I Became the Demon King of Lust

A few hours later, I went back to the medical tent and I found that Tie Gang was also there.

When I came over, he shook his head to show that they hadn't found anything yet. Explore more at m,v l'e-m|p| y r

Looking in, I could see the doctors just sitting there looking at the glass container with despair. With how messy it was, it was as if they had tried everything that they could think of.

Though I did have to question what they were planning to do with the banana and jelly that they had brought with them. It didn't seem like they had a plan there and just seemed desperate.

Still, it made it very clear that they had no idea what to do about this piece of bandage.

Tie Gang watched them with me for a bit before saying with a sigh, "It seems like we won't be getting anything from them."

I slowly gave a regretful nod.

After a moment of silence, Tie Gang moved closer and lowered his voice as he said, "Between you and me, I took a closer look at it earlier while they were distracted."

I slowly turned to look at him as he fell silent.

After a pause, he continued by saying, "There's this strange energy attached to that thing. I can't tell exactly what it is, but it definitely seems dark."

I knitted my brows when I heard this.

I of course knew what this energy was since I had my experience with it. However, for Tie Gang to call it dark like this…

I looked at him for a bit before slowly saying, "Are you implying that…?"

My voice trailed off, but the meaning behind these words were clear.

Tie Gang looked at me with an uncertain look as he didn't say anything.

But in the end, he said with a sigh, "I don't know…I just know that if the world were to know about this, it would definitely cause a stir. After all, this is the first sign in ten years."

Just that was enough for me to ascertain what he was thinking.

He did suspect that it was related to the demon king.

As long as that was the case, it meant that I would have to be careful from now on…if I were to slip and he were to catch some signs from me, my life could be over.

From this point forth, it seemed like I couldn't make a single mistake…

Seeing the grim look on my face, Tie Gang misunderstood this look. He patted me on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry. As long as we work together, there shouldn't be a problem."

His words snapped me out of my thoughts and I realized my mistake.

I quickly gave a nod and said, "Un."

Tie Gang looked at me with a sympathetic look before waving his hand and saying, "Let's go. It's time for the meeting."

I gave another nod before following behind him.

I had snuck over before the meeting since I thought that I could take a look at the piece of bandage alone, but it didn't seem possible. So I just went to the meeting with Tie Gang.

When we arrived, I saw that we were the last ones here.

It seemed that everyone had gathered here early with how they were already deep in conversation.

As soon as we came in, the room fell silent.

There were a few pairs of eyes that glared at me when I walked in with Tie Gang, but I just ignored them.

Once we were in the tent, I was about to go over to where my group was, but Tie Gang grabbed me by the shoulder and stopped me.

I looked at him with a surprised look, but he looked back at me with a firm look.

In front of this, I had no choice but to back down and follow him onto the stage.

There were more glares that came in my direction when I went onto the stage, but I once again ignored them.

After reaching the stage, Tie Gang shocked everyone by saying, "I have some important news for all of you."

Everyone had been prepared to share the meagre ideas that they had, not a single one of them expected Tie Gang to open with this.

There was only a stunned silence that followed after Tie Gang said this.

Tie Gang didn't speak right away as his eyes swept over everyone. This just made them feel even more anxious.

After another long pause, Tie Gang said, "Because of recent discoveries, there is a large suspicion that there is a demon king in this dungeon."

There were many sharp breaths taken after he said this.

I couldn't help looking at Tie Gang with a very strange look after he said this.

One moment he was telling me that we shouldn't be spreading this and the next minute…he was telling everyone.

He really wasn't being consistent at all!

Everyone looked at Tie Gang with looks as if they were trying to figure out if he was joking or not. However, he just stood there with a serious look on his face like he wasn't joking.

So none of them knew what to say.

Demon King, that was a term that they had all heard before, but they never thought that this would ever be related to them.

After all, demon kings were even things that governments hadn't been able to handle yet since they had no idea what the demon kings were.

Since the appearance of the dungeons, there hadn't been a single trace of the demon kings.

So even if they wanted to send people after the demon kings, even if the demon kings were the end goal of the dungeons, they hadn't been able to do a single thing to them.

For a demon king to suddenly appear here…it didn't seem too likely.

For a demon king to suddenly appear, they really found it hard to believe.
