I Became the Demon King of Lust

Of course, they weren\'t only talking to him because he was the leader of this raid dungeon group.

They were surrounding him because he was an A Ranker.

Building a relationship with an A Ranker was a very valuable thing. Plus, it was rare to meet A Rankers and have the chance to talk to them in the first place.

So naturally they wouldn\'t let this chance pass.

Since the meeting was over, Tie Gang returned to his normal appearance and was friendly enough to talk to them.

As for our group, we didn\'t have anything to do here.

It was our job to get ready for the dungeon.

So I led our group out.

This was the group that contained both our party and Kaito\'s party.

Since we were working together in the left flank, it made sense that we go collect the things that we needed.

It would mostly be supplies and some gear that we could use.

The gear that they provided were much better than the ones that we currently had, so we would take advantage of this to get some good gear. After all, the gear that they handed out this time would be ours to keep even after we cleared the dungeon.

For such a cheap deal, why would we not take it?

It didn\'t take us long to reach the supplies tent, but it was already completely filled with people.

Since we could think of the plan to take advantage of this situation, naturally others would be able to as well.

So we had no choice but to wait for our turn.

But as we were waiting, we could see that the good items were being taken by others.

At this rate, it didn\'t seem like there would be anything left for us.

However, that was just how it was.

We were the newbies, it wasn\'t as if they would reserve the good things for us.

Or at least that should have been the case until someone suddenly walked into the tent and walked over to us.

People had been too busy to notice this person at first, but when he walked over towards us, there were many people that recognized him.

"Isn\'t that…?"

"Why is he here?"

"Where is he going? Can I go talk to him?"

There was a lot of discussion when they saw this person, but I didn\'t think that it had anything to do with us.

That was until we heard the whispers around us get louder.

I realized that whoever it was was actually coming in our direction, so I turned to see who it was.

When I looked in that direction, I couldn\'t help being surprised because there was a face that I didn\'t expect to see in that direction. And that person seemed like he was looking right at me.

It was Tie Gang.

As he walked over, there were some people that tried to come forward to talk to him, but he just avoided them all as he came right towards us.

The rest of my group and Kaito\'s group were completely caught off guard and froze when they saw Tie Gang coming over.

I just looked at him with a slightly confused look as he walked over.

After all, we weren\'t that close in the first place.

So there shouldn\'t have been a reason for him to come this way.

I didn\'t even think that he would remember me after that short meeting.

After all, we had only met once and we had only exchanged blows once. It shouldn\'t have been anywhere near enough for him to remember me.

But he walked right up to me and raised his hand to wave at me as he said, "Little Brother Lin, why did you leave so soon? I wanted to have a talk with you before we entered the dungeon."

I looked at him with a surprised look when I heard this.

It turned out that he was indeed talking to me.

At the same time, the others around us all looked in our direction with shocked and inquisitive looks, as if they were trying to figure out just why Tie Gang was talking to us.

After he came over, he took me by the shoulder and said, "What are you just standing around for? Let\'s go and get you some gear."

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at me with shocked looks, including the members of my team and Kaito\'s team.

It was clear that not a single one of them thought that I would have this kind of connection.

Tie Gang took advantage of this momentary daze to bring us over to the counter.

Even though there were others in the way, since it was Tie Gang, they happily served us.

Since we had Tie Gang with us, they let us choose freely from the stock that they had.

It didn\'t matter what we wanted, they offered it all to us.

But to just take the best stuff with everyone watching like this…it really was hard.

So we just took some of the average leveled gear which was still better than the stuff that we had.

"Little Brother Lin, you should take some of the better stuff." Tie Gang suddenly said when he saw that we were only taking the average leveled gear.

When they heard this, the staff members went to pick out a few of the better things for us.

But before they could give them to us, I said, "Big Brother Tie, even if we take them, we won\'t be able to use them properly. It\'s better to give them to the people that can use them well."

When the others around us heard this, they let out a sigh of relief.

After all, if we took everything, there would be nothing left for them.

Once we had finished gathering our gear, Tie Gang gestured to the side and said, "Let\'s go over there and talk."

I just gave a nod before following him over.
