I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 421 Third round (17)

Though he looked at me, I could only shake my head to show that I didn't know what was happening either.

The judge looked at me like he didn't believe me at first, but he eventually turned away.

I didn't find it strange that he didn't believe me since I should be the only one that benefited from Julius forfeiting like this. So it wouldn't have been strange if I was manipulating him in some way.

But this time, I really didn't do anything.

I was just as shocked as the judge when I heard that Julius was forfeiting.

When the judge turned away, I looked at Julius and said, "Are you sure about this? Do you really want to surrender?"

The judge turned back when he heard this and he nodded in agreement before waiting for Julius' response. The way that he acted almost seemed like he would be willing to overturn Julius' forfeit as long as he said anything.

But Julius just calmly said, "Yes, I have no reason to keep going with this tournament. I've already accomplished my goals, so I'll let my brother carry on for me."

The look on my face turned stiff when I heard this.

However, it was worse for the judge who really looked like he wanted to crack a few heads.

I calmly asked, "What about putting on a good show?"

Julius gestured around us and said, "Isn't this a good show? Look at how they are all reacting."

The stiff look on my face turned into a bitter smile when I heard this.

There was even a part of me that wanted to crack his head now after he said this.

The judge had progressed to looking like he was going to explode from anger.

It really seemed like he wasn't satisfied unless he enraged everyone that was around him, including me.

The crowd that was slowly putting it together was getting more and more angry.

Julius came over to put his arm around my shoulder again and said, "Then shall we go? There's no need for us to stay here anymore."

I just gave a sigh and gave up at this point since I knew that there was nothing that I could say that would convince him.

It was better to get out of here as soon as possible since I could see that the crowd was getting disgruntled.

With a nod, the two of us started heading off the stage. Continue reading at empire

But it was at that moment that the crowd actually exploded.

It was only a single person at first, but as soon as they did, everyone else quickly followed them.

As soon as the first person threw something, it was as if the crowd had awakened from the daze that they had been in. There were more and more things that were thrown into the stadium.

There were many things that were thrown at Julius and me, but none of them seemed to hit us.

It was as if there was a barrier around us that no one could break through.

I could see that the finger of the hand on my shoulder was pointing up, so it was most likely a barrier that Julius had put up.

Even now, I still couldn't get a gauge on just what the limits of his power were…So I was certain that I would have lost in this fight since I wasn't planning on using my trump cards in the first place.

Once we reached the exit, we could still hear the booing that was coming from behind us

However, Julius looked at me and said, "You're wondering why I forfeited, right?"

I was caught off guard when he suddenly looked at me and said this, but I slowly gave a nod in the end.

He just said with a casual smile, "Well like I said, there was nothing for me to gain from continuing on with this."

I was even more confused when I heard this.

He gave a sigh as he said, "I just want you to know that I don't have any bad intentions towards you. I sincerely do want to be your friend."

The more that he spoke, the more confused I became.

But in the end, I still gave a nod to show that I understood.

The smile returned to Julius' face as he said, "Just know that the prize isn't as useful to me as it would be for you. In fact, it should only be useful to you, so I doubt there would be anyone that would compete with you."

Once again, confusion filled me as he spoke in these cryptic words.

I tried asking him more about this, but it didn't seem like he would be willing to say anything more than this.

However, there was a strange feeling that filled me again after he said this.

It was almost as if he was implying something at the very end…something that I hoped wasn't true.

After all, if this was true, then it would mean something just as bad would happen tomorrow.

Since Julius didn't seem willing to share any more information with me, I went to find the only other person that I might be able to get this information from.

I went to find Tammy.

She was still in the waiting room when I came back, so I went right up to her and said, "We'll be fighting tomorrow."

She gave a nod before saying, "Yes, it'll be the two of us on stage tomorrow."

I looked at her in silence for a bit before bluntly saying, "Are you planning on forfeiting tomorrow?"

She didn't give me an answer and just said instead, "I'm looking forward to seeing you on stage tomorrow."

That wasn't a yes and it wasn't a no, but I could tell that there was something more to this that she wasn't telling me.

No, it was better to say that the answer was already there for me, but I was refusing to see it.
