Cheat Awakening
Chapter 68 - 68. Lightning Edge

"Oyy Myne! What are you doing here?"

Just as Myne left the armor shop and was about to walk toward his house, someone call him from behind.

Myne turn back and saw Aiden, Ethan's elder brother, waving at him.

"Nothing, big bro Aiden, it's just my previous armor got destroyed because of some accident so I come here to buy a new one. But why are standing outside instead of doing work in the shop?

Don't tell me you are attracting customers, if so then I think you might as well hire a beautiful girl for this job, otherwise, people would only avoid your shop after seeing you at the entrance of the shop," Myne said jokingly.

"Brat, you are talking too much today, it is not good for your health, and I am much more handsome than you think," Aiden said a smile that doesn't look like a smile while showing Myne his big fist.

"I am just returned from work and saw you coming out from Ethan's shop, so I thought of saying you help, but it seem like I was wrong, you didn't need any goodwill, you just need some nice beating," Aiden said.

"Yes, Boss, I also think so, why don't you show Myne that legendary move of yours, which you use once to punish me when I ruin your date with a beautiful girl?" Suddenly Kofi appeared out of nowhere behind Aiden and start giving him unnecessary advice.

Hearing a voice from behind, Aiden turn around and saw Kofi standing behind him, with a big chicken leg in one hand, and a bowl filled with noodles in the other, while staring at them with great interest as if waiting for a nice show.

"Kofi! What are doing here? Didn't I give you the task of checking all the materials in the warehouse, and making a report about them? And is that chicken leg the one I place in my drawer before going out?" Aiden asked after seeing the familiar cooked chicken leg with butter all over on it in Kofi's hand.

"Ahm, If I say that I bought this chicken from the market do you believe me?" Kofi spoke Innocently while slowly taking his step back.

...

There was suddenly silence on the sense and Myne expected that Aiden would go mad and beat the hell out of Kofi for eating his lunch, as he know just how much Aiden cared about his own food.

It doesn't matter if you eat food in front of him, but if you dare to eat his own food in front of him, which most of the time he prepared himself, ( There are too many benefits if you can't find yourself a girl, like you can learn how to make food, in your free time. ) surprisedly didn't jump on Kofi to beat him, but just wave his hand and dismiss him.

And Kofi also in view of the fragility of time, give Myne some gestures with his one hand while placing his bowl down on a chair, asking him, if he wanted to go out with him for some fun, which Myne refused with hesitation. He would be the world's biggest idiot if he left his sweet wife home alone, and spent time with a loser like Kofi, who most of the day only knows how to eat other people's food.

"Anyway, let's forget about Kofi, I will deal with him later, but now let's come to the main topic, Myne do you still go to the forest for hunting? I heard that recently forest is not safe anymore," Aiden suddenly asked a serious question while walking into his shop and gestured to Myne to follow him.

"Yes I know about it very well, but currently I have no other job to do, so I can only go there," Myne said with a smile, anyway he is saying the truth, till Sylphid returns with good news, he really has no new plan other than going into the first for hunting.

"Well if that is the case then let me show you something, maybe it can help in your journey," Aiden said after thinking for a while, then he walked into his personal room at the back side of the shop.

Myne waited around 10 minutes when he again saw Aiden with an arm-length size box in his hand.

"Here take this, this is a special item that I got some years ago, maybe you like it," Aiden said and handed the box to Myne with a smile.

Myne quickly open the box and a big dagger around the same length as his arm, with yellow coating and many golden patterns all around its blade, and looked very mysterious at the very first glance.

Strong Against Humanoid Monsters ]

Huh? A Magical item? And that too attack type? How the hell, did Aiden get his hands on such a rare item? And if he wanted to buy this kind of weapon like Amma then even if he sell his all property even then he still can't gather enough money to buy it, Myne thought with a dumbfounded expression.

Today he really can't believe just how lucky his day is going, just in a day he not only saw two magic items, but people are also very willing to give them to him, of course, if they don't ask for money then it would be more perfect.

"This dagger is a drop from a dungeon guardian, and it's said to have a magical attribute," Aiden said while looking at Myne who is carefully stroking the dagger as if it was his child.

"Said to have? What do you mean?" Myne asked confusedly.

"When the guy who got this dagger in a dungeon used it, it was clad in lightning.... However, since that guy died, the dagger has never been clad in lightning no matter who used it.

Because of that, there's now no one who believes in its worth as a magic dagger, and everyone thought that this is just a normal dagger, with fake weird patterns on it to raise its value," Aiden said with a helpless smile.

Huh? Is Aiden joking with me? How can he not recognise a real magic weapon, and even if no believes in him, can't he just go to the magic item shop, and let those guys check it? Those guys deal with magic items all year round, so they should clearly have something to check if it is fake or real, Myne thought with a frown on his face.

"Sigh, don't look at me like I am an idiot, I know what are you thinking, but just as I said this dagger is dropped from a dungeon guardian, so it is fundamentally different from the typical magical items we show in normal shops.

I also bring it to them for verification, and those guys said that it is fake without hesitation," Aiden said while shaking his head, clearing Myne's doubt about his intelligence.

"The truth is, the person who brought this back with him from the dungeon was a friend of mine. That's why I've seen him using lightning attacks from it before. That's why I can say with full confidence that this is a magic dagger, but I think that there's some condition that needs to be met before it can show its real power.

But before that, it's just a dagger with a slightly good performance and a sharp blade."

"How about it? are you interested in it?" Aiden asked after telling the dagger's background story.

Well although Aiden didn't tell me how to use it, but with my smart mind, it shouldn't be too difficult to learn how to use this dagger, right? Myne thought and decide to buy it, anyway at the end of the day it is still a real magic weapon, who knows when it comes in handy?

And he also has a hence that he has seen this dagger somewhere before, but not remember if it is just his illusion or something else.

"Okay, I am interested, what is its price? "

"Let me see, considering the fact that it's a real magic dagger, at the start I want to sell it for 5 platinum coins, but… after too much time has passed, and it is still unclear whether you might be able to use it or not. How about 150 gold coins?" Aiden said after making a rough guess.

F*ck, so cheap, why didn't he say this before, Myne thought and hurriedly spoke in fear that Aiden might change his mind.

"Deal, then from now on this dagger belongs to me, here is your money," Myne said and quickly give Aiden a single coin, which made him frown.

"I have already given you such a huge discount but you still wanted to buy this dagger in instalments, don't you feel shame," Aiden said helplessly while taking the coin from Myne but after seeing that the coin wasn't gold but platinum he was shocked.

"Why did you give me a platinum coin? Don't I say that it is not clear if you can use this dagger or not," Aiden said while looking at Myne with a complicated expression.

"It doesn't matter, I believe in you, since you said that this is a magic weapon, then it is, and I am really not so selfish that I take advantage of you who have taken care of me so much," Myne said making Aiden very emotional.

"Hehe, you are really such a nice boy, come here and give your big brother a hug," Aiden said trying to give Myne a hug, but he swiftly avoided his hug, and have no intention to hug his smelly body.

"By the way, you don't mind if I take this dagger as well right?" Myne asked while taking a pitch-black crude looking dagger from the shelf.

"Ohh that dagger, sure you can take it free if you want, this is just a useless dagger sold to me by a drunker who needs money to buy a drink," Aiden said causally.

"Thank you," After saying that Myne said goodbye to Aiden and headed toward his home.

....

Aiden looked at Myne back until he can no longer be visible, before releasing a heavy breath.

"hey, Dyne, it seems like your son has finally become an adult, now he doesn't even fear Orcs and can fight with them very bravely, can you believe it? I still remember when I first time encounter an Orc, I nearly lose my life if you haven't saved me at the right moment back then.

And after that day I can never gather enough courage to fight with any Orc again, but here your son like you playing with them as if they are dogs."

"Haha, Maybe I shouldn't give up that time, Sigh, those old painful memories. By the way, The dagger you sold me that day so you can gather some savings for your son...

Haha, today I handed your dagger back to your son back, sorry although I charge some fee for safekeeping it till now, as you know my business wasn't going well," Till saying that tears start falling from Aiden's eyes, but the smile on his face never faded as continue talking while looking at the floating cloud in the sky.

"It seems like I becoming quite emotional now, my old friend.

I hope you be happy wherever you are, and don't worry I will always give my utmost support to your son if he even needs it, but looking at his super-fast growth, I don't think he needs the help of an old man like me..." Aiden said and after looking at the sky for some more minutes, he calm down his emotions, and after wiping tears from his eyes, he return to his shop, to deal with a certain fellow who dare to eat his food without permission...
