I Became the Demon King of Lust

I was the first one to react and I came forward to ask, "May we ask what this is about?"

The staff member just simply shook his head and said, "I have no idea. I was just told to come and bring you to the guild master."

I deeply knitted my brows when I heard this.

I didn\'t know what was happening, but it wasn\'t as if we couldn\'t just not go.

This was the guild master who was calling for us…

So we had no choice but to follow the staff member out.

As we walked through the headquarters, we could see that people were excited. There were many people who seemed like they were making plans on what to do about this competition that was coming.

But we couldn\'t feel the same.

I could see that all of us had anxious looks on our faces.

As for why…it was naturally because we had been suddenly summoned by the guild master.

We had no idea what Bing Lan wanted, but it shouldn\'t be good…

We took the same elevator as before and we were brought up to the floor of her office.

But instead of being brought to her office, we were led to the conference room on the other side of the floor. This was the same conference room that I had been brought to before when we were discussing what to do with Motoyasu.

The staff member just stood outside the door and said, "They\'re waiting for you."

I knitted my brows once more.

It was because he had said \'they\', instead of \'she\'.

It didn\'t seem like just a meeting with Bing Lan, but other people as well…

I asked the staff member, "Can you tell us who\'s inside?"

The staff member just seemed to ignore me when I asked this question and stood there as if he was waiting for us to go in.

I knitted my brows even more when I saw this.

There was a part of me that really wanted to leave since I could sense the danger that came from this unknown, but I had no choice but to enter the room in the end.

It wasn\'t as if I could run from the entirety of Elementia.

When I walked into the room, I wasn\'t surprised to see all the people gathered around the table.

Seeing all of them here, I revealed a look like I already expected this.

After all, there had to be a reason why we had been called here in the first place instead of meeting in the office. There had to be a reason why she had called us to this conference room instead.

So I was waiting to see what was going to happen.

The one thing that was confusing to me was that…the people who had been gathered in this room had confused looks on their faces. It was as if they didn\'t even know what they had been brought to this room for.

I recognized a few of the people in the room since I had seen them before.

There were the leaders of the dungeon raid teams and the various department heads that were here.

I had met them when we had worked together to take down Motoyasu.

For all of them to be gathered here, it should mean that something important was about to happen…

But why would it involve us?

I couldn\'t help feeling more and more worried about this…

After we came in, Bing Lan waved her hand at us as if she was telling us to come over.

After we slowly came over, she had us stand at the front of the room in front of everyone instead of sitting down.

The way that we were standing here, it was almost as if we were some kind of exhibit.

As we stood there, Bing Lan turned to the rest of the room and said, "I\'m sure that you\'re all wondering why I\'ve gathered you all here."

The ones sitting at the table couldn\'t help giving slow nods in response to this.

Bing Lan gave a nod as well before saying, "I\'m sure that you know that we\'ve won the bid for the SS Rank Dungeon over Amaterasu."

Once again, all of them gave slow nods as they waited for her to finish.

Bing Lan continued by saying, "This was in part of our offense against them after catching their spy in our midst." She turned to me and said, "That was thanks to Lin Fan here."

Once she said this, everyone turned to look at me.

There were some people that didn\'t know that, so they couldn\'t help looking at me with surprised looks.

The way that they looked at me was quite uncomfortable, but it wasn\'t as if there was anything that I could do about it.

Bing Lan just ignored my look asking for help as she turned back to say, "The other part of that was because…" After a dramatic pause, she said, "Because the Long Family suddenly gave us their support."

When they heard this, everyone suddenly revealed much stronger reactions than before.

It seemed that many of them didn\'t even know about the Long Family.

I also knitted my brows a bit when I heard this.

I knew that the Long Family had supported Elementia, which was why Long Shui Ling was able to join. I just never knew that they used their influence to help Elementia win this SS Rank Dungeon bid.

The rest of our group was also surprised to hear this since not a single person didn\'t know about the Long Group.

It was only Long Shui Ling who had a calm and embarrassed look on her face when she heard this.

Bing Lan waited for a bit for them to calm down before turning to Long Shui Ling and saying, "I\'m sure that many of you don\'t know this yet, but this person here is someone from the Long Family."

Long Shui Ling\'s face became a bit ugly when she heard this.

She had been hiding her identity, but now Bing Lan was about to reveal it.

But before she could say anything, Bing Lan had already said it.

"This young lady here is the young miss of the Long Family, Long Shui Ling."

As soon as her voice fell, there was a cold gasp that filled the room and they all turned to look at Long Shui Ling.

Long Shui Ling immediately glared at Bing Lan after she said this.

However, Bing Lan completely ignored this glare from Long Shui Ling as she continued by saying, "Without the support of the Long Family, we never would have received the rights to explore the SS Rank Dungeon so soon. It would have taken at least another year or two before anything happened."

Bing Lan stood up and stood right beside as. She gestured to us with her hand before saying, "Since that\'s the case, shouldn\'t we make an exception and give Miss Long Shui Ling\'s party a spot on the scouting team?"

Everyone was once again shocked, including me.

I never would have expected this…

This was Bing Lan letting us go through the back door to join the SS Rank Dungeon exploration team.
