Cheat Awakening

The girl, Zhori, led Myne and Gwen to the second floor instead of the third, which was supposed to be the more luxurious area of the entire inn. Myne frowned slightly but remained silent. Since the staff had directed him here, it meant either all rooms on the third floor were full or the second floor offered a room that met his previous specifications.

Unlike the third floor, the second floor had quite a lot of rooms, and number 22 was the second-to-last room at the end of the corridor. The room was very big, with two large double XL-size beds, luxurious furniture, a large enough bathroom with all amenities, a big wardrobe, and a few magic lamps on the wall illuminating the entire room.

The only downside to the room was probably that there was only one small window, and that too opened at the back of the inn, where a lot of noise came in if opened during the day.

"My Lord, if you need anything, simply press this red button. Someone will attend to you immediately," Zhori said nervously, bowing. Seeing Myne wave his hand dismissively, she hurried left, seemingly fearing Myne might devour her alive if she lingered.

Myne didn't care about a random girl who wasn't particularly good-looking. After the girl left, he closed the door and walked toward the bed, gently placing Fiora on it.

"So, how is it? Do you both like this place?" Myne asked with a smile while watching Gwen jumping on the bed like a rabbit.

"Like it? Heck yes, I love it! Compared to our previous place, this is literally heaven!" Gwen exclaimed excitedly. However, she quickly noticed her mother's disapproving not-so-god-looking expression and calmed down, asking in a lowered voice, "But it must be very expensive, right? Is it alright to spend so much money on someone you just met a few hours ago? Even if we did...

have sex, you don't have to do this much for us."

"Myne, I agree with Gwen. This kind of high-end inn isn't cheap. Now I'm starting to feel uneasy. No matter how benevolent one is and willing to take responsibility, this is simply too much. If you and Gwen had known each other for a long time and fallen in love, I could understand. But a few hours are definitely not enough to justify this.

So please, tell us why are you doing all of this," Fiora, who had seen too many bad things, stared at Myne with a frown and asked seriously.

"Hahaha, you two are overthinking things. I harbour no ill intentions towards you. And even if I did, I wouldn't resort to such elaborate measures to achieve them. I can use force, and believe me, you two can never stop me. However, if you insist on needing a reason, then consider it an advance favour for my future wife.

That way, when I eventually dump all my clan work on her shoulders, she can't refuse, hehe. Am I quite the villain, right?" Myne asked proudly and took Gwen, who had just come beside him, into his arms and made her sit down on his lap.

Hearing this and judging Myne's sincerity, both mother and daughter finally breathed a sigh of relief. If this was really just an advance favour, then Fiora could accept it. As for selling her daughter's future happiness and burying her under a mountain of documents to enjoy the present, she didn't care. Anyway, this was a family matter, and Gwen should also work hard for her family.

Seeing that he had successfully convinced both mother and daughter, Myne nodded. He stole a deep kiss from Gwen under Fiora's jealous and envious gaze before placing her gently on the bed and rising.

"Alright, I must be going now. While I'd prefer to stay with you both, I have some very urgent business to attend to. Someone is probably become a volcano by now, thanks to Gwen entry." Myne took out a pouch of money from thin air, and place it in Gwen hand and continued. "Here's some cash.

Although the inn will provide everything you need while you're here, you might want this if you decide to go out and explore the market. I'll return as soon as possible after completing my work. Also, if anyone asks Fiora's identity, simply say she's my aunt and will be living here from now on. You, Gwen, can be her servant.

This will earn you more respect from the Inn staff and they won't dare to make trouble for you."

"Don't worry about payment; I'll handle it. Just relax and enjoy yourselves, especially you, Gwen. After our clan officially starts, you'll most like not going to experience this level of luxury any time soon so better enjoy this holiday to the fullest. A clan leader's personal assistant has numerous responsibilities. If you need anything, just press that red button next to the door.

Someone will attend to your every request. No need to hesitate; we are paying for everything, anyway."

"And last but not least, take care of yourselves. And... Gwen," Myne added with a teasing glint in his eye, "let me have one more kiss." He, in order to tease Fiora and of course to genuinely kiss Gwen under the effect of her bloodline and passive skill, embraced her tightly, he launched into a passionate kiss that only ended when Gwen was breathless.

He then patted her head, winked at a fuming Fiora, and sauntered out of the room with a satisfied expression.

"This damned pervert! How dare he tease someone of his mother's age? Does he have no shame? Just wait, Myne. When I recover, I'll show you what real teasing is like!" Fiora fumed, biting her finger. Glancing at her daughter, who lay dazed on the bed, panting heavily with a red face and now rubbing her legs together in a perverted manner, her anger only intensified.

Meanwhile, Myne had already located the assistant manager and approached her to settle the payment. Their interaction was brief due to Myne's low opinion of her. He scrutinized the expense record, ensuring everything was accurate and no overcharges were present. Satisfied, he found an additional 30% discount applied. With a nod, he handed her fifty platinum coins.

"This should suffice for now. I'll settle the remaining balance a few weeks after our room is ready. Any problems?" Myne inquired with a cold, emotionless expression.

"No, My Lord, that won't be a problem at all. Our staff has already begun work on your custom room, so there's no need to worry," The assistant manager gushed, a smile that had morphed into something unsettling and lustful flickering in her eyes. Myne could practically feel her predatory gaze.

It seemed a single nod from him and a beautiful, and a little too much experienced middle-aged woman might be on top of him in an instant ready to ride him to death.

"Good. Currently, my aunt is residing in the room I booked for her. She's unwell, so please don't bother her. I also don't want to hear any complaints about your services from her. Otherwise, you'll surely regret it." Myne ignored her lustful uncomfortable gaze and issued a subtle warning before bypassing the dumbfounded assistant manager behind and exiting the inn.

...

"Phew, finally settled. Now I have to find Sylphy quickly. Damn it, she's going to kill me!" Myne hurriedly turned invisible and dashed out of his palace room towards Ayri's chamber. If anyone could help him locate Sylphy quickly, then it is surely her.

"Okay, stop it, yes, just right there. This is perfect. At least one good thing happened because of that damn thief. You get a chance to change the furniture and added a lot of security mechanisms in your room."

Just as Myne came in front of Ayri's room and was about to sneak in as he didn't want to disturb the middle-aged maid who seemed to be sitting on a stool and taking a nap outside the door in broad daylight after eating lunch, he heard Sylphy's voice coming from the room.

"Hahaha! Not only that, but I also managed to squeeze a lot of pocket money out of Father by playing sad and pitiful! Even Elder Brother Aniue fell for it!" Ayri's voice brimmed with joy. Myne could even picture a little girl sitting on a pile of coins, proudly displaying her small fortune.

Hmm, sounds like they're having a lot of fun. If I'd known earlier, I could have spent more time with Gwen and familiarized her with the surroundings. But at least I won't get scolded now, Myne thought cheerfully. He gently opened the door, entered, and closed it behind him.

Stepping inside Ayri's room, Myne found it completely transformed. Most of the furniture, even the bed, had been replaced with more luxurious and modern pieces. Sylphy walked around the room, inspecting each piece of furniture and commenting on it.

Ayri, on the other hand, clearly unconcerned with the room's decor, with a wide grin plastered on her face, was meticulously counting a pile of coins, likely exceeding a few hundred, with a mix of platinum and gold.
