I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 85: Reluctant compromise

The four of them all stared at Lin Fan in shock at first before Hayato said, "If you were here all along, why didn't you help earlier?"

Then as if he was realizing something, he added, "Not that we needed your help in the first place!"

But the others didn't act as rashly as him.

While Hayato wasn't able to see it clearly, they had seen it.

When he had appeared, he had appeared all of a sudden. They hadn't been able to follow him with their eyes at all.

Even Claire, who was used to stuff like this, couldn't keep up with him.

So it was clear that this F Ranker wasn't as simple as he seemed.

When I heard what Hayato said, I just calmly said, "Alright, it seems that you don't need any help at all. Then you're free to deal with the rest yourself."

When they heard this, all of the kids couldn't help jolting as they looked up at me in shock.

Hayato slowly said, "The rest?"

I gave a nod before pointing in front of us.

There were three more wolves that were coming over right now.

As soon as they saw this, all of these kids couldn't help revealing terrified looks.

After all, they hadn't been able to take down a single one of these wolves by themselves and now there were three of them, they didn't have any confidence in taking them.

So they all turned to look at Lin Fan.

However, I had already started moving away so that they would face the wolves alone.

Hayato quickly said, "Where are you going? Why are you running away?"

I calmly said, "Didn't you say that you didn't need any help? I'm just moving out of the way."

The moment that he heard this, he couldn't help trembling.

It was a mix of fear and anger that he was currently feeling and he didn't know which one he felt more strongly.

But these were the two emotions that were in his heart and he didn't know how to process them.

In the end, fear won out when he saw that Lin Fan was really planning on leaving.

He quickly said, "Wait, help us deal with them."

Though he was asking for help…the tone of his voice was…

I turned back to look at him and shook my head before saying, "Why should I?"

"Huh?"

The moment that they heard this, all four of them revealed shocked looks.

After all, they were technically from the same guild and they were here as a group. Wasn't it normal that he helped them now that they were in danger?

I saw the looks on their faces and knew what they were thinking, but it was easy for me to deal with this.

I only had to say a single thing and they weren't able to say anything in response.

"I'm just a F Ranker, shouldn't I stay in the back where it's safe?"

They could only look at him with a shocked look as they opened and closed their mouths, trying to think of something to say.

But in the end, they couldn't say a single thing.

Watching them fumbling around like this, I would have taken more time to let them humble themselves, but time wasn't on my side.

I couldn't just keep acting like this for long because those wolves were slowly coming over.

So I had to do something about them.

Taking a deep breath, I said, "I can help you, but…"

When they heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up, but they still waited for him to finish.

I calmly said, "You'll have to listen to what I saw, that is the condition for me helping you."

As they were about to nod, I said, "I will be the leader for the rest of this expedition, understand? It's not just until we take care of the wolves."

There was a hesitant look that appeared on their faces when they heard this.

But in the end, they still gave nods and said, "We'll listen to you."

I said with a nod, "Very good. Now turn and face the enemy."

"Eh?"

I just calmly said, "I never said anything about fighting."

When they heard this, they couldn't help saying, "You tricked us!"

I ignored this and said, "By all rights, you shouldn't be losing to them in the first place. After all, don't you have a higher rank than them?"

When they heard this, all of them couldn't help revealing awkward looks.

That was because they knew that he was right.

The wolf that they had faced before was an E Rank Monster called a Gale Wolf.

By all right, they should have been able to easily take down this Gale Wolf as D Rankers.

But what had happened was still fresh on their minds.

I could see the looks on their faces, so it wasn't hard to guess what they were thinking.

So I just calmly said, "As long as you follow my instructions, it won't be a problem for you to win against them."

"Huh?" All of them said with shocked looks that also had traces of doubt.

I just calmly leaned in and started to give them instructions.

As they listened to me, they couldn't help looking at me with strange looks like they thought that I was crazy.

However, I just kept looking back at them with the same calm expression on my face.

In the end, they all gave a sigh and chose to follow my instructions.

Blaze took the lead by facing the wolves head on.

Both Hayato and Claire moved to different sides so that they were flanking the wolves.

And finally, Qin Yue Ru was standing right beside me with her staff raised.

The wolves stopped when they saw the humans suddenly spread out like this and they revealed cautious looks.

They had thought that this would be easy since these humans seemed like easy prey, but now…

It didn't seem as simple.
