Cheat Awakening

"Did you hear yesterday's announcement?" Guy A slurred, his face flushed a fiery red from excessive ale, It seemed he had already crossed his drinking limit. "I never thought Deacon Wilson would settle down at such a young age. After all, he's a notorious playboy. Countless hearts must be broken by this news, especially of those damn slave traders, hehehe..."

"But there's no way someone like Deacon, who always wanted to climb further in the church, would miss such a god-given opportunity," Guy D interjected causally. "Sure, he has to say goodbye to the forest for a single tree after this, but at least his rank and influence in the church will skyrocket. No matter how you look at it, it's a guaranteed win deal for him."

"By the way, from what I heard, his bride isn't just some random big shot's daughter," Guy B continued, ignoring Guy D's interruption. "She's a fairy—not only wise and beautiful as an angel but as powerful as a bishop. If our church weren't so misogynistic, she could've easily gotten the position of bishop a long ago with all her contributions.

Otherwise, how could Deacon Wilson, the richest man and lover of half-city girls, settle for just one woman for the rest of his life and sign such a humiliating contract? You know even if I have three wives at home, how can a big-hearted man like Deacon stop supporting those poor women? This is all that b*tch's conspiracy..."

"Shhh, motherf*cker, what are you doing?! Lower your damn voice! Don't talk nonsense like you're in your own home. Many of her followers are wandering the city. If they hear you spreading rumours about her, death is the only thing you can hope for, but it won't come," Guy D hissed and quickly covered his pig teammate's mouth, who was carried away by the excitement of alcohol and talking loudly.

A few people stared at him with great interest, as if they'd found a rare animal. But seeing Guy D quickly handle the situation, they reluctantly stopped looking at them.

After all, this kind of thing is the most common thing in the tavern, most people here just want this kind of interesting gossip, otherwise, do you really think those guys who live in the city with their families like to come to the tavern every day and waste their hard earn money for cheap tasteless drink and those sluts in a short dress who are literally public property whom everyone can f*ck as long as they have money?

But the damage was already done. As Guy D tried to instil some sense into his pig-like companions' empty heads, a thin, graceful figure cloaked in a robe approached their table. The figure's form was obscured, but a certain, well-developed area hinted at her gender. As for how had those four idiots been so unlucky that they had just spoken causally when someone like her happened to overhear them?

Well, that was because a certain figure, eager to establish her influence in the church and gain an official position, so much that she didn't hesitate to sell her own body to fatty for it, knew that the moment news of her actions spread throughout the city, countless people would do everything to tarnish her reputation.

One of them was the man who was about to take her to his bed in a few days and explore every part of it thoughtfully. Rumours, no matter how trivial, could influence public opinion, especially in critical situations, like when someone was trying to change the church's thousand-year-old rules.

So, she had her people spread throughout the city, especially in the most popular public gatherings places, ready to teach a harsh lesson to anyone who dared speak ill of her.

Guy D, knowing his team had run out of luck—especially since, in the past few days, many people had been carried out of various places like bars, taverns, and hotels on the shoulders of others in the half-dead state, gulped nervously. After a moment of silence, he forced a fake smile and spoke in a trembling voice...

"How may I help you, miss?"

"I want to know who told him to talk nonsense about my master. If he's willing to tell me honestly, we can part ways without any bloodshed," The figure in the robe spoke in an extremely sweet voice, which instantly lit up the eyes of most of the men in the tavern. They quickly began observing her, trying to imagine the beautiful figure under the robe.

"I..."

Bang!

"B*tch, get the hell out of here before I lost my mind! This isn't your slut master's whorehouse where you can spread your legs and spread your filth everywhere. Now if you don't won't get beaten and fed to dogs, strip down, get on your knees, and apologize to me three times while kowtowing. Then run back to your slut master and tell her this isn't her little town where she can do whatever she wants.

Otherwise, I won't mind paying her a visit and teaching her a real lesson!"

Guy B, whom God knows where from getting so much courage, tossed his mug aside, spat at the woman's bountiful chest and spoke with an arrogant sneer.

Anyone could see from his shabby clothes and the cheap wine he and his friend had been drinking that he was just a random poor fool, but hearing his words people could easily misunderstand him as some kind of big shot who playing pig-eat tiger and hiding his true powers.

Rustle!

With a mind-blowing tactic understanding, all the people around the four men and the girl in the robe lifted their tables and chairs, moving away to random corners. They left a large open area in the middle for them to have a heart-to-heart conversation without any disturbance. Even Clone Myne, who was enjoying this scene, followed their example and moved back to avoid being involved accidentally.

"My Lord~ Your order~~"

Just as the atmosphere grew tense, and some people seemed ready to explode, the beautiful waitress—long accustomed to such situations—approached Myne's table with her two colleagues and placed his order. Afterwards, she and her coworkers stood behind him to watch the show, each holding a mug of fruit juice to enjoy the drama, for them this daily thing, and they had long gotten used to it.

"A beautiful lady like you shouldn't drink while standing. Come sit here and keep me company," Myne seeing the beautiful waitress have some ulterior motive toward him, and trying to attract his attention by playing cute and naive, rolled his eyes, grabbed her mug, and spoke with a serious expression while placing it on the table.

Then, without giving her a chance to protest, he grabbed her by the waist and made her sit on his lap, and when she was about to say something, he picked a piece of jelly-like dessert and stuffed it into her mouth.

"You are so kind, My Lord~ Thank you," The waitress seeing her plan success quickly replied with a smile. She didn't resist Myne's advances at all, and when he wasn't paying attention, even gave her friend a victory gesture. Then while leaning against his broad, wealthy chest, she picked up her juice and continued watching the show, while Myne casually began eating his food.

Bang!

Just as Myne was considering asking the beauty in his arms some questions to have a better understanding of this world, the robed lady—who had been silent until now—reached out, grabbed Guy A by the neck and smashed his face into the table. She used so much force that the table instantly broke apart, and his face directly kissed the wooden floor.

Except for Guy B, who remained eerily calm as if nothing was out of his control and even leisurely sipped wine from his mug, at least, In terms of looking cool, he had done a great job, If he didn't get beaten today, he might even become a minor celebrity in this tavern for next a few days, however, Guys C and D didn't hesitate for a second.

The moment Guy A's handsome face hit the floor, they bolted towards the exit at lightning speed.

Unfortunately for them, it seemed this wasn't the girl's first time handling such situations. As soon as they moved, she leapt at Guy C, knocking him out cold with a kick to the face. Before Guy D could open the door, he suddenly felt the world lose colour, and his legs grew weak.

He touched his poor little brother with trembling hands, let out a small, mosquito-like cry, rolled his eyes, and collapsed to the ground like a dead dog. The girl casually pulled her leg back from between his legs.

Seeing Guy D's fate, a low gasp ran through the entire tavern. Even Guy B's expression twisted for a second. After all, unless you're not a real man, watching someone ruthlessly attack a man's "little brother" sends chills down everyone's spine.

"Now, will you talk, or do I have to use some more... tough means?" The robed woman stood in front of Guy B, drawing a short lady's sword from beneath her cloak. Clearly, she wasn't planning on giving him the real troublemaker as nice treatment as his friends.
