I Became the Demon King of Lust

None of us said a thing after hearing this.

We just looked at Diablo with looks of suspicion and confusion.

What did he mean by this?

Diablo didn't mind the looks that we gave him at all as he just said in a casual manner, "Man, I really never expected anyone to get that thing. After all, even if you were to make your way through all of those beasts, there are all those that are waiting outside and even humans that want to take this thing from you. No one is immune to a treasure like the Inferno Gem after all."

There was nothing wrong with the words that he said, it was just that the way that he said it was a bit infuriating…

The cloaked figures around Diablo nodded in agreement before giving their own opinions.

It seemed that all of them were the same as Diablo, even the words that they said sounded similar to what he said.

It made all of us reveal dark looks on our faces.

But from the things that they said, there was something that I slowly realized…

The way that they were talking, it was as if they knew more than they put on. It was almost as if they were the ones that had planned everything.

I narrowed my eyes to look at this group before suddenly revealing a look of realization.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

At the same time, I could see that Julius had the same look of realization as me.

Both of us looked at each other with smiles before shaking our heads.

The others looked at us with strange looks, as if they were wondering what we were doing.

I gave a cough and said, "I never thought that you would be people on the side of the administration. So you were leading us here and set up the event?"

Stay tuned with empire

When they heard this, Diablo's group stopped talking and turned to look at us.

Though we couldn't see their expressions, it wasn't hard to guess that they were most likely looking at us with smiles on their faces.

Diablo gave a nod and said, "So you figured it out in the end." After a pause, his tone changed to one that almost seemed a bit disdainful as he said, "A bit slow since we've already given you so many hints."

My lips couldn't help twitching when I heard this, but I didn't refute him.

I just waited for him to finish what he was doing so he could tell me what was going to happen now.

But he just didn't stop as he started discussing this matter with the other cloaked figures.

It seemed that they weren't happy unless they completely bashed into the ground.

I could see that Julius had a relieved look since he had also figured this out, but had left it to me to confront Diablo.

After taking a while to bash me, Diablo finally turned back and said, "That's right, we work with the administrators of this tournament to play a role. Our role is to lead people to that cave and then initiate that event."

All of the things that he said were things that we had already figured out, so there was nothing to say in response.

What I was waiting for was…

"Since you have obtained the Inferno Gem, that means that you have obtained the right to receive some special information."

Finally, he was getting to the part that we actually cared about.

It was the reward that came from clearing this event.

Otherwise, who would have listened to all of their insults?

Diablo's voice suddenly turned serious as he said, "As the ones that obtained the Inferno Gem, you have the right to obtain information on the final boss of this dungeon."

But then he suddenly stopped before saying the rest and turned to Tammy to ask, "You're the one that obtained the Inferno Gem in the end and the one that is entitled to this information." He slowly turned to look at the rest of us to say, "Do you want to step aside to talk privately or do you want me to say it in front of everyone?"

There was a worried feeling that filled me when I heard this, or at least that was what was starting to develop. It didn't get a chance to become a proper worried feeling since Tammy responded right away.

"There's no need to hide it from them. I wouldn't have gotten this if it wasn't for them."

She had said this without any hesitation, as if she had already made up her mind.

Diablo gave a nod before saying, "Good, it seems like there's nothing to worry about."

We couldn't help revealing confused looks when we heard this, but he didn't elaborate further on this.

Since he didn't elaborate, it wasn't as if there was anything we could do about that.

Diablo just simply said, "The final boss of this dungeon is a dragon."

Dragon…

That was a terrifying word.

After all, all dragons were considered at least A Rank Monsters with how powerful they were and those were only the weakest dragons. The stronger ones would easily be considered S Rank Monsters.

Those were monsters that were as strong as the guild masters of the large guilds.

Seeing the look on our faces, Diablo slowly said, "But of course, it's a young dragon, so it's only B Ranked."

We all looked at him with bitter looks when we heard this.

His face was hidden by the cloak he was wearing, but I was certain that he should have a smile on his face with the way that he was looking at us.

He was clearly teasing us by giving us the information bit by bit instead of all at once.

But I couldn't help feeling that it was a bit strange.

There didn't seem to be anything to gain from doing this with us.

Could it be that there was a reason for him stalling like this?
