Cheat Awakening
Chapter 732 - 732. Clan Opening ( Part-2 )

The grand gates of the newly completed clan headquarters stood wide open, revealing a majestic structure that left onlookers breathless. Towering five stories high, the clan building dominated the centre of the expansive, fortified grounds.

Its architecture was an elegant blend of regal authority and battle-ready fortitude—red-tiled rooftops crowned its layered heights, while tall arched windows glinted in the daylight.

At the very top, a domed tower bore the clan's insignia: a sword, a bow, and a staff interlocking each other, fluttering proudly on a crimson banner as if announcing to the world that a new era had begun. Below the banner, a metal board bore the clan's name: Elysium Seekers.

Encircling the building was a thick, high boundary wall of polished stone, broken only by the main entrance gates where the crowd had gathered. Inside, a spacious courtyard opened up into a symmetrical landscape of beauty and power.

Twin towers stood guard at the front corners like loyal sentinels, their sharp roofs pointing skyward, connected by wide stone walkways leading straight to the main entrance.

Flanking the path were meticulously maintained gardens bursting with vibrant flowers, trimmed hedges, and perfectly symmetrical topiaries sculpted into the shapes of mythical beasts. A cobblestone path curved gently around a centrepiece fountain—its crystalline waters danced under the sun, launching arcs of liquid silver into the air, drawing gasps from the younger spectators.

The air buzzed with excitement. Streamers of red and gold fluttered in the breeze, and laughter echoed off the stone walls as villagers, adventurers, nobles, and merchants of the town mingled in celebration.

Children ran through the open space, their faces painted in clan colours, while the scent of roasted meats and sweet pastries drifted from stalls lining the edge of the square.

Four guards in ceremonial armour stood at attention, lining the steps that led to the grand double doors of the clan building. Each step was polished to a shine as if no dust dared linger there.

Above the door, a massive stone crest bearing the clan symbol had been embedded into the wall, freshly carved and radiating with pride.

Myne, standing at the entrance, had his eyes slightly red from emotions, watching the clan building into which he had poured countless platinum coins. It finally stood tall, gaining the admiration of countless people. But his emotional moment lasted only a moment, interrupted by a bunch of brats who were making noise around.

Then he focused his gaze on the dozens or so guards in shiny armour, maintaining order, as well as the beautiful women in maid outfits serving all the guests who had come to witness the ceremony. He couldn't help but look at Garnet confusedly, wondering if it was necessary to be so serious.

"It is a necessary procedure. We can't let other people look down on us, can we? Don't forget, you represent the royal family as well; your face is worth a lot," Garnet gave him a satisfied smile while nodding at her deeds.

Just yesterday, while waiting for Myne, she had asked Lewis to send a team of royal guards and beautiful maids from the castle so the ceremony could proceed smoothly. Otherwise, if they hired people from the town, there was a high chance that people would make trouble.

"After settling here, I'm afraid we won't be able to go back to our small house," Sylphy joked with a giggle, gaining approving nods from everyone. Indeed, compared to such a giant, super-deluxe, luxurious building, their old wooden house was not worth mentioning at all.

"By the way, who made the clan insignia?" Myne looked at the crimson flag on top of the clan building and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Such an important thing was created without him knowing; this was too much. Those people didn't take him, the clan leader, seriously.

"We made it. Why? Do you have any problem with it?" Aisha narrowed her eyes and asked coldly, instantly making Myne wince. He gave her a thumbs-up with a forced smile.

"How can I have any problem? This is simply perfect..."

"Hahaha..."

Seeing Myne become a coward in front of his wives, Aniue and Lewis, without caring about their images, instantly starts laughing, making everyone frown, as this has attracted the attention of everyone around them.

However, the duo didn't care about the people around them; they moved forward, each grabbing Myne's shoulder and forcefully dragging him away from the girls, before lowering their heads with an evil smug on their faces.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Myne, how sad. You have become so useless that now your family doesn't even ask you for such an important matter as designing the clan insignia. If I were in your place, I would have already dug a hole in the ground to bury myself to avoid embarrassment."

Aniue, who was showing his bright teeth, made a pitiful face as if he genuinely worried about Myne's status as the head of the family.

"As a clan leader, if you can't even choose your clan insignia, are you still a leader? Since everyone isn't taking you seriously, what's the difference between you and a porter boy, whom everyone ignores most of the time?" Lewis, who also harboured resentment for Myne fooling him with his fake death for so long, didn't hold back while rubbing salt on his injuries. His smile of taking pleasure in other people's misfortune became even wider as he continued...

"You know, when I created my guild, I had absolute authority. Everyone followed my orders, and without my command, not even a leaf could change its position on my clan ground. But you... Tsk, tsk, tsk... Ouch! Sylphy, that hurts!"

"You two, do you think we're deaf or what? How dare you provoke Lord Husband against us right under our noses?" Sylphy grabbed both Aniue's and Lewis's ears and dragged them away from Myne while scolding them. Although she knew they were angry with Myne for playing a prank on them, how could they use that to make fun of Myne?

Humph, idiots. You're still too young to mess with me, but since you dared to make the first move, don't blame me for counter-attacking, Myne looked at Aniue and Lewis, who were getting scolded by Sylphy and Ayri, and shook his head.

He didn't take seriously the words of his two naive brothers-in-law. What they said was actually completely opposite; he was more than happy that someone was willing to take over the clan from him and take care of it.

Otherwise, if he were asked to sit in a room and check papers all day long, he might hang himself one day out of depression.

He is a person who can't sit in a single place for too long and needs to seek excitement and beautiful women everywhere to broaden his horizons. How can he have time to take care of a clan that can't bring him anything except headaches?

"By the way, Brother Myne, you are quite popular. There are so many nobles who have come to see your clan's opening ceremony."

Rector, Sylphy's stepbrother, came beside Myne and said while observing everyone, especially some beautiful noble girls. Because he had been corrupted by Myne at a very young age and had also inherited his father's not-so-glorious genes, he had already started walking the path of his idols.

At the age of 13, he already had a girlfriend and two "Secret lovers" who were willing to fulfil his desire to play with "big sisters" by accepting his money or favours. As a prince, the thing he least lacked was the beautiful women of older age around him, who were more than happy to serve a prince.

"Indeed, even I had no idea that I am so popular among those arrogant nobles, who always look down on commoners from the depths of their hearts," Myne rubbed his chin with a thoughtful look as he watched many people wearing gorgeous and luxurious clothes, accompanied by beautiful ladies and two knights as bodyguards, standing in groups, talking and laughing happily.

"It is normal unless those nobles are blind fools. Anyone can see how much resource you have poured into your clan. This amount of money is more than what our kingdom can gather even if all people united and donated their wealth."

"They have long ago realised that you are not relying on the royal family for money, as we don't have so much, and probably have some hidden source where you can get so much money. So, of course, those greedy vampires want to dig out your secret wealth. If not for the fact that the royal family is backing you, and you yourself are very powerful, believe me, you would have long ago fallen in their hands," Garnet spoke in a low voice, her eyes turning cold as she looked at noblewomen casting greedy gazes at Myne while talking in a low voice, and occasionally giggling playfully.

She could already guess what those sluts were planning, and this was what she feared the most, as everyone knew Myne was someone who couldn't control his lower body. If those b*tches got their hands on him, they had dozens or so ways to dig out a lot of information from his mouth.

After all, those sluts are best at playing with men; each one had f*cked dozens, if not hundreds, of men in their life. How could someone like Myne, whom even she and a group of little girls with hardly much experience, could manipulate at will after giving their body, withstand their charm?

"I see, I will be vigilant," Myne, feeling countless gazes on his body full of malice, like hungry beasts staring at their prey, couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

Although he had to admit that those noble ladies who took care of their bodies to an extreme level and could do anything to maintain their youthful looks and perfect figures were stunning as hell, and his eyes couldn't look away from them, he also knew what Garnet said was right, and he should stay away from them to avoid future trouble.

However, it wouldn't be a big deal to hypnotise some and make them my secret agents under those greedy nobles, so I can get information about all their evil plans, right? He thought with a smile while nodding at a beautiful woman in a red gown, who raised her wine glass at him.
