As I laid there in bed, I couldn't help thinking about what Julius had said in the afternoon.
He had told that the prize wasn't useful to him and would be useful to .
But even if that was the case, would he really forfeit like that?
After all, even if the prize wasn't useful to him, there should be a use to the fa and prestige that ca from winning this tournant, right?
So even if he didn't want the prize, he should have remained just for that.
So why would he forfeit that easily?
I couldn't help feeling that there was sothing wrong with all of this.
Julius and the Rothschild Family, they should have secrets that they wanted to hide, which was why they didn't want the wrong kind of attention. As such, it was most likely because of this that he had forfeited in the first place.
I also didn't want the sa kind of attention since I had secrets that I wanted to hide.
Especially the one about my other identity…
Then did that an that I should also give up tomorrow?
Yes, if I gave up tomorrow, it would be what everyone would expect.
Tammy had already shown her power, so if I forfeited the match, it would be sothing that they could all accept.
That would be the best case scenario, wouldn't it?
Slowly, I ca to a decision and I was starting to feel tired as the strings of tension cut.
Or at least that was what I thought was going to happen.
But before I could fall asleep, there was a voice that said, "Wait a minute."
I was surprised to hear this voice since it was a voice that I hadn't heard in a long ti.
Since setting off for the tournant, this voice had been silent the entire ti, no matter how I tried to talk to her.
But now, she finally seed willing to talk.
Since she was willing to talk, I let her out.
Standing in front of was Lilith who had gone completely silent this entire ti.
As she stood there in front of , she crossed her arms and looked at with a serious look.
I couldn't help being surprised when I saw her acting like this since it was rare for her to act like this.
Normally, she would be more carefree and would be teasing .
But now…it seed like there was sothing serious that she needed to discuss.
Seeing that she didn't say anything in the end, I took the initiative to say, "What is it that you want to talk about?"
Lilith looked at for a bit before saying with a sigh, "Are you planning on forfeiting tomorrow?"
I was surprised to hear this, but then again, she was the one that had put the demon king system in . Back when she did it, she had spoken directly in my mind.
So it shouldn't be strange that she would be able to read my thoughts.
I just gave a calm nod and said, "That's right, I'm planning on giving up. What's wrong with that?"
Lilith didn't say anything at first, but then she suddenly said, "You can't forfeit. You have to win tomorrow and take first place."
I couldn't help being taken aback when I heard this, but then I asked, "Why? There's nothing to gain from winning this, is there?"
Then before she could say anything, I suddenly asked, "Unless there's sothing that you're hiding from ?"
The mont that I asked this, Lilith imdiately fell silent as if she was hesitant to speak.
It seed that there really was sothing that she was hiding from that she didn't say anything this entire ti.
Finally when she spoke, she said sothing that I didn't expect.
"I'll make this a quest and let you decide."
With that, there was a prompt that appeared in front of .
I was caught off guard by this sudden prompt, but I was even more shocked when I saw what it was.
It was a mission from the system and as expected, it was to win the tournant.
However, the shocking thing was the prize that was offered.
"A new exclusive skill for the Demon King of Lust."
I couldn't help looking at Lilith with a shocked look after reading this, but she didn't seem to react at all.
So at the very least, it seed like this was real. Enjoy new stories from empire
But what was so important about winning this tournant that she would even offer sothing like this?
I couldn't help feeling another bad feeling.
It was like there was sothing that was very wrong with this situation that made feel like it was very dangerous.
But the temptation that ca from a new skill being offered…
The ones that I already had were very powerful, so if I were to get another one…
I really didn't know what to do anymore.
I had already co to the conclusion that I should give up, but when this mission was offered to , I once again started to hesitate.
Should I give up and take the safe path or risk it and complete this mission, while taking the danger that ca with it?
Once again, I felt like I couldn't sleep anymore.
So I turned to Lilith and asked her sothing.
It wasn't about the match tomorrow, but rather about what had happened in the Tower of Trials.
After she finished hearing this, Lilith just simply shook her head and said, "I have no idea what this is about. I've never heard of other worlds and intelligent beings on them before."
I couldn't help looking at her with a strange look that had a trace of doubt, but it really didn't seem like she was lying.
It seed that she really didn't know what I was talking about.
So in the end, I just dropped this matter.
As Lilith was returning to the Storage Ring, she said, "You should decide carefully what you want to do tomorrow."
The way that she said this was almost like this wasn't her problem anymore even though she was the one that caused this dilemma for in the first place.
