I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 422 Third round (18)

As I laid there in bed, I couldn't help thinking about what Julius had said in the afternoon.

He had told me that the prize wasn't useful to him and would be useful to me.

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 fame and prestige that came from winning this tournament, 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 something 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 same kind of attention since I had secrets that I wanted to hide.

Especially the one about my other identity…

Then did that mean 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 something that they could all accept.

That would be the best case scenario, wouldn't it?

Slowly, I came 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 time.

Since setting off for the tournament, this voice had been silent the entire time, no matter how I tried to talk to her.

But now, she finally seemed willing to talk.

Since she was willing to talk, I let her out.

Standing in front of me was Lilith who had gone completely silent this entire time.

As she stood there in front of me, she crossed her arms and looked at me 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 me.

But now…it seemed like there was something 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 me 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 me. 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 something that you're hiding from me?"

The moment that I asked this, Lilith immediately fell silent as if she was hesitant to speak.

It seemed that there really was something that she was hiding from me that she didn't say anything this entire time.

Finally when she spoke, she said something 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 me.

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 tournament.

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 seemed like this was real. Enjoy new stories from empire

But what was so important about winning this tournament that she would even offer something like this?

I couldn't help feeling another bad feeling.

It was like there was something that was very wrong with this situation that made me feel like it was very dangerous.

But the temptation that came 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 come to the conclusion that I should give up, but when this mission was offered to me, 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 came with it?

Once again, I felt like I couldn't sleep anymore.

So I turned to Lilith and asked her something.

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 seemed 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 me in the first place.
