I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 291: First assignment with a new team (2)

As he walked over, he raised his hand to wave at me with a smile on his face.

Seeing this, I waved back at him.

When he came over, he asked, "How are you feeling? Excited about working with our first dungeon raid team today?"

Everyone in our group gave a nod, even me.

After all, it was necessary to leave a good first impression.

But it seemed like we couldn't do that with the way that the others looked at us.

Rupert came over to me and said, "I'm glad to have you, though it is quite the boring job today. We'll just be hunting in this break zone, so you'll be free to go about as you wish."

All of us couldn't help being surprised by this.

We had only been told to come to this break zone, but no one had told us what the mission was.

I had thought that it was another large group of monsters like when Bing Xue had been sent to that break zone, but that didn't seem to be the case.

In short, they were here to babysit us.

Since we weren't allowed to go into the dungeons with what happened in the raid dungeon, we were only allowed to go to break zones. But how often would a problem occur with a break zone that would need handling from an elite team like the first dungeon raid team?

So it was clear that they were just here to watch over us, or rather me as we hunted in this break zone.

That was why they all looked at us with unhappy looks.

I thought it was something else, but it was just that we were the reason why they had been demoted like this.

Rupert saw the look on my face and he knew that I had figured something out, so he said, "It's up to you to prove them wrong. Are you up for it?"

Up for it?

It didn't matter if I was up for it or not when I was thrown into the pit like this, but there really wasn't anything that I could do about it.

I had no choice but to accept this and try my best to break the ice with the rest of the group.

With a bitter smile, I said, "It's not like I have any choice, right?"

Rupert just looked at me with a knowing smile without saying anything.

But then he came forward to place his arm around my shoulder.

When he came forward, the others couldn't help moving out of the way for him.

For some reason, both Blaze and Kaito had glowing eyes as they looked at him. It was almost as if they were looking at their hero as they stared at Rupert.

With a smile on his face, he said to the others, "I have something to talk to your leader about in private? Is it alright if I steal him from you for a bit?"

They were surprised to hear this, but most of them nodded without hesitation.

There were a few of them that nodded after revealing a complicated look for a few seconds.

That came from Bing Xin, Long Shui Ling, and Claire.

After getting their agreement, Rupert pulled me away with his arm around my shoulder and we went to the side where it was just the two of us.

I knew that it wasn't for no reason that he would pull me away from the others like this, he must have something important that he needed to tell me.

So after being pulled away, I looked at him with a serious look and waited for him to speak.

Seeing this look on my face, Rupert said with a smile, "There's no need to be this serious, I just wanted to have a little talk."

I just gave a simple nod, but I had the same look on my face.

Seeing that I wouldn't relax, he just said with the same smile, "We'll be in the break zone for a few days for things to calm down and then we'll be going into the dungeons again. You don't need to worry about this, it's just temporary."

I was surprised when I heard this, but I gave a grateful nod when I heard this.

It seems that Rupert had been worried about what I thought about all of this, so he wanted to make sure that I knew that we were only here temporarily.

Then he added, "Of course, since it's a place without much danger, you should try and get close to the other members of the team. Even if they hate you now, as long as you show them a bit of power, they will change their minds."

I was once again surprised by this suggestion from him since I didn't expect him to give me such an aggressive piece of advice, but it was good advice regardless.

Then as if it was an afterthought, he suddenly said, "I want you to know that it is my job to watch over you."

Then his voice suddenly became serious as he said, "If anything happens, I will have to stop you with force. I hope that you can understand that I don't want to, but I will have no choice."

The sudden change in the tone of his voice caught me off guard, but I quickly realized that this was what he really wanted to talk to me about.

The fact that he went out of his way to talk to me about this really moved me.

After all, there was no need for him to do this since he was the leader of this group.

The only reason that he did was because he wanted to show me respect.

I gave a simple nod and said, "It's not a problem. If it does come to that, I'll understand." Then after a pause, I added with a smile, "I hope that you will show mercy if it ever does happen."

Rupert just patted me on the shoulder with a smile on his face.
