I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 281: Examined (2)

The moment that this was said, Bing Lan's gaze immediately fell onto the one that had spoken.

This was one of the people that I didn't recognize, but for them to be here, it meant that they had an important position in the guild.

But Bing Lan didn't seem to care at all as she glared at him.

The pressure that she put on this person didn't just suppress him, it even suppressed the ones that were sitting beside him.

These people all glared at the one who had spoken, as if they were blaming him for getting them caught up in this mess.

But even then, not a single person dared to speak.

After a long silence, Bing Lan said, "So you're saying that you can't even trust a member of our guild now? If that's the case, then does that mean that you doubt whether I'll be able to refrain from hurting you? Are you going to say that I'm a danger just because I'm a S Ranker?"

The person who had spoken opened and closed his mouth a few times, as if he didn't know what to say.

In the end, it was someone else who spoke up for him.

This person was much further up the table, showing that they were in an even higher position.

With how far up they were, it seemed like they were one of the higher management.

After all, they were sitting with the first dungeon raid team leader and third dungeon raid team leader that I had met before.

If I had to guess, they were most likely also a dungeon raid team leader.

"Guild master, that is a completely different situation. You should know that this is a demon king that we're dealing with, this isn't something that we can be callous about?" Stay tuned to mvl

Though no one said anything, the nods that some people gave were more than enough to show that they agreed with this person.

But Bing Lan had a different idea.

She just gave a snort before saying, "Second dungeon raid team leader, can you not read?"

Everyone looked at Bing Lan in shock when they heard this.

After all, not a single one of them expected the first thing out of her mouth to be this kind of insult.

The one who had been called the second dungeon raid team leader knitted his brows, but he didn't say anything as he waited to hear what Bing Lan had to say.

Bing Lan didn't continue right away as she looked at the ones that had nodded in agreement. Only after glaring at all of them did she finally say, "The report clearly stated that this was only what the dungeon monsters stated. If you read the report clearly, you should have known that they had already examined Lin Fan and found that there were no traces of this 'dark energy' that they referred to.

So I just want to know, is it because you can't read or is it something else?"

Everyone once again knitted their brows when they heard this.

They knew that she was right, but this was something that was related to the demon king, so it wasn't as if they could ignore it that easily.

Or rather, it was that they wanted the merit of finding something related to the demon king that made them do this.

If this Lin Fan really was related to the demon king and they turned him over to the Awakener Association, then wouldn't they be rewarded?

At the same time, there were some that knew how close this Lin Fan was to Bing Lan, so they wanted to use this opportunity to hurt Bing Lan's prestige.

So it wasn't as if they could back down now.

Bing Lan naturally knew that this wouldn't be enough, so she took a deep breath and said in a powerful voice, "We are humans and our only strength is our ability to work together. If we start attacking each other because of the words of monsters, then is there any difference between us and the monsters?"

As soon as she said this, it made it very difficult for them to say anything else.

After all, if they did, it would make it seem like they really were as she had called them.

They would be lower than monsters…

But in the end, the second dungeon raid team leader still spoke up.

"Still, this is something that regards the future of the entirety of mankind. This is not something that we can be careless about."

Seeing that someone was willing to speak up for them, the others let out sighs of relief and waited to back him up.

The second dungeon raid team leader continued by saying, "I suggest that for now, we at least lock him up until we can be certain that there is nothing wrong with him. If there is nothing wrong with him, then we can release him."

After saying this, he turned to look at me with narrowed eyes as he said, "We can never be too careful."

Though his words sounded righteous, I could see the hostility that was in his eyes.

It was clear that he was targeting me for some specific reason.

Bing Lan didn't say anything in response to this, which the second dungeon raid team leader mistook as agreement, so he said, "Then shall we vote on this matter? I believe that we should act as soon as possible so nothing can go wrong."

This time, the others in the room started to nod in agreement to this, though it wasn't everyone that showed their agreement for this.

But before they could force this vote out, Bing Lan suddenly said, "You're right about this matter being for the good of mankind, but I think you're mistaking something."

"Huh?" That was everyone's response when they heard this.

Bing Lan narrowed her eyes to say, "We have already confirmed that there is nothing wrong with him, so why are you treating it as if there is something wrong? Or are you saying that you don't trust the medical staff of our guild to do something as simple as this?"

Everyone slowly came to understand what she meant.

In the report that was submitted, there was a detailed medical report about this where they had already run a test on Lin Fan.

In that test, it had shown that there was nothing abnormal about him even though the mummy leader said that he felt the 'dark energy' coming from him.

So this could serve as evidence that there was nothing wrong.

For them to keep pushing at this point meant that they were just trying to find fault where there was none.

The second dungeon raid team leader revealed an ugly look, but he quickly made that expression disappear before saying, "Guild master, that was then and it was done in the middle of the dungeon. I don't think we can say that those were the best conditions for a medical examination, right?"

Bing Lan surprisingly gave a nod, but she also said, "That's why I called him in today. We'll be giving him another examination right now to prove his innocence."
