Chapter 278: After the dungeon
Chapter 278: After the dungeon
When we came out, the supporters from the guild immediately came forward to help us.
However, Tie Gang waved them away before waving at the leader of this group to come over.
The leader was surprised to be called by Tie Gang like this, but he came over to hear what Tie Gang had to say.
Tie Gang drew that leader in and whispered a few things to him.
When they were done, the leader looked at Tie Gang with a shocked look, as if he couldn't believe what he had just said.
However, when he saw the serious look that was on Tie Gang's face, he had no choice but to accept it.
This leader was someone who had worked with Tie Gang before, so he knew what kind of personality Tie Gang had. When Tie Gang had this kind of serious look, he knew that he was absolutely serious.
Since that was the case, he shouldn't waste any time.
With a nod to Tie Gang, he quickly arranged for the support team to head to different locations.
The support team all had confused looks, but they quickly followed these orders and prepared everything.
There were some that went to secure a path, there were some that went to clear out the reporters that were waiting, and there were some that carefully came forward to receive the items that we had brought back.
As for what these items were…it was the corpses of the mummy leader and the pharaoh mummy.
These two were the most important things we obtained from the raid dungeon this time, so they were absolutely careful when transporting these things.
We had even been kept here as guards to make sure that the transport for these items were done properly.
Only when several armoured trucks drove off with these things did we finally get dismissed.
Tie Gang looked at us with a smile on his face as he said, "Everyone get home safely and rest up." His face then turned serious as he said, "But be sure to keep the information about this to yourself. No one should have loose lips, understand?"
All of us were surprised by how serious Tie Gang was, but we could understand why he was being this serious.
So we all nodded in agreement.
As we left, I could see that there were still people looking at me with strange looks.
It seemed that it would be a while before I could rid myself of this.
…
The next morning, the news that came out shocked the world.
When such a big event happened, it was impossible to keep it under wraps since there were always loose lips.
It was certain that whoever was the leak would be punished, but the damage had been done.
"Traces of the demon king found in The Pyramid."
That was the headline that was at the top of every newspaper, every news site, the focus of every news show, and plastered all over every form of media.
In a single night, everyone learned of this matter.
The internet exploded when the news of the demon king came out.
There were many trolls that wanted to use this to gain attention, but there would always be the voice of truth that came through.
I was surprised by how many details they were able to find out, it was almost as if they had been there themselves.
But I knew that it was impossible for a second leak to happen.
That was because I had already received a text from both the guild and Long Shui Ling.
As soon as the leak happened, the guild had immediately cracked down on the person who did it. They had released their information on the guild's forum to make an example out of them, so that no one else would do the same.
So if anyone did actually leak more information, then it would be suicidal.
Not to mention, Long Shui Ling's text told me that the Long Family had gotten involved.
They might not have gotten involved if it was a normal leak, but since Long Shui Ling had also gone into the raid dungeon and was involved in this matter, they had no choice but to get involved.
One of the top guilds, Elementia and the richest family in the world, the Long Family.
If someone wanted to make an enemy out of both of them, they would be insane.
So for now, it would be impossible for anyone from the guild to leak anything else.
The only ones that could leak information were the ones from the Awakener Association.
The Awakener Association was a much more loosely gathered group with different factions, all of whom had different goals. There would even be people who would expose this information for their own benefits.
Still, with Elementia and the Long Family working together, there was no information on those that had gone into the raid dungeon.
Otherwise, my apartment definitely would have been surrounded by now.
Though I knew that this was all for Long Shui Ling, rather than for any of us.
Now that this information was out, I knew that something would happen.
So the first thing that I did was seal off something inside of the safe that I had bought a while ago.
When I put it in, it was struggling and fighting back, but it couldn't do anything as I put it into the safe.
Then it was all about waiting for what would come.
It was a text from Su Chen at first asking me if I was free right now.
I texted back that I was and I waited for him to come pick me up.
But it wasn't just Su Chen who came.
It was an entire group that came to pick me up and judging by the magic energy coming from them, they weren't normal people.
These were all powerful Awakeners.
When we met, Su Chen said, "I'm here to bring you to the guild headquarters."
The Awakeners seemed relaxed, but I could see that all of their hands were on their weapons as if they were prepared to attack at any moment.
I just raised my hands and said, "I'll come with you, there's no need to look at me like that."
