Cheat Awakening-Chapter 670 - . Mutant Den
"Well, well, well, look who's come to visit us, boys. Miss Cold Face. It seems she finally couldn't hold back and has come begging the boss to take her under his wing, like a slut, which she is."
As Myne and his gang entered the subway, following the woman in red, these unpleasant words echoed in their ears. The mutants, randomly sitting or lying around, began to speak ill of the woman in red, clearly someone very familiar with this place.
"What the f*ck? She really dares to return here, even after what she did to us last time? I wouldn't be surprised if the boss orders us to kill her at any cost, he is very moody after all," A random mutant mocked while hitting his buddy with his elbow.
"But why are you so happy? This isn't good news for us. Don't forget, she's not someone we can mess with. If the boss asks us to fight her, I don't know about her, but it would definitely be dead for us," Another mutant, listening to his friend's nonsense, spoke with a frown, instantly dampening everyone's mood. They all gave him hateful looks.
"I want to meet your boss," The woman in red, clearly not someone easily swayed by emotions, simply ignored the comments from the gangsters. She walked towards a closed, hall-like area, modified from the outside. Approaching one of the guards at the entrance, she spoke to him coldly.
"Sorry, but you're banned here. The boss specifically said he doesn't want to see your face again, under any circumstances. We can't let you inside," One of the guards, seemingly aware of the woman in red's dark history, spoke nervously. He stood in a defensive pose, as if ready to flee when he saw her showing any sign of taking action.
"Listen, baldy, my luck hasn't been great recently, and I'm not in the mood to play around. I don't f*cking care what that bastard told you. Go and tell him either he lets us meet him, or I'll force my way in. And believe me, neither you nor your boss wants to see how I force my way in," The woman in red said, drawing her cursed knives from behind her and gripping them tightly in both hands, her voice laced with a psychopathic edge.
The bald guard, hearing the woman in red's threat, gave her a long, hard look before turning their heads towards Myne, Ted and Ocea, who were clearly as confused as the new guard beside him. He sighed helplessly and walked inside the hall to deliver her message to his boss.
"That was awesome! I think if you had said a few more cool lines, that baldy would have peed his pants for sure. You've successfully impressed me. As a reward for your wonderful work, I'm willing to go on another date with you tonight. Just make sure you return to your kind and beautiful neighbour lady mode," Myne said, though he felt a pang of fear realizing the woman in red didn't seem to have a good history here. Still, not wanting to earn more of her disapproval, he stepped beside her and whispered his compliment as soon as the guard left.
"Did you forget what I said? No talking, and be vigilant," The woman in red glared at Myne, silencing him immediately. Under her murderous gaze, he stood behind her like a sad puppy.
"While we're here, no more joking. Be serious. We're in a very dangerous situation right now," Seeing Myne's sad expression, the woman in red continued. Though her tone didn't soften, her words carried a hint of care, which made Myne feel slightly better. At least now he was sure she wasn't angry with him anymore—it was just that their location wasn't appropriate for chit-chat
"The boss will let you inside, but only on one condition: you can't bring your weapons inside. Otherwise, no matter how much you threaten us, you're not getting in..." The bald guard returned two minutes later and said sternly.
"That's all right... But why are you hiding behind the door, only showing your face like a coward?" The woman in red retorted, stepping closer to the bald guard who was speaking from behind the door. As soon as she moved forward, he slammed the door shut, only daring to peek through the peephole.

The woman in red dropped her long knives on the ground and stood expressionless in front of the door. She wore only a simple, knee-length red gown, offering no place to conceal a weapon, at least this is what the bald guard thought. So after a moment of hesitation, he finally opened the door and gestured for her to come inside.
Myne, dumbfounded by his would-be girlfriend's prestige among the gangsters, quickly followed her. He tried to hand his knife to the bald guard, but the other party refused to touch it, giving Myne a crazed look as if he'd just witnessed his parent's murder.
Myne knowing that the other party misunderstood him, thinking that he wanted to harm him with the curse knife, dropped his knife on the ground. After a casual check, the bald guard let him inside as well. As for Ted and Ocea, they received VIP treatment, with no one bothering them as if they didn't exist. Clearly, the guards didn't take them seriously.
"Blatant daylight discrimination. Those bastards treat you well, but when it comes to me, they're bullying me, just because I'm more handsome than them and have better hair," Myne complained, catching up with the woman in red. He looked around curiously, still grumbling under his breath.
They were now walking down a dim passage, with fully armed gangsters standing on both sides, staring at them vigilantly as if they were facing their greatest enemy.
The woman in red, knowing that Myne was hopeless and couldn't keep his mouth shut, took a deep breath to control her anger. She refrained from scolding him this time, as too many people were staring at them.
They quickly crossed the passage and entered an open hall where more than fifty mutants stood left and right, with a middle-aged man sitting at the end of the hall on a couch, a cigar in his mouth, smoking lazily.

"Welcome, welcome, welcome, Miss Chef. Long time no see. How are you?" The boss pulled the cigar from his mouth and spoke with a smile.
"Who the f*ck are you? Where is that pink-patched guy? Wasn't he the boss a few weeks ago?" The woman in red looked at the unfamiliar middle-aged man, whom she had never seen before, and asked confusedly.
"Oh, you mean our previous boss? Well, he's gone on his honeymoon with his girlfriend, and may or may not be able to return anytime soon." As the boss said this, the corners of his people's mouths couldn't help but twitch, clearly indicating the story wasn't as simple as he was making it out to be.
"Anyway, forget about him. Although you might not know me, I have a very deep impression of you. So, you can tell me your problem, Miss Chef, and as long as it's within my limits, I will do my best to help you." The boss, who surprisingly turned out to be very easy to talk to, spoke humbly without any hint of arrogance or pride, which a gangster leader typically possessed.
The woman in red, although she felt the other party was faking and that something was definitely wrong, wasn't someone who liked to use her brain too much. Since the other party was willing to cooperate, she didn't want to create trouble. She simply looked at Myne and gestured for him to take the lead.
Seeing her looking at him, Myne quickly moved forward under the confused gaze of all the gangsters, who were wondering who this fool was, willing to stand with such a crazy woman.
"Actually, my pet is lost somewhere here, and we've come here to find him. He's a small wolf with silver-grey hair, the size of a normal dog. By the way, before you deny having my pet, I have accurate information that he is here and currently inside your secret room over there."
"So, I would be very grateful if you returned him to me." Myne, who had already located Waffle thanks to { ? }, and even understood that this gangster boss had no intention of returning Waffle, who seemed to have somehow become his thug and a key to maintaining his current position, had no intention of beating around the bush.
The boss, who had been smiling until now, hearing Myne's words and seeing all his people looking at him puzzledly with frowns, instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
Before a week ago, he was just a random gangster struggling to survive. But one day, he was wandering on the street when he found an unconscious small wolf in a random alley. Because the wolf wasn't polluted and coincidently he had the ability to control all kinds of creatures with his power, which not only made them perfect tools but also enhanced their powers, he decided to make that wolf his slave.
At first, he just wanted to use him as a blood bank, after all, the blood of pollution-free creatures or people is very rare and expensive. But who would have thought that this weak-looking wolf would turn out to be so powerful? With his help, he directly assassinated his previous boss, forcefully took his position, and from a nobody, he directly became the new boss.
But now, seeing the real owner of his tool, there was no way he would return his biggest weapon. Otherwise, forget about his luxurious life, because he was carried away by power and had behaved like an asshole and done a lot of bad things in the past week, he would definitely get beaten to death by everyone before Myne and the others left their headquarters.
