who was crying while fighting with slimes, was now wielding two daggers god knows where she got, rubbing them together ominously.

"Myne, dear, could you step aside for a moment? We have something important to discuss with you," Sylphy interrupted Myne's train of thought who was thinking of an excuse to save his poor life, grabbing his arm and pulling him towards the door. Aisha quickly joined, locking his other arm, while June grabbed his shirt from behind.

"Your Highness, if you want to discuss something private, you can use the room on the left. It has a very high level of soundproofing and is often used for important guests," Gandu, the iron-hearted men, who play to be ignorant even when his girlfriend is messing with another man right in front of him, sees Myne about to run out of luck, immediately took the opportunity to take revenge, and while playing the role of a qualified henchman, he quickly pointed Myne toward his inevitable doom.

Myne, who still had hoped that the three "monsters" surrounding him would show some restraint, given that they were in public. He thought they might scold him at most. But Gandu's words were like the final strict that broke Camal back and shattered his all fantasies.

Initially, he had simply wanted to play the role of a wealthy playboy to test Gandu's character. However, Emila turned out to be too much of his type, and when his "little brother" took control, he hadn't even realized it. Aisha and the others had also remained silent the entire time, which made him completely forget about them as he gave in to temptation. After all, the body parts created with his Mystic Limb Sculpting were indistinguishable from the real thing, and he experienced everything as if it were genuine.

Like this Myne had dug his own grave. With Aisha and the others' heightened senses after levelling up, they couldn't have missed his little trick. Emila had been too sensitive, and her "love juice" had a scent strong enough that anyone within three meters could smell it if they focused.

Boom!

The office door slammed shut, leaving Amy and Gandu to exchange knowing glances and shake their heads slightly, though the smiles on the corners of their lips were hard to hide.
