I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 279: Cuffed

Su Chen gave a nod with a sigh after hearing this.

This was a sigh of relief since he had been afraid that I would do something that I couldn't take back.

But seeing that I was willing to go back with them, he really was relieved.

However, it didn't seem like the Awakeners that followed him felt the same.

After seeing that I agreed to come with them, the Awakeners exchanged glances before they split into two groups.

One of the group still had their hands on their weapons as if they were prepared to cut me down if I did anything. The other group, which was just two of them, came forward with something in their hands.

They came up in front of me and one of them said, "Put your hands down and stick them out in front of you."

As they came closer, I could see what was in their hands.

It seemed like a pair of bracelets, but with how thick they were, it was clear that they were cuffs.

These were clearly to suppress my powers and bring me in.

Su Chen deeply knitted his brows when he saw this and he asked, "What are you doing?"

The one holding the cuffs still faced me and waited for me to put my hands down. The other one turned to Su Chen and said, "These were the orders that we received. We cannot go against these orders."

Su Chen knitted his brows even more when he heard this and he was about to say something, but he stopped when he saw me shaking my head at him.

I had honestly expected this, though the cuffs were definitely a bit far in my opinion.

Still, if I didn't go along with it, it would only become much worse.

So for now, it was better to suck it up and go along with what they wanted to do.

I put my hands in front of me and they put the cuffs on my wrists.

As soon as these cuffs were placed on my wrists, they immediately started to glow.

I could feel a restraining sensation coming from these cuffs on my wrists before they suddenly linked up with a magical chain. With this magical chain, they had become an actual pair of handcuffs.

Only when those cuffs were on my wrists did the ones that were on full alert relax a bit.

The one that had put the cuffs on my wrists reached their hand out to push my back and said, "Let's go."

I just let myself be pushed along by this person.

When we passed by Su Chen, he looked at me with an apologetic and awkward look.

But I just shook my head to show that I didn't mind before saying, "Innocent until proven guilty, right?"

These words of mine weren't just for Su Chen, they were also for the ones that had been sent to capture me.

However, I could see by the way that they were looking at me that they had clearly heard some things about me. It was clear that they didn't trust me at all, they might have even thought that I was the enemy.

The only reason they didn't do anything to me was because they had been ordered not to.

Whether that was because they were afraid that I might do something as the demon king, or if it was because they still trusted me, I had no idea. All I knew was that unless I got through this, it would be impossible to remain in human society anymore.

When we came down, there were some people that looked at us with strange looks.

I was certain that it would be hard to explain this to my neighbours later on, but there was nothing that I could do right now.

As I was marched out, there was a familiar face who was waiting there for me.

This was the same driver that had come to pick me up the first time.

When he saw the way that I had been treated by the Awakeners, he narrowed his eyes to glare at them.

A few of them turned their gazes away, but the ones that were right behind me didn't look away. Instead, they matched gazes with the driver, as if they weren't afraid of him at all.

The driver just looked at them for a bit before turning back to me with a smile and saying, "Young man, it seems like you've gotten yourself in quite a bit of trouble this time."

I looked back at him with a smile as I said, "It seems so."

The driver said with a nod, "Well, sometimes you get caught up in these things, but I'm sure that you'll be able to get through this."

I was surprised by what the driver said, but I still gave a grateful nod as I said, "Thank you."

The driver gave a nod back before turning around to open the door for me.

The ones behind me pushed me forward and into the car without any care at all.

This caused the driver to glare at them again, but they didn't care as they came into the car with me.

Su Chen was about to come in as well, but they stopped him from getting in the back with them. Instead, they pointed at the passenger seat beside the driver's seat, indicating for him to go with the driver.

Su Chen knitted his brows, but he stopped himself when the driver patted him on the shoulder and waved at him to follow.

Su Chen gave a sigh along with the driver before getting in the front with him.

From where I was sitting, I could see sneers from the Awakeners as they looked at the two of them.

It was clear that whoever these Awakeners were, they looked down on both Su Chen and the driver.

It was clear that whoever was behind these Awakeners…they most likely had it out for either me or Bing Lan since she most likely was the one that arranged for them to come with this group to get me.
