Cheat Awakening-Chapter 536 - . The Price of Mercy

June couldn’t fathom how her life had taken such a drastic turn. Once filled with carefree happiness, she now contemplated ending her own life to escape the overwhelming pain and regret.

Although her love life had been a source of dissatisfaction due to a certain scoundrel, everything else was still on the right track. But then, one fateful day, while shopping at the market, she encountered a young boy, perhaps ten years old, with unusual white hair and red eyes, very hard to ignore.

The boy was dressed in tattered clothes, his face etched with hunger, as he gazed longingly at the fruits and vegetables displayed in front of a shop.

His mouth watered, and he rubbed his stomach, but he seemed hesitant or afraid to steal. After watching him for a while, he simply sat down at the entrance of the alley and buried his head in his knees, seeming fear overwhelm his hunger, and he couldn’t make up his mind to steal a fruit.

June, who was purchasing vegetables for dinner, after seeing this couldn’t help but pity the little boy. Her maternal instincts kicked in, and she felt compelled to help. She bought some fruits and approached him. At first, the boy was wary and tried to avoid her, even attempting to run away.

But his hunger had weakened him to the extreme, and he barely managed to run a short distance before losing consciousness and collapsing on the ground.

June couldn’t just leave him there, so she decided to help the poor boy. She looked around and spotted a small restaurant. She lifted him up and brought him inside. After regaining consciousness, the boy tried to escape again, but the delicious food offered by the kind-hearted, beautiful woman before him proved too tempting to let go. Reluctantly, he gave in and began eating with great enthusiasm.

However, to June’s disappointment, the boy refused to reveal his name or tell her about his parents, insisting that he was alone and had nowhere to go.

Since June lived alone and had no one to keep her company except Myne, she decided to bring him to her house. She offered him a place to stay and food in exchange for helping with household chores. The arrangement seemed fair, but the boy hesitated, warning her that taking him in could lead her to a lot of trouble. But June didn’t take his warning seriously.

After finishing their meal, she prepared to take him home. However, when they reached the alley’s entrance, four people surrounded them and forcibly dragged them into the alley.

Those four guys harshly demanded that June hand over the boy, punctuating their request with a slap across her cheek. But her sense of justice was stronger than her fear of death, and she refused to give in, and start screaming. After a brief struggle, and with the help of a random passerby who heard her voice, they managed to escape from those four weirdos.

Realizing that she was now in grave danger, June looked at the little boy beside her, who was trembling in fear and holding her hand tightly, she hesitated for a moment, and decided to help him as much as she could. She quickly changed her clothes, gathered necessary supplies, and, amidst the commotion outside, they sneaked out through the back door and fled into the forest.

Thankfully, those four weirdos didn’t find them in the forest, and they successfully managed to escape. Next, both of them continued running without any specific direction and ended up in Ember Fall City. They had a good time there, as June had some savings, but not much, so they decided to work part-time until everything settled before returning to Lucus Town.

The plan was good, but their luck wasn’t. Only a week after she started working as a waitress in a bar, with the little boy working as a cleaner, she got into a fight with a drunkard who tried to take advantage of her. They had to flee from the bar as well.

However, because of this incident, they came to the attention of the people they were hiding from, and when they weren’t prepared, they were caught.

This time, the people who caught them weren’t chatterboxes like the last group. After capturing them, they directly brought them to an unknown, creepy-looking town and locked them in a small house. Two days later, a bald fatty in a red robe came to them and knocked them out.

When her eyes opened again, she and the little boy were in a magnificent, luxurious hall with a giant golden statue of a faceless lady.

There were two men in white robes with golden accessories standing before her, speaking in a language she did not understand. After a brief discussion, they brought both of them in front of the golden statue and performed some kind of creepy and gruesome ritual.

Suddenly, everything turned dark, and a red light shone on the little boy, which made both men in white robes so happy that they started dancing in joy.

Then they picked up the unconscious boy beside her and walked away while the bald fatty dragged her to his house. There, he first tried to fool her to be her concubine, but when she refused, he raped her with relentless cruelty, and when she showed too much resistance, he gave her some kind of unknown drugs, which made her body completely out of control.

After that, she only had vague memories of what happened. When she fully came to her senses, she was in a dark cell, injured all over, with unforgettable, hellish memories in her mind that haunted her every second.

Just when she was contemplating whether she should take her own life to free herself from the pain, she suddenly heard the sound of the cell door opening. But she was too hungry and tired to care about it. From her perspective, it might have been some perverted guard attracted to her body, wanting to play with her, which, according to her memory, was very common.

On her way to this cell, she had been played by more than ten guards already.
