I Became the Demon King of Lust Chapter 360 First round (38)

I looked at her with a calm look before waving my hand and saying, "There's no need to thank us, we just used each other for our own gains."

Tammy gave a nod, but she still felt compelled to say, "If it wasn't for you, we really might not have made it out of there alive."

The other mbers of the Sol Warriors nodded in agreent when she heard this.

But I made sure to raise my hand and say, "Please don't misunderstand, there was no deeper aning to it. We were simply using each other."

I didn't know what she was doing, but it didn't seem like a good idea for her to think too much about this. Instead of letting her think more about it and co up with so ideas of her own, it was better to shut her down here and now.

Seeing that I just would not accept her gratitude, Tammy gave a sigh and said, "Alright, we'll leave it at that."

Then she turned around and looked at the other groups that followed her to say, "You can go now. There's nothing left for you here."

They were surprised to hear this, but they didn't reject this.

After all, we were still competitors in this tournant and they had gained plenty from this.

We had given them tokens from the other group as well, so they had also earned quite a few points from all of this.

Now that they've earned that much, it was better not to be greedy.

As long as they were able to keep a hold of the points that they currently had, it wouldn't be a problem for them to make it to the next round.

So right now, all they wanted to do was lay low until this round was over.

Since Tammy was giving them permission to leave, they didn't hesitate to do so.

They just thanked us and then turned to leave.

In the end, this was a competition and everyone had to look out for themselves. Even if we had worked together now, that didn't an that we would be able to work together forever.

It was very likely that we would be competitors in the next round.

The one thing that I was surprised by was that Tammy had decided to stay.

I couldn't help asking her, "Our deal is over, there's no need for you to stay here any longer, right?"

Tammy just looked at and said, "I've said that I would work with you, so I'll work with you until the end of this round."

I was surprised to hear this, but I could see the look in her eyes.

She was soone that stuck to her convictions and since she had said this, it would be hard to chase her away. So there was no need to force this matter and just let her stick with us.

After all, even if she betrayed us, we had a way of dealing with her.

But as an ally, she was quite reliable with the red gem that she had obtained.

How that would affect us in the future…it was hard to tell.

I waited for the groups that were leaving to disappear before suddenly saying, "I think that it should be ti to reveal yourselves, right?"

Everyone looked at with a confused look when they heard this.

Well, everyone except for Julius who looked at with a faint smile.

There was a silence that hung in the air as everyone waited to see what happened.

But then there were several cloaked figures that jumped out of the trees around us and landed in front of us.

When they did, everyone in our group imdiately pulled out their weapons and raised their guards. That was everyone except and Julius.

I just raised my hand for everyone to calm down before looking at the cloaked figures to say, "I figured that you would be around."

As soon as they landed, everyone imdiately recognized them.

It was Diablo's group.

Diablo ca forward to say, "How did you know? I think that we hid ourselves quite well."

I just said with a smile, "Well, it seems not well enough."

In truth, I didn't actually know a single thing about this.

It was more instinct that had made ask this.

I figured that it usually wouldn't end here and there would be sothing else that happened since the boss of this dungeon hadn't been found yet. Before that happened, there would still be sothing left.

Of course, I never expected Diablo's group to appear.

Diablo gave a chuckle before saying, "Then how did you notice?"

My brain quickly turned before I ca up with an excuse, "You've been acting suspicious since the very beginning, do you really think that no one would notice?"

Diablo gave another chuckle before saying, "Well, it seems that dropping clues did pay off."

I narrowed my eyes to look at him before saying, "Who are you and what do you want?"

Another chuckle rang out before he said, "So it seems that you don't know everything. Should I say that you're lucky or should I say that you're perceptive?"

I didn't say anything in response to this.

After a montary silence, Diablo said, "Can I see the Inferno Gem?"

I narrowed my eyes again before turning to look at Tammy.

She was the one that had the gem, so I would leave this up to her.

She looked at before looking at Diablo for a bit. After a bit of silence, she pulled out the gem for him.

Diablo looked closely at the red gem that he called the Inferno Gem before saying, "It's the real thing, good job."

As if to praise us, they suddenly raised their hands and started clapping.

For so reason, it almost seed sarcastic the way that they were clapping.

I narrowed my eyes again and asked, "So what now?"

To my surprise, Diablo gave a shrug as he said, "It's not what you think, we just have to find the one that took this Inferno Gem and give them sothing special."
