Cheat Awakening
Chapter 733 - 733. Clan Opening ( Part-3 )

"Your Highness, Lord Myne, hello," As Garnet was telling Myne about the evil deeds of the noblewomen who had their greedy eyes on his poor body, three knights suddenly walked toward them and greeted them.

The leading knight, who wore new, shiny armour, was none other than Captain Gale from the First Royal Knight Division. He had been transferred by Faren to Myne's side to protect Amy and, of course, look after his clan.

However, after spending such a long time with Myne and beginning to learn to fight, it was hard to tell who would protect whom. At least the current Amy, with her massive amount of mana provided by her elven bloodline and unique magic skills, was more than enough to beat dozens of Gales without blinking.

Behind Gale was a large, older male knight, in his mid-fifties, wearing rugged armour that seemed to have been poorly maintained for a long time. He had a long scar on his face and a receding hairline. The other was a brown-skinned, long-haired, cold-faced female knight who was probably the same age as Sylphy.

"They're probably the two people you mentioned who were tasked to protect Amy and look after the clan's security, right?" Myne looked at the two knights behind Gale, who stood like statues without any emotions on their faces, saying nothing.

Eh? Now that I think about it, aren't we missing another two civil officials? Where are they? Myne thought confusedly. The clan was about to start, but there was no information about their staff's whereabouts.

"Yes, so let me introduce them."

With one gesture from Gale, the two knights from behind stepped forward with their chests held high.

Sigh, too small. The saying, 'you have to pay for everything,' isn't just nonsense, Myne looked at the female knight's breasts habitually but could only shake his head, seeing that they were flatter than the old knight beside her.

"My name is Gantz! Your Highness, and Lord Myne, it's a pleasure to meet you! Gahahahahaha!"

The older knight's sudden, villainous laugh caught Myne and Garnet off guard. They didn't understand what was so funny about his general introduction.

"Please don't take it seriously; it's part of Gantz's personality. If he doesn't finish his sentence with a laugh, he feels uncomfortable, and it's a miracle that he's been able to stay silent and serious until now," Gale shook his head helplessly as Gantz smacked his back repeatedly with full energy, saying, "Only Captain can understand me," and laughing even louder.

"Hello, Your Highness, Lord Myne, my name is Melissa. Please take care of me from now on," The female knight was more normal than the weirdo Gantz. While introducing herself, she didn't forget to give a knight's salute.

These two people were working under Gale in his First Royal Knight Division before he was transferred to Lucus Town to join Myne. Gantz, like Gale, had a family, and his wife had just given birth to his fourth son. He was no longer interested in fighting and killing and just wanted to spend his remaining days with his family. So, when he learned that Gale was recruiting knights to serve as bodyguards, he immediately joined him.

As for Melissa, she had an ulterior motive in joining Gale. After entering the First Royal Knight Division and working there for two years, she had already understood that there was no further promotion channel for her. No matter what she did, at the end of the day, she could at most become a captain, whose salary wasn't much different from that of other soldiers, unless she was willing to exploit others and start playing tricks right under the royal family's nose to gather wealth.

But this was something she knew she didn't have the talent to do, so she simply changed parties after learning of Myne's deeds, like marrying a princess and fighting with a dragon. Anyway, even if she couldn't make a fortune by staying by his side, ensuring that her life wouldn't be in danger was more than enough for her. If she stayed alive, there were countless ways to gain wealth.

While listening to Gale recount Gantz and Melissa's amazing records, Myne first looked at Gantz, who, although carrying a sword around his waist, used a battleaxe as his main weapon, which he was hiding in his storage pouch, and used appraisal on him.

This guy made his wife pregnant at this age? Also, he looks much younger than his actual age, Myne was more surprised by Gantz's appraisal result that he could impregnate his old wife at age 50 or 60, than by learning about his past deeds of fighting war alongside his cheap father-in-law.

As for his skills, expect that he has handicraft skills, and at a very high level, Myne didn't take others seriously; they might be useful in dealing with humans in their world, but when it came to real big guys like demons, monsters, or other otherworldly threats, they were useless. Gantz might not even have time to scream before losing his head, let alone fight against any of them.

So, as people get older, they finally start learning that honour and loyalty are nothing but empty talk, and only money is the eternal truth. At least this guy made good use of his skills, but I wonder why he's still wearing this tattered armour and hasn't bought a new one. The armour shouldn't be too expensive, right?

While all kinds of messy thoughts popped up in his mind, Myne turned his head to Melissa, who was serious as hell, as if she wouldn't hesitate for a second to cut her throat if asked to commit suicide.

Hmm, her skill set is quite compatible. She has a bright future. It's truly hard to understand that despite being so powerful, she had to face sexual harassment. If I were in her shoes, I would have long ago made that guy vanish from the face of the earth... As expected of someone who admired Sylphy, their thought processes weren't much different. She still has a lot to learn.

Myne could only shake his head after hearing the real reason behind her quitting the post of royal knight, aside from money, it was nothing but a cliché drama of the womanizer captain of the second division harassing her and wanting her to be a one-night stand.

"It's nice to meet you all as well! I'm still rather inexperienced in handling various management things, so I depend on you guys to take care of the clan's security work in the future," Myne spoke with a smile, shaking hands with them.

"By the way, since it's our first meeting, here's a small gift from me. Please don't refuse, otherwise, I'll feel bad, and you don't want to see me sad at such a happy event, right?" Myne chuckled, forcefully placing ten platinum coins into each of their palms one by one, enjoying their blank expressions. Their palms were trembling as if they had been given a time bomb instead of money.

"Lord Myne, isn't it a bit too much for a meeting gift? And wasn't I visiting your house once a week?"

Gale felt uncomfortable getting a fortune without doing anything. His monthly salary was still paid by the royal family, and it was the same as his previous post as the captain of the first royal guard division, with more than 50 gold coins, the highest among all soldiers. But Myne took out 20 months of his salary as if it were nothing and gave it to him and his company as a greeting gift. This kind of sudden windfall was hard for him to accept.

Melissa, beside him, also nodded seriously, ready to return the money. Although she indeed wanted to be rich, this was based on her own effort, not because someone just gave her a huge amount of money for nothing. She didn't like owning favours.

Only Gantz was open-minded enough to put the money away without the slightest hesitation. He was the oldest among the three and had a vision far beyond them. He knew very well that Myne would not take the money back, since by then he would lose his face. And just by looking at how grand his clan building was, even an idiot could say he didn't lack money.

However, he did lack a lot, just recently; he was thinking about buying a beautiful slave to take care of their house chores and his daily needs since his wife was bedridden because of childbirth and couldn't make much movement.

As Gantz had expected, Myne's face instantly became cold seeing that Gale and Melissa didn't want to accept his gift. He suddenly released a bit of his aura, which had become extremely evil and dark after he merged with the Nightwalker bloodline.

Let's not talk about the knight trio; suddenly, everyone in the clan compound felt a chill run down their spine as Myne released his aura. They all cast their frightened gaze at him, but were surprised to find that there was nothing wrong with him, and he was smiling happily while talking with Gale and others, making everyone wonder if they were hallucinating.

"See, it's not that difficult to accept a gift from your boss without making trouble. In the future, be more open-minded, like Gantz. Unlike you two, he understands me very well; this is the quality of a good subordinate. You should learn from him," Myne advised, patting Gale's shoulder, who was sweating profoundly and had an expression as if he was forced to eat shit with a smiling face.

Melissa wasn't in much better condition than him; her body was trembling, and the hand in which she was holding the coins was tightly clenching, as if fearing that someone might snatch her money.
