Cheat Awakening
Chapter 739 - 739. Harem Maintenance

"Phew, finally finished," Myne breathed a sigh of relief as he settled into the luxurious clan leader's chair in his personal office.

"Yes, it was more troublesome than expected," Garnet, who had just returned from dealing with nobles, nodded while lying on the couch like a dead fish, without caring about her previous queenly image. Because her dress was a bit too tight, she struggled to get up, clearly too lazy to do so. She untied her bra without removing her dress, pulled it out, and threw it at Myne's face.

"What!?" He was dumbfounded by such a "gift" and looked confused.

"Help me put it away. I forgot my storage pouch," She said, lying back down on the couch and closing her eyes.

"You..."

Click.

Myne, seeing her arrogant behaviour of treating him like a little boy, clenched the bra in his hand angrily, wanting to get up and show her who was boss here. But just then, the door opened, startling him. He hurriedly put the bra into his inventory. He didn't dare to let anyone know about his and Garnet's affair; otherwise, things would become too complicated for him to handle.

"Myne, some important nobles have settled in the guest lounge, while the rest decided to stay in town today and will leave tomorrow. By the way, what's your next plan? Tomorrow, we are officially going to start work," Sylphy entered the office along with the other girls and asked while taking a seat.

Because the office was very big, and in order to make it look like a clan leader's office, it was filled with all kinds of luxurious furniture. There were also quite a few sets of couches and chairs, with the main desk being in the upper middle part of the room.

"Why are you asking all of that to me? What do your clan matters have to do with me? Haven't I handed the clan to you girls right in front of everyone? I'm just a guest here to pass the time. What you do tomorrow has nothing to do with me, alright? Don't drag me into your mess."

"June, dear, can you help me choose two big rooms? Two of my friends will be coming here this evening. They will work and stay here from now on," Myne said with a smile after scolding Sylphy, making her pout. He then turned to June, and the other party seemed in a good mood and gave him a thumbs up, saying, "Got it."

"Oh, friends? Why don't you tell us something about them?" But Myne's words instantly piqued Aisha's vigilance, and she asked with a frown while narrowing her eyes, full of suspicion.

"Don't look at me like that. They are old friends. One is coming here along with her ill mother. I don't have any bad thoughts about her. And the second one once saved my life without caring about herself, and stayed in a coma for nearly a year. Now that I have resources, you don't expect me to abandon both, right? Also, they are going to stay right under your nose the entire time. What can a single person do against so many of you? Just treat them well; they deserve that, alright?"

Myne said with a serious expression, but seeing that everyone looked a bit unconvinced, he sighed helplessly and told them the entire story. Although the Velvet part was easy, since she had indeed helped him a lot and almost died, when it came to Gwen, whom he had picked up from Sylphy's castle and didn't have any exciting experience with, he was forced to rack his brain and make up a story like:

When he went to the capital city for his awakening, he was bullied by hooligans, who robbed him of all his money, even his clothes, and threw him into a very desolate area of the slums with only his underwear. At that time, if it weren't for Gwen's old and ill mother, who was passing by, and saw him, and helped him, he would have definitely suffered a lot.

Because Myne also knew that the more you spoke a lie, the more mistakes you made, he only said a few things and left the rest to the girl's imagination. And thus, he was finally able to convince the girls to let Velvet and Gwen stay with them and work in the clan.

"Although we don't mind you throwing your responsibility on our heads, Myne, tomorrow you have to go with us to clear a dungeon. It is our clan's first mission; we want you to be with us, do you understand?" Aisha said casually with a cold look on her face. Although she didn't find anything strange about Myne's story, her woman's instinct told her that Myne and those two new girls' relationship was more than just being friends.

"Sure, no problem, but now I'm leaving. It's time to clear some dungeons in the game world. You guys do your work," Myne said, quickly walking out of the office, under the not-so-friendly gaze of everyone. Only when he closed the door did he breathe a sigh of relief?

"F*ck, I thought they would eat me alive with the look they were giving," Myne muttered fearfully while shaking his head. His move of introducing Velvet and Gwen was nothing more than looking for a way to commit suicide, and he believed that if the latter duo made any mistake and let slip the truth about their relationship, then he would be done for sure.

I'd better make some preparations before entering the game, Thinking this, Myne quickly used the effect of his ring, the Band of the Fivefold Ka, which can create five clones of himself. These clones not only perfectly duplicate all his memories and can utilise three of his skills, but after they are destroyed or recovered, their entire memories, whatever they have done after coming into existence, will be sent back to Myne.

With a whooshing sound, a clone of Myne appeared before him. Since they shared memories, the clone nodded at him and, without saying anything, calmly walked toward their family living area on the fifth floor, intending to take a nap there while Myne did his work outside.

He had already told his girls he was going to play a game, so there was no way he could fool them in broad daylight and run outside. Otherwise, he believed they would definitely suspect he had gone to Velvet and Gwen to instruct them on what to say when they met.

Seeing the clone depart, Myne didn't waste time either. He quickly opened a portal to Velvet's room in the hotel and walked into it.

But what Myne didn't know was that only five minutes after he left, all his girls walked out of the office and hurriedly ran toward their new bedroom. It wasn't until they saw his clone lying on the bed with eyes closed that they dropped their cold expressions and returned, confused. As he expected, they indeed didn't believe him and thought he had left the office in a hurry because he wanted to warn his new girls about his future arrangements.

...

"Oh ho ho, look who has come to visit this poor girl. Her bastard husband vanished for days without saying anything! But this also makes sense since there's no one else behind him to worry about him, so it doesn't matter if he vanishes or not, right?"

Velvet, who wore an erotic, sexy net top bra and a panty, was lying lazily on the bed with her tail swinging left and right. She was reading a book when she saw Myne walking out of the portal. The next moment, she threw the book in her hand at his face with full strength, scolding him.

"Come on, Velvet, don't behave like a child. I was only away for a few days, and I told you about that. Also, you're forgetting that I also have to take care of your sisters. You can't expect me to always be glued to you, right?"

Myne explains, grabbing the book and placing it on the edge of the bed. He then climbed onto the bed and forcefully took Velvet in his arms. She struggled not to let him touch her, but in the end gave in with a cute pout on her face, while hitting his face with her tail.

"A few days, my ass! First, you simply vanished for an entire month, and when you returned, you stayed with me for three days before disappearing again without saying anything! Let me go, you damn bastard! I didn't want you to touch me with those filthy hands of yours! "

"If I weren't so innocent back then and hadn't fallen into your traps, I would have definitely found a better husband, who not only cares about me more but also gives me more time! Do you have any idea how lonely it feels always staying inside this damn room when you weren't here?"

"I feel like I'm going crazy! Thankfully, there's a girl of the same age next door, and I have a good bond with her, so we can always find something to do to kill time," Velvet, seeing that there was no way to get free from Myne's hug, lazily lay on his chest and started complaining.

At first, Myne was listening patiently, but when he heard that Velvet and Gwen seemed to have become good friends, he couldn't help but frown.

Should I remove their memories of each other? It should be much easier for them to accept that I have some relationship with both of them when they don't know each other, compared to when they are best friends. Sometimes women's jealousy can be very scary, Myne thought with a pained expression on his face, not knowing what to do. To tell the truth, if possible, he didn't want to use hypnosis on his own girls and play with their memories. Although they might not realise it, he felt that if he did that, he would cross the line.
