Cheat Awakening

"Pio-pio! Pio-pio!"

"Huh? What's that sound? It sounds like some kind of bug making a racket," A random man spoke curiously, glancing around to find the source of the strange "Pio-pio!" noises.

"If I'm not mistaken, the sound seems to be coming from that fatty. Hey, what's wrong with him? Why'd he suddenly start trembling like he's seen a ghost?"

While everyone was curious about the strange sounds spreading through the entire bar, someone's gaze fell on the fatty and immediately informed the others. Everyone turned their heads and saw the previously domineering and spirited fatty, as if the whole world owed him money, now trembling in fear with sweat dripping down his forehead.

"Master! I think you better pick up the call. The longer you wait for your mother, the more dire the consequences will be," The big-breasted girl named Seraphina, who god knows when appeared beside the fatty, gently whispered in his ear before silently retreating.

"Y-yes, you're right," The fatty replied nervously, wiping the cold sweat from his chubby face. He hurriedly pulled out a handheld device resembling an intricately carved crystal. The fatty then hurriedly infused mana into it, and suddenly the noise coming from it stopped, and instead, a blue holographic projection of a beautiful woman.

She wore a long dress that barely concealed her curvaceous figure, but her cold demeanour gave off an aura that warned her not to mess with her. The projection was only a few inches tall, hovering in the palm of the fatty's trembling hand.

"ZEPH!!! Do you have any idea what you've done?" The beautiful woman in the holographic projection spoke, her anger escalating with each word. "It's barely been a few minutes since you left the castle, but look at the mess you've created there! Because of your constant begging, I gave you a simple, menial task that even an idiot could complete perfectly!

But you, son of a pig, couldn't even do that right! Now, thanks to you, the King of the Augesat Kingdom is giving your father a headache. He even threatened that if we don't remove our business from his kingdom by tomorrow morning, he'll slaughter every one of our people!"

"Do you know what cooperation means? When we establish our business, we clearly sign contracts that ensure our activities won't cause any direct problems within the kingdom and every year we will pay a certain amount of tribute, in return, the kingdom turns a blind eye to us.

That's why our managers never take action, no matter how much trouble someone causes in the bar, because we are forginor, and have no rights in their lands. So those managers will inform us instead to solve the problems. As far as I remember, everything is taught to you from childhood, right? Also, tell me, what did I say to you right before you left?"

The more the beautiful woman in the holographic projection spoke, the angrier she became, and the fatty's face lost its lustre. Everyone in the bar could clearly see the hair of the beautiful woman was floating, a sign of her extreme rage. They understood that the fatty was definitely done for.

But their biggest surprise was learning that the kingdom's higher-ups were actually aware of the illegal information activities happening within their borders, which means all their actions were also completely under their control. They simply turned a blind eye as long as the organization followed the kingdom's terms and conditions.

After all, no one dislikes money, especially when it comes to doing anything.

"WHY AREN'T YOU SPEAKING?!"

Suddenly, as if the beautiful woman's anger had reached its peak, and finally exploded because of the fatty silence, she yelled out so loudly that the entire bar shook for a moment. Everyone covered their ears due to the sheer volume of her voice.

The fatty, on the verge of wetting himself, subconsciously threw the communication device away as if it were a bomb. Thankfully, the mysterious demon caught it before it hit the ground and shattered like glass.

"Haaa, haaa, you... you fatty actually dare to throw the Mana Whisperer? Do you have any idea how much it costs to produce? There are hardly ten people in our entire organization who have one, yet you, a useless piece of garbage, actually dare to toss it away? Good, very good. Let's see who saves you this time.

Just come back. This time, even your idiot father can't save your fat ass!" After venting her anger on the fatty and realizing it was pointless to waste her breath on such a useless individual, the beautiful lady took a deep breath, composed herself, and looked towards the mysterious demon.

"Sigh, Daiko, please hand this communication device to the manager," Hearing his mistress's kind request, who seemed to become a completely different person than her previous aggressive and fierce demeanour, the mysterious demon, Daiko, of course, did not dare to hesitate and followed the footsteps of the poor fatty.

He hurriedly came in front of Myne and, under the dumbfounded gaze of everyone, especially the fatty, he bypassed his hand and stopped it in front of the empty stool beside him.

While everyone wondered if Daiko had lost his mind, a magical thing happened. Alex suddenly appeared on the sheet out of nowhere.

"Matriarch, I am Alex, the manager of the Aguesta Kingdom's Lucus Town branch. It is my honour to meet a legendary figure like you. Please tell me how I can help you, by the way, I am a big fan of yours," Alex, who previously didn't give the fatty an ounce of respect and even dared to insult him.

However, while talking with the beautiful woman, there wasn't a single trace of arrogance or anger in his voice. Instead, he spoke with admiration, like a die-hard fan talking to his idol. You could even see stars in his eyes.

"Please, Mr. Alex, you don't have to be so humble and reserved while talking to me. I'm not that great, and compared to you who are doing the real work, what I do is nothing. Anyone can use their mouth and give orders, but actually implementing those orders while surrounding by enemies is the most difficult thing. Also, it is my honour that you admire me."

"By the way, before we talk about the main matter, could you first tell me why you called for an emergency single?" The beautiful woman spoke with extraordinary humility. Her words had the power to win anyone's heart. There wasn't a single lie or hint of fakeness in her words, but genuine admiration, as if she deeply recognized Alex's hard work.

For a normal worker like Alex who gives his most of life to a single organisation, what could be more honourable than getting genuine recognition from the supreme boss and creator of their organization and his lifelong idol?

As anyone could expect, Alex, a nearly 50-year-old man, actually burst into tears upon hearing the praise. It shook everyone to the core. Myne even moved aside, fearing an unexpected hug from this emotional uncle. But even he had to admit that this beautiful woman had the charm to win anyone's heart, of course, except for the fatty. For him, she was definitely no different than a devil.

The beautiful woman didn't show any impatience and let Alex calm down. Only when she confirmed that this old uncle was emotionally stable did she ask the question again? This time, without any further nonsense, Alex instantly pointed at Myne.

"This is the man who wanted to cause trouble in the bar. He came in and suddenly released his aura, clearly looking for a fight. According to the rules, I first asked him if he really wanted to mess around. After getting his confirmation, I sent the emergency signal. However, I never expected the helper I was waiting for to cause more trouble than the instigator himself.

This fatty even dared to raise his hand against me!"

"If I hadn't used my defensive magic item at the last moment, I probably wouldn't be here talking to you now," While speaking, Alex couldn't help but glare angrily at the fatty. As for Daiko who wanted to send him to west, Alex completely ignored him. After all, the other party was clearly a dangerous figure, and there's no point in seeking your own death.

Besides, the fatty is about to be punished anyway, so a few more slaps won't make a difference.

Hearing Alex's explanation, without the beautiful woman's instruction, Daiko turned around and brought her in front of Myne. Myne, who had been silently devouring Aisha's special sandwich, had almost become a transparent figure like most of the audience. However, he didn't expect to suddenly become the target of everyone's attention and was completely caught off guard. Experience tales at empire

"Cough! Sorry, can you guys just give me a minute?

Let me finish it first, I can't waste it; otherwise, my wife will beat me to death," Saying such, Myne sped up his eating, and under the dumbfounded gaze of everyone, especially the fatty, within 20 seconds, he devoured the entire sandwich, taking full use of his Eater skill, which is also the reason why his mouth could shut up, and he always had a desire to eat something.
