Cheat Awakening

Chapter 419. Under the Tree

"huh? where'd rosy go? shouldn't she be waiting for me here? damn it, because of my fear of getting caught by sylphy, i also didn't ask her address. now finding her is going to be a pain in the ass as i couldn't let her fatty husband know that i am looking for her wife, and most importantly, i only have two hours to finish everything...

sigh, let's wait a bit here if she doesn't come in 15 minutes, i will try to find her." read exclusive content at empire

with that thought in mind, myne sat down under the tree where he found rosewell yesterday and patiently began waiting for her, but deep down, he didn't have much hope.

"ugh, today really isn't a good day. not only did we fail to reach ember falls city even after raiding the house at full speed for 8 hours and going to great lengths using magic on a horse so it wouldn't die from exhaustion, but now it seems rosy's matter also has to be put on hold..."

sssss...nôv(el)b\\jnn

thud!

ouch!

when myne was thinking about his life's minor problems after finally getting some time for himself to reflect, suddenly a strange movement occurred at the top of the tree he was resting under. a rough ball, seemingly made of cloth but somehow strong as a rock, plummeted down and landed on myne's head, eliciting a yelp of pain.

"f*ck! which bastard dared to sneak attack me in such a vicious way?" myne yelled out in anger, clutching his head in pain. he quickly looked up, but when he saw a little boy around 7 years old lying right on top of him on a large branch, with a horrified expression, as if he might pee his pants if he scared him any more, he didn't know what to say.

myne looked at the "weapon" used in the attack and then at the frightened boy. he could only shake his head regretfully. if it were a man, at least he could gain some new skills. but a little brat? forget it. apart from ear-piercing screams and unnecessary workload, there's nothing he could get from him.

"kiddo, i'll count to ten. if you're not down by then, prepare to lie there for the rest of your life. and believe me, even the king himself come here for you, he might be able to extricate you from this branch..."

bang!

myne had barely finished speaking when the boy, who was scared to death, directly fell to the ground without giving him a chance to count. clearly, this little guy's level of obedience had maxed out a long time ago.

"my lord, please don't kill me! i'm willing to do anything for forgiveness! it was a pure accident that i dropped my ball on you," the boy, god knows where he learned to apologize so well, pleaded. as soon as his butt landed on the ground, without caring about his own injuries, he hurriedly crawled to myne on all fours before bowing down completely.

"here, this is what she wanted me to deliver to you," maybe the little boy was just too enthusiastic for his own good, or he was doing it subconsciously out of nervousness. he again didn't hesitate to cut off myne's sentence halfway through and took out a small, roughly folded letter from his little pocket. its condition wasn't exactly pristine under the care of this little rascal.

myne, now with a vein popping up on his forehead from being continuously interrupted, took a deep breath to calm himself down. he resisted the urge to grab the little brat by the collar and spank him hard, before taking the letter with a dramatically low hp bar, and half of it soaked in the little brat's sweat.

yet, the boy clearly hadn't realized his mistakes and was still looking at myne, in the same way, waiters in a restaurant look at their customers while collecting the bill.

shaking his head helplessly, myne first cast a cleaning spell on the letter before examining it. the envelope didn't have any name or seal on it and looked very suspicious at first glance. myne gave the little boy a quick glance, who was honestly standing in his place, silently waiting for further instructions.

no matter what he said, this little guy had all the qualities to become a perfect henchman.

after confirming that there wasn't anything wrong with the boy, myne opened the envelope and took out the wrinkled letter. he focused all his attention on it, but to his surprise, the letter was very short and he finished reading it before he could even react.

"i don't need your help!"

that was all written in the letter, a complete waste of resources. just to write a few words, she wasted an envelope, a sheet of paper, and most importantly, an entire gold coin to hire a delivery boy. myne didn't know what to say. as expected of rich people?

anyway, the letter successfully shocked myne, leaving him completely dumbfounded.

what the hell?! what kind of joke is this? she went through so much trouble just to tell me those few useless words that even a child wouldn't believe? does she have something wrong with her brain? if she didn't need my help, then couldn't she just ignore me? i hardly know anything about her anyway.

if she hadn't responded, i would have naturally gone on my way...

wait, could this be a new trick to send a hidden message? is she afraid her husband might intercept this letter, and find out about our affair in advance at critical moments like those typical nonsense in novels? so she wrote this false message that only i can understand? hmm, that makes sense. she's more clever and cautious than i expected. as expected of the woman i've set my eyes on.

how could she be an idiot?

patting himself on the back mentally, myne nodded with satisfaction. he tucked the letter away and began to plan his next course of action.
