I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 60: Return

When we returned, what was expected to happen happened.

When the guards at the gate saw me carrying the Ice Princess back, they immediately raised their weapons and shouted, "Stop where you are and raise your hands!"

Naturally they immediately suspected that I had done something to the Ice Princess.

But if I had really done something, would I have carried her back like this?

The Ice Princess quickly stopped the guards from doing anything rash and then quickly reported the situation.

After they finished listening to her story, they looked at me with strange looks.

Of course, I ignored them and just pretended that I didn't see anything.

In the end, the guards went to report this while a few of them stood by to watch over us. Though, it was said that they were watching over 'us', it was clear that they were here to watch over me.

Whether it was to make sure I didn't do anything or run away, I couldn't tell, but I once again ignored it.

When more people came, I was separated from the Ice Princess and…put in jail.

It wasn't really a jail, but a temporary holding cell that they had created.

From what I could see, this was actually a cell that had been created to hold live monsters that they wanted to transport back. After all, there was always some rich person that would want something like that…

But now, it was being used to hold me.

Still, I didn't panic since I had already expected this to happen.

This was all a part of my plan, so all I had to do was wait for what came next.

However, now that things had settled, I really couldn't help letting out a long sigh of relief.

The trip this time had really been dangerous and there had been too many surprises.

If I hadn't adapted to the surprises as they came, I really might have died this time…No, I wouldn't have died, but I would have been put in a very dangerous situation. Being exposed would be the same as dying…

So I was glad that I was able to save the Ice Princess as a cover for myself.

It was worth manipulating those C Rankers with my hypnosis.

…

After killing the first C Ranker, all of the other C Rankers looked at me with eyes filled with fear.

But I didn't kill them right away since I had something that I needed for them to do.

I chose two of them that seemed like they would make good pursuers and gave them their instructions. They would chase after me and the Ice Princess, always keeping their distance until the Ice Princess woke up.

Only when she woke up would they slowly get closer and closer until they caught up to us.

This would give me enough time to talk to her and catch her up on our situation. That way, I could make an even bigger impact when I saved her.

As for the others…

"You will go and fight the monsters that come out of the Dungeon Break. Don't let a single one of them past you, even if you have to sacrifice yourself for it. If someone comes to subdue the Dungeon Break, you will throw yourselves at the monsters and let them kill you before they arrive."

When the C Rankers heard this, all of them revealed looks of shock.

However, that didn't stop their bodies from moving forward.

The moment that I had finished giving the order, they all started to move in the direction of the Dungeon Break.

But as they moved, they started shouting out.

Some of them cursed me, some of them demanded to know what was happening, and there were some that even begged me to let them go.

But I just calmly watched as they left.

Before they did leave, I suddenly remembered something.

If they made too much noise, wouldn't they be able to attract the attention of the ones that came to subdue the Dungeon Break?

So I had to make sure that they wouldn't be able to say anything to reveal my secrets.

Before they could leave my range, I suddenly said, "Silence."

As soon as my voice fell, all of them fell silent.

They had still been shouting while they had been leaving and I had let them keep shouting because I thought that it would attract more monsters. But now it seemed like being silent was better.

The noise that they made wasn't worth letting my secret be revealed.

As for trying to find out who had sent them in the first place…that wasn't for me.

After all, I didn't want to get caught up in more things than I needed to. I just needed to care about myself and not about the plans of others.

I turned to look at the two C Rankers who were still waiting and said with a smile, "Come and chase us after we've left for five minutes."

Without caring about how they would react to this, I went over to the Ice Princess and put her on my back before heading off.

With the map, I was able to easily find the way back to the camp.

As for the rest…it was history.

…

Now that I was sitting here in the cage, the only thing that I could do was wait.

I could see that the sky was getting darker as I sat here, so I should have been here for several hours already. Of course, I had no way of knowing since they had already confiscated my phone and everything else that I could have used to contact the outside world.

But before the sun set, there were a few guards that approached my cage.

They opened up the cage and pointed their guns at me.

One of the guards who seemed like they were the leader of this group said, "Stand up and follow me."

I didn't resist at all as I followed their order and was led off to the main tent in this camp.
