I Became the Demon King of Lust

After this voice rang out, everyone turned in the direction it came from to see who it was.

Though I didn't need to turn to know who this voice belonged to.

It turned out to be the leader of the other group.

He was pointing at me as he made this objection and only when he got everyone's attention did he continue.

"I don't believe that this person should be in charge of something this important. Someone like him shouldn't be allowed to do something this important."

The leader of the other group turned around and said, "He's barely joined our guild and he's someone with a F Rank power. Someone like that can't be trusted when things go poorly. He is not someone that we can trust to remain strong in the face of danger."

As he said this, he turned to the others in the crowd, as if he was inciting them.

But the way that he said this resonated with the people in the crowd as some of them nodded in agreement with this.

To put it simply, it was because of my lack of reputation that they were acting this way.

They didn't know me as opposed to the leader of this group who was a well known member of the guild.

The leader of this other group was a B Ranker named Johnny, who was known as The Constrictor because of his special binding technique. He was someone that many people looked up to, so he was someone that could move the crowd.

Now that he was calling me out like this, naturally people would start to question me.

Tie Gang slightly knitted his brows when he heard this before saying, "I'm the one that chose him because his skills are useful." Then he added after a pause, "Plus, I was the one that deemed his abilities to be useful, so it was my choice to make. As well, he is a C Ranked Irregular now, so I hope that you will remember that."

Everyone looked at Tie Gang with surprised looks.

After all, not a single person thought that he would go this far to defend Lin Fan.

They couldn't help wondering if there was indeed some kind of special relationship between Lin Fan and Tie Gang like they had thought.

They had seen how Tie Gang had treated Lin Fan before they came into the raid dungeon…

That was not something that could be easily misunderstood.

After a moment of silence, Johnny still took a deep breath and said, "Regardless, this is a matter that concerns all of our lives. I do not think that this is something that should be treated so casually. We should make sure that we have the best people on this instead of people who use relations."

Once again, he invoked the sentiment of the crowd to support him.

He knew what kind of power the crowd had and what kind of effect his words would have on them, so he was making full use of this.

I slightly knitted my brows when I saw him acting this way.

It seemed that I had underestimated this man…

I had thought that he was just a loud fool based on how he had acted yesterday, but that didn't seem to be the case.

There was a reason why he was chosen to come and there was a reason why he was a B Rank Awakener associated with Elementia.

He was not someone that was an empty lamp.

But since he seemed to have a grudge against me…it might be better to take him out in the future. He wouldn't be needed in Elementia when I took over…

After a moment of silence, Tie Gang gave a nod before saying, "You're right, we should have the best people on the job."

Everyone was surprised to hear Tie Gang agreeing with Johnny like this.

Even Johnny couldn't help looking at him with a surprised look at first, but then he revealed a smug smile as if he thought that he had already won.

But then Tie Gang's next words cut right into his pride and made his smile turn stiff.

"That's why I chose him. His skills were more suited to this situation than yours."

Johnny's lips twitched a few times before he said, "How can you say that a F Ranked power is greater than mine? Even if you are our leader, I won't stand here and let you insult me like this."

When I heard what he said, I finally got a good idea of what kind of person he was.

He was someone who took great pride in his power and looked down on those that had low ranked powers. This was why he had been picking on me the entire time since he couldn't stand that I had reached my current position in the first place.

But for me…these kinds of people were annoying to deal with.

It was clear that unless his pride was properly shattered, he wouldn't give up…

However, there was nothing for me to gain from shattering his pride.

This would be very troublesome in the future for me to deal with.

But Tie Gang had another idea in his mind.

Tie Gang looked right at Johnny who was taken aback by this gaze.

He didn't know what Tie Gang was thinking, but it felt like it wasn't anything good with the way that he looked at him.

After a moment of silence, Tie Gang said, "You think that you're stronger than him? Then prove it."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this before turning to look at Tie Gang with confused looks.

What did he mean by this?

Tie Gang quickly explained by saying, "Prove that you're stronger in a fight. If you are, then you'll be the one I choose next time. If not, then you have to apologize and drop this matter."

It wasn't just Johnny that didn't know how to respond, even I didn't know how to respond to this.

But there was one thing that I did have to say.

"Why do you keep dragging me into these things!"
