I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 280: Examined (1)

It didn't take long for us to arrive at the headquarters.

When we arrived, I found that there was a large crowd that was gathered outside.

With the cameras in their hands, it was clear that these people were reporters.

When they saw our car pull up in front of the headquarters, they immediately came to surround us.

The driver had wanted to go to a less conspicuous place, but the Awakeners forced him to go to the front entrance.

Then they pushed me out of the car and out in front of all of these reporters.

The moment that they saw us come out, there were many cameras raised and flashes that appeared as they took their photos.

These reporters immediately started asking all kinds of questions while taking their photos.

"Is this another one of the whistleblowers?"

"How do you feel about being caught like this?"

"Can you please tell us what you did and how you feel about doing it?"

In the face of all of this, I just held my head up high and walked forward without engaging with any of them.

But the Awakeners that were behind me didn't force me forward for once. In fact, they even grabbed the hem of my shirt so that I would be forced to walk slower in front of all these reporters.

It was as if they were parading me in front of these reporters, giving them time to ask their questions and take their pictures.

It was clear that whoever was targeting either me or Bing Lan had arranged all of this.

There was nothing that I could do since I had the cuffs restraining my power and the Awakeners not letting me walk faster.

In the end, it was Su Chen who pushed forward and pushed those Awakeners away from me, allowing me to walk faster.

He glared at them before turning to the reporters and chasing them off.

He was a skilled handler, so he was used to doing things like this.

But it was already too late to stop them since they had taken plenty of pictures.

At the same time, I could see on the faces of a few of these reporters that they wouldn't hesitate to write false stories.

Whether it was because they had no conscience or if they were paid, I didn't know. All I knew was that they would most certainly slander me however they could.

Still, I didn't show any signs of distress as I held my head up high and walked into the lobby of the headquarters building.

When we walked in, the members of the guild who were walking around in this lobby all turned to look at me with strange looks. There were some of them that recognized me, but most of them were just staring to see what was happening.

Still, it didn't take long before whispers were spread by those who knew who I was.

Throughout all of this, I just kept walking forward with a calm look on my face.

Though I did stop for a bit since I had no idea where we were going.

The Awakeners escorting me weren't in a rush to bring me in and made us walk in the lobby in front of everyone for a bit before finally bringing us down a hall.

We didn't go to the elevator and go to Bing Lan's floor.

Instead, I was brought to a large conference room that was on the first floor.

Once we arrived, they made us wait outside as they went in to report that we were here.

When the door opened, I could hear many different voices coming from inside and from the gap that formed, I could see that there were many people sitting in there.

It seemed that whatever this was, it wasn't small…

After a few minutes, the Awakeners who had escorted us here brought us inside.

I saw some familiar faces and some unfamiliar faces.

But the familiar faces that I saw were those important people of the guild that I had met before when I worked with them to catch Motoyasu.

It was clear that this meeting was not a meeting of low ranking members. Continue your adventure at mvl

At the very head of this meeting was Bing Lan, so it was clear that this was a meeting for high ranking members of the guild.

Once I was brought in, the room immediately fell silent as everyone turned to look at me.

The way that they looked at me was strange, with many different emotions aimed at me.

There were some gazes that had curiosity, there were some that had complicated expressions, and some that had straight hostility.

I didn't need to think about it to guess what this was all about.

The mummy leader and the pharaoh mummy had both stated it, so there was no hiding it.

It was about the fact that they said I had the same energy as their lord in me.

And this lord that they referred to was…the demon king.

So by that logic, it only made sense that I was related to the demon king in some sense.

Since the demon king was the enemy of humanity, they naturally started to regard me as the enemy of humanity as well.

The silence continued in the room for a bit before Bing Lan broke it by saying, "Who put those cuffs on him?"

Everyone was surprised to hear that as her first question, but no one said a thing.

The Awakeners who had done it couldn't help taking an awkward step back and looking away from her, as if they didn't dare meet her gaze.

Bing Lan just remained silent, but her aura put pressure on everyone in the room as she remained silent.

Finally, she said, "Why haven't you taken them off him yet?"

The Awakeners didn't act when they heard this and some of the people in the room revealed complicated looks.

After a bit of silence, one of them said, "Wouldn't it be dangerous to take these cuffs off him?"
